• Visual Studio Tools for Office Feasibility: outlook aggregator emails

  Based on past limitations of the outlook programming model, I wanted to first check on the possibility for something before perusing the documentation: I was wondering about the ability to enumerate outlook 2003 messages such that email addresses can be used to create personal folders where messages will be moved. In other words, an automatic personal folder creator based on a repetetive emails. In addition, ide like to create rules automatically for this process. Is this already done Or is it not possible Thanks in advance. You would use not rules but an add-in to perform that functionality. No problem with Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. Start with the Application.NewMailEx event. ...Show All

• SQL Server Unique Messages In a Queue

  Is there a way to make sure that messages in a queue are unique I'm already checking the queue before I insert the message and it works fine when I have one server updating the queue. But in our production environment, I have multiple application servers that will update the queue. It doesn't happen often but I am getting duplicate messages in the queue. Is there a trigger or constraint on the queue that I can use Thanks Trish ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tools one upon the other?

  Using Visual C++ 2005 EE, in a small C++ program using Media Player (as a tool) I play short movies from AVI files. Since Media Player does not take input from a camera I would like to show the input of a PC camera in a PictureBox positioned over the area of the Media Player in order to show either an AVI file or the camera input depending on a button-press. What would be the correct way to do the above Are there any examples that positions two tools one upon the other Thanks for any guidance or design idea. In your form designer, create one control of type, make them the same size, and put them in the same location on the form. When your form starts, it should pick one to be the default and hide the othe ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Password question

  Quick question regarding passwords in VBA I have created a form that requires the user to enter a password. It works fine but I dont want it to display the actual characters that the user is typing, I want it to display bullets. Any suggestions Thanks a lot! I have a feeling you're going to get a reply from one of the moderators re: VBA... Something along the lines of "This forum is for VB .NET" and pointing you to the VBA forums... If you are actually working in .NET, just set the behavior property "Password Char" for that field to whatever you want displayed (*, etc.). ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development xpath

  1) Where this xpath variable set by document.setXPathVariable() API will actually store Is it will reside in DOM Tree or in XPath processor 2) Whether Additional XPath functions (spec 7.5.2.4.2) like ns:name(), class(), GPRM(), SPRM() will work only in document (from markup) or for any other user document(from parse() or parseString()) Is this a question for how to write a player It doesn't matter where you store the XPath variables, as long as they are accessible both via script and markup. I am pretty sure the additional features only work for the markup document, not random XML documents. ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Intellisense support in VS2005 and Designer for Feb 2007 CTP

  Couple of questions. Firstly, is there a visual designer available for VS2005 for WPF/E, or do we have to hand code all the xaml Secondly, I am also getting partial support for intellisense with WPF/E. The wpfe.xsd is present in the VS schemas folder, and the properties for the xaml file have the two schemas wpfe.xsd and xaml2006.xsd. I seem get intellisense for the wpfe portion of the schema, but not for xaml2006 For example, with the following xaml < Canvas xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007 " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " Loaded = " javascript:root_Loaded " > < Canvas x:Name = " button " > ... </ Canvas > & ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Debug rules?

  Actually I would love to know how you can debug the rules. Can you see which rules are pending and which rules are fired Can you set break points on the condition or action part in the CodeDom You can use Tracing and Tracking to debug rules. You cannot set breakpoints on the actions / conditions in WF V1, but you can use System.Diagnostics tracing and WF Tracking to get better visibility into rules execution. Moustafa has a nice write up on his blog about this - http://blogs.msdn.com/moustafa/archive/2006/08/05/689776.aspx . Scott Allen's book on WF also has a chapter on rules that talks about tracing and tracking. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Determining if a build configuration is set up to include DEBUG info

  I have build listeners that perform some actions before a build is performed. I would liketo be able to determine if the project that is being built is going to include DEBUG information with the dll. Simply checking to see if the active configuration name == debug is not sufficient for my needs. Is there a way to access this information from the automation model I think that this information should be stored in Configuration configuration = proj.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration; configuration.Properties But I cant seem to find an enumeration of these properties... Am I looking in the right place Does anyone have any info on this THanks a lot Russ The names are defined in interfaces declared in VSLangProj ...Show All

• SQL Server Issue with SQL Parameter when used with % character.

  Hi all, is there a known issue when using a SQL Paramater in a SQL string that uses a '%' character for wildcard string searches For example, if I used the following... SQLCeParameter pKeyword = new SQLCeParameter("@Keyword", SQLDbType.Char); pKeyword.value = "Some Text"; string strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Keywords WHERE (Keyword = @Keyword%)"; This just never returns and results. But if I run the query in a query analyser window replacing the @Keyword% with "Some Text", I get results. I guessing that the placing of the character '%' in the string is the cause maybe... try putting the % in the string... pKeyword.value = "Some Text%"; ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to detect accesses to unallocated memory?

  I am looking for a free library to help find memory related bugs, such as memory leaks and accesses to unallocated memory. my code uses new/delete, and I don't want to change it so ideally I'd like something that could print errors (most of the time) when I do something like this. int* intptr = new int[2]; intptr[100]=5; intptr[2]=5; I've tried FORTIFY but it didn't work on that example above Can anyone recommend me a good library or a profiler sort of thing (like valgrind) that can do this reasonably well on windows I heard that there are some tools from GNU, but I never was able to find anything that works with Microsoft compiler. I almost forgot - take a look at MFC's implementation of new/delete usin ...Show All

• SQL Server How to access Output (Inserted.ColName) from client application ?

  I am using SQL Express 2005 and VB .net Express. Question 1: How can I get the result stored in Inserted.ColName (by Output clause of insert command).

Question 2: How to store Inserted.ColName into local variable when insert command is running in stored procedure.: Hi Jens, There is no problem. I asked because it is not documented in books on-line (may be, but I don't found). Thanks for your response. ...Show All
