• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is there a way to communicate between Word Document Addin & Word COM Addin in VSTO?

  I have Word Document Addin in VSTO 2005, but I need to add some items to MS Word menu. I'm going to use Word COM Addin to add menu items, but it's going to be separate app. I'm not sure how can I notify Word Document Addin when state changed in COM Addin. What is the best way to do that Does Word provide any functionality to solve this problem Sorry, that I wasn't clear. >>It's not clear what you mean by "Word Document Addin". Do you mean a document-level VSTO project If you have VSTO 2005 SE, you can see it on New Project Dialog under "Visual C#" > Office and it called "Word Document" project. >>It's also not clear what you mean by "state ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with CustomPeerResolver

  I have an application that is using the PeerChannel with a CustomPeerResolver. Everything is working except in one case. If I have workstations A and B running, everything is fine. If the CustomPeerResolver restarts, workstations A and B continue to work as they did (no problem). If workstations C and D are then started, they can only communicate to eachother, not A and B. If I restart workstations A and B, everyone can see eachother. Right now, this isn't terrible, but in a real-world situation it could be a BIG problem. Is there anything that can be done about this Also, is there any way to have the clients discover eachother without having a fixed peer resolver running Thanks, Joe The PNRP re ...Show All

• Windows Forms Mouseover anywhere on a user control

  Problem: I want my control to return an event when the mouse enters the control and when it leaves the control. However because i have objects on the form i've had to attach the events to them as well (as the MouseLeave event is fired when the mouse goes over a subcontrol). This means that i could receive 5 or 6 events when a user rolls their mouse over my control. Does anyone know how i can get these events to fire only once Thanks Jim ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using Bitmapfont for your scoring system

  Hey all, I just want to start out saying that I love what microsoft is doing with xna, in the few days that ive had my hands on it ive witnessed several impressive projects pop up! Anyways, on to the point of this post. I searched the forum for a post that explained a simple way to make a scoring system (using the tutorial here: http://blogs.msdn.com/garykac/articles/732007.aspx ) and it came up empty, so I figured I would help people with similar C# skills as my own are somewhat basic. After the tutorial they have you write the text to the screen using: m_font.DrawString(20, 20, Color.DarkBlue, "Sample string"); However, thats a pretty static way to write text to a screen, perfect for some things, but useless for a scoring ...Show All

  I am writing custom procedures to delete specific workflow instances from the tracking and/or persistence tables.

• SQL Server Login without Connect Permission somehow managed to become db_owner!?

  I tried asking the same question in other forum but couldn't get an answer. I used exactly the following SQL to create a login with sa account in SQL2k5 Management Studio: Create Login yy With Password='yy123Z' Without granting any permission, straight away, i log out sa and login as yy in management studio, yy somehow can access one of my ApplicationDatabase! So i check with the following SQL in my ApplicationDatabase: IS_MEMBER('db_owner') and it returns me 1, meaning yy is db_owner. I then quickly login as sa and double check on the security|login|yy|properties|User Mapping, NONE of the database is mapped! and i also ensure "Guest account enabled for: ApplicationDatabase" is unchecked.

• Visual C# sumary not visible in other projects

  Hi! I write a .dll file that contains a class, his methods has coments about sumary, parameters and return.

• Windows Forms how to increase row height of listview

  hi, In a listview can we change the height of row Actually i am having a listview having 2 column.. if the data in database is larger then the width specified then that data should appear on the another line... so can we manage row height dynamically... all helps will be appreciated... thnx in advance... The height of a listview item is entirely controlled by the listview's Font property. You can't have multiple lines in an item unless you use custom drawing with OwnerDraw/DrawItem. Using a font half the size of the listview's Font in DrawItem gives you enough space for two lines. You can't adjust the height for each individual item. Consider a commercial grid control if you can't li ...Show All
