• Visual Studio Tools for Office Add in Micro Outlook (multiple recipient and attached excel files)

  Hi there, From your professional experience is it possible to create Add-in using Visual Studio Tools for Office which will automate following manual actions: attachment of the excel file with the unique name (eg excel file starting with MLC word) and sending it to multiple number of email address that have unique name + number logic (eg MLC1, MLC2,) While sending an excel file to a bulk email is pretty straightforward I have encountered a lot of difficulties to come up with the code solution for MOutlook add in when there is a large group of excel file and email addresses and each group is divided in sub groups of it own. For example there are 450 participants of the survey and to each of them I se ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WPF in IFrame hosted in vista sidebar gadget black screen problem

  I am having problems when I am trying to host a XAML page in vista sidebar. The page loads fine in IE, but when I try to load it in vista sidebar, a black background is shown.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IsOptional Datamember?

  I see that there is an 'IsOptional' attribute to the [Datamember] custom attribute. From the documentation this seems primarily targeted to versioning. I would like to have an optional member in the same sense that is defined in an XSD schema. When the member is defined as being 'optional' one can specify the default value for the member. Is there something equivalent for a data contract For example if there is a string member called 'name' and if it is not specified I would like not only for an exception not to be raised but I would like the default to be 'foo'. Thank you. A very brief overview. When the schema is imported it seems that it is imported as if xsd.exe was called on the given schemas a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Crazy PrintPreviewDialog not in intellisense

  Hello, My intellisense doesn't seem to be picking up on the methods or properties unique to a PrintPreviewDialog. For example, "ppd.MinimizeBox = True" works however the "MinimiseBox" doesn't show up in my intellisense - this is strange because every other component shows it's properties & methods. Regards, Luc Pettett Ariel, Thank-you for your reply - The PrintPreviewDialog is an object provided by System.Windows.Form so I cannot modify the properties. Maybe Microsoft has specified the property 'MinimizeBox' as EditorBrowsable ( EditorBrowsableState . Never ), Has this problem occured for others Regards, Luc Pettett ...Show All

  We've been combing the forums and the Connect database for bugs, feedback and suggestions around the application model. We still have a small amount of time to consider any other feedback you may have. So this is the thread that you post your latest likes or dislikes with Game, GameComponent, services, etc. Please scan the other threads before posting here, I'd like to just gather things that haven't already been discussed or reported elsewhere.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Transactional persistence of multiple workflow instances: pooled connections maxed out

  I’m trying to poke WF in various ways to make sure we can use it in a large project. The system will largely create the workflows in batches. For example every night we may create 4000 or so workflows. If I’m dealing with a batch of 4000 I don’t think I’ll be creating the workflows and starting them right away like this: WorkflowInstance instance2 = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(Workflow1)); instance2.Start(); I’m more thinking I’ll be creating all the workflows, getting the WorkflowInstanceID, recording this against an item in the database which the workflow is tied to. This needs to be in a transaction as I need to ensure the workflow is persisted and the WorkflowInstanceID is also recorded against the relative item in the datab ...Show All
