• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem Saving Attachment's with the same (sent) file name. How to clear outlook internet temporary files?

  Hi, I am sent an update file from a third party using email. They are not able to use FTP, and I am one of many users so their side of the system cannot be changed. The update file is attached and called update.txt, an outlook rule places the emails in . There is a maximum size that file can be (on the third parties side) which is about 10K. So if there are 300,000 updated items to send this equates to about 135K which results in 135 emails all containing an attached file called 'update.txt' and all sent at the same time. I Create a unique file name and save the file using .SaveAsFile The code for this is below. foreach (Outlook.MailItem UGM in TFILE.Items) { count++; foreach (Outlook.Attachment TFILE in UGM ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FROZEN rule behaviour

  When the FROZEN rule is applied to a field, it is still possible to select other values, but you can not save them. An error message "The value for field "foo" must be empty or the same as the original value" is displayed. Why is it still allowed to select other values If you do select another value, you will have to look in the history to find the original value before you can save any other modifications. Frozen field with a value is editable, although in a limited way - you can set it to an empty string. This is the reason why we did not make it read only. Thanks, Alex ...Show All

• Visual Basic Device driver creation tutorial. Anyone please?

  Hi,  Does anyone know of a tutorial that would detail how i could create a device driver file in WinXP or Vista by using Visual Studio Pro 2005 please Basically i have a mouse with 5 buttons, left right, middle and 2 others.

• Visual Basic Standalone Executables in VB 2005 Express?

  Is it possible to produce an .exe executable stand alone program in Visual Basic 2005 Express or is it intentionally hamstrung so as not to allow compilation but only to produce scripts for an interpreter Any help appreciated. All executable in VB.Net will require the .net framework to be installed. The .exe file it produces are actually IL (Intermediate language) which will be compiled by the JIT (Just In Time) Compiler when run. The compiler is part of the framework. So the executable are compiled (but at runtime) and all .NET applications whether VB or C# require the appropriate version of the framework to be installed - which includes the compiler (and has a free redistributable) ...Show All

• SQL Server Clustered SQL Server freezes & restarts itself in Enterprise Manager

  Hi, In our large organisation we have SQL Server 2000 running on a 2 node cluster using Windows 2000 Advanced Server Clustering. Each node has 2GB RAM. The server has about 10 databases only one of which is significant size at about 1GB. Our website accesses this database via ASP. The website receives between 10000-40000 hits per hour. The problem is that periodically (not necessarily during high load periods at all) this single database 'freezes' (not the whole server - the other databases seem fine) and refuses all login attempts from the website. This happened again on the weekend when the database was down for about 6 hours. When we go into Enterprise Manager and click on the instance, there is initially no activity for an unusual amou ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device ID Data Type

  Hi All, I want to be able to uniquely identify a mobile device. I've discovered that devices have a Device ID but is only accessible via the Win API through PInvoke() calls. The article I found is here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172516.aspx PInvoking is not a problem for me. I actually found this article through a message board where someone actually had problems using it. 1) Is this article up to date and compatible with WM 5.0 devices Most Importantly 2) Is the device ID a GUID Or is it something else The article indicates it converts the final result into a string not a native GUID. This doesn't actually mean that the string doesn't contain a GUID though. I haven't run it through yet to see, but I do ...Show All

• SQL Server Casting...

  I've got an ftp task that will be downloading a couple of files each night. today they're called blah20060830blah the date value in the middle changes each day. I'm trying to adjust this value with an expression. The expression doesn't want to cast my getdate function into a string that this property will accept. I know i'm missing something stupid. Thank you Maybe I'm completely missing the boat here. in an ftp task, there is a property called "Remote Path" As I understand, this designates what the path and filename of the remote file to be downloaded. Here's my leap of understanding. I want that value to change daily, I'm assuming that I can define this using an expression. I will concat the ...Show All

• Visual Basic Auto Append and semi complete Form

  I open a form with a Tableadapter to which I have created a query based on a field on the form which I populate from the previous opening form. This displays the results of a query which shows header records and a Datagrid view of the linked many transactions. (Like a simple Invoice Header and Transaction lines details tables) What I would like to happen, is that when no data is returned by the query, the form automatically appends a new record and fills in certain information (ie the Account) which is already known. This would be done in the onLoad event, but I do not seem to get the data to 'autofill' Any help or direction to look in would be appreciated.

• .NET Development Problem refreshing datasource in RDLC file

  Hi all.. I developed a local report to be viewed using Report Viewer control. That report is attached to an object data source. All works perfectly, but when I add other property to the object data source, that property appears in the data sources window (after I press refresh button), but when I edit properties of a textbox, and by expanding the Value combobox, the new field isn't shown. If I drag & drop the field from the data sources view, the Textbox Value appears to be "=First(Fields!NEWPROP.Value)". To solve the problem, I have to edit the RDLC file using the XML editor and manually add the new added field(s). After that, the field is added to the combobox and as the value of the TextBox I can finally use &q ...Show All
