• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is there a different in VSTO 2007 and VSTO 2005?

  Hi, I just want to ask whether there is a different between VSTO 2005 and VSTO 2005 second edition, such as some objects are available in VSTO 2005 and not in VSTO 2005 second edition. I was writing code in VSTO 2005 second edition and some objects or methods cannot be called and used. Thanks. Yes, the full version of VSTO 2005 is different from VSTO 2005 SE (and neither is "VSTO 2007", which doesn't officially exist - at least, not yet). The SE stands for "second edition". It's an "Add-on" for Visual Studio and can be used with any edition (Standard, Pro, VSTO, Team Studio). It provides a way to create COM Add-ins for six Office applications, both 2003 and 2007 versions. In contrast to Shared A ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Wizard

  Hi all, Im wondering why its so hard to emulate a vista LAF wizard in WPF... i mean i cant have a window without an icon in the top left in WPF. I need to emulate the vista wizards i.e. no icon in window, but one in the task bar button. The reason i have to do this is because our software is used under XP as well. I also need to to optionally have the min/max buttons in the top right of the window. Regards, S> It's not very difficult to make a custom window that provides the chrome YOU want. There was a big todo when this feature was added in the June CTP of .Net 3.0...well actually it was the AllowsTransparency feature combined with WindowStyle.None.

• .NET Development What is remoting

  Hai I want to know what is remoting in .Net.., How can it be implemented. What is its usage thanks Ratheesh Remoting is a wonderful tool to build distributes systems (such as client/server, p2p, etc) I am currently building a remoting application at work. We have a database server, application server, and then each employee has their own machine (so many clients) Each user has a client application that connects to the server so they can do their normal day to day work. This way the client application does not have access to the database, they must go threw the server, and the server can then connect to the database. I am not sure if you play any online games, but lets use World of Warcraft as an example. You ...Show All

• SQL Server how to loop through several excel sheets in a file in integration services

  Hello, I'm new at Integration services and I have an excel file with information in several worksheets. I want to loop through some specific sheets to retrieve the data and save it in a database table. I know how to retrieve the data from one sheet, but I don't know how to do it for several sheets. Any ideas ...I would appreciate any help. To clarify a bit more -- within my For Each loop container, I could always use Excel Destination task to write to a single "dummy" filename, and then use the File System task within the same For Each loop container to re-name the file to whatever I want (using my variable ). In this case, I end up with 100 workbooks rather than 1 workbook with 100 worksheets, b ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing arrays from vb .NET to ActiveX control (*.ocx)

  I have an application written in Visual Basic 6 that uses an ActiveX control written in Visual C++ 6. I'm moving the visual basic 6 application to visual basic .NET (2003). The problem is when I try to pass an array from the visual basic code as a parameter of a function of the control. In Visual Basic 6 the code is something like this: Dim dummy(10) as Long '... 'some code '... myActiveXControl.myFunction(dummy(0)) myFunction expects a reference of the first element of an array of Integers. Passing the first element of the array works fine in visual basic 6. But if I try the above code in vb .NET, changing the definition of the array for this one (type Long in vb 6 is Integer in vb .NET) : Dim dummy(10) as Integer ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional formating in Subtotals?

  I have subtotals in a matrix and I want to format the background color depending on the subtotal value - > 95 = "Green", < 95 > 90 = "Yellow", < 90 = "Red". I go to the Subtotal properties and put the iif expression in the background color, but it's not detecting the Subtotal value. How do I refer to the Subtotal value in a formating expression Yes, I created the subtotals by right-clicking the row cell of the outer-most group and selecting 'subtotals'. The problem with the simple iif... is that it affects all the cells - not just the subtotals. I did find out why my background image wasn't showing in the subtotals, if you set a background color in the Subtotal ...Show All

• Visual J# converting jar to dll

  Hi I tried converting a jar to dll using jbimp.exe . I get the error JbImp error: Failed to extract myfile.jar My jar has other files than .class files like dtd ,txt and certificate .sf and .rsa files . Is it possible that these files are causing the problem. Should I extract only the class files into a jar and convert Is it possible that I can convert the whole jar into a dll Thanks for any help Hi, I think other files in jar wont cause the problem. I tried an example with zip files containing files like .txt and .class and it is working fine. jbimp will look for .class files in your jar files and convert the .class files. Some of the scenarios are not suppported in jbimp. For more info please s ...Show All
