• SQL Server Connect to SQL Server 2005 Problem

  Hi all, I have created an Outlook Add-in using VS2005, which basically populates a custom WinForm with some data retrived from the backend SQL Server 2005 database. The SQL Server is installed on the same computer as the development environment (VS 2005). The add-in code compiles OK and I have created a setup package for this app, which installs the required files with no problem. The package has been tested working on the development machine. But as soon as I install it on another computer (installation was no problem, and outlook launched the add-in as expected) and click on the add-in button I made on the menu bar, the add-in hangs up. I have checked the tables on the sql server and found that no operations was performed whatsoever. Sus ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "The project cannot be created" error

  I’ve installed the software in the following order: MS .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 MS Office 2003 Professional SP 2 (before I had 2002 but uninstalled it) MS VS 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) (before I had VS 2003) MS VSTO 2005 OS is Windows XP SP2. When I try to create any of the Office projects (in VS) I get the following error “The project cannot be created”. I’ve tried to reinstall all the components and run vstor.exe. But still get the same error. The interesting thing is that I can open and run a VSTO project which has been crated on another box. Yaroslav Hi Yaroslav, You posted that you can open VSTO projects created in a different machine... when yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Data CTP 5 Refresh

  Team Data CTP 5 Refresh This patch significantly improves the performance of Team Data CTP5 and I’d encourage everyone to get it. Find out all the details here: https://blogs.msdn.com/camerons/archive/2006/09/15/756593.aspx One cause I have seen that causes this is that your VS configuration still points to SQL Express which is running as NetworkService. Please make sure that the SQL Server service account was changed using SQL Configuration Manager, not using Windows Service Manager and that the service was restarted after making the change. -GertD ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging Query Messages From ExecuteSQL Task

  The ExecuteSQL task makes it easy to capture the resultset of a query or stored proc in a variable. But what about the messages that would normally appear in the Messages tab when running queries in Management Studio or Query Analyzer There must be a way to display and log rowcounts and other messages that a query normally produces.   Various package/task logging configrations haven't helped. I've read discussions about logging rowcounts in data flow tasks, but what about capturing messages in ExecuteSQL and other control flow tasks that run T-SQL   I only have enough time to dabble in this technology so I may be missing something obvious or approaching this incorrectly. Any sug ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bug? Resizing Game Window causes it not to Bring to Front

  Is anyone else experiencing a problem where whenever the window state changes (i.e. minimizes/maximizes/resize) the game window is sent to the back of the window ordering The easiest way to test this is to minimize the game window then try to restore it. On my system, the window does not come back to the front when restoring. Is there a workaround for this at all It becomes annoying when I am trying to debug something and I minimize it. Then it never comes back to the front again. I have to minimize all windows to see it. Thanks for any help. Ted This is a known bug and it should be taken care of by the final release of XNA Studio.  See this thread .   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Efficient line walking

  Hi, I need to implement efficient "line-walking" within word. Walking efficiently by paragraphs took a while to get right, but I was able to: after a few trials, I found out that the best way was to use Range.Next() with args (wdParagraph, 1), and use the returned range. Using the story range's paragraphs was really slow, where it seems every direct item access involved completely walking the range for every call. But Range.Next(wdParagraph) fixed. it. But no, for actual "visual" lines, this doesn't work. I'm using Range.Goto(wdGoToLine, wdGotoRelative, 1), but it's still very slow. Range.Next() ain't usable for lines. Any suggestions for a fast way to walk all lines in a document BTW, the goal is the underlying layer ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using MXDW

  I would like to use MXDW to create XPS documents from any application. But I would like to automate the creation by automating the printing process. But when I try to do this it always comes up with the "save as" dialog box. I had the same problem using the MODI driver as well. Does anyone know how to get rid of that Any samples will be helpful. Hej Charlee, _______ > Why not writing your own XPSDrv filter driver connected to NULL port, and in your filter(Stream-In and Stream-out) you take over the job and write it into where ever you want to be. _______ do you have written such a filter on your own already and have tried out if that will work though I guess myself ...Show All

• Visual C# PropertyInfo SetValue doesn't work for custom objects

  I'm having problems setting a property through reflection when the type of the property isn't the same as the type of the object I'm setting it to, even though there is a conversion overload. To illustrate the problem, check out this sample code. using System; namespace TestCustomTypePropertySetValue { public class CustomThing { public CustomThing(string input) { m_input = input; } public string Input { get { return m_input; } } private string m_input; public override string ToString() { return this.Input; } public static implicit operator CustomThing(string input) { return new CustomThing(input); } public static implicit operator string(CustomThing thing) { return thing.ToSt ...Show All

• Windows Forms printpreviewcontrol

  The people at microsoft are strange aren't they I have just started work on something where I'm using the printpreviewcontrol for the first time and I was looking for the method that would cause the control to refresh it's contents, after the page settings of the document had been changed. Foolishly I had some expectation that it might be called refresh but no; apparently on this control you have to call invalidatePreview. Hey thanks guys I love spending all my time wading through the mire of your documentation just to find out something like this. You're not talking to MSFT on this forum.

• Gadgets Localization of <title> string

  Hi, I am trying to localize all the string for the preferences dialogue - However, while using ids and .document.getElementById("myID").innerHTML = LOCAL_SETTINGS_TEXT_STRING1 works for all the html within the <body> tag, for some reason, it does not work for the head <title> innerHTML. Any advice on how to change this using JS Many thanks in advance Thanks - I realised I was doing something daft - the title actually gets picked up from the Manifest, which is easily localisable.

• .NET Development DataView RowFilter not filtering on percent sign

  I have a DataView that contains two rows, and contains only one column called Name. The data is shown below: 1% Potassium Sulfate Solution 10% Hydrogen Peroxide We have implemented a search functionality on the DataView by using the RowFilter property. But I also need to be able to filter by the percent sign, which is a special character in the RowFilter property. I want to be able to search '*1%*' on the Name column so that only the 1st row is returned. But I am having problems properly escaping the % sign. I have tried RowFilter = "Name LIKE '*1%*'" but this returns both rows RowFilter = "Name LIKE '*1\%*'" but this throws a syntax error of "unrecognized escape sequence" RowFilter = " ...Show All
