• Visual Studio Express Editions Open excel files from a button click event

  i am having a huge problem finding a way to open an already created excel workbook from a button click event from my forms in visual studio express...does anyone know the coding to do this or how it can be done well if the file already exists, you can launch it like so: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( TheFileNameAndPathToExcelFile ) this will start a process, launching the specified file externally.

• Visual C# Why Modifier can't be set like C++

  I am using C++ Language and learning in C#. But I used to set Public modifier as class cls { -----param public : -----method and param } Why C# don't have this. I think all modifier should be able to set as this method like C++. And can set like Java too. Or Microsoft has some reason Why it can't is syntax. Why it was designed that way has already been pointed out: to clarify member modifiers and to increase quality (by avoiding accidental and un-obvious modifier changes because a declaration's class offset was changed resulting in a different modifier). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Filter on checkin event

  In a team project we use continuous integration for builds. Every time a file is checked in, a build starts. Now the problem is, we also check in documents and other files that don't affect the build in any way. Is is possible to subscribe to the CheckinEvent in a way that a build only starts when code files are checked in Checkout http://blogs.infosupport.com/marcelv/archive/2005/10/18/1635.aspx to see all available fields for CheckinEvent. For example if your code files are separated in specific folders, then you could filter folders in filter expression such as 'Artifacts/Artifact[starts-with(@ServerItem, "$/MyProject/MyFolder/")]' <> NULL OR 'Artifacts/Artifact[starts-with(@ServerItem, "$/MyProject/MyOther ...Show All
