• .NET Development XML export to Word

  I am exporting XML to a word document. The end result is a Word form with a few text fields and check boxes. I am populating the fields and checkboxes before they are dumped to the Word document. the end user can then only edit those fields. Everything was working well with the checkboxes, however now I cannot get the checkboxes to be selected when I need them to be. I am new at this so I have been exporting Word as XML and examing that. I need some input on how to select and unselect the checkboxes. please ask this question in one of the following forums: If you are doing this by VBA script : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=74&Sit ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing components created during runtime

  I am creating multiple labels during runtime and giving them specific names. How do I use these names to access the values related to each label. For instance, I create 20 labels entitled Player##, where ## is a number from 00 through 99. I then want to change the Visible or Enabled properties of these labels that have names, preferably by doing something along the lines of ("Player"+playernum).Visible=true. Is there anyway to do this simply I can use arrays and the like, but would rather not have to search through an array every time I want to access this component since it has a name assigned to it. Hi You can maintain a collection of the Labels that you create and add, say List<Label ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Vertical Text Alignment in Textblock

  Is there a way to align text vertically (i.e. centered) inside a textblock It seems that it defaults to aligning to the top, and I can't seem to find a way to change it. Thanks in advance! Following up on this issue (I did make the transition to Buttons), I have been trying to allow them to size themselves to fill the space. Given my constraints of: The # of rows & cols are not known until runtime, The buttons must placed in the grid at the initialization of the program, and The grid may need to be re-generated multiple times during runtime, I have found it very difficult to do so. My problem is that the grid is not actually sized to the parent object (it appears) until it is ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Operating on Forms from within a workflow

  I am creating a windows application which hosts a sequnetial workflow. I want an activity of workflow to populate a list view on the calling form and then continue the workflow sequentially. I want to perform this operation simultaneously with the workflow execution. And I need to continue the execution of workflow after populating the list view.I am using AutoResetEvent objects WaitOne() method to get the notification that workflow is completed. The issue is without flagging the workflow completion the main thread cannot process the requisite operation. Can any one suggest a way to handle this issue This will be a great help. I would recommend using the CallExternalMethodActivity which is used to perform g ...Show All

• Visual C++ Memory window cannot be scrolled much

  When displaying memory, clicking on the scroll bar only allows you to move a limited amount in either direction. Beyond this, in the higher address direction, it shows blank, and will not move past the lower address limit. I can find no documentation on the proper operation of the memory windows, beyond the most rudimentary descriptions. For structures larger than a few Kb, it is necessary to be able to scroll from the base address, but the memory windows apparently don't let you do this. They worked as expected in VS6.

• Visual Studio Warning: (dll) does not contain any types that can be unregistered for COM Interop

  I am getting a warning in a large project that I cannot clear. "(dll) does not contain any types that can be unregistered for COM Interop" and also "(dll) does not contain any types that can be registered for COM Interop". I have searched the Microsoft website and the web without finding anything useful. I would like to know whether or not it is important and, regardless of whether it is, how to clear it or at least suppress it. I can't even suppress it because there does not appear to be a warning number. Rick Harrison This same "warning" (which sounds like a fatal error, if it's true) is also happening for me (VS 2005 on Win XP Pro) and has also been reported on the web at the following po ...Show All

• SQL Server Blank password works for user account - all other passwords don't!

  Hi Group (and thanks for any help given): I am new to SQL 2005 and have an issue with passwords. I set the password on a user account and tried to access my program (Time Matters.) I received an error message that the application was unable to connect to the system database. When I set the password to blank (no password), the application was able to connect to the SQL db and everything worked just fine. I've tried several different passwords. Any password besides blank does not work. Blank always does. Obviously I don't want to use a blank password. But where in SQL Server is the setting or could a copy of the original password be "stuck" Thanks for your help. Jeff If "Must Chan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What are all these counters?

  Is there a resource anywhere that defines exactly what any of the counters available in VSTS 2005 are Something that would help me understand for example, the difference between Avg. Response Time (LoadTest:Request) and Avg. Page Time (LoadTest:Page) In other words, what kind of response does the first counter refer to if not a page load response Perhaps it's an average of the response times of every page, gif, style sheet and tab slice... But I'm speculating. Is it Some others, Avg. Test Time (LoadTest:Test), Tests Running (LoadTest:Scenario), Failed Tests (LoadTest:Test), and Tests/Sec (LoadTest:Test) What exactly is meant by "test" here A webtest or coded test An ordered test A load test One user/iteration of any ...Show All

• SQL Server searching problem in Myanmar Text Database

  Hi! I found a problem while retrieving/searching/filtering Myanmar Text with a Select Statement, In a Myanmar Text table there in a column called HeadWords. It's Sample Data HWID,HeadWords 1,| | 2,| | 3,| | 4,| | 5,| | I want to make the following search: SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE HeadWords LIKE '%| |%' this should give me all entries that have a "| |" *ANY* place in the HeadWords column. Right However, it gives me unproper results. you may see last two records have 2 characters between pipe(|). HWID,HeadWords 1,| | 3,| | 5,| | Since the wildcard character % means no or all characters it should work. And I've tried pipe, comma, forward slash and back slash.

• Visual Basic Need To Create Search Bar For Database

  Greetings, I am completely and utterly amazed at the lack of information on how to create or employ a search bar. This is the one simple attribute that has made the internet what it is today. Nearly every program I have ever used has a search bar which, when data is entered into the textbox and the search button is clicked, it returns matching criteria. However, I have searched (Imagine That) Google, Yahoo,LearnVisualStudio.net, MSDN, and Help for three days on how to create such a simple procedure and have found nothing. What I need to do: I am creating a database where I have all my Employees Information which includes columns: [Employee Number], [Emloyee First Name], [Employee Last Name], etc....
