• Visual Studio Tools for Office the differents between Interop and Tools?

  Hi. wats the different between Microsoft.Office.Interop.word and Microsoft.Office.Tools.word which one is better Thanks Interop is the object model provided by the (Primary) Interop Assembly - the "translator" between an Office application's COM object model and .NET Framework managed code. What this provides can be used in a Shared Add-in, a Windows Form, a Console Application... Anything. Tools.Word are constructs provided by the VSTO tool that extend what Interop provides. It makes it easier to work with some aspects of the object model; for example: - you can write Bookmark.Text = "abc" and the bookmark will be around the text, instead of using Bookmark.Range.Text and needing to recrea ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quick question regarding accessibility of 360 hardware with XNA.

  Hello everybody, First of all, let me say that I think that the concept of XNA rocks, and I'm very happy that Microsoft actually released a cheap "SDK" for the 360. Secondly, has there been a list compiled of things that are off-limits to developers All I know of that is off-limits is the networking. From what I've read, I assume that the DVD drive is out and so are any system/other game files on the 360. But I can't believe that these are the only things off-limits... I mean, can we really access everything on the 360's GPU and CPU (note that I'm not talking about every register because it isn't assembly language) I think a complete list of everything that is inaccessible would really help those on the "fringe" o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio hangs when doing tree compare

  When trying to perform a tree compare within Source Control Explorer, Visual Studio hangs indefinitely. The folder I am trying to compare can even hold only one small text file and I can reproduce this. When alt+tabbing through windows to make Visual Studio active, the window description is described as "Compare", instead of something like "Start Page - Microsoft Visual Studio". Additional info: In source control explorer, I right click on a folder, select Compare, and you expect to see the Compare window to select options. Basically the modal compare window is just not visible... BUT if I hit enter on the keyboard, it goes through the compare operation and the Tree Difference tab is di ...Show All

• Windows Forms When/Where should I instantiate the control when placing on the designer

  I'd like to pre-populate some properties of a control when drag'ndrop from the toolbox onto the custom designer. When should I set these properties During the onselection, drag event, or somewhere else Thanks, Alan I'll try as you suggested and post my experience. Alan Martin Thorsen - MSFT wrote: This is going to be really tricky. The problem is that the TableLayoutPanelDesigner hooks OnControlAdded on the TableLayoutPanel. In this method, we set ColumnSpan/RowSpan to 1. ComponentAdded is called before OnControlAdded, so even if there was a way to do it in ComponentAdded, it would get overriden later. I am not sure I understand your scenario, but you could do something really hacky: ...Show All

• .NET Development Programmatic detection of Web site and virtual directory

  Hello, I have a utility component that is used in different applications, both Web and non-Web. To perform certain actions, components needs to detect its execution context - wether it runs as Web application or stand-alone process, and if it's the Web, then find out the site and virtual directory names. Is there inexpensive (in terms of performance) way to achieve this I know Web-specific properties can be obtained using specialized Web requests, but the component is very lightweight, I don't want to reference System.Web from it. And the environment may be non-Web. Does CLR provide some helper methods for this Thanks Vagif Ah ok, but then I think your best bet is to check if the ASP.NET intrinsic objects are created (not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Only have Office 2007 installed, can't install VSTO 2005 (1st ed.) templates

  Help! How can I get the templates from VSTO 1st ed. onto my machine running Office 2007 and VSTO 2d ed. VSTO 1 won't let me install it on my machine that has only Office 2007 on it. (I put Office 2007 on a testing machine because I still have to write and support tools for Office 2003, and did not want the versions of Office to conflict.) Tech info: I'm running Win XP SP2 and Visual Studio 2005 Pro, SP1. N.C. Gordon It's not clear what you mean by "VSTO 1st ed." and "VSTO 2d ed." Since you have VS 2005, I'm assuming you mean VSTO 2005 (Word & Excel document-level customizations plus Outlook Add-ins, all Office 2003) in the first case and VSTO 2005 SE (Add-ins for six Office app ...Show All

• Visual C++ Running External Programs

  I've created an application that runs an external program using the system () command. It works very well, except every time it runs the command prompt window is opened before running the external app. This is something that I do not want to appear. I've looked at the _exec and _spawn functions, but haven't had any luck at getting them to work properly. Does anyone know of a way to run an external program without the command prompt window appearing Thanks. I didn't have any success getting ShellExecute to work. I went to voidnish.com and went through your tutorial, "A newbie's elementary guide to spawning processes". I couldn't get even the simplest examples to work.
