• Visual Studio Tools for Office Debugging of VSTO document

  Hi, Can anyone help me regarding debugging of a VSTO document. I am trying to open a word document created using VSTO. When I double click the .doc file it gives me a error message with some 2-3 lines of info. It specifies a call to a method which existed earlier in the template. To make myself more clear, the particular function has been removed totally from the system, but it still is somehow associated with the document. If I create a new document with my changed template and try to open it, I do not get any error message, and everything works fine. I basically need some way of debugging the document. regards, Pankaj. Thanks all for the answers. It turns out the docs we were looking at in our dev location ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. CreateDevice fails...

  when using using D3DDEVTYPE_REF, though, its fine with using D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, likewise, when testing on other machines, HAL doesnt work, and REF does ! I'm confused as hell now, so for the sake of my sanity, can someone look at this and tell me where I'm going wrong:-    bool Init3D(HWND hWnd,int screenWidth,int screenHeight,D3DDEVTYPE deviceType) {  d3d = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);    if (!d3d)  {   MessageBox(0,"Cannot create an instance of an IDirect3D9 object.","Error",MB_OK);   return false;  }    D3DCAPS9 caps;  d3d->GetDeviceCaps(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, deviceType, &caps);  int vp = 0;  if( caps.DevCaps & D3DDEVCAPS_HWT ...Show All

• Visual Basic Changing Disabled Controls ForeColor

  Hi, Is there an "easy" way to change a control's ForeColor when it is diabled Yes, I know that this goes against the Windows standard. On our forms, we have buttons with a dark blue background and a white foreground (the design is dictated by marketing). When the buttons become disabled, the ForeColor goes to a dark color making the button unreadable. Thanks! Hi, So I was halfway through testing my new custom button class when I ran across the BackgroundImage property. It turns out that if I use a default button, set the background image to an image containing the backcolor I want, and change the ForeColor to something appropriate, everything works like I want to. ...Show All

• Visual Studio CR Licensing Requirements

  I am in the planning stages of moving a fairly large app from Access to ASP.NET 3 / C# / SQL Server 2000 and am investigating report generators. I am the sole developer of the app outside of testers and sporadic subcontractors. The new app will have both a Win forms solution and a web forms solution. Using the CR which came with VS 2005, I am wondering what the licensing requirements for my client would be. There will be up to 40 users or so on the Win forms app, and maybe 20 more or so on the web forms app, but I would think that only one or two web users would be connected at a given instant. On the Win forms side, the generation of reports and spreadsheets is pretty intense, so it is easy to imagine up to 20 or so generating reports ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Filling data islands on servers

  Hello guys, I'm new at VSTO but have worked some with non-vsto automation of office before and I must say VSTO seems to make it much simpler. I will first describe what I want to do and then my questions. I have a web application that will store a number of documents(both Word and Excel). The user will click on a download link for a document and my idea is that the document be populated by some meta data from the web application(project id, name, location etc) and then the user is prompted by a download. This is all that will be needed in data manipulation, I will not need to think about updating the database from the document. My intention is to set some [Cached()] strings that are updating bookmarks/Ranges, I prefer not to use data sets ...Show All

• Visual C# Intellisense filter?

  Is there anyway to filter intellisense based on events, properties methods In other words, lets say I know i'm looking for a property in an object, I'd like to view only properties and not everything through intellisense... is this possible The Whole Tomato Visual Assist add in supports this behavior, but to be honest it's designed for c++ so it's occasionally wonky with c#, mostly in asp stuff, but it's still wonky. Maybe one of the c# dedicated addins supports this too Cal- ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Update frames for 2D animations

  Hi all, In my previous program (C# + MDX), I use the Timer in System.Windows to update the frames by using suitable time interval. Now I would like to change to use XNA. But I don't know whether the Timer class will be supported in XBox360. Therefore, I would like to ask whether there are better ways to show 2D animations. I have read the 2D animation in "HELP". But I would like to know whether there are any other approach. All the animations update the frames in the 'Update" function and therefore all the 2D animations update the frames in the same time. If the fps varies, the timing for refreshing the frames also varies. That's not what I want. Thank you very much The Update method gives ...Show All

• SQL Server Damaged databases

  Hi I recently had a hard disk failure on which was running Win2003 SQL2000 SP4. This server is a sharepoint backend server, I repaired the disk to the point that it could be mirrored across to a new and then set about looking at the databases. There was a schedule in place to backup all 4 DBs daily, the backup process at no time after verifying the backup had any errors. All but one of the DBs reports this error when I attempt to run DBCC or similar query I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset etc. (error 823) I have restored back to the earliest DBs I have and I still get the same error. Any ideas on how I can recover as much as possible if not all of the DBs What is the best way to restore from a transaction log I have ...Show All
