• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO form differences with VB.NET 2005

  Hi guys, I'm struggling to understand why the forms act so differently in the VSTO 2005 add in for Visual Studio 2005... Normally in VB.NET i might have a form, which when it loads searches for users, if there isn't one it loads another form over the top, and automatically the other form is paused in effect, until the other form(s) are delt with. How come its so different in the fact that this just doesn't happen anymore can i make it the same as i want it   As John pointed out, it would help us if you'd provide more information.  From what you say, it seems that you want to display a form as a modal   (one that would keep mantain the focus).  In Windows Forms you can use the Form ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System using MSSCCI provider for Visual studio 6.0

  Dear Folks, I had installed Visual studio 6.0 and MSSCCI provider in my box. how can i put the VS 6.0 projects into TFS . How can i perform Source control operations from Visual studio 6.0. Please clarify the same at the earliest. Thanks in Advance. regards, Sundararajan.s Sandararjan, First, make sure you are running Visual C++ 6.0 SP6. Close Visual C++ Make sure TFS MSSCCI provider is your current MSSCCI provider. See How to Switch MSSCCI Providers . Restart Visual C++. Right click on your workspace/project and choose the Add to Source Control menu From this point on, Source control operations work like any other version control provider.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Import of a Signed SAML assertion in SamlAssertion class (May CTP)

  Hi, I have developed a STS on a device that generates a SAML Assertion which is signed. I have checked this XML assertion with an original created by WCF with the same parameters. I'm willing to use this SAML/RSTR using a WCF proxy but I'm building the RSTR/SAML without using a .NET framework on PC, so I cannot use any class of WCF to build this RSTR/SAML, I get a XML text representation. They perfectly match (Digest and Signature are perfectly the same). I can import this SAML when it's not signed in the SamlAssertion using ReadXml method, then I had the SigningCredential and it works perfectly. However if I import the same way the Signed XML it is imported but the RSTR built with this SAML is rejected by WCF. I found out ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating Http/Https listeners

  Hi there, I want to develop a linstener for POST method. The problem of using Tcp Sockets is that it requires huge amoung of time and work to be able to communicate easily with the sender. Is there a way by which I can handle these coming requests I heard about HttpListener but I am not sure is this is the solution Regards Salman Thanks for your reply. However, It seems that I didn't explain the problem clearly. The problem is not in communicating with the remote procedures but to handle the http headers.

  Can anyone tell me how to stop command prompt from flashing on my screen on startup It has been doing this for about a month now, and I know it shouldn't be. Thanks :-) im afraid you have posted in the incorrect forums. Best place is to post in the appropriate communities for your OS: www.microsoft.com/communities most likely you installed a piece of software doing this, you may wish to check the startup items.

• SQL Server how do I get the value of a DEFAULT

  Hi We have a default defined in our database CREATE DEFAULT [ schema_name . ] default _name AS constant_expression [ ; ] How can I ge the value of the constant using SQL Also - anyone know why this is going to be removed from a future version of SQL - we use it for partitioning with replicated clients (long story) - but every table has one column which is bound to this default. We find it *very* handy. Ta Bruce That shows the default constraints, but not our DEFAULT (terminology so similar but different - I'm confused!) thanks bruce ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus. What do you think I've had an iPod and hated it. I have a Muvo, and I love it. It holds a gig of music, the screen is ...Show All

• SQL Server I've installed SQL express, now what?

  This may be a stupid question, but I've installed SQL Express and I don't know what to do next. I went to my program files/Microsft SQL... and the only folder present is a configuration folder. Next I went to my control panel/admin tools/ODBC and succussfully created a user data source. (With the help of the forum!) Obviously, I've never used SQL before, but I've read a couple of books and other stuff online, and I want to teach myself. So I decided to install this. Basically, I'm looking for answers on how to access the database. I know it's installed, it's in the Add/Remove programs list. I just don't know how to connect/access it. Sorry for the dumb question. Stacey Thank you so much for he ...Show All

• Visual Basic xml frustrations

  I couldn't possibly have a harder time understanding xml reading in vb8. I have checked many websites and all examples are basically the same. And they don't cover what I want. This is what I want: I want to be able to read an xml file and search for a node and grab it's value. It seems like this should be easy. The only reason I am even messing with xml is because all I ever hear is xml is the future. I don't know why the future has to be so difficult. Anyway, I want to get the value of a single node from an xml file. Possible // The only reason I am even messing with xml is because all I ever hear is xml is the future. *sigh* XML is very useful, but it's no silver bullet. You shouldn't be using it because a magazine article said ...Show All

• .NET Development Could not find installable ISAM.

  I got the "Could Not find installable ISAM error" while uploading an Excel file in my application. The connection string uses the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider with following parameters Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Excel 8.0; Extended Properties=HDR=No; IMEX=1. I checked the registry entries as mentioned in the "Retrieving Data from Excell 2003-Could Not Find installable ISAM" post and even registered the "Msexcl40.dll" again. Even then I got the "Could Not find installable ISAM error". So I restarted the IIS Server. Even then the problem persists. What else could be the problem Thanks and Regards, Little The Excel ISAM is actually intalled wit ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Using external style sheets

  Is there a way to use external style sheets without having to use include for the styling section of the markup file XSS My idea is to have the same menu markup file for 2 menus with slightly different styling. Well, in theory you would do it via a GPRM (I was mistaken when I said script would work -- you can't set XPath variables until the markup is loaded, but the expression is only evaluated before the markup is fully loaded!) Unfortunately HDiSim has some bugs with the include attribute where it expects a nodeset rather than a boolean... so right now it looks like an include for the body is the easiest thing to do. ...Show All
