• Visual Studio Tools for Office Shared Add-in crash outlook

  Hi, I'm building an outlook add-in as shared add-in with vb.net and vsto. The problem is that in unexpected time(eg: while i'm debuging the project) outlook crashes without any messages(not even in event viewer) and does not start again. The 1st time i had to repair .Net framework, this time i can't figure out what is wrong. The only message that i can see(event viewer->ms office sessions) is: Warning:Microsoft Office 12 Sessions ID: 7003 Description: ID: 6, Application Name: Microsoft Office Outlook, Application Version: 12.0.4518.1014, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.4518.1014.

  For those that are interested in seeing the first publically available datagrid product in WPF then check out Xceed's website ( www.xceed.com ). I am not affliated with Xceed at all, by the way!!!

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cant use DLinq Member Methods

  I cant seem to use the new DLinq methods such as ToQueryable() and ToBindingList()... or at least they are not working with Intellisense... am i missing some step in the installation Are the standard query operators working for you If so, I would suspect your installation is set up ok. There are some issues with intellisense and the support is not complete yet (better in VB than C# at this point, but YMMV). It should be better in the final release. It might be helpful if you could share some code so that we can help better. Jim Wooley http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley ...Show All

  Is there any way to transform a sql server DB to and MS Access DB without doing it manually I'm doing .Net program for personal use but someone wants a copy.

Any suggestions what you can do is to create a dts that do this transfer and then ask your programers to call a PROC that will call a job that will execute dtsrun. ...Show All
