• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to 'translate' a Dataset into a Table in MS Word

  Does anyone have a code snippet or some example on how to create a table in MS Word that has the contents and schema of a dataset Thanks Currently there is no mechanism for easily doing this. You would need to use the Word OM to resize the table and then populate it. It may help to put XML nodes into the table's cells for easy identification of spots to fill. I wrote an article for VSTO 2003 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/odc_wd2003_ta/html/OfficeVSTO_WordToImportXML.asp that interpreted XML nodes' attributes to populate a table with XML data from a dataset. Unfortunately I did not get to updating it for VSTO 2005. Iouri ---- This posting is provided AS-IS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Features or Bugs in VSTO.

  Are these features or bugs I've found two things that there may be a reason for but I can think of none. 1. If you have a form field in a word document project that has a default value in it. You cannot populate that bookmark in code with a bookmarkname.Text = "AAA" line of code. It gives you an error along the lines of "Out of Range" or something like that. 2. If I am trying to populate a data island from code on a web server. I open the the document file with a file stream and then assign it to a "ServerDocument" class as shown below If File.Exists(BlankDocumentPath) = False Then Return ("File " & BlankDocumentPath & " Does not exist") Exit Function ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Sum of hours using select statement & VBA

  Hi - ok here is my question: I have an activity recording form that records hours logged against a company. I have added a field called 'sumactivityhours' to the table and the form.  what i would like to do is when a user selects a company from the drop down list (thanks derek and duck thing for your fantastic help with that problem) it automatically populates the 'sumactivityhours' field with the total number of hours worked thus far with that company  so that the user can see the total hours and then writes that information into the 'sumactivityhours' field in the table. as i gradually begin to learn a little more about VBA im guessing that i should create an on exit event on the companyname combo box that re ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development .SWF version supported in Windows Media Player?

  Hi, Sorry if this is miscategorized, but I couldn't find a forum specific to Windows Media Player. Does anyone know what versions of Flash .SWF files are supported by the various versions of Windows Media Player (9/10/11) The documentation indicates that .SWF files are supported, but gives no indication of what file version.

• Visual Studio Express Editions progress bar....please help

• Internet Explorer Development asp.net 2.0 application with Master Page does not display properly under ie7

  I have an asp.net 2.0 application which when viewed on internet explorer 7 does not display properly. There is a footer that tends to appear in the middle of the screen, which was previously at the bottom, and also when grids appear and have enough data to scroll down the screen, the footer and the outline of the content page do not move down to accomodate this. I tried some recomendations from the ie7 site, but couldn't get it to work. Also this is specific to one website, others using a similiar setup work fine Any thoughts on where I should look next regarding this I have tried the site in firefox and it experiences the same display issues that I am having with ie 7.

• Smart Device Development Active Sync, Outlook and Mobile 5.0 - Making them work!

  After much trial and tribulation I figured out the problem in syncronizing my computer and smart phone running Outlook and Windows Mobile 5.0. I hope this helps someone else.... 1. Delete Norton Internet Security - COMPLETELY. This is not the first time Norton has foiled me, but it will be the last. I had other problems with Norton when networking, but left it on one of my computers, BAD decision. I now run Trend Micro Internet security and it works great. 2. Disable ALL firewalls EXCEPT windows and make sure it has an exception for Active Sync. 2. Delete all OLD versions on Active sync and download FREE Active Sync 4.2 beta. Thats what got me on track! Good luck. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Readonly PropertyGrid

  Hi, either I'm missing something, or it seems to be inordinately difficult to get a (optionally) readonly property grid. I have an application which, using a propertygrid control, displays the properties of my object. Depending upon the user, they might be able to change those properties. My object has collections within it, exposed as properies (such as "Things"). It would seem that, in order to get a read-only version of my grid, all the objects that expose properties have to implement ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties, return a collection of my own derived PropertyDescriptor, which in turn overrides the "readonly" property. Grrr.. That works, but what a lot of code. Things get messy with my collection p ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Call web service in XAML Browser application

  Dear All, Please guide me how can I use a web service and call its methods in an XAML browser application, I'd be thankful if you can specify a link, resource or even simple sample My webservice is connecting to database and retrives some information from DB. Thanks in advance, Saeideh Use the "Add Web Reference" menu item in Visual Studio instead which doesn't use WCF. That will work in partial trust and your app will have access to site of origin URIs. Also, the -DebugSecurityZoneUrl param is a useful swich to set so you can run the XBAP locally in partial trust and connect to a remote web service without actually deployed from the site of origin. http://msdn2.microso ...Show All

• SQL Server Analysis Services, msmdpump.dll and IIS.

  Hello: I have two servers, one hosting Analysis Services and the other just serves as webserver. I have configured msmdpump.dll on the Analysis Services server succesfully using basic authentication. But now I need the webserver to provide Analysis Services data. I thought that I would be sufficient to repeat on the webserver the same configuration steps that I folowed on the Analysis Services server and change the <ServerName> tag in the msmdpump.ini file to point to the last one. Well, this isn't working. What am I missing Is there any tutorial or resource to accomplished I guess the problem you are having has to do with configuring permissions.

• Windows Forms Adding controls at run-time

  This may sound a bit lame but I am lost. I have a panel and I have placed it to the right of the form. I am going to add a set of LinkLabels at run-time. When I create them, I just changing the .Text property of the labels. I would ideally wish something like this: If I have to create five LinkLabels I would like to see them as 5 separate entities in my Panel, one at each line. I don't know how to manipulate the Location property and I guess that may not be the only solution. Because I don't really know how many labels I have to create till run-time. If I try to add them after creating them, they get overlapped and I just see ONE of them. Thanks for your time! Try something like this: public partial cla ...Show All
