• Visual Studio Get Full Path for Project Item...

  I am trying to write a reference that specifies (among other things) that an item can only be added to either a very particular folder (i got this part by checking the ProjectItem.Name property) OR any folder contained within it. Im having a hard time getting this second part to work. I tried using the Path.GetFullPath() on the ProjectItem to be able to analyze the string returned to see if I am nested inside my particular folder, but this doesnt seem to work as the Path.GetFullPath() call returns back a path to the debug folder.... probably a simple enough question, but Im sick of fighting with it so please help! thanks in advance. Actually, Im sorry... took me a day or two to get around to coming back to put this back in (i was us ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How can I watch network communication triggered by outlook 2007 ?

  How can I watch the network communication (for example XML request/response messages) which is triggered by outlook 2007 As a concrete example I would like to see the XML data that outlook will request from a sharepoint contact list, when you at a sharepoint site has chosen a list and the action "Connect to outlook". ( In this particular sharepoint example, someone might say that I should simply watch the sharepoint web service URL in a browser, but I do not know which URL that outlook will request, since when I rightclick the properties of the added sharepoint contact list in outlook I can not find any URL. ) TomJ72, this forum is specifically for VSTO questions/issues.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compile and Build Project from command line or programatically

  I would like to compile/build a complete project from the command line or do so programmatically. What are the command line instructions and how can I do this from another application good question, I am unsure actually. I guess if that project has a reference to the dll library then it should be good. otherwise look at the compiler options to see if there is a way of adding additional files into the compile process. I've actually never ever done this before so I don't know much in this topic :-) Best bet is to start a new topic and post in the .NET base class library: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=39&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• SQL Server extending function: view dependencies

  So I have a number of separate databases on my SQL 2005 Server. I also have a number of Reports in SSRS. Many of the stored procedures in the various databases reference tables, functions, and stored procedures in other databases on the same server. How can I accomplish the effect of right clicking on a stored procedure for instance, clicking view dependencies, and having everything show up in that list, not just the items in that DB It is all stored in the database in one form or another, but I must be missing some crucial piece to integrating it all together. Note: I did not design this system, just maintaining and modifying existing items. There are no schemas to speak of. SSRS will most likely move to a dedicated server ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quaternion Multiplication is Broken

  I believe that quaternion multiplication is broken. While you write matrix multiplications (to happen in order) as A * B, you have to write quaternions the other way around, qB * qA. I was chasing a "bug" in my animation code for the longest time before I found this! Here is a code sample that clearly shows the bug: class Tester { public Tester() { Matrix m1 = Matrix.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(1, 0, 0), (float)(Math.PI / 3)); Matrix m2 = Matrix.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(0, 0, 1), (float)(Math.PI / 3)); Matrix m3 = m1 * m2; Quaternion q1 = Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(new Vector3(1, 0, 0), (float)(Math.PI / 3)); Quaternion q2 = Quaternion.CreateFr ...Show All
