• Visual Studio Express Editions template link errors

  I've been looking for a solution for this all day now, and it's driving me crazy. I have a C++ couple of C++ template classes that I'm using in a test executable for a DLL I built. The templates are used in the DLL as well, but in all cases that I use it, to avoid errors, I have all the template code in the header, so when it's included all the code is available for the compiler to do the type resolutions. When I build the DLL, it compiles and links just fine. However, when I build the executable, I get unresolved token and unresolved external symbol errors for the template, but only for the one that I use in the executable, not for the ones used in the DLL. I have tried to change the type temporarily to int and have copied and p ...Show All

• SQL Server Using managedDTS in a CLR

  Hello, Has anyone been able to create an assembly that references Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS in a CLR When I try to do a CREATE Assembly [Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS] it sets off a chain of dependencies a mile long, (system.windows.forms, system.drawing, accessibility, system.runtime.serialization.formatters.soap, microsoft.sqlserver.msxml6_interop and the list goes on). I have tried creating assemblies for these manually, but they keep referencing more. I have seen a number of posts that talk about using the manageddts in a CLR, but none have mentioned this issue. When I did manage to get all of the assembies created then I got a failure in my CLR procedure because some of the assembly signitures don't match what's in the GAC, e ...Show All

• 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

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Need direction on using code instead of VLOOKUP

  Hi, all. I've been looking through the forum, and there's a lot of great info here. I'm learning VBA, but I'm running out of time on a project that I'm working on, and would like help if anyone can offer it. I use a spreadsheet that contains a lot of VLOOKUP functions as well is the Excel IF function. Currently I paste two reports into two separate blank worksheet tabs, and the first worksheet uses the VLOOKUP to import the data needed. It's cumbersome and I run into errors once in a while because some yahoo has added a column to one of the reports. I would like to be able to add a macro that searches for a column by header name on a worksheet, then copies the data from that column into a specifed column on another worksheet. Can anyone gi ...Show All

• SQL Server Extended Properties

  I am having some wierd behavior that I can't seem to correct regarding exteneded properties. Via a T-SQL statement, I have added several exteneded properties to a table, for example: exec sp_addextendedproperty N'AP121ID', @value = 'AP121 Primary Key', @level0type = N'Schema', @level0name = dbo, @level1type = N'Table', @level1name=ap121, @level2type = N'Column', @level2name=AP121ID; GO This statement runs successfully. I can even query the sys.extended_properties table and see the entries. However, if i look at the properties of teh table to which I added the exteneded properties, they are not listed. Nor does it allow me to add one via that properties page. Any ideas Thanks... Scott Looks like you are adding extended propertie ...Show All
