• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to get a stream of a word document in a custom action pane

  I've created a custom action pane in Microsoft Word 2007 by reading the msdn article- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338197.aspx . I want to send the active document to a web service when user clicks a button on the custom action pane. I can get active document by the 'ActiveDocument' property of Application class but I can't get a stream of the document to pass it as a parameter of web service method.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Explorer Wrapper for C#, VSTO 2005 & Outlook 2003

  I have tried many variations for the explorer wrapper, and my last attempt was with a few bits of code taken from the Microsoft "ShortcutBar Sample". My resulting Explorer wrapper is at: http://pastebin.com/844445 But I'm facing a problem: If I open multiple Explorer windows and close them, the Outlook process is still running after all Outlook Explorers have been closed. This doesn't happen if I only have one Explorer running. To reproduce the problem, take the code pasted at the URL above, and debug it. When Outlook launches, open multiple explorer windows (right click on a mail folder and select "Open In New Window"). And then close them. You will find that your debugger doesn't stop on its own, and you ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching

  I find myself needing to make a branch of a project for some experimentation. I've been doing a bit of reading, and I'm getting this sinking feeling that the way I have my project structure set up it's going to be a hell of a lot of work. Maybe there's a way out... So I have my Source Control project under $/Foo. There's an associated Team Project called "Foo". All has been good up till now. We just released, I've dropped my label and this particular code base is stable and not being actively worked on. But I do want to do a little experimentation on a possible feature, for which I'd like to make a branch. If I'd been smart (and planned ahead), I'd have made my main project $/Foo/main and then I could branch to $/Foo/Experimental ...Show All

• Visual Studio "Unexpected Error" in VS2005 on loading a solution

  Reproduced from another thread as requested: I have several branched codebases, and the problem only occurs when switching between codebases (ie. I run 'clean' on the solution in the codebase I'm switching from, and open the solution in the codebase I'm switching to). The codebases represent the same code at different points in the release cycle and are mapped to different directory hierarchies in the filesystem. My .sln file is in the same directory as all of the contained project directories (ie. one level up from all the .csproj files): MySolution MySolution\MySolution.sln MySolution\MyProject1 MySolution\MyProject1\MyProject1.csproj MySolution\MyProject2 MySolution\MyProject2\MyProject2.csproj etc..

• SQL Server Understanding ROLAP

  We are looking at adding a real-time aspect to our SSAS cube set, to allow reporting against a relatively small but constantly changing data Our initial thought was to use ROLAP partitions and dimensions - we were under the impression that the queries would always be satisfied from the underlying relational tables. However, in our explorations we are finding that understanding to be incorrect - SSAS is in fact caching data, so it ends up returning stale data. We've configured our paritions and dimensions for ROLAP and disabled all proactive caching (we would like this solution to work with SSAS Standard Edition, which precludes the use of proactive caching). Is there something else we need to figure Are are we headed down the wrong path h ...Show All

• Visual C# Including Panels defined in another file

  I'm developing a Compact Framework 2.0 Windows CE application. It has a number of panels stacked on top of each other and a menu to navigate between the different panels. To be able to design each panel in the GUI editor of VS2005 I have one form per panel + one form where I put it all together and stack all panels on top of each other. So every time I redesign a panel I have to: 1. delete all panels from the form where I put it all together 2. paste all new panels back in to the form where I put it all together 3. edit the designer file of the form where I put it all together to remove any lines where one panel is added into another panel. 4. edit the designer file of the form where I put it all together to make each panel be added ...Show All

• Visual C# About file thumbnail

  Hi everyone, Does anybody know how to extract the file'thumbnail use C# .If you know, please tell me,thank you. Hi, The 'thumbnails' you see in Windows Explorer are stored in the thumbs.db system file that is generated by Windows whenever you view a folder in 'Thumbnail' view mode. If you never use the Thumbnail view in Windows explorer, the file won't even exist. Basically, there are 2 means of getting a thumbnail from a picture. 1. Get the thumbnail that is stored within the picture (most digital camera's store a thumbnail withing the jpeg) 2. Create your own thumbnail. For the first method, you'll need an EXIF parser to read EXIF tags from a JPEG. This is actually quite complex, bu ...Show All
