• Smart Device Development WM_RASDIALEVENTdoesn't seem to be working

  I am having trouble getting the callback interface for the RasDial function to work. My Dialog box calls the RasDial function from a Button Click Event handler, as follows: hRasConn = NULL; memset (&m_RasDialParams, 0, sizeof (RASDIALPARAMS)); m_RasDialParams.dwSize = sizeof (RASDIALPARAMS); m_RasDialParams.szPhoneNumber[0] = TEXT( '\0' ); // use the phone number from the Ras Named Entry m_RasDialParams.szCallbackNumber[0] = TEXT( '\0' ); StringCbCopy(m_RasDialParams.szEntryName, sizeof (m_RasDialParams.szEntryName),m_szRasEntryName); StringCbCopy(m_RasDialParams.szUserName, sizeof (m_RasDialParams.szUserName),m_szUserName); //This is optional StringCbCopy(m_RasDialParams.szPassword, sizeof (m_RasDia ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom Project Item Templates

  Hello everyone, I am developing a new project wizard, and from it I am trying to use an existing project item from a template I created that is working fine. The problem I have is when I call GetProjectItemTemplate from the solution2 object, I get: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) So, I started testing some things, and replaced my call for the custom template with a call to a microsoft supplied template, class.zip: string classTemplate = soln2.GetProjectItemTemplate("class", " csharp" ); I found that this works just fine. However, if i replace "class" with another microsoft supplied template, Form for instance: string classTemplate = soln2. ...Show All

It is implemented as Star topology or re-publisher topology with the publisher and the subscriber configured on SQL Server 2000 and it consists of ShareDB on SQL Server 2005 which acts as the re-publisher of data. All other databases publish articles to ShareDB which in turn re-publishes to the databases which subscribes for the article. The topology is using a remote distributor on SQL Server 2005 to offload the replication agent jobs processing from the OLTP environment. The distributor job agent is running continuously and it is shared for a specific ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How can I copy range's style to another in Excel?

  Hi everybody, I have a problum that I selected a range on Excel worksheet, and inserted another range on the same worksheet, now I wanna copy the selected range's style to the inserted one, I use insertedRange.Style = selectedRange.Style; or insertedRange.Cells.Style = selectedRange.Cells.Style; both of the two works not correctly, what is the mistake This appears to be more an Excel object model question than a VSTO question, so it might be better to ask in the Excel-specific group. When you do ask, you should describe exactly HOW it doesn't work. FWIW, from a quick scan of the Excel UI and VBA Help files, I'm guessing you might have to first create the style you want to copy (assign a style name to the formatt ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Inconsistent behavior with an extension reading Cookies on Windows Vista

  My toolbar a.k.a. extension has to take different behavior depending on whether you are logged into our website or not. Pre-Vista, we were able to check the existence of the cookie without any problems. If you tried an action that required authentication without being logged in, the toolbar opened a dialog (which is a windows form with a web browser control) pointing to our authentication page. Once you logged in there, the toolbar continued on its merry way. On Windows Vista, however, it doesn't quite work this way. Only after I physically navigate to the website and log in does the toolbar read the cookie correctly. Trying to authenticate "on-the-fly" by popping up the dialog does not result in a cookie being stored where the t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2005 Solution in Word-Template doesn't opens in 2007 Word

  I have a VSTO 2005 Word Template with an attached XML-Schema which is distributed over several files. The template contains tables and nested tables. The table cells contain the data within XML-Nodes. The VSTO-Solution opens in Word 2003. In 2007 Word the template opens but not the VSTO-Solution, an error "This Action is not valid outside of a block--level XML element." occurs, followed by a "Office document customization is not available.". If I remove the XML-Nodes and insert them at the beginning of the document, in front of the tables, the VSTO solution opens in 2007, that means, my security configurations and the solution-entry in the document-properties are correct. On the other hand, if I let the XML-Nod ...Show All
