• .NET Development Switching SettingsProviders at runtime

  Hi, It seems that to specify a SettingsProvider for an ApplicationSettingsBase wrapper, you decorate the wrapper or one of its properties with a SettingProviderAttribute. That seems to bind a particular provider at compile time. I'd like to know how to specify the provider at runtime so that I can switch the SettingsProvider that my ApplicationSettingsBase wrapper uses on the fly. The application would be this: If a smart client application is offline, it would use the default LocalFileSettingsProvider. When it's online, it would use a custom provider that uses say, a webservice of some kind to get/set the app settings. The only thing that looks vaguely promising might be one of ApplicationSettingsBase's constructor overloads which t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Parameters property of the HandleExternalEvents activity - what's the point?

  I've been going through some of the Hands On labs for Workflow. Several times, I've had to put a HandleExternalEvents activity in my workflow, and then set the InterfaceType and EventName properties. After I do this, there's a section of Parameters properties that correspond to the arguments of the function I have handling the event, and I've been instructed to bind these to new members in a workflow, and then in the event handler, reference the new members instead of the arguments to the handler function. Since I don't really know what I'm doing, I follow directions, but when I step through the code while debugging, I notice that the member that I bound the parameter to has a different value than the argument to the event handler, which I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying VSTO Word Project: could not find or load customization assembly

  Hello! I developed a custom task pane with VSTO for a Word2003 report and now I would like to enable access for my clients to this document. I copied the document to a server folder in my intranet and tried opening it, but I got the following error:: "The customization assembly could not be found or could not be loaded" "The customization does not have the required permissions to execute." Therefore, I need to grant access to a server folder where the document and the assembly will be located.

However I still keep getting the same error! I noticed this note "You must be ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies How do you close tasks that are created inside a replicator?

  Hi, I create an unkown number of tasks within a replicator. Now at a later state I wish to complete all tasks that were created in the replicator. But when I try to set the CorrelationToken on the CompleteTask activity outside the replicator I cannot see the tokens assigned to the tasks created in the replicator shape. And ideas on how to do this Thanks Hi. I have another way to do that. You just need to set UntilCondition property of the replicator activity.

  Hi, I have done an extension on the ListViewItem that I called ListViewItemEx and now I want any listview to use ListViewItemEx instead of ListViewItem.

• SQL Server SQL Everywhere ConnectionString problems

  <VS2005, SQL Everywhere CTP> When I create typed datasets (for SQL Everywhere db) using the VS designer, I get a connectionString like Data Source =".\App_Data\Db1.sdf" added to the settings file by the designer. This works fine in the designer but not at runtime. If I replace the settings value to Data Source ="|DataDirectory|App_Data\Db1.sdf" then it works fine at runtime but breaks the designer. I looked at the typed dataset designer generated code & it creates a SqlCeConnection object which supports |DataDirectory| macro. So, how can I get the designer & runtime to agree on a connectionString. I guess I can create a partial class for the table adapters & force a connectionString at runtime via a co ...Show All

• SQL Server Script Task Variables

You can do it in code. Writing to a variable from a script task ( http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/02/09/964.aspx ) Still no intellisense though!! I highly recommend you use the code option because this minimises the risk of variable locking.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Hooking into form when adding new contact

  I am trying to figure out how to hook an event into the new contact form. The scenario is a user clicks create new contact. They enter the name in the name field and tab or click away. I want my event to be called so I can check the name against our CRM system. Is this possible I've figured out a way to get signaled in VBA (on the contact form itself), but all the code that communicates to my CRM is in .NET (through VSTO). Is this possible Thanks!  I actually figured out something right after I posted it.   I did the same exact thing.  The only problem is since you have a application variable as objContact that is set on the NewInspector event, a user could open a se ...Show All

• SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server 2005 DTS Designer Components

  Hi, I learned this from one of SSIS book-Migrating from Data Transformation Services to Integration Services in SQL.

If you want to upgrade all your SQL Server 2000 instances, this is the best and only option for recovering the DTS designer.
