• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel document with auto increment

  Hi all. Now I've got a problem, which I think you, who knows Excel, can help me to solve. I have one .xls-document which will be used as a template for invoices and then I need to have a invoice number which is auto increment. I've solved that part by adding a new module in the Visual Basic editor: Sub auto_open() With ActiveSheet.Range("A1") .Value = .Value + 1 End With ActiveSheet.Select End Sub It works perfect and gives it a new invoice number for each time you open the file. The big problem comes next when you save the file, then the number will increase for each time the document is opened. The solution I've come up with is something like this: - One excel document with the invoice number - One template which get the number ...Show All

• Visual C# Enterprise Library, Logging Application Block, Custom Filter

  The documentation states that to create a custom Log Filter, I need to derive a class from LogFilter which " ... must also have CustomLogFilterData as the type specified as the value for the ConfigurationElementType attribute" However, the attribute ConfigurationElementType does not exist in the namespace " Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Filters". When I try to setup the Filter in Enterprise Library Configuration, it says there is no class inheriting from LogFilter in my assembly, and I presume it's because of this missing attribute. Does anybody know where the attribute can be found Thanks, Sagitt, for your reply. Still having trouble with Custom F ...Show All

• Visual C# multithreading

  I need to do multithreading. It is my fist attempt. It failed. This is the setup: There is a form with tabControl and a few pages. There is a progress bar on one of them. It is supposed to measure progress of file downloading. WIthout multhithreading it is dead while the files are downloaded and then in the end it jumps to 100%. This is what I did.
