• Visual Studio Tools for Office Get The text of Words from a word document

  This may be a topic for some other group, but this group gets replies faster then then Automation or some other Word groups, so maybe someone here knows this. I really want to thank Cindy for pointing me in the right direction for what I wanted to do. I ended up using the DsoFramer control to host my word doc, and now I have the document loaded, when I first saw the Word.Document.Words collection, I thought cool a collection of string variables for words. Microsoft would never make it so easy. Does anyone know how I access the words in the document, and highlight a word that matches my search criteria (similiar to the way Google highlights your results). I am heading to the book store to buy an Office book next, but if someone has ...Show All

• Visual C# Interfaces oversold???

  First, I must admit that I am a C# novice and so I probably don’t have as much knowledge and experience on the subject of interface as most of you guys reading this post. After reading a few books on C# and interface design, I still can’t see and understand the real power of interface unless of course, we are talking about interfaces as a powerful concept in OOP ‘only’ and not as a powerful concept in the general sense. When I was first learning OOP I was quite suspicious about the ‘excellent features’ that OOP claims to be able to deliver to the world and I was right. For example, in reality OOP offers very little if any, code reuse. I am now having the same suspicion about interfaces even though I see a lot nice words used to d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamically configured Client

  I want to be able to create a client endpoint in code (not in the config file) The closest thing to this that I have found is to dynamically update the config as follows: Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); ServiceModelSectionGroup sg = ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup(config); ChannelEndpointElement ce = new ChannelEndpointElement(); ce.Address = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:47552/myService"); ce.Binding = "netTcpBinding"; ce.BindingConfiguration = "netTcpBinding"; ce.Contract = "ImyService"; ce.Name = "myTCPEndpoint"; sg.Client.Endpoints.Add(ce); // This writes it to the config file config.Save(); // this does not appea ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Humongous Javascript Api File.

  Hi, I am using v4 of the virtual earth control. But each time I open the page to view the map, it takes an age to load. I've used fiddler to detect the file sizes, and it seems the main file with the core script in it is 436,179 bytes, which seems huge. http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js -- 168 http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31 -- 436,179 Also the files are set to not cache, which means the files have to be downloaded each time! I checked the files for maps.local.live.com and it does not download one big file, but instead multiple small files. Ive summed the bytes for the whole page, which comes to about 582,228, but the actual mapping components only seem to add up to ~178,000 bytes, which ...Show All

• SQL Server Analysis Services, msmdpump.dll and IIS.

  Hello: I have two servers, one hosting Analysis Services and the other just serves as webserver. I have configured msmdpump.dll on the Analysis Services server succesfully using basic authentication. But now I need the webserver to provide Analysis Services data. I thought that I would be sufficient to repeat on the webserver the same configuration steps that I folowed on the Analysis Services server and change the <ServerName> tag in the msmdpump.ini file to point to the last one. Well, this isn't working. What am I missing Is there any tutorial or resource to accomplished I guess the problem you are having has to do with configuring permissions.

  I'm trying to write a FILTIME value to the registry. What is the best way of doing this How can I convert the int64 to string and back again Oystein I would store a FILEDATE as two individual DWORD values in the registry. Here is a sample. void WriteFileTime (HKEY hKey, FILETIME ft) { ::RegSetValueEx (hKey, _T ( "dwLowDateTime" ), 0, REG_DWORD, ( const BYTE*)&ft.dwLowDateTime, sizeof (DWORD)); ::RegSetValueEx (hKey, _T ( "dwHighDateTime" ), 0, REG_DWORD, ( const BYTE*)&ft.dwHighDateTime, sizeof (DWORD)); } This way you don't have to worry about converting to strings and back.

• Visual Studio Team System Building project which referring dlls from other project

  We have Framework which is used in several our Team Projects. Framework is a Team Project itself When I generated build for one of the client Team projects (and build files obviously belong to the this client Team Projects) looks like the Build engine is not aware of those referenced Framework DLLs. It tries to look for them in the client project root folder, can't find it and obviously fails to compile. This build is automatically generated with no targets added or removed so i would expect that this minimal build script would work but not.
