• .NET Development PDF Creation in C#

  Hi, So far not found the answer to this question when searching. I need to convert a completed MS Word document into a PDF file. Can this be done from within C# code, for example via an API or a command line style call to an external API/Application. I do not want to have any user intervention required during the conversion process. Thanks Andrew If you don't want a commercial solution, check out one of the many Open Source projects... ...Show All

• Visual C# cannot debug any code once it has changed

  Hi, I have just installed Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and all was well. One day later and I can't debug a new project as I get the error: "The following module was built either with optimizations enabled or without debug information" I can create a new command line project and add the following line of code: Console.WriteLine("Test"); This runs fine...no problem. However when I change that line to: Console.WriteLine("Another Test"); I get the above error. I cannot debug any code once it has changed. I've seen some other posts with the same error but no clear solution. I have worked out that when I delete the .exe file from the bin\debug directory it all works again. The code debugs f ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to transfer known types information?

  Hi All, I have a WCF service (let's call it main service). Multiple instances of this service can work on different computers in a network. I have another WCF service (load balancer) which performs load balancing between main service's instances. All clients' requests come to load balancer and are redirected to main service's instances. Load balancer's interface mimics the interface of the main service. But main service(s) also expose dynamic list of serializable types as Known types. These types are visible for load balancer but I need to make them visible for it's clients too. So I need to add them as load balancer's known types. As I said, the list of types is dynamic, I don't know these types in advance. It looks like I ...Show All

• Windows Forms SQLXML as a custom prerequisite

  Hi all, I need to install SQLXML as a custom prerequisite. Can someone point me to a discussion on how to do this I can't seem to find any examples or tutorials or discussions to get me started. Thanx! WNC Sure thing: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/dotNetInstaller.asp Another nice thing is you can modify the source code for this. We include the exe for this in our installation project, and as a post build step, publish this exe as setup.exe, renaming the msi output from the installation project to _setup.msi. The bootstrapper (setup.exe) is configured to run this after it has successfully completed its work. An xml configuration file accompanies the installation to detect and install prereqs as needed.

• SQL Server The best Data Transformation tool to Update/Insert

  Hello, I have some data coming up from an SQL Server source, I have to add it to another SQL Table on the basis of what destination table already have. For instance, if there is already an entry there for particular record (based on matching primary key value), then I just need to updated 3 columns, otherwise need to insert. The problem is, I know how to do it by using script component, but I am wondering if there is a better tool that saves me writing code Any idea Thanks, Fahad slicktop wrote: so if we are talking about a large target table then this method seems like it would be much slower than the alternative.

• .NET Development Decrypt hash

  I have encrypted a string as follows: Dim bytValue() as byte Dim bytHash() as byte bytvalue=System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.getbytes("string") bytHash=SHA1.ComputeHash(bytValue) TempString = convert.ToBase64String(bytHash) TempString is then written to the registry. How do I decrypt TempString to get the original string back I use Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) A hash cannot be decrypted. For example if you use hashing to convert a date to a hash, you cannot get the date back except by using brute force (for practical purpose you can assume that you cannot get original date back). You would use hashing to store a users password. Then when the user wants to login you would convert whatever password the ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Count and display in cell

  Ok I have an Excel workbook that contains a schedule (51 worksheets total). Each cell has intials in it and if that person has taken a day off the cell is highlighted a certain color (yellow, rose, or red).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display Report Viewer Report in Print Layout Mode

  Hello, I have several reports that are generated from the report viewer control in Windows form application.  The reports work good and ultimately display the data as I want to see it. I want to assist the user in printing the reports quicker.  To do so, I would like to eliminate the step where the user would have to click the "Print Layout" button in the report viewer toolbar. As I understand it, this button has a toggle value somewhere.  I just don't know how to access it.  I would imagine that once I know the appropriate name/location of that particular button, I can set the toggle to True or On or whatever after the refresh method and before calling the show method for the report.
