• Visual Studio Tools for Office Using AxSpreadsheet

  I have managed to add MS Office Spreadsheet 9.0 to the toolbox and added the spreadsheet to a form but I don't know how to dimension (Dim statement in VB) the various components required to program the contents and formats of the cells and ranges etc within the spreadsheet. Hi Matt You're getting a typical "no one is responsible for this" run-around, here. The programming language folks see "Office" and their knee-jerk reaction is to sent you to the VSTO forum, although VSTO is a very specific technology. And VSTO moderators send people to the application newsgroups, even though those groups are VBA-oriented. Truth is, there really isn't one single place that teaches .NET folks how to aut ...Show All

• .NET Development Running multiple frameworks...

  We are currently developing asp.net applications in the 1.1 framework, but I want to get my company to make the move to 2.0. But our server guys are saying that they have major concerns running 1.1 asp apps along side 2.0 apps. So much so that they think the only way forward is to run the new 2.0 app (which I want to develop) on to a seperate production server. There issue is that if 1.1 apps and 2.0 apps are running together then the servers performance will suffer due to running multiple frameworks. Is there any truth in this I suspect not, but I need to find some more information on the subject ahead of a meeting I will be having with them next week. Can anyone help and shed some light on the matter. ...Show All

• .NET Development ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Open, Fetching

   cmd.ExecuteReader Run-time exception thrown : System.InvalidOperationException - ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Open, Fetching.  I'm having a issue with my program. My application does a search first, then the user has the ability to edit the search results. So first a datareader is created and the ExecuteReader is called and you know the rest. Then once the user is ready to submit their changes and executeNonquery is called and you know the rest. The code fails at cmd.exectuenonquery line.

• Visual C# compile incompatibility: "/mt" and "clr"

  I am trying to write a C++ wrapper for my Csharp code -- essentially to go from "unmanaged" to "managed" code. I used some samples on the internet as a basis but have hit some issues when compiling in Release mode v. Debug mode.... It works fine in Debug mode ! It fails in Release mode : " D8016 " /clr and /mt are incompatible (etc.) I am using VS2005 and it seems like some things have changed with respect to the "clr" compile switch. It's frustrating because it works when compiled in debug mode. I have tried everything to resolve the compatibility issue, but it seems like VS2005 just overrides the options at run time and forces "/mt" on me (even though I change it to "/md&q ...Show All

• Visual Basic Any easy way to print a "large" form?

  I've got a VB application that has a number of 1280x1024 forms. I'd like to be able to implement a "print screen" function. I tried the PrintForm Power Pack, (Form.Print), but I only get about 80% of the form, so the form must be too big for a single page (other threads say this is all PrintForm can handle). If I capture the form (via Print Screen), and suck it into Paint, it also is 2 pages, but there is a print option to scale it to 1 page, which worked. So, is there any simple way to make this work And, no, the printer won't take 11x17 paper! thanks... Hi jptrt, PrintForm component cannot scale and print the form as one page at this version. And I do not see an easy way to work around ei ...Show All

  I have a DataView that contains two rows, and contains only one column called Name. The data is shown below: 1% Potassium Sulfate Solution 10% Hydrogen Peroxide We have implemented a search functionality on the DataView by using the RowFilter property. But I also need to be able to filter by the percent sign, which is a special character in the RowFilter property. I want to be able to search '*1%*' on the Name column so that only the 1st row is returned. But I am having problems properly escaping the % sign. I have tried RowFilter = "Name LIKE '*1%*'" but this returns both rows RowFilter = "Name LIKE '*1\%*'" but this throws a syntax error of "unrecognized escape sequence" RowFilter = " ...Show All
