• Visual Studio Tools for Office Fuzzy text in a label control

  Hi, I've added some controls to the top of a sheet in an Excel file. The problem I'm having is that the text on, say a label, is blurry or fuzzy. It almost looks like when smoothing is being applied but actually makes it worse. I've tried various fonts and sizes and that doesn't matter. The rest of the text on the sheet looks fine. Has anyone seen this before, and hopefully knows what's happening I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. Hi Dennis, It happens during design time when I put a label on the sheet. If I then run it, it still looks fuzzy when running. I haven't tried just popping a label on a sheet during run time, so I don't know if that will help. For what it's worth, I abandoned this and decided to put my controls on ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Already installed message after cf update

  Hello, Every time when I debug my solution there appears a very annoying message on my Windows CE device: Already Installed ----------------- Microsoft .NET CF 1.0 ENU-String Resource is already installed. Reinstall How can I switch that off If it's already installed I don't want to reinstall it every time... Thanks for your help!

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Full backup hanging on last step

  Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me. I have a full backup that runs every night. A couple nights ago, it started to hang on on backing up the Windows Sharepoint Services Search Database. It says "Preparing backup" while all the other steps says "In Process". The SQL server database, on the same server (single server deployment) taps out in the morning and the portal is unable to connect to the config database. Then I'd have to restart the server. These backups are also not restorable as they had never finished. Does anyone know what's going on here or know how to clear the unfinished backup history I've already tried deleting timer failed and stuck timer jobs. Thank you much. I have two sharepoint ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "The project cannot be created" error

  I’ve installed the software in the following order: MS .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 MS Office 2003 Professional SP 2 (before I had 2002 but uninstalled it) MS VS 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200) (before I had VS 2003) MS VSTO 2005 OS is Windows XP SP2.

• Smart Device Development Icon problem

  Hi all, I have been on this problem for ages! Im trying to create an icon yet am getting some errors. I think shows that the problem lies because I use the Compact Framework. I have read that the Compact Framework only supports the Icon constructors that accept Stream objects. Therefore, I need to create a Stream object with the file name that I wish to open and pass this to the Icon constructor instead. Can anyone guide me on how to code this As I am new to System.IO.File & FileStream classes as well as the Icon class. The code I have is shown below.. Thanks! K9. //Code Begin VectorStyle Style = new VectorStyle ( new IVertexStyle [] { new IconVertexStyle ( new Icon (SAMPLE_DATA_DIR + "..\\ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions 'IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled' ??

  Database1DataSet myInstance = new Database1DataSet (); object Timo = myInstance.Tables[ "Table1" ].Rows[0].ItemArray[0]; so this is my code (still :p) but it says 'IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled' but why does it say that error its not under 0, the number is 0 so is the first row (cant be too high), and what do they mean with: 'Make sure data column names are correct' where do I need to type data column names pls help me :< thx in advance Hi, I'm guessing your table has no column, or, more likely, your data table has no rows. In you're code, you're assuming both - that your table has at least one column (that's probably true) and that it contains at least one ...Show All

• .NET Development "The server has rejected the client credentials" always occurs

  Hi! I'm not sure if this is a bug in .NET v2, so I'm posting here first just in case it's me I create a TcpClientChannel with the secure property set to true. In my code, I set the properties of the channel to be the user's user name, password and domain. If the user types all of the info (user name, password, domain) correctly the first time (after the app has started), all is well and there are no errors. However, if the user makes a mistake (eg. bad password), that time, and every time there is an attempt to login after that, a System.Security.Authentication.InvalidCredentialException (The server has rejected the client credentials.) is thrown. If I restart the client app (but keep the server running), and login again with the correct ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Designer + Expression - Frontpage = ?

  I just downloaded the Frontpage replacement which consists of two products named Microsoft Sharepoint Designer and Microsoft Expression. From what I can tell the two products are practically identical in functionality. Questions: 1. What is the difference if any 2.
