• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Add-in

  Hello, I am trying to create an action pane for excel. Just installed VSTO 2005, but do not know where to start. Any suggestions Matt Hi Matt Just to avoid confusion: VSTO 2005 can't create add-ins for any application but Outlook. It creates document- / template-specific solutions for Word and Excel 2003, but not application-wide add-ins. This functionality is planned for VSTO v.3 together with Office 2007, currently available as a technical preview (see the posts at the top of this forum). Currently, it's not possible to create an application-wide actions pane for Excel or Word. For information on how to get started with action panes in a VSTO solution, see http://msdn2.microso ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Concurrent input devices in Vista

  Hi! Is it possible to have multiple input devices in vista, i.e. connect e.g. 2 or more mice and have them used at the same time with 2 different mouse pointers that can interact with different windows at the same time What I want to achive is something simmilar to this for X windows, http://multicursor-wm.sourceforge.net/ I know why we would need multiple independant cursors...they would go with multiple keyboards....the reason would be to have multiple users on same computers.

• Visual C++ strtol strangeness?

  I'm probably missing something very simple, perhaps I'm tired. Why is it that the line of code "DWORD DWordValue = 0xF988FA1F; " places the proper hex value into the DWordValue variable (4186503711, 0xF988FA1F), but this line of code "DWordValue = strtol("0xF988FA1F", NULL, 16);" places the unanticipated value (2147483647, 0x7FFFFFFF) Don't Long and DWORD size to 4 bytes What am I doing wrong I am testing this because I need to read hex strings in from a file, and then write them as REG_DWORDs to registry sub-key named values. (Any easy ways to do that would also be useful). So here's an intersting problem that has caused me much heartache today. I have a C# web ...Show All

• .NET Development XML Serialization Over TCP Sockets

  I have an appliction that serializes an object over a NetworkStream, and I want the receiving application to deserialize the object as effeciently as possible. Is it possible to directly deserialize an object using XML Serialization and NetworkStream's In VB, the receiving application has the following line of code: MessageObj = CType(Serializer.Deserialize(NetStream), Message) The application appears to hang on this line. However, when I close the application that originally serialized the object to the stream, the receiving application continues and successfully displays a value contained within the deserialized object.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to debug deserialization errors?

  I've got a service running under a Windows Service, using netTcp, under Beta 2/May. I'm trying to send a parameter that's defined like this: [ Serializable ] public class Container { private byte[] m_Data; public byte[] Data { get {...} set {...} } private Descriptor m_Descriptor; public Descriptor Descriptor { get {...} set {...} } } The get/set methods are simple accessors, and the Descriptor is a simple class, also marked as [Serializable], that has several string, int and Enum members. Usually my call, which sends an array of Containers to the service, works without a problem. Sometimes, though, I get this FaultException on the client: The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message ...Show All

• .NET Development Traversing the nodes in DOM tree

  Hi, I am using VC++ .NET to build the DOM tree. My problem is, I need to goto one or more nodes specified statically and chnage its background color. Can anybody suggest how I can do that in VC++ .NET. I was looking in the web and found about XPath but I dont think that solves my problem because I need to go to a particular node and not like all the child nodes. Thank you When you use XmlDocument you can: 1. Iterating through the list of XmlNodes returned by XmlNode.ChildNode property. 2. Use XmlNode.SelectSingleNode() which returns you node you need. When you found the node you can modify it using DOM API. ...Show All
