• .NET Development Fastest way to call C++ code from C#?

  I would like to write plug-ins for my application using C#. My plan was to make the C# objects COM visible and derive from my plug-in interface. I’ve been told that the transition to and from managed code is a very expensive operation and I should limit the transitions as much as possible. This makes sense but I would still like to do things in the most optimal way since there will be no way from the transitions to be eliminated. That said, what would be the optimal way to call C# code from C++ (COM) and C++ code from C# My current plan is to use COM visible interfaces to call C# code C++ and COM connection points to call C++ code from C#. Hi, When you compile with the CLR ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office New Workbook

  Quite possibly a very dumb question - but I think I might not be able to do what I want with VSTO and I need someone to answer. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have one "template" excel file (still an XLS) that opens and does it's thing using VSTO. What I need from there is for that workbook to be saved as an xls with a different filename then we started with, and to start over, do the same thing and save as another xls. I would be opening the The looping and all that is fine - I just don't know if it's possible to open a new excel workbook within VSTO code. HELP! So long as the CAS "Code Access Security" is setup correctly and the document is a Save As so all binary and custo ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't see or access tables through linked server

  Apparently I am doing something wrong and I don't know what! I am needing to link a remote Oracle Server to SQL Server 2005. I have (I think) followed the steps precisely to create the linked server both by code or through the SQL Server Management Studio and I get the same results eith way. I can see the linked server and there are no apparent errors but I can't see or access the tables from Oracle. If I try a Select statement on a table from the linked server I get the error "Msg 208, Level 16, Stat 1, Server {servername}, Line 1 Invalid object name" I am assuming this is a permissions issue but I don't see it. I am an admin on both the SQL Server DB and the Oracle DB with full access and I am using w ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2005 app fails if built on XP Home machine

  I have been developing an application that utilizes .Net remoting as well as some unmanaged code. It is written in C# and uses Windows Forms (no ASP, SQL, etc). I have been building it on an XP Home machine and testing it on multiple XP Pro machines. After a recent enhancement, if the app is built on XP Home and run on XP Home, it locks up the OS requiring a reboot. If that same build is run on an XP Pro system, it silently fails (hangs) but doesn't crash the system. If I build the app on an XP Pro system, I don't have this problem. In attempting to debug this I tracked the code into a thread Start method. Executing the Thread Start crashes the Home system. I admit I am making an assumption about Home vs. Pro but, other than one bein ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to set the language filter in Microsoft Document Explorer?

  I cannot make the language filter in VS 2005 Document Explorer persist. I see other threads complaining about this same problem but no solution. Is this now an acknowledged bug or limitation If so will it be fixed in this release or do we have to wait for .Net 3.0 Well, its now late October 2007 and this is still broken. How long should we be expected to wait for a solution The language filter appears to me to be an important feature of the online documentation. A broken language filter feature should merit more immediate attention. The bugcheck shows this problem has been reported many, many times in many different products that use MSDN to serve up their documentation. Here is but one bug report for thi ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Choppiness of Graphic animations (progressbars, etc.)?

  Its *good for users* to have a ProgressBar Indicator during backups of tables (while they wait for "who-knows-how-long", etc.).

(not just a wait window/Marquee (like Windows startup-progressbar), which leaves the user *hanging* about when its going to finish) Please try to help me (I'll continue researching this and let you-all know if I've found a ProgressBar routine that step-times according to actual bytes being copied) Do you really want to slow VFP down, just so you can sho ...Show All
