• Visual Studio Tools for Office JournalItems: Adding Contacts and Companies

  Could someone please post some example code for creating a new JournalItem associated with a Contact   Attempting to set either the ContactNames or Companies properties is seeming to have no effect. We have a large Access database of customers with an associated phone log that we're trying to get into Outlook.  Without the ability to programmatically link Contacts and JournalItems, we are dead in the water! As always, any response is extremely appreciated. Thanks ~ jp It is a known issue, and we all just use the Links collection as of Outlook 2000. The ContactNames property was important and usable only in Outlook 98. It became obsolete in Outlook 2000. Going forward, here is a list ...Show All

I’m using directx SDK 9 with C++ (native) on the Visual C++ to try build a app that loads a mesh created on 3d studio max and manipulate (refresh to be more specific) some points of vertices of the mesh (try imagine my mesh be a cone, and the top of the cone have a point that ’ve coordinates 1,1,0), all the vertices ’re filled on the vertexbuffer, and i want to refresh that coordinates to 2,2,0. The question it’s how i modify the points (vertices) of my mesh (the cone), i tryied just acess the buffer using the lock and unlock, but the points of the buffer dont refresh. Another question, if i load a mesh, and wants use a lot of them i use a array of ver ...Show All

• Visual C# What is the difference b/w running 2.0 web sample by directly pressing F5 key and CTRL+F5 keys?

  Please let me know the difference between running 2.0 web samples by directly pressing F5 key and CTRL+F5 keys. Every time while I run the new web sample if asks both the option like “ Run with out debugging ” & “ Add a web config file with debugging enabled ”. I have a web config file globally in root directory. So I need to disable this option and run all the samples with out debugging. Thanks in advance. Actually, at run time, ASP.NET uses the configuration information provided by the Web.config files in a hierarchical virtual directory structure to compute a collection of configuration settings for each unique URL resource. So, before start it up the web.config knows nothing about it, it is about  IIS se ...Show All

• Visual Basic Ngenning and protecting the code in an image

  I'm writing some code that I want to be secure. I have stored data that I need to be uber secure. It's not a problem to encrypt the data. But the problem is to protect the code that manages the secure data. If I use reflector to dissemble my code, the dissassembly is magnificent and everything is right there. Using a c++ dll is not a solution because I need to call clr functions and once I've done that, the code is wide open to disassembly. Ngenned code is supposed to be dissassemable. But ngenning leaves the original image around, I suppose to activate the code that is placed in the GAC by Ngenning. Microsoft uses ngenned assemblies in their products. VS2005 is installed and then ngenned. But they don't leave disassembable im ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception on Application.Exit()

  Hello, when my application shuts down via Application.Exit() I get a message box with the text ["unknown software exception" 0x80000003 on .....]. In the application I use DirectShow (via directshow.net) and managed DirectX. Besides that I start a tcp listener in a seperate thread but gracefully close it via thread.join(number of milliseconds).

But if you have the code - Run in debug and stop on fir ...Show All

• Visual C++ im sure there's a way to do this

  I have a variable of type long double and i've heard that c++ is accurate up to the fifteenth digit. Well, I'm writing a WIN32 console application and I'd like if I could output this variable to as many digits as possible. I'm sure there's an easy way to format decimal output isn't there the statement cout << variable << endl; only outputs it up to 6 digits, which isn't enough for my purposes. Can anyone help me with this thanks, vicarious cout has a default floating point precision of 6 digit. You can verify this by calling cout<<cout.precision(); You can set the outut streams precision by calling cout.precision(new_val); where new_val is the floating point precision you desired.

• Windows Forms does datagridview.datasource override datagridviewcombobox.datasource?

  Hey Ya'll, I'm wondering if it is possible to set the datagridview.datasource to one datatable and then set the datagridviewcombobox.datasource to another datatable that is not in the same dataset as the first datatable. I've been able to set the datasources to two seperate tables as long as those two tables are in the same dataset, but I'd rather have the two datatables as stand alone data sources and not part of a data set. Is this possible So far I've been unsuccessful. Thanks is advance! Dave OK. So I've answered my own question. It seems I wasn't setting the datagridviewcombobox.datapropertyname to that of the datatable. Now my problem is that the two datasources are disconnected. That is, when the grid datasource is p ...Show All

• Visual Studio SKU011.CAB solution

  Go into Registry Editor (Start, Run, "regedit"). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery. There should be only 1 directory under Delivery, which is your DownloadCode (mine was 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9). Select that directory.
