• Visual Studio Team System SP1: unhandled exception opening documents from Project Portal site

  I am getting the error "An unhandled exception occurred in IEXPLORE.EXE [3976] when I attempt to open a document that has been uploaded to the project portal sharepoint site in VSTS. This causes IE to close and I cannot open any documents from the site. I recently upgraded to SP1. Could you do me a favor and let me know if this happens separately from VSTS For example, if you upload a document to the same sharepoint server, view sharepoint itself, then try to open the document from sharepoint, do you get the same problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office CheckOut and CheckIn customization

  Hi folks, Is there any way to intercept Documents.CheckOut and _Document.CheckIn methods in Word 07 I'd like to provide my own document management services, but there doesn't seem to be a way to replace SharePoint access code with my own. I'd also be interested to hear any alternative ideas on how to transparently load/save documents from remote server. Cheers, Alex. Thanks for your reply John, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I need a way to make Word call my code for document storage, not just override user commands. For example, I can save a document to a temp file and then send it off to my server, but Path property of that document would still point to a temp file. I've been ab ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generating Tabs in Excel Report

  Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to generate a tabbed report to Excel format with Reporting Services Thank you, Ray raymuirhead , When a report is exported to excel, the tab name in excel is going to take the name of your rdl report, but I am having the same problem that you have when I am exporting a report that has a group and a page break is set up in the group. When this information is exported to excel the information is saved in different spreadsheets, which is really cool. but it would be nice to be able to set up the name of the spreadsheet. I would like to be able to set up the name of the spreadsheet as the name of the group instead of "sheet1, sheet2 and so on". If yo ...Show All

• SQL Server Apply ranking to a matrix report

  I'm developing a matrix report with a 2-level drilldown for the rows i.e. parent - ITEM-A, child - ITEM-B. I have added a group to display ranks for the ITEM-B group, which displays the ranks based on a custom function that I defined in the report. This rank group is also displayed along with the ITEM-B group when the ITEM-A group is expanded. So when I expand the first ITEM-A, it lists the ITEM-B's with the ranks eg. 1-30, but when I expand the second ITEM-A, the ITEM-B's are listed with the ranks continued eg. 31-40, and so on. I also have a custom reset function for the ranks, but I don't know where to apply this reset function. My question is that, I need the ITEM-B's to be ranked afresh for each ITEM-A. The following example shows wha ...Show All

• Visual C++ speed comparison: atan2f vs Math::Atan2

  So I am writing a mixed assembly, part of it is managed C++ and part of it is unmanaged. In unmanaged part I'm calling function atan2f( y,x) from <math.h> . it runs in double for loop over whole matrix and takes a very long time to compute. In fact, when I change this code from unmanaged to managed and instead of atan2f call System::Math::Atan2(y,x), I get significant speed gains. Difference is so obvious that I cant process images in real time with atan2f, whilst with Math::Atan2 I can. How is that possible Is there any other(faster) way to compute atan2 in unamanaged C++ code Maybe you can google your way out of this one. e.g. http://lists.apple.com/archives/PerfOptimization-dev/2005/Jan/msg0 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. low resolutions not working (<800x600)

  Hey there all! I wonder if someone of you has experienced the same problem like me:  I'd like to set up my game to have a resolution of 640x480 fullscreen (or even lower). When I make a new game project (or open an existing one - doesn't matter) and change the resolution to anything lower than 800x600 fullscreen a messagebox appears (while the game starts fine, but stays a black screen doing nothing) saying that I will have to use a resolution minimum of 800x600 to use this application. I was searching for the text in the messagebox on the net, but to no avail. I'd post a picture here, but since my WindowsXP is a german version, I guess that it wouldn't help a lot. Maybe this even has nothing to do with XNA or C#. My gra ...Show All
