• Visual Studio Tools for Office the differents between Interop and Tools?

  Hi. wats the different between Microsoft.Office.Interop.word and Microsoft.Office.Tools.word which one is better Thanks Interop is the object model provided by the (Primary) Interop Assembly - the "translator" between an Office application's COM object model and .NET Framework managed code. What this provides can be used in a Shared Add-in, a Windows Form, a Console Application... Anything. Tools.Word are constructs provided by the VSTO tool that extend what Interop provides. It makes it easier to work with some aspects of the object model; for example: - you can write Bookmark.Text = "abc" and the bookmark will be around the text, instead of using Bookmark.Range.Text and needing to recrea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Slow screen redraw

  I am in inexperienced programmer who has an application that displays many (50-60) controls on a form. The application is a production planning system, that requires many controls displayed on screen (1 for each job qued on individual machines) Whenever the form is re-draw, it is painfully slow, I have set the doublebuffer ControlStyles etc, but are unable to fix the issue. This issue is running on a P4 2.8GHZ / 500MB PC. Can anyone assist I have attached an example of my problem (not my actual application, but the samle gives the same issue). The sample simply displays many controls onto a form. When you force a redraw ie ALT-TAB to another app and back again, the screen redraws very slowly. Aaron Private Sub Form ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Pushpins in V4

  Pushpin script working in version 3.x is no longer working in V4 when in 3d mode (works fine in 2d)...quite a few of the parameters in the failing pushin are null and the javascript error is complaining about a problem with 'length' A little debugging revealed an interesting bug--the title field can't be "null", but can be an empty string. In other words, this works: map.AddPushpin(new VEPushpin('LayPP:13',new VELatLong(30.557437,-84.221834),' ','13',null,null,null,null)); I'll let the team know. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Map.getAddressFromClickedLocationOnMap()???

  Hi, Is there a method like the above I can get the latitude/longitude, but it would be nice to get the address somehow. Thanks, se I like it when i can answer several different questions with the same answer.... What your after is reverse geocoding, pass in a lat and long and get the address. VE doesn't support it currently, it would be really nice if it did. You can use the MapPoint web service to do it. As it is the same mapping data the results are really good. The only trick is as part of that service you have to pass in the correct region or else you will get something very basic as the default is Nth America. You can sign up for free account and test it out but be aware they curren ...Show All

• SQL Server server groups

  is there a way to enumerate through existing server groups Im trying to create children server groups. Hi Allen, You'll need to use a recursive function for this as a group can have a sub-group, and those groups may have sub-groups etc. (not to mention servers at any level) So, say you wanted to populate a treeview with all servers/groups registered on the machine: private void PopulateServerListRCR(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RegisteredServers.ServerGroupCollection Grps, TreeNode ParentNode) { TreeNode node; TreeNode SrvNode; for (int i = 0; i < Grps.Count; i++) { node = new TreeNode(); node.Name = Grps .Name; node.Text = Grps .Name; if (ParentNode != null) { Pare ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Forms Role Authorization Framework

  Hi, I want to include role based authorization into my Windows Forms (.net2 C#) app and was wondering if anyone could point me towards a decent framework to achieve this. What I'm really after is a framework that will enable/disable/make invisible controls based on a users role without having to inject code all over the place. I guess the kind of thing I'm imagining is an XML file that sits behind each form and based on the contents of the xml file will enable/disable controls. More specifically probably a base class that all forms inherit from that performs the logic to manage the interface controls. Does anyone have any advice and/or links on an efficient way of doing this (or a much better way of doing ths). I'm sure something ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Debug rules?

  Actually I would love to know how you can debug the rules. Can you see which rules are pending and which rules are fired Can you set break points on the condition or action part in the CodeDom You can use Tracing and Tracking to debug rules. You cannot set breakpoints on the actions / conditions in WF V1, but you can use System.Diagnostics tracing and WF Tracking to get better visibility into rules execution. Moustafa has a nice write up on his blog about this - http://blogs.msdn.com/moustafa/archive/2006/08/05/689776.aspx . Scott Allen's book on WF also has a chapter on rules that talks about tracing and tracking. ...Show All
