• Visual Studio Tools for Office ServerDocument Help

  Hello, Okies here is the scenario: i want to be able to allow a user to upload a word document to my web app. When a user selects the document they have already uploaded then the Server injects a few websites specific variables then returns the document to the user. The user then opens the doc in word and a word plugin reads the values of the returned document. I'm still a little unsure how the the ServerDocument does its work but this kinda seems like a nice job for it. My only thought is that the initial document the user uploads won't be a customized document. Is it possible to let the ServerDocument embed the customization work. and then process and return the new doc Sorry if this has been answered before, i've searched ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) bind streaming XML to WPF controls?

  Hi, We have a web service that returns data in XML format, and we have a WPF application that consumes this XML by using an XmlDataProvider as the data source, and it can then populate a Listbox and a Content control with the XML data. However, the XML data returned can be really large, and it can take long time for the whole data is fetched. We are thinking to stream the XML data, and as soon as the first part of the data is coming over, we want to bind the data to the controls, and give the user the impression it is faster, as the reminding data is coming over in the background. My question is: is this possible and how :) I googled quite a bit, but could not find any howtos or demos for this. Thanks! Wenbiao ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing variables or objects?

  I am fairly new to programming in C# but I have been developing in T-SQL for some time. In SQL there is no such thing as objects so we pass everything with variables.

An example is below. Thanks for your help.
