• Visual Studio Tools for Office Open WINWORD.EXE process

  Hi, I am performing Word 2003 automation using C#, VSTO 2005. I perform various operations like mailmerge, embedding document, inserting text from file, inserting tables.... on a base template file. Once the document is generated, i save it to some location, close it and re-open it. And before closing the same, i release all references wrdSelection = null; oWord = null; oWordDoc = null; objMailMerge = null; The problem is that when i re-open the document and in the task manager, two processes are open for WINWORD.EXE. I am puzzled as to from where the second WINWORD.EXE process gets loaded. Hi Amrish As you've been advised before, the correct place to post automation questions is the office.develope ...Show All

• .NET Development .net, .mdb, and the framework

  I am a consultant and I have commissioned work from a programmer I have hired, the software is written in .net for Windows and is not web based. The problem we are having is causing us to pull our hair out. The problem is this: On the developers WinXP machine with 03 visual studio the application he wrote works phenomenally well. On my machine Win2K no visual studio the application he wrote works phenomenally well. The unfortunate problem is that the CLIENT has installed the same application multiple times (XP SP1 and SP2) and is consistently getting the table display errors, either to do with the database access or something to do with the draw routine. He has installed .NET framework 1.1 from MSFT multiple times but its always a no go. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Locating Work Item Attributes In TFS Databases

  We've written several custom reports against the TFS databases. I've been using the brute force approach to determine where the work item attributes are stored in TfsWarehouse and TfsWorkItemTracking (i.e. manually reviewing the databases). Is there an easy way that I can accomplish this ... either a mapping document or search capability within Server Management Studio Thanks in advance. I would strongly advise against writing reports directly against the databases themselves, since the schema of the DB is subject to change. It is not a publicly supported interface of the TFS system. You could also potentially introduce perf problems in your system. That said, if you do want to read values of Workit ...Show All
