• .NET Development Possible to register a C# program to the R.O.T. for OLE automation?

  Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to "register" your own created c# program for OLE automation This would be the equivalent of accessing something in Excel via OLE. Like: Dim ExcelApp As Object ExcelApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application") Edit: and just to clarify, I understand how the GetActiveObject works (by looking up the object in the Running Object Table). I guess I need to know if it is possible to register a program with the Running Object Table. When a dll or executable does conatain IL code it is considered as assembly by .NET. You can register your public types with regasm to make them visible to COM. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t ...Show All

• .NET Development sorting data in tables

  as abv, how can i do it im using sql server express 2005. my situation.. i had retrieved data and sort them before i add them into a combobox. so the problem now is that the ID at the combobox doesnt tally with the ID at the database. the data in the table will continue to increase as time goes.. eg. combobox 0. apple 1.orange 2.pear table 0.orange 1.pear 2.apple i would like to sort the data before i can use the ID for another purpose. SelectedIndex is just the number of the selected item in the listbox. So instead of using selectedindex, use the SelectedItem and cast this to a DataRowView and extract the value, like so: DataSet ds = null; DataTable t = null; private void button2 ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic Textbox height?

  Hi, I often have a 'label' text box next to a 'data' textbox. If the data textbox expands how can I get the label to match it in height . I tried to set the height of one to the height of the other but got errors. Thanks, Dear,   suppose u have a lable and a textbox. In textbox u have a value(!Fieldname.value) In the label function box write the code like this ="hello" & space(len(!fieldname.value)) & "." So it will read the (!fieldname)length and add that length to ur lable with space function.I used a dot "." at last in the function because there should be something to hold the space. U can customise the code according to ur need. HTH from sufian. ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics: Test for a datatype

  Hello, I want to add special handling for a generic class I am writing. See below: class MyGeneric<T> { private T val; public MyGeneric(int src) { // I want to add customized handling such as this below: if (T is string) val = src.ToString() } } Is this possible with generics The code belos is not exactly what I want to do, but hopefully it gets the point across...

• SQL Server pfpagealloc error

  I am running Sql Server 2005 SP 2 CTP and keep getting an error which says Internal Error pfpagealloc.cpp file is corrupt. This did not happen with SP1 and is very speradic. I get the problem when using both excel and the visual studio browser to manipulate an anylsis services database. I can then try again and everything works. I also get the same problem sometimes with my overnight rebuild of the cube. Paul This is exactly the issue I was getting and I did try to log my problem with connect. Unfortunately they obviously needed log files to be able to trace the problem and as unfortunately the system was live I had to go back to sp1. Please let me know if you have any luck with a resolution I will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checkin of file fails because I do not save items I did not edit

  I have checked out a file for edit and made a one line change. Now I am trying to check the file back in. When I click the checkin button in the pending changes window, which only contains the single file I have checked out, a dialog comes up asking me: "Save changes to the following items " It then lists the project solution file and one of the projects in the dialog box (I already saved the file I want to check in). If I answer "no", the dialog goes away and my file remains checked out. The same thing happens when I cancel out (hit the x). I have made absolutely no changes to anything other than the source file I am trying to check in. So why does TFS seem intent on foisting some change in the solution file o ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there an easy way to generate a random color?

  I was trying to generate a random color to be passed into the Sprite Batch Draw function to put a tint on the sprite being drawn. mSpriteBatch.Draw(mBackground, new Rectangle (0, 0, 1024, 768), mRandomColor); However, there doesn't appear to be any way to create a new color from RGB values for the XNA frameworks Color object. I had thought that I would be able to do something similar to how you would create a new color when using the System.Drawing dll. Color mRandomColor= Color.FromArgb ( ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) , ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) , ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) ) ; Is there an easy way that I'm just overlooking to achieve that same effect Yep...
