• SharePoint Products and Technologies where to store a unique ID?

  Hello,   I want to store a unique ID to use in a webpart. In a aspx page I would do it with a database field and a stored procedure, but with webparts i don't know. I want to give all my documents a unique ID, but not use the ID from sharepoint itself. as soon as a document is being put in a library, a unique ID is given to that document. That unique ID will show on the library as e.g. a label. So as soon as the event triggers to place the document on the library, I want to fetch a new unique number. My plan was to store that number in the database, and get and raise it with a stored procedure each time there is a new document. I just don't know if it is possible in a webpart to use ...Show All

• SQL Server Connect vb express to SQL2005 Developer ed?

  Excuse the cross post (to VBexpress fourum) but maybe someone here will have a different take have searched all around can't seem to see how to configure a SQL2005 developer ed so I can use vb express to develop a local front end. keep getting "the user instance login flag is not supported on this version of sql server" I have configured the .net framework via aspnet_regsql.exe. Also I configured the "Machine.config" file. but so far no luck. Selecting sql2005 as the server thru the add new database connection in advanced area yields the error message surely there is away. So far still no joy, While Scotty indicates that the connection to SQL2005 is intentionally hampered other posters indicate that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can you call into your VSTO project from an Excel formula?

  I'd lke to completely replace all VBA code in my Excel project. I have a number of functions defined in VBA which I use in Excel formulas: "=getbeampos(A1)" Is there a way to access the methods in my VSTO project in a similar manner Doubtful, I suppose. Hi, It is possible to code your user defined functions (UDFs) within your VSTO customization and reference them from the worksheet. However, such a solution would still require some Vba code to wire this up since there is no native support for VSTO UDFs within Excel. If you are interested in this approach, see Paul Stubb's excellent blog entry on the subject here: http://blogs.msdn.com/pstubbs/archive/2004/12/31/344964.aspx . ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA, Null value and data object not set?

  This issue is getting my nerves. In VBA, I can't just say, if MyObject = Null to determine whether the object is set or not. IsNull is pretty uesless since it will report false when the object is not set. VBA treats Null as a value, not an object that hasn't been initialized. Does anyone knows how to get around it Or maybe there is proper way to determin whether the object is initialized or not Like a simple code MyObject == Null in C# Andy Pope wrote: Hi, Try using Is Nothing for objects. If MyObject Is Nothing Then MsgBox "MyObject is nothing" End If LOL, hell yeah, it works. Thank you very much. I know it must be something this easy. I have been tryi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Beginner's question: "Easy" adding of event handlers

  Hi everyone! I've just started to look into the WPF and installed WPF Designer extension for Visual Studio 2005. (How) Can I add event handlers Or should I manually create handler function in the code, and then add a property in xaml I can't even see the Events tab on the Properties panel... :( Maybe I don't understand something big ;) Thanks for the reply! Of course, I understand that some things haven't been implemented yet. The question was more "maybe I just can't see it " :). So thank you for the reply again and hope to see all this new stuff develops rapidly :) Thank you for your work, guys! ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can I use Device Emulator to run other OS

  Hi, I know that the Device emulator is an emulator for SMDK 2410 board. So my question is can I use device emulator to run other OS that can run on SMDK 2410 Such as can I run embedded Linux using device emulator by modifying the linux code I know that device emulator support .nb0 file. If I just rename the linux loader binary file to xxx.nb0 Can I run the embedded Linux loader I doubt it's that easy since the .nb0 is probably a proprietary format. Personally I'd google and see if someobdy else has had way too much time on their hands :p ...Show All

  I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table.

• Windows Forms How to Read DataGrid ColumnHeader and RowHeader Text

  Hi, I have a datagrid based Windows Form Application. That datagrid may be bind to any kind of datasource depnding on some conditions. I can get the column headers text when datasource is a datatable but don't know how to get the column header text when the datasource is an array. Does anyone know a general way to get the headers text which will work independent of the datasource, if not atleast how to get the header text if datasource is an array. P.S. I only have the point where user has clicked on the datagrid. I cannot modify the application and my program injects into the application to get the information about the datagrid. Even if it is bound to the datatable,column header text could be different from the column name ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how do i stop/exit a sub by using another sub i.e a button click?

  how do i stop/exit a sub by using another sub i.e a button click I presume you want this because you are trying to escape from a loop which is running in a sub. One way is to use a flag, probably declared at module level, which is set by the button click and checked within the loop, which can then exit if the flag is set. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. retrieving data from gamecomponents

  Hi all. I'm hoping someone can point my confused self at the (probably simple) solution to my problem. The only way I can find to access information from added components (Components.Add(myCoolComponent);) is to create myCoolComponent as a 'global' object in my main game. I wouldn't feel so bad, though it _seems_ like a good way to use up RAM, but if I need to find myCoolComponent.position in an instance of a class I'm forced to pass the original copy of myCoolComponent around all the time; and that can't be good. What I imagine I'm looking for is something like: game.Components.myCoolComponent.position. //confused! You could consider publishing a service from your component ... if ...Show All
