• Windows Forms Setting PowerPoint slideshow as active window over a form

  HI! I'm trying to realize a simple application that loads PowerPoint presentations over a mask, displaying the name of the presentation ad the time passed. The problem is that I can't manage to set PowerPoint slideshow as the active window. This is the code (I omitted what was not important):  Private Sub playerpresentazioni_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Me.Activate() Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized Dim filePath As String = startmenu.DirectoryPath & "PresentationToLoad\" & filePres filePath = Replace(filePath, " ", Chr(32)) Dim returnValue As Boolean returnValue = My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(filePath) ...

• Visual C++ Mysterious dlls referenced in Visual C++ 2005 Project

  Hi - I just ported a VS2003 solution into VS2005 standard edition. It is a C++ solution with 9 project in it. I am running into a problem when I change the project settings for a given project (either by adding a new reference to a library, or by just changing settings) a group of about 10-15 libraries get added as /FU compiler options (which is the compiler option to reference a library). The libraries referenced are libraries that I used to reference in teh VS2003 project, but have since changed. These libraries do NOT appear in the Common Properties->References Page of the Project settings. I can sometimes get them to remove themselves by closing down VS and/or by Unloading, then reloading the Project. But as soon ...Show All

• SQL Server Use an equivalent of ROW_NUMBER() in SSIS package

  Hi, I would like to use an equivalent of ROW_NUMBER() T-SQL function in a SSIS package. I could create a temporary table and use a SQL request with ROW_NUMBER() function but I would like to avoid that and generate this column in the dataflow. Is there an easy way to do that Thanks, Arnaud Gervais. It's exactly the way I've done it : sort the rows by ID then use a script transform task, cache the index and the previous ID value to build each index. It works fine and I thank you for all details you gave me. Arnaud. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Customise "My Site" link text

  My client wishes to change the "My Site" link in the top right of the MOSS portal intranet page to read "My Wanaga" which is in the local language. I've modified all the occurences of "My Site" in the Resources files but this has not changed the text on this link. It uses a control template called MySiteLink.ascx to which I added a Text property in the asp:hyperlink but this had no effect. Using reflector, I found that the MySiteLinkUserControl does use a locale string enumeration entry MultPages_MySite_Label but I then can't find which file the value is set in. Can you modify the My Site link or, will I have to create a new control This seems to be a little bit of a chore, but all I want to ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote access to sql server

  Hi, I use a VS2005 application with a sql database. All is working well over a local network but I now want remote access to the system via the internet. Is this possible I have a fixed IP address & am wondering if I can just use the ip address as part of the connection string (And if so - how!) There are many details steps and security concerns if you want to enable SQL connection to the public internet. SQL server is definitely enabled for such. Can you be more specific If you only want to use IP address to connect to SQL, you can replase the servername in your connection string with the IP addresss. It should work if your IP connectivity is available to the general public internet. For nam ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Add-In problem

  I have developed an add-in for Outlook 2003 with VSTO. I have deployed it on my laptop and it works fine with the exchange server at my company. I have also installed it at my customer, on their network on a computer with a new account in my name. The Add-in works fine and I can read and create new items. I use Cached Exchange Mode. When the Add-In is installed on the sales force's computers the Add-in loads. The problem is that it can't read any items. I still can create new items. If I turn off the Cached Exchange Mode I can read the items but that causes other problems and is not an alternative for my client. They use the same exchange server as I do when the Add-In works using my account on the customer network. Possible causes t ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Which are the limitations of the messenger?

  For example, can I send a message to a user whenever I want, or must I send it after I have received a message from that user, in the IncomingTextMessage event Can I send multiple messages Does the fact that the assembly is in the GAC override those from above Hi, As far as I know adding your assembly to the GAC "works around" security issues, it does not in any way provide you with a better not API to MSN Messenger in any way. Here is an example. Say that you would like to get a stock quote from a web service on the internet and use it in your add-in in some way. If you do not add your assembly to the GAC, as soon as you try to access the web service a security exception will be thrown and yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop spell checking and Office 2007

  Its seems that spell checking is not running even when Office 2007 is installed with proofing options enabled... I tried several misspelling in a sample code and FxCop did not notice it. Is it a compatibility problem between FxCop 1.35 and Office 2007 or is there something special to do to enable the feature Unfortunately, Office 2007 does not redistribute the English spellers that FxCop requires. The next version of FxCop will redistribute these spellers, thereby reducing the need to have Office installed to get the spelling rule working. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How I can run selected test?

  Other than by manually unchecking all other test from test manager. I imagine a nightmare when I will have 800 tests... In TestDriven.NET I had a possiblity to right-click on one test and context manu let me run just this test with or without debugger. It would be nice to have something like that in the future releases... Hi, If you want to do it from test manager window, you can uncheck all tests at the same time by unchecking the "All Loaded Tests" test list. Then you can just check whatever test you're interested in, and run it. You can use the test view window as well (Test | Windows | Test View), where you can right click any test and run it, or just select it and use the Run button f ...Show All
