• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums File Stream issues

  I am trying to write a script triggered from an Outlook email to parse the email (as a text file) and then update an excel spreadsheet with specific data extracted from the email. The email is a form email delineated by a "/" for field breaks and "//" for end of line. However, when I create a text stream to read in the data, the returned string does not include these delineations. Here is a copy of the code I am currently using to open and read the file. I don't want to open the entire email as a new workbook, so I can't use the workbook function.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0

  Hi, I created a simple add-in for Windows Live Messenger. All it does is open a connection to a local SQL server and retrieve some information. However, as soon as it tries to open a connection, I get the following error: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed I went to .NET Framework 2.0 configuration --> Runtime Security Policy --> Increase Assembly Trust and set the assembly's trust level to "Full Trust".

• Visual C# Multiple Panels on a form

  I have a form that I need to place multiple panels on. These panels will overlap each other and only one is visible at a time. I would like a way to easily switch between these panels in the designer. I have tried the following: TabControl: I wrote code to hide the tabs but it behaves odd on resize with the browser control. I also don't want the border around the panels. PanelManager: http://www.dotnetrix.co.uk/custom.html This one seemed the most promising but it has some bugs in VS2005 (and .NET 2.0) that make using the control in designer impossible. I will continue to tweak the above to see if I can make one work for me but, are there any other possible ways to do this. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Forcing GraphicsDevice creation before Game.Run

  In order to incorporate Xna into an existing engine without a lot of ugly hacks, I need to force the GraphicsDevice to be initialised before the program loop starts (Game.Run). Can this be done Assuming this isn't possible (as seems likely), I'd need to ditch Game and handle device creation myself. This looks straight forward enough, except that it requires a handle to a window. This is no problem in windows, but what about on the xbox 360 Is there some sort of factory available that returns a GameWindow implementation for the platform it's running on Has anyone manually created a graphicsdevice on the 360 I am definitely all for creating my own GraphicsDevice instead of the hack mentioned above. But wh ...Show All

  Hi, I'm just trying to use the Maintenance Wizard for the first time, but the SQL Server Management Studio shows me an error message about 'Agent XPs' is not running on my server; and I should activate it through 'sp_configure' I've tried to understand 'sp_configure' by searching it on MS TechNet, etc. But of course, because I'm not a SQL Server expert user; I don't even know how to use 'sp_configure' at all....

  Hi, I’m new to this space so forgive me if my questions don’t make a lot of sense.

  I have installed Visual Studio with my SQL server.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Displaying certain users with the contactscontrol?

  Is it possible to instead of pulling the entire contact list just to pull certain contacts from the contactscontrol E.g. I know this user has bla@hotmail.com in his contact list so by feeding the contactscontrol with a string/array/xml with this address in would I be able to display all the users contacts except bla@hotmail.com Hope it makes sense since it would be very usefull. /dennis :0) Ah, ok. I see what you're after now. I'll add that scenario to our wish list. There's a couple of interesting ways to approach it, but all of them require some additional work in the contacts control first.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks Well, it gets out of the infinite loop but it doesnt allow me to check anything.  I can probably use it, still want it to uncheck rW1 if rC1 is checked. Oh, whats the differ ...Show All
