• Visual Studio Tools for Office Accessing ThisDocument from outside using Word Object Model

  Hello, Is there a way to access ThisDocument's methods and props from outside, e.g. from a Word VBA macro. Thanks, Andrew Hi Doug, I use reflection. I host Word documents in my own application (a .NET WinForm app) and I need to access ThisDocument from my managed host app. In fact I already do that using ComAddin.put_Object as a bag to exchange data. I could use document's custom properties, but they're by-value storage, not by-ref. Is there a niceir way Thanks, Andrew. ...Show All

• SQL Server Evaluate as an expression

  I have just been brought in a project that is a huge mess....They have specked this project to allow for a user to create ad hoc calculated expressions using tags of data that are supplied by another system. This sort of looks like this ID | Formula | A | B | C | D | 1 A + B + C 1 2 3 4 2 C - D + A 1 2 4 2 3 D - A + 1 4 2 6 8 They want to then evaluate the formula expression using the corresponding column-row values to arrive at a value. As of right now I am a bit lost on how to do this, does anyone have any ideas Thanks! Josh Rogers Josh: I know your pain; let me see what I can do to help. What to remember is to do the best you can to be an agent of change; change is the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom form transparency problem

  Hi, I tried to use the method mentioned here but I experienced the following: I have a background bmp file and it has rounded edges with different colors at the edges of the image (the edges are red). I set the TransparencyKey to red but they were still visible. Then I found two articles. The first claims that when one uses screen color depth higher than 16-bit, the transparencykey property stops to work. (The article is dated about 2002 and uses .Net FW 1.1). I found another on here (watch the last image inscription). The second one is a bug: when the DoubleBuffer property set to true, the transparencykey won't work, either. Here is this article. My application uses Do ...Show All

• Visual C++ _findfirst, _findnext and _stat problem

  Hi, One part of my application opens up a set of files using _findfirst, _findnext and _stat to see their current date using VC++ 2005. This code has been working fine and noone had any problems. However now I got a request from a user saying some of his files were dated year 1617 and that the application crashed. The crash address indicates that it happens within the CRT code of these functions but due to the circumstances I don't know (yet) which of them. The exception code given is 0xc000000d. For now the user removed the broken files and everything went back to a working state. I however tried to see if I used the functions in a wrong way and did not use the right error returncodes. However after verifying by documentation eve ...Show All

• SQL Server Sproc sorting on float column: works in 2005, not in 2000

  Hi Everyone- I inherited this client's app, which is a .NET 2.0 app running under SQL Server 2000 in a shared hosting environment. I am having problems using an ORDER BY clause on the main search stored procedure in that it will properly sort results in SQL Server 2005 on my dev server, but not in 2000 on the production server. In 2000, it seems to be somewhat random, where everyone once in awhile a result that is out of numerical sequence will sneak in. The column on which I am trying to sort is a float column called SquareFoot. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the stored procedure below that might be causing this This is an existing stored procedure to which I added in the ORDER BY clause. I should note that .NET/SQL Server ...Show All

• Windows Forms Allow user to enter null value in numeric field

  I have a VB .Net Windows form that uses a strongly typed dataset. There is a text box on the form that is used to enter a numeric value. By default this value is <DBNull>. The users want to be able to clear entered values and replace them with a Null value. 0 is viewed as a legitimate value, so the value must be nulled out to indicate the value is not known. If I clear the textbox contents by using backspace, I am not allowed to exit the textbox on the windows form until a valid numeric value is entered in the field. How do I allow users to backspace or delete entered numeric values and save the new value as being null to the SQL Server database Thanks! You may process the characters user enter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Odd request, but I could use help..

  Okay, this is going to sound very STRANGE! But I seriously need help getting my school work done, and this is like the only way I can think of doing it. My questions are: 1: Is it possible to have C# prevent certain programs (i.e. World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, etc.) from opening until a password is put into a password box 2: How I wouldn't be asking this, but I seriously need to get some home work done (I have like... 7 days to do a lot of essays) and I keep getting distracted by the games that are on my computer (I would uninstall them, but there are others who use this computer as well, so I can't do that.) Otherwise, you can do it no C# way. Just to set password of the folder for specific account user such as you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless merge No Content changes not auto merging...

  We are trying to do a baseless merge and the conflict resolution comes up and when we select a file that has not conflicts it is not giving us any auto merge option. If we try to do the auto merge all, it fails because it says we cannot merge them because the two files have changes but we verified that they don't. Now if this was one file it would be no big deal but we are talking about thousands of files and there is no way we are going to resolve each file manually....if this is how baseless merging works, how useful is it  Also, when I execute "tf resolve /auto:acceptmerge" I get the following error TF10010: Source control unexpectedly encountered the end of the stream: The char acter was incomplete at stream offset 3841. ...Show All
