  I can't get click-once deployment to work from Visual c# express. The upload works fine, but when I click on the link to install, an XML page opens and nothing else happens.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Need direction on using code instead of VLOOKUP

  Hi, all. I've been looking through the forum, and there's a lot of great info here. I'm learning VBA, but I'm running out of time on a project that I'm working on, and would like help if anyone can offer it. I use a spreadsheet that contains a lot of VLOOKUP functions as well is the Excel IF function. Currently I paste two reports into two separate blank worksheet tabs, and the first worksheet uses the VLOOKUP to import the data needed. It's cumbersome and I run into errors once in a while because some yahoo has added a column to one of the reports. I would like to be able to add a macro that searches for a column by header name on a worksheet, then copies the data from that column into a specifed column on another worksheet. Can anyone gi ...Show All

• Visual C# Collection Differences

  I want a collection for dynamically adding/removing/sorting lists of strings. From what I can tell, the best options are List and StringCollection, but what I can't tell is what exactly the difference would be. They both seem to have many of the same methods, and in the documentation they are both used as examples of Collections that are not prone to performance hits (at least, for my usage). If anyone could explain to me what the difference is, and why I might prefer one to the other, that would be greatly appreciated, as right now I'm very confused, and don't want to start using the wrong one only to have to find that out a while into the programming! Thanks very much! James Curran wrote: ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista HandleExternalEvent activity in Parallel

  I have a few activities in parallel that listen for the same event. With the event arguments I will see which one of the parallel activities to execute. It seems though that the event is only fired in the first activity and not in all the activities waiting for this event to fire. I would say, this is the 99.9% bug. When you define an event, you are forced to use "event" keyword (ExternalDataExchangeService) which is actually a MulticastDelegate. What means - several subscribers for the same event... I see no reason, why your workflow does not react properly... Otherwise it must be "delegate" keyword... Second, I have never ever heard that in .NET the source of the event HAS TO ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Allowing user to query MDB file from textbox

  I have a form with a textbox, a datagridview, and an execute button. I would like for the user to be able to enter a query, such as, 'Select * from Components where ProjID = 1' and then have the datagrid populated once the execute button is clicked.
