• Visual Studio Tools for Office Displaying Word Documents Within C# Forms

  Hi everyone. In our project, We have the following scenario: We create Word 2003 XML documents on the fly from certain data, And present this document to the user for preview in the following way - A form containing an AxBrowser control is loaded (basically wraps the IE engine unless im wrong) and we navigate that control to the location where the .xml sits. Now, With word 2003 and the registry value EditFlags set-up correctly, The control does successfully render the document inside it. Lately, We have been testing word 12 out to see if it fits us and migrating does not hurt current business logic, And we were unable to mimic this behavior - The class Word.Document.12 does not contain the same registry value and the document, When n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Editing check boxes and such while not in that form

  Is there anyway I can change the status of items on another user control, like I am on page 3, but i want to change the status of a check box to checked on page 2, is there anyway i could do that without actually being on page2 you would need a reference to page 2, so pass that reference into the constructor and store it locally in page 3 and make that control public but rather should make a public property in page2 which page3 calls and sets the value of that checkbox http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=777222&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=700821&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy with Unit Test

  I wish to use VSTSForDP to support my pre-existing unit tests. Currently the process we use is anytime we make a change to the database schema we use SQL management studio to generate a script that will create the database. We then check that .sql file into TFS as a solution item. Our unit tests have a piece of init code that reads in the .sql file and executes it against our test server to create a fresh database that our unit tests will use. We wish to simplify this process using DataDude. When our Unit Test init code runs I would like to run the .sql file that is the result of the build on our DataDude project. How can I do this With a solution item I can use the test run config to make that solution item deploy along with the unit ...Show All

• Visual C# Install speed is slow

  Hi I made a very small piece of code ~ 200K in C# and publish it in a ftp server. When i test the code in my machine the project took few second to install. However when I bring the code to other computer then it took too long. Do you know why it happen like that Thanks a lot could be a number of things. Could be the fact that the computer is slow Perhaps the anti virus software is kicking in causing it to slow down Could be because the code you have written at the point where it appears to be slow, is inefficient Tried building it under release mode than debug mode to see if it will speed it up The release mode removes all debugging information and optimizes the assembly, causing it to enhance performance. Do you also do Console ...Show All

• Visual C# What makes C# better than VB

  hey friends, I am a Visual basic developer. I hear that every C# programmer says C# is better - stronger than VB . But when I ask the reason I can never have a strong answer :) . Is there some body can tell me the benefits of using C# rather than VB. What makes is stronger than VB I want to learn C# but I want to be convinced before I start .. Thanks a lot Ayhan Hello All. Keith: Yes, of course the languages are different. The preferences I'm talking about are those of the developer. The language itself can't have a preference. It's a question of whether you prefer to use a language that makes it easy to use late binding on COM, because that's what you want to accomplish, or one that doesn't, because late bindi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Accessing Excel ComboBox values programmatically

  All, I have created an Excel add-in that loads information from Microsoft Project Data Server into a spreadsheet. For each row of data added to spreadsheet, I add a combobox that is populated with several options to choose from (there is a different default value for each combobox). I use the following code snippet to add the comboboxes to my spreadsheet: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls. ComboBox comboBox1 = this .Controls.AddComboBox( this .Range[ "C" +(i+7), missing], "comboBox" +i); comboBox1.Items.Add( "" ); //index 0 comboBox1.Items.Add( "blah" ); //index 1 comboBox1.Items.Add( "blah blah" ); //index 2 comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; I have two question ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Querying the Vista Index using ADO

  Interested in searching the index using standard DB queries   It's easy, but I can't find much documentation on it anywhere (please correct me if I'm just missing it).  After searching a lot, I discovered/guessed the connection string and can successfully query the new index.  Very fast, very nice!  I posted about it on my blog ( http://www.ariankulp.com/archive/2006/06/14/1315.aspx ), but basically, your connection string should be (escape quotes as necessary): Provider=Search.CollatorDSO.1;Extended Propertes="Application=Windows" Your FROM clause should reference: systemindex..scope() For information on available properties/columns, check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/libra ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Heightmap Terrain Component

  I thought the whole component concept was pretty cool. So I threw together a quick heightmap terrain component. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain2.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightmapprop.jpg It should work with square .raw files, and for the effectPath I'm just using the default texture shader found in the help file. The view and projection matrices of the terrain are exposed, so you should be able to hook up whatever camera you have going and just update the terrains view, and projection matrices during your games update. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using Microsoft.Xna.Fr ...Show All
