• Visual C++ Adding reference to unmanaged code wrapper and resolving dependent DLLs.

  Hi, I'm having a problem with a Web Service that I'm creating. My solution contains three projects. One is an unmanaged C++ code library, the second is a managed C++ wrapper for this library exposing the code I need to consume in a web service, and the third is the web service itself. I can compile and build the unmanaged library and the managed wrapper, and test this library from a console application. However, when I try to add a reference to this managed wrapper to my web service I get this error message: Error 1 The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) Now I know that my code library has some dependencies on other DLLs, but so far I've not been able to work out how to build the managed ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Resize Notification Missing ?- Repost

  This is a repost of something I apparently did not explain well enough. Given a Grid with 2 columns and a Splitter in between, if I bind a TextBox to the 2 ColumnDefinitions Width properties, then as you move the Splitter, the text boxes update correctly to reflect the change. But if I resize the Window containing the Grid, the TextBoxes do not update. The Grid columns DO UPDATE their physical size but I get no notification of this when the Window size changes. Since the 2 Grid columns are my 2 client areas of interest I feel that I should get this notification. There are workarounds of course but they include adding more elements and per MS performance guidlines - keep your element count as low as possible. Our app can contain ma ...Show All

• SQL Server transaction context in use by another session error in c# sp from trigger

  I have a c# stored procedure that is being called from a trigger. When I execute it from management studio, it works just fine. But, when I update a record in the table that has the trigger that calls the sp, I get the error "transaction context in use by another session error". I've tried a few of the "fixes" that I found through searching, but so far nothing seems to work. What I've tried so far is... Removing the transaction from my code making sure my code is only using 1 connection setting XACT_ABORT ON Any other ideas Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Ole DB Destination - Fast Load - Permissions

  All, If I use an OLE DB Destination with Fast Load, and enable check constraints, I would expect to see this work as BCP would in this scenario on 2005. However, instead, I get the error ALTER TABLE permissions required. I understand that when using BCP, if you disable check constraints and triggers, then you need alter permissions. But, when you explicitly enable these, then you do not need this permission. I would expect the same behaviour in SSIS, but I am not seeing it. Fast Load seems to always require ALTER TABLE permissions. Can anyone confirm/deny this Thanks, dcb99 I have a table where I have a simple constraint of having the value of a column less than a certain value. I can use da ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ActivityToolboxItem and event handlers

  Hi I have a number of custom activities that inherit from a common base class. This base class has no child activities, while the derived activities do. Furthermore, I generate the child activities using ActivityToolboxItem, this allows the users of my activity library to "fill in the blanks" at design time by adding additional activities to some of the branches. An example custom activity is: DerivedActivity : BaseActivity : SequenceActivity ListenActivity UserCompletionActivity : HEEA RequiresApprovalCheckActivity : IfElseActivity ManagerApprovalActivity : HEEA SkipActivity : HEEA This general pattern is repeated in all my ActivityToolboxItem classes, varying only the actual type of DerivedActivity. This appro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can I clear the undo list w/o saving Presentation in PowerPoint

  Hi, all In our PowerPoint plugin, we do some un-undoable operations, and don't want user to undo our operations. So, I want to clear the undo list. I can't find any methods in msppt9.tlh which can clear the undo list. I searched the web, the only way I find is to save the ActivePresentation. But, in our application, we allow user to continue working w/o saving the ppt file. So, my question is, is it possible to clear the undo list w/o saving ppt files,and how Thanks! I'm sorry, but this forum does not support questions about the Powerpont object model or addins that work with Powerpoint. Currently the VSTO technology only works with Word, Excel and Outlook.
