• Visual Studio Tools for Office Why Office 2003 Pro and/or the "Boxed" version of Word?

  I have had various individuals in my company question why exactly a Word VSTO solution requires either Office 2003 Pro or the "boxed" version of Word. Currently, my only answer to this question is: "That's what Microsoft says is required, obviously there are some components in those versions that are relied upon by VSTO solutions". This is apparently not flying so well with those clients that already have Office 2003 Std. Ed. So, if one of you knowledge VSTO types would be kind enough to "enlighten" me with the REAL technical answer, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly, Will a "boxed" upgrade to Excel 2003 be enough for VSTO I want to use the developers kit for Access ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Working on WITracking Web Interface

  Hi,  I am currently working on a Work Item Tracking Website for TFS , something like the TeamPlain Web Access .  I created a solution which lists all work items , by a user selected query and project. I am also able to modify and create new work items from my web application.  The problem is that i had to hard code all the fields in order to create this. I was wondering if the new custom controls would save me the trouble of hard codding the form Element (Work Item Type Definition Schema) where the layout for the  WIT is defined . Or if not maybe somebody has some sugesitons on how to do it What i basically need is to dynamically build the layout and the input fields based on the wor ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Automating TOC

  Hi, I am generating the Table Of Contents(TOC) of a document by pointing the Range to the BookMark which i had placed manually on the start of page2. But if my TOC fills only half the page, then actual contents start from the very same page below the TOC. Is there any way to check if the TOC and actual contents are present in the same page and if so can we manually include a Page Break Could it be Something like this If so is there a syntax to get the page number of the selection If( PageNumberOf(TOC) == PageNumberOf(Actual Document Contents)) { Insert Manual Page Break; } Or is there any other way to handle this -Amrish ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista building a generic state machine host: handling events

  Hi, I'm currently building a host (in a winservice with WCF interface) that will service any number of workflows. Part of my WCF interface is exposing to clients a general way to fire events, get states, etc. When state machine workflows are built, you bind the events that trigger state changes to a event that will live on a ExternalDataExchangeService. My question: since, at design time, in a state machine workflow you must bind the event to an interface, and that my host is generic, in a runtime sense, how do i build the host generically...to handle & fire any event that needs to be triggered for any workflow that our customer creates My only idea is to abstract out the events into a separate type (and assembly), and load this assem ...Show All

• Visual C++ Return value incorrect

  Hi, I've got a very weird thing in my program, const bool getRunning() const { Lock(); bool t = m_bRunning; Unlock(); return t;} Where m_bRunning == true; it returns false. ( lock and unlock handles the thread safety ) after the Unlock(), t contains true. but the return value is always false. even weirder, with code optimalisation on, the function isnt even reachable. it just skips it. //DEBUG 0041B5FE call Gameye::CApplicationInfo::getRunning (411677h) 0041B603 movzx ecx,al 0041B606 cmp ecx,1 ECX contains 205 after this.

• SQL Server Error updating data in table that uses a trigger?

  Hello. I am new to SQL Server Management Studio 2005 and am using it to connect to a database on another machine running SQL Server 2000. Everything seems to work well, except when I try to edit table data on a particular table that has an update trigger associated with it. I am receiving the error: ------- The data in row 1 was not committed. Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataTools. Error Message: The row value(s) updated or deleted either do not make the row unique or they alter multiple rows(5 rows). Correct the errors and retry or press ESC to chancel the changes. -------- I want it to update those the 5 rows in the other tables...that's the whole point of having the trigger!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. bool constants

  When adding such a line in a pixel shader: bool bArray[16] : register(b0) ; I'm getting this error msg: D3DX: Internal error: failed to find pool name 'b0'. If I remove the register(b0) part, I'm not getting the error msg and the asm shows that the regs are correctly placed at b0. For now, I only have a single case where I need bool regs. But I will probably need the "register(b0)" part in the future. Can I be doing something wrong somewhere I'm using DX 9.0 feb 2006 thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Model: Drill on calculated field in Report Builder

  Hi, I've created dsv that contain all fields from table database. in the smdl I've remove some fileds due to security. All fields in the smdl do not contain drill. Issue: When I created calculated field in the report builder the field has a link. When I clicked the drill I saw all the record data including field that not in the smdl. Questions: 1) Can I remove the link from the calculated fields 2) Can I prevent from users drill to fields that not in the smdl Thanks, Assaf 1) You cannot remove the Clickthrough links using Report Builder. You can manually remove them by editing the report in Visual Studio. However, you may not be able to load the report back into Report Builder after m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Converting from Microsoft Access

  Some time ago i created a database using access 2k3 and until now i have started to use VB Express i never thought of a stand alone package so my Question is: Is it possible to import all the forms and talbe etc from my access database into VB Express or do i have to start over with the forms and create a new database and possibly import the data into that. Any help in the subject will come in handy as i am new to all this. Thanks in advance.
