  Hello, I successfully created an Excel 2003 add-in using VSTO SE on VS2k5. When I run the app in debug mode, the add-in displays properly within Excel.

• Software Development for Windows Vista change delay timeoutduration

  Hello guys, I have a state machine workflow, and to create a timer, I used a delay inside an event driven. Is there anyway to change timeoutduration of this delay to a new value, while the instance of the workflow is running, so the timer expires at that new time. I couldn't find any code samples for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It IS possible to change the duration during execution , however not with the out-of-the-box Delay-activity. My ConfigurableDelay-activity does exactly that. You can have it wake up every few days/week, independent of the configured duration. I used this functionality to fix a bug in the standard Delay-activity ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System link work-items with other work-items , not with linkscontrol
