• Visual Studio Tools for Office Strange behavior: RichTextBox

  Hi, I am creating a .doc with VSTO2005. My document contains several Controls such as Buttons, RichTextBoxes, ComboBoxes, etc. which are generated at runtime. In some cases, I encounter the problem that a RichTextBox doesn't display the content (text) it should, but only displays a big red cross like this: \   /   \ /   \ When I click into the RichTextBox field (with the red cross in it), the following, weird message appears: “Windows Forms controls have been disabled because the document has been scaled. When zoom is returned to 100%, controls will reactivate.” But actually the zoom of the document hasn’t changed at all! Has anyone already encountered this problem Thanks fo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Strings

  I have experience in Java and the use of strings, and wondered how to use them (if possible) in Visual c++. Is it something to do with LPSTR Could you point me to an introuductionary article or somethign please Mike I largely agree with einaros. If you come from Java, you're in for quite a shock when you start dealing with strings in C++. It is a mess. There's char*, wchar_t*, std::string, std::wstring, BSTR, OLESTR, _bstr_t, CString, System::String, strcpy_s. And some others I probably didn't think of. Like tchar.h, MBCS, Unicode, UTF8, UCS16, BigEndian, System::Text::Encoding . This happened because the basic "C" char* is deeply flawed and everybody and his grandmother came u ...Show All

• .NET Development Target the Framework version and Redirect Assembly Bindings from 2.0 to 1.1

  Dear all, I have encountered a problem of "DragDrop registration failed" problem in my .NET 1.1 dll because of the assembly binding is always going to .NET 2.0. (I realized the related attribute [STAThread], however, there's no Main() in my C# libraries) Therefore I tried to specifiy the runtime version and redirect those bindings in MyModule.dll.config. The binded assemblies, however, are still in .NET 2.0, according to both VS.NET 2003's output log and VS.NET 2005's fuslogvw. Meanwhile, they also logged compiling and linking processes. At that stage, linked assemblies are in version 1.1 correctly. My question is, does it means that configurations of runtime version and assembly binding redirection do not work backwa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Check-in problem

  We noticed today a strange behaviour on check-in. On a workstation we changed a C# file, and then checked it in using the pending checkin window. We noticed we couldn't get it down on another workstation(different user), and checked the history of the file. The check in was NOT listed, but in the solution explorer the file appeared as checked in on the first workstation. We did a checkout again on the same workstation, and the file was not changed, that is - our changes was intact. We then checked it in from the Soultion Explorer window, and again checked the history - this time the check-in appeared. Is this anything known Next time it happens, you can verify whether the changeset is created ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I convert this c# code into a regular expression?

  I'm trying to create a "path validation method" to check if a string can be used as a valid path in my program. The path must contain an indication character at the beginning of it which can be either minus, tilde or a dot. In case of a minus character than it must be followed by a number. In case of tilde or a dot than it must be followed by any valid step format. A valid step format is either a s tring enclosed by a sharp brackets , a number or a combination of a string enclosed by a sharp brackets followed by a number without white spaces between the brackets and the number. After the initial step we can have a dot separator to indicate that we have additional steps that must follow the normal step format without the starting indicatio ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to switch to another application from mine

  Hi, I want to be able to switch to another already running application when a user presses a button on a main form. I can enumerate the running processes and see that the one I want is running, I can get its Window Handle. How can I switch to it. If you know the window handle, you can use the SetActiveWindow() SetForegroundWindow method to do this. You'll need to include it from user32.dll Declare Function SetActiveWindow SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As Integer From your code SetActiveWindow SetForegroundWindow(hwnd) I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure it will do the trick.
