• Windows Forms Multi threading

  Hi All. I have a question that im hoping to get a little help/advice with. Im writing a forms application (just local - not web or anything) that calls out to a com dll for data processing. The processing may take anywhere from 1 minute to a couple of hours. So of course I would like to be able to display a progress bar - to the user. I tried muti-threading (background worker) the call to the dll - but that doesnt seem to work - either to any dll or at least a com one. So im wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on how to handle this. Can i use multi threading thats a little more sophisticated than the background worker, or can I make the dll - multi threaded (unsure how or even if this is possible). BTW - I am the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Custom Application.Run()

  hello, The Compact Framework requires the developers to start the application message loop on a given form. Therefore there is no Application.Run() method that can be called without a form instance as a parameter. For our applicationstructure this is very annoying, and I know that the OpenNETCF variant allows this. The problem is that we cannot use this library in our projects. Does anybody know what is needed to implement this method by hand Thanks in advance. Application.Run () does what a classic Windows message loop would do. The core of the implementation may look like this: while (NativeMethods.GetMessage ()) { NativeMethods.TranslateMessage (); NativeMethods.DispatchMessage () } With some tests you should be able to get ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Ribbon Manipulation from VSTO 2005

  Hello We have built a word document level addin using VSTO 2005 for Office 2003. It works great using Word 2007 and as you probably know, all commandbar items are displayed in the "Add-In" tab. I do not wish to have two solutions, one for 2003 and for 2007. I want my application to integrate into the toolbar/ribbon regardless. I noticed when I iterate over the commandbar collection in 2007 that there is a command bar called "Ribbon" which contains one element called "Ribbon" of type msoControlWorkPane. But that is as far as I reached. Can I manipulate the "Add in" tab caption using VSTO 2005 Can I somehow cast the "Ribbon" of type msoControlWorkPane to something tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge Conflicts for Identical Files ..

  When merging between two branches, TFVC displays merge conflicts ("The source and target both have changes") even when the file contents are identical. This probably results from the fact that the changeset numbers are different between the two files. Similar "false" warning show up in massive numbers (for large projects) during a baseless merge (probably due to changeset number difference as well). Is there a way from the IDE or command line to ignore these "false" warnings If not, is it possible to write a program using the object model to obtain a list of files which have "true" changes, and only manually merge those file The identical files could be merged with "AcceptTheirs" option, ...Show All
