• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word 2007 content control event sinking in VSTO

  I am confused on whether (and if) Word 2007 Content Controls will be supported as a first class object in VSTO (similar to how Ranges and Bookmark objects are currently implemented using VSTO against Word 2003). For instance, I can create a Word 2003 template project in VSTO, and hook into the Bookmark events of the template using VSTO code. I am seeking similar functionality in Word 2007 using VSTO, but with Content Controls. At the moment, the only obvious way that I can find to access content control events is using VBA behind the Word template. (I am seeing other posts that refer to the use of "ThisDocument_ContentControlOnExit", but since VSTO SE currently supports Add-ins and not Template projects for Word 2007, I am ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflection and GetMethod when generic parameter

  Hello All, I have a class with the following methods void Sort(int) void Sort<T>(IList<T>) I want to have access to the second one by reflection.

• Visual C# WebBrowser 2005 Document.Selection

  I was using webbrowser.document.selection on a webbrowser control in VS.net 2003, and now I have upgraded to 2005, and the selection object is not there. Is there any easy way to get the selected text from the webbrowser control without having to copy the text to the clipboard Thanks, - Jon Well you can still use the interfaces of MSHTML. There are several options, that include the possibility to search up or down, in the current selection only, match whole word... the works. I will stick to the most basic situation, in which you might need to implement a FindFirst and a FindNext. The two are very similar, with the only difference that the first method will always start from the beginning of t ...Show All

• SQL Server Adding logins via SSEUtil compared to SQL Server Management Studio

  Hello all, I am currently in the process of setting up an SQL Server Express installation that comes packaged with an application I have written. My problem is that I want to use SQL Server user management (not just windows users) which work fine if I set them up manually. I started writing a script that I have SSEUtil execute once the application is fully installed (a step in my installation script) which sets up the users and passwords etc. The script is similar to the following: USE [DBName] GO EXEC sp_DropUser 'user1' EXEC sp_DropUser 'user2' EXEC sp_DropUser 'user3' EXEC sp_DropUser 'user4' GO USE [master] GO EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user1' EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user2' EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user3' EXEC sp_DropLogin 'user4' GO CR ...Show All

• .NET Development Get Ressources of a referenced assembly

  I have an simple assembly A that refernces (linked) another assembly B that includes ressources (png files) that I want to use in assembly A. I included the png images into assembly B just via Visual Studio --> add new item --> build action --> embedd as ressource. When I look into assembly B using .NET refelctor I find the ressource directly under the ressources folder: public resource MyNameSpace.MySubNameSpace.FileFolderName.ImageFileName.png how can I acess this file in assembly A. I suppose I have to use the RessourceManager but I fail to find the correct parameters for its contrsuctors. This is odd, and doesnt really feel like the right way to do it. Why would I have to define a dummy class just t ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server dumping continuously after running SSIS package

  My problem is the following: I've created a SSIS package that will run without any problems in my development environment, but when I move the databases and SSIS packages to another testenvironment it will trigger the SQL Server to dump on every sub-sequent command.

• Windows Forms DataGridViewCell Text Insert Index

  Hi, Looking in particular through both the FormattedValueType and the ValueType objects, I did not see the text index property when a DataGridView cell content is edited. Any Idea where this property could be Regards, Reza Bemanian I am not sure if you can get that from DataGridViewCell. If you are dealing with a TextBox cell and trying to perform operations on the cell while it is being edited, your best bet would be to derive a class from System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewTextBoxEditingControl and associate it to your cell template.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. newb question: do I have to use files to draw textures

  After digging through a few samples and stuff, Im ready to start my first game idea. Obviously my first screen has to be the main menu. I was thinking I would like to dynamically generate the menu. What I would like to be able to make some generic menu classes that can be customized. (aka three options "start", background color is this or that etc....) But this means that Sprintbatch.draw calls wont work because it needs a texture. is there a way to dynamically create a texture rather than using a premade file You dont HAVE to use texture files no, it's just a lot simpler though. The other way is to create textures proceduarally, for more info check on http://gpwiki.org and http://en.wikip ...Show All

• Visual Basic Video Capture in VB.NET possibly using directx directshow

  Hi I'm afraid I'm fairly new to VB, but I've done C++ at uni and did make use of DirectInput, so please bear with me! Basically I am looking to perform video capture from two USB devices using VB.NET. Although I dont need to actually record the video, I just need to display a preview in my application. The preview is to be of one device and the application has to be able to switch between them. Also if possible I need to identify the devices and ensure the application always addresses the correct device even if it is disconnected and reconnected. I'd like to use directx as I'd like the experience, but I'm happy to consider any suitable method. Please let me know if I need to provide any other details. Thanks, Stephen ...Show All
