• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Need help getting filepath information via File Dialog

  I am wondeirng if there is a way to have the file dialog box (or something similar) return a URL value from the selected file. Basically the issue I am having is that I am trying to add hypertext links to files stored on a shared network drive into an access table. Currently, using a pretty basic file dialog approach, the hyperlink text will be based on the file path as defined for each user. In other words, if the user has the network drive mapped as the G drive, the hypertext value returned is "G:\\..." or if the user does not have the drive mapped at all, the network-assigned URL for the drive is returned (i.e. \\DriveName\... ). The latter (the user-independent URL) is actually what I desire to have returned as the value, so as to make ...Show All

• Visual Basic Looping Registry Keys

  I am making an application that allows me to backup my Microsoft Office 2003 settings. To be honest I have two questions if you dont mind.... One question I would like to ask is if anyone can help me think of a way to loop through each set of keys under each Office program key so that I may save each value as seen fit To do this so far I have had to look up each of them with regedit and write about 1700 lines of code, its works but seems to be terribly untidy and a loop I think would be more efficient. Another question would be; On installation of Office, would all of the keys and values be written. Or maybe they are not there until that particular setting or option has been edited within a program I thank any person that can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Passing Credentials to witexport / witimport

  There must be a way to pass credentials. After all, I can connect from VS to a TFS that I have no trust relationship whatsoever just passing my credentials. What happens if I need to add a template to say CodePlex I don't even own the server... Is there a way to circumvent this unbelievably annoying issue witimport & witexport do not support specifying any permissions in the command line. You should consider using 'runas' command; type 'runas / ' from the command line to get more information. With it you can run any command with any permissions you want. Thanks, Alex ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista graphBuilder->Connect(sourcePin, destPin) failing

  Hello, I've written a custom filter that works proprely in GraphEdit, but generates an error (-2147220897) when I try to connect to it in code. My filter has 1 input pin and 1 output pin, and has the same pin defs as the example NullNull filter. I'm trying to connect it's input pin to an output pin of an InfiniteTee.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Working with Headers (this is working now)

  Using VSTO in VS.net 2005.  I would like to include a picture in my MS Word 2003 header.  The picture I would like to insert at runtime will depend on an action selected by the user in a smart tag ("Insert Logo").  I would like to just include the possible pictures in the same directory with the application add-in, and refer to the paths at run time. So far I have had problems getting the header pane to close, and figuring out how to insert a picture from a file.  This is the first page header code I started with: Private Sub AddHeaderPic() Dim i as integer i=1 ' for first section For i = i to 1 Globals.ThisDocument.Section(i).Headers(Word.WDHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterFirstPage) _  .Range.Sel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Out of Memory Exception. Exported Word Files are too big

  Currently I have written an application that uses Crystal Reports XI. I currently have two issues, which hopefully someone can help me with: The first issue is that when exporting documents in Word Format, crystal reports creates word documents of nearly 200 Mb, where for example a PDF document is only 1-2 Mb. Is there a way of reducing the size of an exported document in Word, as first of all the program is crashing and secondly I want to send these documents as attachments within emails.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office WebView no longer works in OL2007 in a separate PST?

  Hello All, Our addin displays data in the WebView for some folders. This worked great in OL2003, but now in OL2007, it doesn't display the HTML page anymore. When I manually went to set the webview page in the right click properties, it no longer displays. How can I get custom webviews for folders that are not under the default store (it appears that folders under the default store can still have custom webviews but not folders under separate PST's).

• SQL Server Backup cant find database name

• .NET Development faster way of accessing CSV files

  hi, I am handling CSV files as database. each CSV got 40,000 - 60,000 lines. I have to do the joining, subquery and other complex tasks here. the problem is, my query execution time too high, 2-3 mins. how can I reduce the time I saw there is no way of declaring keys for CSV files in Schema.ini. I am using OleDb. another thing, can anyone tell me what should I use to this heavy task is there any good replacement of OleDb please let me know. I should have added an example.
