• Visual Studio Tools for Office Determine the location of the template

  Hi, I have started to create an add-in that will interact with a SharePoint list when the a new document is created from a SharePoint document library. The add-in is created and reacts on the NewDocument event, but I can not find any property on the Word application object (or in ActiveDocument) that tells me from which location the template was loaded/started. What I want to know is: Which document library have the user used for creating this new document Regards, // Henrik Hi Henrik Note that most people here have no experience or special knowledge concerning SharePoint. You may need to ask in a SharePoint newsgroup if the information I give you isn't appropriate to your scena ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automatic compilation

  Hi, in my current project pressing F5 does not automatically compile and run the application. And not even pressing F6 or choosing "Compile solution" compiles the project. I always have to right-click on my project and click on "Recreate" (words translated from German IDE). What do I have to do, to get the old behaviour In other projects/solutions everything works okay. Thanks! This is currently being discussed in a few places.

• Visual Studio Team System How to remove change sets as candidates for merge?

  I have 2 branches, say Test and Prod. I have a change set(Say 321) and I don't want or need it to ever merge into prod. How do I remove it from the list of candidates for merging I've tried this tf merge /discard /version:C321~C321 Test Prod /recursive It says the the changes were set to "AcceptYours" but then in the Source Control, the change set still shows in the list of change sets to merge. Any ideas you need to be in the "local path" of a workspace. the path is used in the TeamFoundation API to figure out what workspace you're attempting the operations on... if you have all your team projects mapped to say C:\TeamProjects\, the working directory of your command prompt needs to be at or under ...Show All

• SQL Server Full-Text Search over mutiple tables

  Hi, I'm just wondering if someone could help me with figuring out how to perform a search over mutiple full text indexed tables in the same database Here's my query on one table that works, I need to expand it to over multiple tables. sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, txtBody, chLink, intProfID " + "FROM FREETEXTTABLE ( tblPortfolio, *, 'ISABOUT(" + strSearchText + " WEIGHT(1.0))') a " + "JOIN tblPortfolio b on a.[KEY] = b.intID " + "ORDER BY RANK DESC; "; Without table schema, sample data, and expected output, it's hard to know what you're looking for.

• SQL Server Some questions about indices

  Hi all, we're planing to create a simple database with will work like a cache for a slow legacy system. The main work of this DB is to give results for search-queries. Each table will have up to 15 columns of different Datatypes and could contain up to 1.000.000 records. example columns of a Table: ID(int), guid (Uniqueidentifier), Subject(varchar(max)), Body(varchar(MAX)), IsComplet(bit), Startdate(DateTime), EndDate(DateTime) and so on... Typical searchqueries may be ("give me all items of a specific StartDate wich are complete" or "Give the item with the guid 'xxx-xxx...'. But also other combination are possible. Currently there are indices for the ID and guid columns. What is now the best practice to configure performan ...Show All

• .NET Development Folder Files & Size

  Hi folks, I'm trying to write a function that will (quickly) assess the number of files and their total size of a given folder. My current approach is really slow as I'm using the .NET API (FileInfo and DirectoryInfo classes) to obtain the length of each file in each subfolder of the supplied folder. Manually counting the files and adding their Length attributes to a counter on a drive that has thousands of files turns out to be a really slow process :( Is there a better way of obtaining the total number of sub-files and their collective size I'm using C++ in MS Visual Studio .NET C++ 2003. Yes, that's really slow; you'll have to visit every single file on the C:\ tree to provide the answer. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Book ( In Progress )

  For reasons I cannot exactly put into words, I’ve decide to write a (free) book about how to use XNA.   It is defiantly a work in progress and thus far only includes two chapters and associated source code. I truly hope that my work is advantageous to some people out there. I am in part doing this as a practice towards writing technical documentation.   I am not accomplished in writing instructions for other people that may not have the same level of technical skill sets as myself.   I hope that with this book I learn a whole lot and more in that regard. Granted, if you are a diehard game programmer, what I have written is probably not for you, at least, not yet! Yet I would value your input.   If you feel like c ...Show All

• Visual C++ How can a C++/CLI library catch unmanaged C++ exceptions from an unmanaged library without breaking the C++ stack unwinding?

  I have a static C++ library, built with VS2005, that is used by multiple projects. The library throws C++ exceptions (derived from std::exception) from its public interface. One project that uses the static C++ library is a .NET class library that is written using C++/CLI. What I have found is that when the .NET class library calls into the unmanaged C++ library and an exception is thrown from within this library, then the application immediately jumps to the .NET class library catch clause without calling unmanaged C++ destructors during stack unwinding. This of course breaks the RAII idiom and is creating a large problem for me. My questions are: Is this expected What is the best solution to work around the problem Many thanks f ...Show All
