• Visual Studio File versions related to a label

  I am trying to get the numeric version number (number of times the file has been modified) of the files associated with a particular label. A requirement of our project is to know the numeric version number of all source files in a particular "Version". We used to use CMS on a VAX Station and the output looked like this Files in version "1.3": file1.c (3) , file2.c (12), file3.c (1) This information is what we still need. The numbers in the parethesis are the numeric count for the number of times the file has been modified. I can see the data (would have to parse the text file output and pull out what I need) on each file under the history option using the FROM and TO fields, but I have > 900 source files, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need help developing a COM Add-in for Word(Office XP)

  Hi all, I created a "Shared Add-in" project in Visual Studio .NET 2005 and tried to develop a simple hello world COM add-in for Word. After created the project, it automatically generated another setup project and this is good. Then I added a reference to the Word Interop Assembly in the Add-in project and confirmed that the DLL file actually references to assembly in windows\assembly folder. Since I just want to make sure that Word can connect to this COM Add-in, I simply added a statement MsgBox("hello world.") to every event that appears in the default Connect class. Then I built both the add-in project and the setup project and right-clicked on the setup project and selected "Install" to install the add ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Searching multiple of Excel Files via Visual Basic

  I am writing a program that has to search through a multitude of excel files (42 to be exact). In each of these files I am searching for the same exact string. After finding the string I have to grab 2 more columns of data. This data will then be placed in a seperate workbook. I was wondering what the fastest method of roaming through these 42 files would be and what the code would look like to go through each workbook I know how to open individual workbooks, I just didn't know if there was an easy way to go through all the workbook files without writing a string for each one. The program WILL go through every file each time. Thanks in advance for your help. Private Sub entityButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No changes to merge message

  I'm trying to merge a branch back into the source it came from and Team Foundation Server is telling me, "No changes to merge". If I compare a file I know is different between the branch and source it shows many differences. Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone know why TFS would say, "No changes to merge" yet show differences between files Thanks! Chris No. Having that be the default behavior would be very annoying, obviously. If you want to re-merge something you've already merged, you need to use the /force option. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting list of all dependency/attached properties of an Object

  In Visual Studio, in the XAML view when we add a element tag say <Rectangle...> and hit the spacebar, we get a list of all the attached properties and dependency properties of the object. (For e.g. Canvas.Left). How can this be achieved through procedural code I tried using Reflection (on a Rectangle object in above case) but it did not help. Thanks, Niranjan Hi Josh, Thanks for the response. Here is my specific requirement - In my logical tree, I want the user to be able to provide any object name and any property name on that object as string inputs. Based on these inputs, I need to set a value on that property for that object (more specifically I want to set a bi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WPD Api Sample failing to return Device Count

  Hi Experts, I am having an issue with the WPD Api sample provided with Windows Vista SDK and I am running the application in Windows XP. I am trying to identify a WIA device via the IPortableDeviceManager interface. I tried with IWIADeviceManager interface earlier but switched to the former since thumbnail full path method calls were not returning proper results. I could compile the WPD Api Sample workspace and could successfully register the Interface, IPortableDeviceManager interface, but the same returns 0 devices when i call: hr = pPortableDeviceManager->GetDevices(NULL, &cPnPDeviceIDs); I have connected the camera in PTP mode and not in USB mode. Any ideas or hints on why this is happening Or is there a ...Show All
