• Visual Studio Tools for Office Using webservices fro infopath forms in MOSS 2007.

  Hi, I am currently working on infopath forms in moss 2007. I need to retrieve and submit data from infopath to a webservice. I am able to do so in the offline mode, but when I publish the infopath form to sharepoint and open the infopath form in browser i receive an error that the form couldnt be submitted successfully. What could be the possible reason for this I have given automatically deterime security level trust setting to the infopath form coz if I give it full trust it cannot be published to the browser.

• Visual Studio PLK for Vista

  We have a project package for VS2005 and it installs fine on Windows 2000 and XP. Now that Vista is available, we tested it there too, but the package fails to install with a message in the activity log stating the the PLK is invalid. Do we need a new key for Vista alone Or is something else different Thanks, Jan Hi Jan, You don't need a new key for Vista. The PLK checking mechanism has nothing to do with the OS that it runs on, so I suspect that your problem is unrelated. Dr. Ex has written a post about how to debug PLK issues here: http://blogs.msdn.com/dr._ex/archive/2006/12/14/debugging-package-load-failures.aspx . I would suggest you take a look to see if there is anything that helps ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA communicating with .Net without registering COM Object

  Hi, We're planning to implement a solution where we have some VBA macros in Excel talking to some .Net code (that does database stuff, etc.) via the magic of .Net COM Interop. In order to make installation of our solution easier, I want to avoid having to register (i.e regasm) my .Net dlls. Note that I can't use VSTO or the PIAs because we need to support Excel 2000 and above. So this is what I'm planning to do: I will have a launcher application written in .Net that will start up an instance of Excel, call Application.Workbook.Open to load my workbook, and then use Application.Run to call a macro in the Workbook. This macro will have a parameter of type object, to which I will pass an instance of the .Net object that I want VBA t ...Show All

• SQL Server Auto Updates for SQL Server?

  Our IT guy insists that he must be present anytime the SQL Server automatic updates from Microsoft are installed on the server or the server will crash. What has he been tinkering with to cause this to happen or is he just giving us a line I don't have any idea. We're assuming he's just feeding us a line but he has an unusual family history (which has us particularly concerned at the moment). Believe me this is not a joke. We are not a Dept. of Defense facility or anything like that but we are just a small business where the owner hired him because of his computer knowledge (but does know his background). Now the owner is concerned this is coming back to bite him if we can't figure out why he needs to be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Playing (avi) video's in XNA?

  I would like to play a little into-video before my game starts, its simple and small and it's an avi (though I could easily change its format), how do I play it with XNA MDX used to have AudioVideo playback, but I can't find that in XNA. my thought would be, if you want it to work on xbox, you're going to have to write your own content importer for the avi file itself. then manually extract each frame of the avi and sync up your framerate to match the framerate of the avi, playing one frame of avi per game frame. that's the abstract thought i have about it... though in practice, i haven't the foggiest! ...Show All

• Visual C# Go to class member quickly using keyboard only

  I'm migrating to VS 2005 (C#). Up to now I've been using VS 2003 with Resharper. I see VS 2005 now implements many of ReSharper "goodies" (refactor, rename, add 'using' etc). However I still can't go to a class member quickly using keyboard only. E.g. in ReSharper (VS 2003) I'd press a shortcut which would display "file structure", then a member would get selected as I type letters it starts with, hit enter and I'm in the member. Long time ago (VS 97/VC++ 5.5 I think), "Class Members" combo box (VC++ editor) were "trackable" (i.e. selection would position on the member starting with the letters type) and one could assign shortcut to expand/focus on members combo box. It's long not the case a ...Show All

• .NET Development bytecode verification in a single forward-pass

  ECMA for CLR claims that "It shall be possible, with a single forward-pass through the CIL instruction stream for any method, to infer the exact state of the evaluation stack at every instruction" In other words, it shall be possible to perform bytecode verification in a single forward-pass. To make that possible , ECMA requires that "if that single-pass analysis arrives at an instruction, call it location X, that immediately follows an unconditional branch, and where X is not the target of an earlier branch instruction, then the state of the evaluation stack at X shall be empty." On the other hand, ECMA claims that it "simulates all control flow paths". I don't get how this simulation of all paths i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista FileNotFoundException in GetWorkflowDefinition

• Windows Forms How do I validate an dataviewgrid and also allow canceling?

  I have a datagridview that I'm letting users enter data into. It is unbound...well it is bound to a datatable I create when the form loads. I want to validate the cells. I used cellvalidateing to check for length, if empty, etc. Seemed to work fine. Until I tried to press the cancel button on the form to close the form. I could not leave the datacell. Is there a way to cancel the validating when a certain button is pressed Is there another way I should be validating Does anyone have examples Thanks. The problem is that the cellvalidating event fires first no matter what. So the button press event doe not fire until after. I use the cancel property to say tell if the validation failed. I'm assuming there has to be another way to va ...Show All
