• Visual Studio How to reset all menus and toolbars that were created by my addin

  I have addin and want to delete all current toolbars and recreate my new toolbars. How can I do that I checked your suggestions. However they do not work. The problem is that I create submenus in some menus (Tools for example). When VS tries to setup it do not delete submenus. So that I left my sub menus after uninstallation. I fixed this problem in following way. I've created command that deletes my command bars (in my case submenus) and I call it during uninstallation. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there a problem with the DelayActivity with Sequential workflows?

  If I enable my DelayActivity at the bottom of a SequenceActivity inside a WhileActivity, It doesn't continue back to the top of the loop. If I disable the DelayActivity it works, but of course doesn't wait between Activities. I have a timespan set to 00:00:01... I've tried 00:00:05, and 00:01:00 i.e. SequentialWorkflow structure looks like this...

• Visual C# C# and SQL Query

  Ok... Ive started learning C#. I have loaded a datasource odbc connection and dropped 1 of my tables onto my form. Now I also have a textbox and button on my form. The text box takes the current date and converts it to excel serial date and stores that into a variable 'serial'. Now I need to make a query on my table. I can create a query comparing 2 columns without a problem. My problem is that I cannot use my variable 'serial' in my query. Here is what it looks like: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE WHERE TranDetail.EndDateTime = TranHeader.EndDateTime AND (TranDetail.EndDateTime >= @serial) I am using the query builder. I cannot get the TranDetail.EndDateTime >= @serial to work.

  I have an application that is distributed with click-once. One of my users already makes use of it for quite some time without any problems.

• Visual C++ BITMAP pixel information

  Hi, I need to get pixel by pixel color information from a bitmap, how can I do that, I'm new in Visual C++ 2005 so I don't have an idea on how to do this. Any advice would be great! Thanks! You cannot select a bitmap into a device DC (the one returned by GetDC or GetWindowDC). You need to create a memory dc for this: CDC* pDC = GetDC(); HBITMAP hBitmap = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, "D:\\Visual Studio 2005\\Pruebas\\PruebaCLR\\superman.bmp", IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION | LR_DEFAULTSIZE); CBitmap myBmp; myBmp.Attach(hBitmap); BITMAP bm; myBmp.GetBitmap(&bm); CDC memDC; memDC.CreateCompatibleDC(pDC); HBITMAP hOldBitmap =(HBITMAP) dc.SelectObje ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflows vs. ThreadPool

  As I understand it, there is one thread allocated to each workflow instance that is loaded & running. And you can adjust the size of the ThreadPool that these threads are allocated from. What happens when the number of loaded & running workflows exceeds the number threads available from the pool Say I have set the ThreadPool to have 100 threads available and I have 100 workflows running which will never go idle. When that 101st workflow kicks off, what should happen Will the 101st workflow execute at all How does the WF runtime handle this Thanks, Matt Thanks Jon. That's what I wanted to know. Is that something I can have control over with the manual workflow scheduler service And i ...Show All

• SQL Server INSERT INTO table From EXEC -

  Hello, How can I insert values from a query directly to a table in my database the query gets values from a linked server and i want to directly insert the results in my local database. This is how i thought would be done: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_INSERTfromEXEC AS BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo.mytable EXEC dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer END When i execute dboSP_INSERTfromEXEC procedure, then i get this error: The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "blahblah" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. Now, when I execute dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer procedure, i do get the values, there is no error. It just doesn't want to insert it I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...Show All

• SQL Server New version of MSSQL CE RC1

  I noticed the new date on the download page for RC1 of MSSQL CE. I downloaded it and compared it to the last one (I think it was maybe dated 11/17/06 ) and found there are differences between the 2 msi files. That leads me to some questions: 1. What has changed with this latest RC1 release Any fixes that would make this a "required" download 2. Can I get away with just uninstalling the old MSSQL CE RC1 and reinstalling the new one i.e. without having to go through all of the other prerequisite, exacting steps required to get MSSQL CE working with VS.NET. 3. Why wouldn't this new file be named RC2 Slipstream releases are never a good idea, as they just add confusion. Thanks for any input. Dan ...Show All
