• Visual Studio Tools for Office Running customizations programatically

  Hi all, I was wondering if anybody knows if it's possible to 'compile' a VSTO project (i.e. run the customizations and generate a flat, static word document file, which does not rely on code-behind, but on the server programatically, rather than when a client opens the document at their end. The reason for this is that I am programatically attaching the generated document to an email, which then gets passed to a email-fax gateway, which translates the word document into a fax and sends it over the PSTN. However, the gateway is not clever enough to open thedocument and run the customizatins...added to that, the custom typesd I use are not available to the service as it is 3rd party and sits outside of our solution... I know I could ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AJAX-like Data update in Loose XAML

  I am wondering if I can do this in loose XAML. I have a simple XAML file that implements a number of text displays, which are data bound to an XmlDataProvider. The XmlDataProvider points to an aspx file, that, when requested returnes some data in XML form. Both the XAML file and the aspx page are sitting on a website, say http://localhost/test The XAML File: <Page xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " > <Page.Resources> <XmlDataProvider x:Key="DataUpdates" Source="http://localhost/test/GetSomeData.aspx"/> </Page.Resources> <Canvas> <Rectangle Fill="Red&q ...Show All

• SQL Server Don't show point labels if value is zero

  Hey, I have a stacked column chart. It shows headcount per month. The headcount is split up into employees and contractors. I added point labels to the chart to display the exact headcount value per month. (=Sum(Fields!HeadCount.Value))  Now here is the problem: Some months don't have contractors so there is a 0 displayed at the bottom of the X-axis. I don't want this to happen! I already tried to change the expression of the point labels to this: =IIF(Sum(Fields!HeadCount.Value,"chart1_SeriesGroup1") > 0,Round(Sum(Fields!HeadCount.Value),1)," ") But this keeps displaying the 0. Even if the last parameter in the previous expression is 'nothing' it is still displayed. I hope it is possible to remove them ...   ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Referencing unregistered DLL

  Hi all, I've had kind help with part 1 of my problem somewhere else on the forum, but I think part 2 should be posed here. What I am trying to do is create a .dll-file (TestDLL) that contains a function (StartMe) initiating a form (frmMain) and then call that form from both an EXE-file and an Excel add-in. The DLL-file I created with VB 2005 could not be registered with Windows, so I could not call the function StartMe from within the EXE. As it turns out, I could simply include a reference to TestDLL in the EXE-file, telling it where to look for the function StartMe. Logical deduction would therefore tell me I should also include a reference to TestDLL in the VBA-code, telling that where to find StartMe. Is it possible to do ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Problems with RTF file in IE

  Hi, I've a problem (the context is a web application) with an RTF file which is dynamically generated on the server and then shown on the client side with IE 6. IE automatically opens word (MS Office 2000 on the client) but then complains about the file being locked by another user Further investigations showed that the file is locked by the WinWord.exe process itself on that P.C. Unfortunately this behavior does not happen always but just sometimes... and in some client PCs, not everyone The client with the problem has IE version 6.0.2800.1106 SP1 Any idea Thanks in advance!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mixed Columns with DataViewGrid

  I'm creating a table from unbound data, with 12 columns. Column 1 is int32, Column 2 is string, Column 3 is bool, Column 4 is string, Column 5 is bool, and the rest of the columns are string. I've got the table to create all the columns to accept text, but I'm having a problem changing columns 2 & 4 to CheckBoxes. (Column 1 can stay as string, the source is int32). Thanks, Bryan What I want is to have columns 2 & 4 contain checkboxes, not a true/false label. The plan is to change the state of the checkbox based upon external (serial) activity.

• Visual Studio Debugger 'corrupts' program flow

  I am new to C# and VS2005 - please excuse if this is covered elsewhere. I am developing a system modelling programme that uses a windows gui to build and manipulate a hierarchical class structure. Constructing instances of objects works fine but editing existing instances does not. Program flow based on main form - edit requested via main form function. - edit form constructed and shown from within overriden class method. Forms work fine until edit process is debugged. Setting breakpoints before form constructed and within edit form work. Setting breakpoint after form causes form to show as blank or not at all. Programme will jump to breakpoint without allowing interaction with form. Its as if the compiler has optimised form out of ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored proc in cache Permanently

  Does any body know a way to keep a stored proc in cache Permanently We have a very small query and some times the results are very quick and some times it takes up to 5 seconds, which is no big deal but our application and users demand right now results. (I just do what im told ha ha makes no sense to me.) Great Idea. what I have done in the mean time is tune it as much as possible and I have managed to cut the time in half to around 3 to 5 seconds for large counts.
