But the normal paste transform the symbols and i become incorrect symbols. Thanks, Abongs. Hi Abongs This group is specific for questions concerning the VSTO technology. At the top of this forum there's a posting "Please Read First" with a list of links to newsgroups for posting questions about automating office applications and using their object models. I suggest you post to the newsgroup for Powerpoint, or possibly to Office.developer.automation. But I think the Powerpoint group is your best bet. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN ...Show All

• Visual C# Comparing values in an array and SqlDataReader?

  Hi ya, I'm trying to compare an array and the values of SqlDataReader and I can't actually figure it out. I used to work with ADO and new to .net I want to compare them and then if the values are not matched to the SqlDataReader, I want them to store it into a recordset but there is no recordset in Ado.net plus i think my logic has some flaws as well. Cheers The code: for ( int i=0; i <=countme-1; i++) { myCommand.CommandText = "select * from tbl_empDetails" ; SqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (myReader.Read()) { if (myReader.GetString(abc) != SID[ i ]) { Response.Write(SID[1] + " " + givenName[1] + "<BR>" ); } el ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I make update version for application which was signed with certificate now expired?

  If I change expired code signing certificate to new one and publish updated application, client will fail to launch. And code signing fails if I try to use expired certificate. How can I make update version for application signed with old certificate Hi, If your certificate has expired you need to renew the certificate from Certificate authority like Verisign or say your company has a Certificate server. The new certifcate must have the same public/private key pair as the original certificate which was expired. Alternatively you could continue signing with the expired ceritifcate but the ClickOnce Trust manager prompt will always display Unknow Publisher as the certificate has expired. If you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems with Panels

  Sorry for the cross posting but I suspect my similar posting in the "Debbugger" forum will result in a "blame the IDE guys" and as this is the closest form I can find for reporting problems with the IDE in general here it goes: Our entire project team has experienced on more than one occation double-clicking on a project dataset in the solution explorer resulting in all of the datsets in the project to get checked-out from VSS (as if the IDE in it's infinte wisdom felt the need to change something for you in all of the datasets).  I posted this problem to the VSS forum and they said they do what the IDE tells them to do (IOW not their problem). We're using VSS 2005 client and server. At this very moment I'm l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS SP1 and problem with get latest version

  Hello, I have installed TFS SP1 and have got the problem with VersionItems table. When I try to do "Get Latest Version" operation the error occures in rpc_Get stored procedure. It says that there is a collation conflict (SQL_Latin1 and "normal" Latin1). The stored procedure is encrypted so I cannot know what it tries to do. All other operations (check in, change workitems, etc) seem to work notmally. Can anyone help me and explain how to fix the problem Thank you. This was a bug which we fixed in SP1 RTM. It would occur if your TFS version control database collation was different than the collation of your tempdb. Alexey - did repairing SP1 work out ...Show All

• SQL Server Ordering columns in data flow (simple?)

  Hello, I am new to SSIS. I am trying to write a simple package to export data from some SQL 2005 tables and into a flat file. In my data flow, I am using the OLE-DB data source and then the flat file destination. This all works fine except that I cant get the package to write the columns out in the order I want. Even when I drive the OLE-DB source by a query, they columns are getting written to the flat file in a different order than I want. How is SSIS determining what order to write the columns in and, more importantly, how can I change it to do it in the order I want Please help if you can. As mentioned I am new to SSIS so please give clear+simple answers. Thanks Mgale1 Hi Phil, You are correct - ...Show All

• Visual C++ 64Bit Compiling: MIDL Property Page

  In the following "64 bit" settings article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s.aspx ...it says " Target Environment is set to /env x64 or /env ia64 . For more information, see MIDL Property Pages: General ." The only problem is: there are no "MIDL Property Pages" on my projects. According to the documenation, presumably under a property sheet called "MIDL", the pages are: "General," "Output," and "Advanced." But the closest thing I can find to these alleged MIDL Property Pages is the "Embedded IDL" page under the Linker property sheet. Sadly, all documentation simply assumes that the location of these pages is self-evident. Furthermor ...Show All

• Windows Forms Property not being modified during design mode

  I have a custom control that inherits from the DataGridView and I need to extend the Data binding functionality. I’ve implemented the DataSource and DataMember properties hiding its inherited member with the keyword new as shown below, however while in design mode my new DataSource property is not being modified. The DataMember property is being modified just as expected. I suspect that the base.DataSource property is still being modified because when modifying the Property in design mode to a BindingSource data source the columns are displayed. However if the DataSource property is set to a DataSet the columns are not displayed. I've changed the debug properties of the project to launch a new version of devenv.exe and set a breakpoin ...Show All
