• Visual Studio Tools for Office C#, Word VSTO and OnAction (oh my)

  I'm working on a VSTO Word solution that will run on a Tablet PC. Part of our requirements is that the Word document be protected (WdProtectionType.wdAllowOnlyFormFields) to prevent consumers of said document from making modifications to the form text; easy enough. However, when a document is protected, this also prevents a user from inking on the document, makes sense; but we want to allow the users to ink on a protected document ... so what I've done is as follows: On the "Annotation Pen" CommandBar, I've attached, via an Anonymous Method, to the click event for each of the CommandBarButtons logic that disables the form protection. This way, when the user choose to Ink on the "protected" form, they can. Then when the ...Show All

• Visual C# Build a 'long' number from two int's

  Hello, i'm wondering whether it is possible to "build" a long number from two int's. My aim is to make it platform independent, thus i can't use any shift operators. With them, i would do something like that: long number = (long)myInt | (((long)myInt2) << 32); Does anybody have an idea georg The "endian-ness" of the platform should be hidden by .Net, so as far as I know the simple solution using shifts should work... ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView - If a ROW is NOT selected Then ....?

  I am building a trainee tracking system. One one of the web forms I have placed a datagridview. This grid is populated from an Access database that contains the list of trainees. I have designed it, thus far, so that when a ROW is selected, the user can select the "Delete" button and the trainee will be deleted from the database. This part works. However, when I have only a cell selected, I get an error because no rows have been selected. I want to run a check to assure that a row has been selected before the code I have written will run. Here is an example of code similar to what I am using: Dim test = DataGrid.SelectedRows(0).Cells(0).Value Dim strConn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(String.Format("Provider= ...Show All

• Visual Basic please any one help me

  i want any code to compute the factorial of high numbers like 1000000 in aspeed way & didnt cause the break down of memory any bode cane help me mn_fci@hotmail.com mn_fci@yahoo.com You can refer to this post over Code Project: A class for operations with Large Integer Numbers ( http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/largenumber.asp ) where George Anescu presents some algorithms for operations with large integer numbers in a C++ class using the STL vector container where you can then use it in your VB.net code. I my self will vote for usnig strings for large numbers and if you can manage it I think there is a possibility to integrate java's big number class and perhaps even karbutstra's algorithm for efficient multiplication. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Ref class and friends

  I've been using CPPUNIT for unit testing unmanaged classes. In particular, I can write an unit test class to test a private function of a class. However, the unit test class must be defined as "friend" in the under test class. Since, Ref classes (managed ones) does not support friends, as such, how do I test its private functions hello Managed type cannot have any friend function/classes/interface, this is by-design. I would like to recommend you to find an open discussion group for CppUnit like cppunit forums to obtain more experimental suggestions. thanks rico ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using Resources

  Hi I have a solution with two projects : 1) Smartphone 2005 project (s_ui) 2) Pocket PC wm 5.0 project (p_ui) Project 2 (p_ui) has a usercontrol which is to be added in a form in s_ui. This Usercontrol (usrLogin) has to be multiple languages depending on the culture info on the device. It should detect if the device is using "Danish" da-DK or english. So I have made to resource files (resx) in the p_ui project, one named Resources.resx and the danish one called Resources.da-DK.resx. The two files contains the values "Test" - "Hello" and for the danish "Test" - "Hej". When the control is added in a s_ui project form, the resources does not change for my string. But if I make the two ...Show All

• Visual C++ Vista "for loop" problem

  In code that runs correctly in XP, I have a for loop. 1. for (int nIndex = 0; nIndex < 256; nIndex++) { 2. array[nIndex] = something; ... In Vista, at line 2, nIndex = -856238756375 or something like that, ie. uninitialized. Obviously, this causes a crash. Is this a known bug I installed Build 5728 yesterday and cannot reproduce the problem. I did have problems with crashes related to USB driver. In my VM, I removed the USB port and now it seems pretty stable. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development PictureBox displays white background

  Hi, I need to develop a menu form which contains icons and when user clicks those icons they will be directed to respected forms. Easiest way is to use PictureBox and set PictureBox.Image property to icon images. For this, I'm using .ico format of images since PictureBox can accept that. Then i handle the click event of those PictureBoxes. It works just fine except those PictureBoxes can't display transparent background, instead they display white background. No matter what color I chose for the BackColor property, they still produce white bground. It took me hours to think what is going wrong. I googled this problem and some say PictureBox can't display transparent bground. Kinda weird here, it is not just fail to go transparent, Pi ...Show All

• Community Chat Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian its actually also stated and recommended by Microsoft to NOT install beta/prebeta/RC products over your existing configuration - it's as simple as that I remember about 2 yea ...Show All

• SQL Server Including Sql Express DB with Winforms Application

  We are thinking of using a Sql Server Express database ( .mdb .mdf) as a data resource in a Windows Forms application that we will be distributing to clients. When the application is built, the mdb file is copied to the bin directory. In order for clients to access this database, will they need to have an instance of the SQLEXPRESS server installed on their computer Or since the .mdb .mdf file is being accessed from a .Net 2.0 application, there is no need to install a separate db component If I do have to separately install the db component on the client end, is this the way to go about it This Or is there a different/better way When you do distribute you can package up the SQL Engine (SQL ...Show All
