• Visual Studio Tools for Office Type vbproj not supported by Visual Studio 2005???

  I'm working on the Microsoft white paper at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/odc_vsto2003_ta/html/ExcelObj.asp "Understanding the Excel Object Model from a .NET Developer's Perspective" This paper was written for Visual Studio 2003, but I thought I should use the latest and greatest anyway, so I downloaded and opened the solution file in Visual Studio 2005 (RTM - not beta). I discovered that an automated conversion is triggered! The conversion DID NOT succeed due to this error: The project file C:\ .... \ExcelObjectModelVB.vbproj cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation. Type "vbproj" is not supported by Visual Studio 2005 (I'm sure I installed everything for Visual B ...Show All

• SQL Server Advantages of using nonclustered index after using clustered index on one table

  Hi everyone, When we create a clustered index firstly, and then is it advantageous to create another index which is nonclustered In my opinion, yes it is. Because, since we use clustered index first, our rows are sorted and so while using nonclustered index on this data file, finding adress of the record on this sorted data is really easier than finding adress of the record on unsorted data, is not it Thanks see more info on the other post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=522859&SiteID=1 creation of Clustered index must happen first because if NCIs are created first. The creation of a clustered index later will force the recreation of all the NCIs to force it to use CI's rather than RID as loca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Linklabels to open files

  Hi, I've got a uni project that needs doing, but I've ran into a bit of a hitch. Basically, I have a linklabel which is needed to start a program and open a file in said program. Opening a program is not a problem, but opening the file is being a pain because the filename will not recognize spaces, eg, it doesn't like the directory 'My Documents' because there is a space in the middle. Any ideas on how I can get around this Thanks, Bort Microsoft sometimes says to use quotations marks around files with blanks in them. Try: """D:\Documents and Settings\Bort\My Documents\address label.doc""" ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Install Problems

  Hi, I installed and used the first 64 bit beta without issue but the other day I got an email to download a second RC1 beta. Again I download the 64 bit version.
