• Visual Studio Tools for Office Big Issue with Action Pane disabling textboxes

  Hi there, I have an excel workbook which on startup sets a login user control onto the task pane.  The user enters their username and password to login and then has access to some data.  This works fine normally. However, if Excel is already open with another spreadsheet (can be non-vsto) often the textboxes on the user control in the taskpane are locked/disabled.  I currently have been working on a different normal excel spreadsheet and have found if I try and run the VSTO-Enabled workbook with it open, 100% of the time the textboxes in the taskpane are locked.  Usually they are 'dim' showing disabled, but sometimes they look normal but just won't accept input.  And sometimes they even look as though they ar ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development C# IE toolbar: how to use ShowBrowserBar to make the toolbar initially visible?

  Hi, As I'm programming in C#, I'm using the DeskBand object http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp , rather than the MSDN .net kbbar sample which is written in managed C++. I would like to make the toolbar visible after its installation. Do you know a way to do this I tried to use code like this: Object oShow = true; Object dummy = false; Object vGuid = t.GUID.ToString("B"); // or this.GetType().GUID... Explorer.ShowBrowserBar( ref vGuid, ref oShow, ref dummy); but the problem is: where do I put this code ! If I put it in the SetSite method, it is called when the toolbar is displayed, so too late! Ideally, I would have liked to make it visible in the Register method, but unfortunately, the Explorer is not ...Show All

• Visual Basic My applcations always use about 15 MB of the memory ????!!!!

  Hello, Every time I develop an application I face a real problem that my appliction is slow to open and it uses alot of megabytes from the memory. I tried an empty application and it used about 15 MB !!! Anarchy wrote: I think 15mb is LOT for a 'HelloWorld' app!!! I've been monitoring Memusage on a sytem with a 3rd party (& leaky) API, and wasn't happy to find a app doing essentially nothing, but chewing up 20mb of memory doing that! I think that too, but I recognized that when you minimize the application and restore it again the memory it uses will decrease alot . ...Show All

• SQL Server table field datatype

  What datatype should I use for a field in my sql server table that should be able to hold values such as: -1.092 0 2.9875645 25436.432567 etc. Thanks First, thanks for replying, and apparently for putting some real effort into your response as well! Anyway, to answer your question "Do you use SqlCommand with Parameters or build query by string concatenation ", neither. I created the table using the database designer embedded into C# .net (express). I set the precision and scale as (18, 4). Then, because I wanted some simple test data, I chose "show table data" by right clicking on the table and started punching in data. First few fields no problem, but when I tried to ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolTips on DataGridView Column/cells

  I have a DataGridView which is bind to a DataSet and the DataMember is set to a table. This all works fine. Now I want Tooltips for each cell of a column in the DataGridView. In design-mode, I've added all the necessary columns (right click DataGridView, edit columns...) and sets the property ToolTip to something. But this is only for the ColumnHeader of the column. I want a ToolTip for ach cell in a column. For example, my first column is an image to delete the row. If the user hovers the images, there must be a ToolTip saying 'Click here to delete the row' Anyone an idea to solve this I think it is solvable to add per row a datagridcellstyle, but it looks not that performant.

• SQL Server Two questions around Date

  Question 1: I am passing a datetime as a parameter to a Stored Procedure. The datetime may contain time, which I want to strip out - the date is the important part and it is critical that the time is 00:00. What is the most efficient way of stripping out the time so that it is 0 Question 2: I have a Year (small integer), Month (tiny integer), and Day (tiny integer). What is the most efficient way to use these to make a datetime In both questions, please assume that a universal standard must be used, since the database in question may be running outside of North America. Many thanks, Flavelle FOR NO 2. Try this declare @year int declare @month int declare @date int ...Show All
