• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Seem Broken After SafeGuard Easy install

  I was forced to install a product by the name SafeGuard Easy (a whole disk encryption system) on my development PC at work and since them I have been unable to run my VSTO excel projects. SafeGuard Easy evidently has some kind of issue with Visual Studio 2005 as I was required to removed Visual Studio before SafeGuard would install. After SafeGuard was installed, I was able to reinstall Visual Studio, its service pack and VSTO 2005 SE but now excel addin projects do not launch. As far as I can tell, the addins for excel simply are not loading. The new() method in the code behind is not firing but there are no error messages either in excel or Visual Studio. 1) I've looked at the security settings for excel and they seem correct 2) I've lo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Saving State...

  When I try to 'save state and exit' from file menu, the message SAVING STATE... is displayed but nothing seems to happen. SAVING STATE... does not disappear and nothing is saved. I have tried device emulator V1 and V2. NK.bin is made using device emulator bsp, but I also tried SMDK2410 bsp - with the same result. Any ideas Can you please verify if you are passing '/s' option PB doesn't pass this option by default.

• Visual Studio Team System T-SQL colour highlighting

  Quick one. I've just noticed that certain fuctions such as: SUSER_NAME() CURRENT_TIMESTAMP probably alot of others (maybe all of them ) show up as pink/purple in SSMS which is useful because it differentiates them from other keywords. In datadude these show up in blue, the same as all the keywords. Can that be changed to be more like SSMS -Jamie Hi Jamie Thanks for the feedback. Can you log a connect bug on this. We can't do anything on this for the V1 release but this is something that we can look into, for future releases mairead PM, TS Data ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is there an alternative way to use large datagridviews?

  Hi. I was wondering if there's a way to utilize the DataGridView and to display a large dataset on screen. The problem is that my program has to work with a transposed dataset, so the datarows are vertical. I got a nice function from The CodeProject which takes a DataSet and returns a new Dataset where the rows/columns swap roles. It is great, but I have a little bit of a dilemma. The DataGridView component in .NET2.0 (i'm using VS2005 pro/C# by the way) has a limitation of not coping with a large number of columns (655 is it's limitation due to something called the FillWeight - which I've had no luck modifying or understanding). I've had an idea, but not sure whether it will work. If someone can study this and liaise with me ...Show All

• SQL Server Sum on a many to many cube

  I have a cube which totals hours worked by pay codes. Each paycode can be marked as productive, non-productive, overtime or standard, etc.. Paycodes can be marked with any combination of these (certain combinations wouldn't make sense but are allowed). Ex. of data: PayCode Hours REG 1 REG OT 3 NP 2 NP OT 1 NP OT 3 PayCode Type REG Prod NP NonProd REG OT Prod REG OT OT NP OT NonProd NP OT OT So I am trying to get a calculated measure for the OT or NonProd which in this example is 9. But I am getting 13 because of the NP and OT being counted twice. Thanks for the help, Kevin Hi Kevin: My mistake about assuming you had a caclulated member. In your first po ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Connection Manager Behaviour !!

  I was wondering, how exactly does the connection manager work. Let me describe a scenario. My application was using GPRS to connect to internet and do its business. Now the user enables WiFi and is connected to a WiFi network. so what will happen now. The connection that my app used was made with GPRS, and now that we have WiFi up, new connections will be made with WIFI and my old connection made using GRPS will also live, am i right or is this not the way connection manager will work regards When you request a connection you pass a Guid of the network to connect to - if this is the standard internet destination guid then both the GPRS and WiFi connections should provide a route to this network. Therefore if WiFi is actively connect ...Show All

• Visual Studio Build macros no longer working after upgrading from VS 2003 to VS 2005.

  I have a long and arduous deployment process set up, and although it took me a while to get all the kinks out, it was all finally working just great for many months.... and then I upgraded to VS 2005. Part of this deployment process involves building my solution (obviously) using a macro. The code I use to do that looks like this: DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.SolutionConfigurations.Item( "Release" ).Activate() DTE.Solution.SolutionBuild.Build( True ) ...again... this worked just fine... for a long time. But now that I'm on 2005, it doesn't seem to want to work. And that's not to say that it gives me any errors... oh no... that would be way too convinient. It just runs, but doesn't really do what it's supposed to. After runni ...Show All

• .NET Development Time zone conversion problems

  Hi, I'm trying to parse a date time string that is always in ET time zone. The resulting time should be converted to local time. I could do that by backadjusting the ET time and converting to UTC. However, the issue is that I don't know if ET is currently in DST or not, so that I don't know how many hours I have to backadjust. Is there a framework built in way to get the UTC offset for any time zone Thanks, Tom The problem that I'm facing here is that the time I get is in ET. To convert it to local time I need to get the timezone offset from ET to UTC at a specific data (as the offset changes during the course of the year). However, I don't know how I can find out if ET is currently in DST or not ...Show All

• Visual C++ CUBE Sample: Demonstrates an OpenGL Application

  I'm trying to compile and run the OpenGL sample, CUBE, from MSDN ( CUBE Sample: Demonstrates an OpenGL Application) without any luck. I've tried it in Visual Studio 2005 and Visual C++ Express Edition. Clicking build does nothing in 2005 and gives a skipped message in Express. Selecting Project -> Properties does nothing. I suspect the project is MFC and so won't build in Express. However, I would expect it to build in 2005. Could the project be corrupted, or is it intended for an earlier non-compatible version of VS Is there a fix or workround TIA I have tried running this example as well, but it doesn't matter if I change it from Itanium to win32, or x64. It still won't compile. Here is the build ...Show All
