• .NET Development which is the better data storage, XML or Excel

  Hi, I am developing a windows application that requires constant connection to data store. The data will then be used for calculation. I don't wanna use SQL database as i thought the retrival process could slow down the performance. Hence, I am thinking of using either XML or Excel as data store for retrival and calculation. Is there anyone know where I can find more information about how to choose the approperiate data store. any help is appreciated. Thanks!! Carol You do NOT need to install Excel to be able to work with Excel files from the application. You could read and write Excel files using Jet OLEDB provider or some other tools and you do not need Excel application for it. Excel will work faster, since XML adds extr ...Show All

• Visual Basic MS Press book errors/corrections found where?

  Hi: I am working thru the book: "Developing Web Applications with VB.Net and Visual C#.net"-ISBN--0-7356-1927-1--and am finding many errors in it! Where do I go to find a list of errors (and hopefully corrections) for MS Press books I have been to the page on Microsoft's site where you type in the ISBN --and it returned nothing. thank you in advance! julie s Just as a side though - did you check that the version of .net products you are using is the same as the version that the product is referring to. There are three versions of .NET 2002, 2003 and 2005 and wach product has a number of different versions which may mean you will see some options in one version and not another.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Which Interop To Choose?

  Hello everyone. I have a question about the Office 12 Interops - I wish to develop a solution for that platform under .NET v2, But the interops i have right now are either COM or .NET v1.1 assemblies. Are there any v2 interops planned (Although the v1.1 interops seem to work with v2 form applications) Which are preferable - COM or Managed Thanks in advance, Ran Sagy. I'll describe a common scenario to illustrate it better. Let's say i create a new solution with a normal C# WinForms project. I now go to References, Add Reference... and i have two choices - The PIA Interops that are compiled as .NET v1.1 runtime assemblies, Or the COM .OLB Interops.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Distributed Transaction problem

  Hi, I'm having problems getting transactions to work correctly in a state machine workflow. Within the TransactionScope activity I have a Code activity that does a couple of database writes, another Code activity that sends out a notification email, and a SetState activity, which I want to be executed only if the rest of the code executes correctly. The WF runtime and DB are hosted on different servers. After fixing a "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions" error by enabling the MSDTC stuff on both machines, I'm now getting a new error: "The transaction has already been implicitly or explicitly committed or aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D00E)" A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unshelve after element move

  Hello, I just moved a bunch of element off the main branch down to a development branch. Before the move I told the developers to shelve their work, once the move was done they could unshelved their and continue working on the new development branch. All was well until the developers started to check in there code. Their check-in's were being pushed back to the old folder structure on the main branch. While the elements were in the pending change status in the correct location as soon as they check in they got a conflict saying that there was a newer version on server. The conflict resolution was to either take the server and lose there changes or pick the local version which in turn moved the element back to old structure. With tha ...Show All
