• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Error with Excel Application Object

  Hello ladies and gentlmen, this is a very specific error I'm dealing with, and one of the stranger ones I've run across. First of all, I am attempting to open an excel file from MS Access using an Excel Application Object. If Excel is not open, the file will open fine. If Excel is open and there is no workbook open, the file will open fine. If Excel is open and there is a workbook open, then the file will not open. Here is the code I'm using. Set appExcel = GetObject(strFilePath & strFolder & "\" & strFileName) appExcel.Application.Visible = True If blnIsWorkbookOpen(strFileName) = True Then appExcel.Application.Workbooks.Open strFilePath & strFolder & "\" & strFileName ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Invisible DIV over pushpin

  I'm trying to use custom pushpins with my own popup which is a DIV tag with details in it. I'd like to mimic the effect of mouseover the pushpin and have the popup(DIV) disappear. I read someone's suggestion re: placing an invisible div over the pushpin that has been clicked That way I can hide the DIV with the details when the user does mouseout over the invisible div on the pushpin. I have the x, y coordinates of the pushpin, but the DIV placement is relative to the window, right I'm confused on how to associate the DIV placement to the x, y coordinates on the map, and to adjust accordingly. thanks in advance.

• SQL Server What should the maintenance plans be on your mirror server?

  If your principal fails and your mirror assumes the main role and it is in Full recovery mode (which it has to be in Standard edition), then the log files will grow and grow until a transaction backup and shrink is executed. I have maintenance plans running daily (and hourly for transaction log backup/shrink) on my principal, but nothing on my mirror. Do I need to set up the same maintenance plans on my mirror server Thanks Ed Thanks for the reply, Mike I think I do understand the terminology (I know mirroring is done on database level, not instance) My question wasn't exactly answered (since I stated we won't purchase Enterprise version SQL, other than for Business Intelligence server), but a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Automatic Namespace generation in VB

  I've just finished a dll written in VB. I've never bothered with namespaces much until now, but this is a bit complex, so I've arranged it into sub-folders, with a top-level class, a few sub-classes (and base classes), and other classes that hang off some of the sub-classes. Every class has the same "Namespace Handler" around it. Looks garbage in the object viewer - every class is under the root namespace. When using the object however, it looks fine, i.e. you only see the correct sub-sub-classes hanging off the correct sub-classes, etc. However, one of my colleagues who talks C# had a look at my code, and commented that my namespaces were not declared properly, then we discovered that when coding in C#, the namespace line wer ...Show All

  For .Net FW2.0, I can detect the changes on datagridview by subscibe the event "RowAdded","RowRemoved","CellValidated".

• SQL Server The product level is insufficient for component

  We are trying to run SSIS DTSX packages from a VB.Net 2005 application and we get this error : The product level is insufficient for component. The server is SQL 2005, the clients (for which the VB application is run from) have SQL 2005 Client tools (since there are running XP). I know this is a known issue, as SP1 corrected the import/export problem in Management Studio, can we expect a similar fix when using SSIS locally on a client's machine via a VB.Net application and SQLServer 2005 assemblies We are currently in the process of migrating our VB.Net 2003/ SQL2000 applications to VB.Net 2005/ SQL2005 and do not want to change the way we process our data, as we expected 2005 version to have the same functionality as 2003.

• .NET Development How do I test whether I have permission to read a file?

  I am trying to test whether I have the ability to read a specific file, without actually reading the file or any exceptions being generated. I'm looking for the equivalent of the -r operator in shell script or Perl. File.GetAccessControl() doesn't meet my needs, as it requires permissions to get the access control list, and provides no simple way to determine what permissions the current user has to the file. Thanks, Kevin either way, most likely you would get a security exception simply because it needs to query the file for whatever it needs to do and if it doesnt have permission, you would get the unauthorized/security exception ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Setting CurrentThread.CurrentCulture From Browser Creates Bad Japanese In Excel Document Created Using PIA

  I'm having a problem where an .NET 2.0 web application server is not correctly writing Japanese text into cells in an Excel worksheet object. Googling highlighted some MSDN Library articles that were helpful in pointing me in the right direction (specifically "Creating Excel Solutions for Use in Multiple Countries/Regions Using Visual Studio Tools for Office" for Office 2003 / VS 2005), but I was wondering why it only occurs in certain circumstances. We have 2 applications which support changing of the UI language from the browser, and creating an Excel document with selected data in various languages that can be downloaded. Both servers have English OS + English Excel, with the Japanese language packs installed and set to ...Show All
