• Visual Studio Tools for Office Generating Excel workbook using VC++

  I understand that VC++ is not supported in VSTO, but I would appreciate any help or pointers on this issue. I have a Windows Forms application written in VC++ (VC++ 2005 Express Edition). I would like to create an Excel workbook from the application and write out some tabular data. I am wondering what would be some good options for doing this. Thanks , Kumar Hi Kumar As you say, VSTO has nothing to do with VC++. Please post to the Office.developer.automation newsgroup, where you're more likely to find people doing similar things. I also recommend doing a Google groups search (or use a similar search engine) on the group. You should also search the msdn site, as there are Knowledge Ba ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Where do I start?

  I am 100% new to this and would like any information as to where I can learn the basics to get going with game programming. I am basically a new born trying to learn how to crawl. Please Help. Thank you. I just got wind of some new developments with regard to game development. Microsoft just announced that there will be an XNA Game Studio Express for game development that allows games to be build for both Windows and XBox 360, in an Express form. This will be C# based according to the accounts I have read. There are evidently some details to be worked out with regard to deployment to the XBox 360, but not to Windows. This may be cleared up when versions become available for download at the end of ...Show All

• Windows Forms StatusStrip - SizingGrip problem

  Hi I've added a StatusStrip control to a form. Within this I added a ToolStripProgressBar , and set it's Alignment to "Right". Now I have the progress bar next to the SizingGrip. If I now set "SizingGrip = False", the sizing grip is removed, but there still is an empty area left. I now have an ugly space between the progress bar and form border. How do I get rid of this area Kind Regards I also tried it on a PC with Windows Themes enabled. That looks fine also, the progress bar is flush to the window border. No idea why you'd have a problem. Note however that I used the RightToLeft property of the StatusStrip to get the progress bar to display on the right-hand side. Setting th ...Show All

• SQL Server No exception message from CLR stored procedure

  Hello everybody, I've encountered a strange thing using a CLR Stored procedure: The procedure throws an exception with no message inside... value = {" "} Basically the procedure has a string as argument which contains a SQL statement that changes according to the users selections... The results of the query are saved into a dataset for further processing. Those resultsets can sometimes be very big (ex: 15000 records...). (For the record the procedure works fine for smaller datasets ex 6000 records and running the same query on the application server returns the expected resultset ) By Debugging the procedure I could determine that the failing point was when the dataset is filled...

• Windows Forms DataGridView set index of Row Selector

  Hi All, In VS2005 VB or C# I can select rows in a DataGridView, so the row is "Highlighted": DataGridView1.Rows(1).Selected = True But the RowSelector (ie the little black arrow in the Left Margin) does NOT change to the selected row.  I'm having extreme difficulty changing the rowselector's index, I've tried lots of things & based on a post Regis Brid made I thought this method might be the trick... DataGridView1.Rows(1).HeaderCell.Selected = True But no luck, it always returns the error "Property Selected of a DataGridViewHeaderCell cell cannot be set." How do I go about programatically making the RowSelector the same as the selected row Please help, thanks in advance ...Show All

• Community Chat A reports manager

  Hi, Does anyone know of a program that gives you the ability to organize and format multiple Word or Excel documents, and combine them together to form one document I work at a small business and I always need to compile reports that are made up of multiple documents, usually word and excel files, and it's always a time consuming process to combine all those documents.

• Windows Forms datagrid troubles with stored procedure (vs 2003)

  I have the following code: Dim daGrid1 As New SqlDataAdapter(Me.SqlCommand1) (a stored proc) Dim dsGrid1 As New DataSet dsGrid1.Clear() daGrid1.Fill(dsGrid1, "top") DataGrid1.DataSource = dsGrid1.Tables("top").DefaultView I set the command to a stored proce and fill a dataset, then set the datagrid1 to the dataset table. I can then see the data grid on the form filled out. I need to change the column headings, hide some columns, then click on a row, and get the hidden field and pass it on to another form. I thought I would need a table style for that. But when I try to add one, I get: "The data grid table styles collection already contains a table style with the same mapping name." ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to crash a Model in the XNA?

  How to crash a Model in the XNA like this video : http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/e/2/be234683-5686-476d-a1c2-8ad7abe5d8a4/xna_demo_crash.zip That video does not relate to the XNA Framework, or XNA GSE products. From what I remember of the time that video was released it was supposed to represent all the components that go into a game, physics, art, sound, gameplay etc. The XNA initiative (which these products are the beginning of) is supposed to make all that easier. Hopefully someone from MS will come along and explain exactly how that video relates to XNA. Could you do that with XNA Framework Probably, with a good artist, sound guy, programmer and physics engine... but its will be to ...Show All

• SQL Server Issues Filtering a chart

  I am trying to filter a series in a chart by specifying a paramter. I am showing a chart where the data returned from the SP has many employees, but I only want the employee specified in the parameter. However, when I enter the following: =Parameters!employee_id.Value into the filters tab for the employee series, the chart is blank and I know for sure that there is data for the employee I have specified in the parameter because when I remove the filter, that employee shows up in the legend along with 20 others. This should be simple and it's driving me nuts! Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong Turns out the SSRS "like" operator does not ignore spaces like SQL does.  I had spaces coming back at the end of each em ...Show All

• Visual C# EventLogEntry.InstanceID

  hello, i'm a freshman on C#... things came up on reading the column value, EVENT of "event viewer" on Windows systems. i got the int64 enum by EventLogEntry.InstanceID but seems it's value in 65535 on tool of "event viewer". how can i get it just like what i see on event viewer. thanks a lot Richard Ahh I see where you're getting at I believe. EventID is the actual value that you want but it is deprecated. However EventID is actually InstanceID with the top 2 bits masked off. Therefore if you take the InstanceID and mask off the top 2 bits you'll get the EventID as shown in EV. entry.EventID == entry.InstanceID & 0x3FFFFFFF Michael Taylor - 7/26/06 ...Show All
