• .NET Development ComputerEase ODBC Date Insert/Update problem

  I've been working on a vb.net 2.0 windows app that needs to manipulate a "ComputerEase" database. This database was created in C++ by ComputerEase and they have odbc drivers so that you can link Access (for example) to the applications tables for external reports and applications. http://www.construction-software.com/ I'm working on a .net windows app and can connect no problem with the odbc client and even update and insert except for dates when using .net. (System.Data.ODBC, connection, command, DSN installed by ComputerEase application) They are not very responsive and the updates/inserts work fine in Access (with dates enclosed #9/8/2006# for example). But access does lots of work to match the odbc interface. So.. I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Activity Theme Automatically Loading...Deployment

  All, I am working on a set of custom Workflow activities that I want to apply our colors and theme to, automatically, within VS. My question is how do we deploy our activities so that when developers us our activities, our theme file (wtm) is applied within the VS IDE Currently, we would have to explicitly set the theme in Visual Studio by Right Click in the Workflow->"Select Custom Theme" and specify our theme file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. You can set the Registry keys from where the designer loads which theme to use: Node: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft Corporation\MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005\Visual Studio Ext for Windows Workflow\Workflow Designer\T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Shrinking the File Length

  Hi, I've got a file that I use for storing data as records, now adding records works fine, but what if I want to remove records and reclaim the unused space Is there an easier way to do this other than rewriting the whole file All the examples I've seen actually kill the file and rewrite all the data, this isn't a problem if the file is small, but thinking ahead it may cause a delay if the file is large. If that's the case (flat files), you have to rewrite the whole file (Technically, I think you could rewrite the end of file location using some win32 APIs but I think it'd cause more problems than what it's worth). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is it possible to create plug-ins for Office 2007?

  Are there any easy way to create plugins for Office 2007 Or haven't Microsoft released any SDK for 2007 yet I bought a plugin for Outlook, that does not work correctly in 2007 beta2 (probably because of ribbon), but the plugin is so simple that i think i could write one myself - if i just got an example on how to develope a plugin for outlook 2007.

• Internet Explorer Development Organizing IE7 Toolbars

  What a Horrible experience has been using IE7. First I can't put more bars in the same row as the address bar So I get a incredibly big address bar and loose a lot of screen. Other problem is that toolbars dont stay in the place you put them. They keep moving even if you lock the toolbars. Is this a Primary BUG at IE7 Is there anyway to make IE 7 as useful as IE6 and customize bars the way I want and not the way the developers wanted Thank you in advance for solutions.... Here's the test plan to show how the Google toolbar hijacks the Toolbar layout in IE7 (untested in 6) Start IE7 and unload the Google toolbar (if loaded) and just to be safe, any other third-party toolbars that you have install ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView frustration

  I have been searching for the past couple of days for articles on the CheckBox in a DataGridView and I haven't found anything that is remotely helpful (at least to me). I want to allow the user to check the CheckBox in the first cell of a row. Then, when a button is clicked, I want the app t loop thru the rows in the GridView and when a CheckBox has a value of checked, the code will update the values of two other cells in that row. I hit the "last straw" when I went to this site (MSDN) and thought I had finally found a solution. But nope, the C# example shows how to perform a foreach loop on the rows of a DataGridView control http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewrow(VS.80).aspx So ...Show All
