• Visual Studio Tools for Office Publish Excel 2007 Add-In using ClickOnce

  Hi, I'm trying to publish my Excel 2007 Add-in  with VSTO 2005 using ClickOnce but I'm not having success. Is it possible to publish my Add-in using ClickOnce How  can I do that Thanks.   Hi Helio, I assume you are VSTO 2005 Second Edition. VSTO2005 does not support Click Once but does have a publish experience. Briefly once you publish the solution you will also need to - Install the pre-requisite on any client machines (.NET, VSTO 2005 SE runtime, Office PIAs) - Make a local copy of the application manifest. - Trust the solution to run using CASPOL - Register the add-in with the appropriate registry key Details of how to deploy VSTO2005 SE add-ins can be found here: ht ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Single-server installation Sql connectivity issue

  We have a single server installation of team foundation server that had been working great. Yesterday the SQL server 2005 instance was changed in the surface area configuration tool to allow only local connections. It seems this should work since they are both on the same machine, but an error is logged now for the work item tracking web service that it is unable to connect to the SQL server. How can we allow the SQL server to be set to local only and get TFS to be able to connect to the DB again. The odd thing is that the source control hasn't stopped working, only the web services. Thanks Thanks Vic, Is this fix going to be included in a future service pack only, or will there be a hotfix we ca ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. BoundingBox.Contains doesn't work after a transform?

  Hi All, I have some test code that uses BoundingBox.Contains to see if a vector lies inside the bounding box. It works fine until I transform the point vector and bounding box min/max vectors by a matrix. The coordinates look right, but the function retuns disjoint. I know I must be missing something here, but I can't figure it out. The values after translation are: BoundingBox.Min: 0, 0, 0 BoundingBox.Max: 1, 0.99999999, -1 Point: 0.5, 0.5, -0.5 My test code just replaces the standard game Update() method. You also need to set the game Draw() methods graphics device clear call to graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(color); Here's the Update method and color declaration: Color color = new Color ( Color .Yellow.To ...Show All

• Customer Care Framework CCF - Adding and executing Actions on hosted applications

  Hi, I have added an action "TestAction" to a hosted application "MyApplication" and want another hosted application "MyApplication2" to fire that action. Both these hosted applications are hosted controls. The action has been added in ContactCenterAIF.Action table. The initialization string is "<ActionInit><GetFocus>true</GetFocus></ActionInit>". From "MyApplication2", I call the following code, FireRequestAction(new RequestActionEventArgs("MyApplication","TestAction","<GetFocus>true</GetFocus>"); When the above code is executed, focus is shifted to "MyApplication", however the handler DoActi ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How can I determine if an ActiveX component is available/installed via JavaScript?

  I am new to implementing code components in Internet Explorer. I am trying to instantiate a simple ActiveX object on a web page like so: <object id="myAxObj" classid="CLSID:EBCEC437-3386-472F-996D-1DE03174AA35" codebase="MyAxObj.cab#version=1,0,0,0"></object> Later on the page, I would like to have a simple JavaScript to inform me of the component has been downloaded and installed. if (document.getElementById("myAxObj"))... always evaluates to true even when the component is not installed on the system. This seems odd to me, as I would've expected it to be undefined. How can I determine if the code component is available via JavaScript Over on a ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS package design - Ideas

  Greetings SSIS friends, I am in the process of designing a package for populating a Dimension table for my new data warehouse. I would like to discuss with you my proposed solution in the hope that some of you will be able to advise me on any mistakes that I have made so far. I have 3 source tables which are used to populate my Dimension table (I will restrict each source table to a few columns to keep this simple). The source tables are : Meetings (MeetID, NameID, Meeting_Start_Date, Meeting_End_Date, Meeting_Time_Stamp) Events (EventID, MeetID, Event_Start_Date, Event_End_Date, Event_Time_Stamp) Names (NameID, Long_Name, Short_Name, Names_Time_Stamp) My Dimension table structure is very bas ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with CString Variable

  I am using a dialog class which is derived from another generic dialog class which itself is derived from CDialog This class contains many CString varibles and it is working fine. Later I added another CString variable. Then also the corresponding dialog is properly opening(Modal Dialog), but after closing the dialog I am getting the following Assertion: Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the 'dlg' was corrupted When I click Retry it is taking me to the next statement from where the dialog is initiated using DoModal() method. Here I found one strange behaviour. If I put any char , int or float variable before this CString member variable I am not getting any error message. But If I put double variable I am get ...Show All

  You know how you can drag WinAmp's window by dragging from any empty part of WinAmp's form - well, I would like to implement this type of functionality in my program.

• Visual Basic Error binding to target method. I can see a missing EndIf .... if it matters?

  This is a change-of-direction from my previous post ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1095934&SiteID=1 ). I didn't get an answer yet on that one, so I'm trying something different. For this code, assume myInstalledModules is a Dictionary(of string, string) that maps a module name key to the assembly path of that component. So I'm trying to eliminate dependencies in my main app, allowing different components to be installed during setup. So when I try to access types in the satellite assembly, I want to load those types dynamically. (See the following code) //Begin code// Dim a As [Assembly] = [Assembly].LoadFile(myInstalledModules( "Pathology" )) Dim types As New Dictionary( Of String , Type) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Rotation 3D with mouse

  Hello, I'm using DirectX 9 to develop a simplex 3D application. In particular, I show in a PictureBox my 3D object and I would like to use the mouse to rotate it. Actually, with the PictureBox "MouseMove" event I read the e.X and e.Y coordinates and simply I transform it in rotation: mRotX = Matrix.RotationX((e.Y / Velox)) mRotZ = Matrix.RotationZ(-(e.X / Velox)) mRotT = Matrix.Multiply(mRotX, mRotZ) device.Transform.World = mRotaT But this is not properly the effect that I would like to obtain, because it is true that moving the mouse on the PictureBox my 3D object rotates but the system is not to much friendly. Do some one know how can I obtain a much real effect For example as in normal 3D applicati ...Show All

Is it possible to change the template for this title to example: WI396 - Original work item title: . Regards, Thomas Ardal Thomas, it is not possible to change that behavior since we do not have extensibility mechanism for it. If you are willing to spend coding time on it, you can build your own addin that exposes a copy workitem menu to achieve such customization. Our OM exposes a copy method to help with it. ...Show All
