• Richard Tong automating Excel

  I'm trying to create a windows form application where I can push a button and it will open a blank Excel document. Eventually I would like to be able to grab data from an already existing Excel and add data. But for now, if I could just figure out how to open Excel by pushing a button I create in a windows form, that would help me immensely! I've already gotten a form with a button on it, I just need to know how to cause it to open excel. Anyone ...Show All

• Macolino General Functionality/Performance Questions

  I've a couple of general questions about how the reporting controls work. 1: One of my initial hesitations to using the MS Report Control was the absolute necessity of declaring a dataset in the datasources tab. To my way of thinking a dataset contains data which means if I created a dataset on a table with 100,000 rows I'd be holding all that data in memory and crashing my application. Apparently this isn't the case with the datasource 'dat ...Show All

• jml81 Building web site only from solution

  The MSBuild command line reference describes how you can build one project out of a solution using the /t: argument. That works fine for me for class libraries (specifying something like /t:Library1), but not for a web site that's part of the solution. Is there a trick to getting it to work On a related note, the docs say that you can invoke a particular target in the project using a syntax like "/t:NotInSlnfolder.Rebuild". However, I have no ...Show All

• Mr Plow Keeping BitmapImage from using too much memory

  Scanned paper documents are usually stored as black and white (one bit pixel depth) TIFF images (TIFF Group IV 2D). TIFF is one of the native codecs supported by the WIC. The problem I'm having is a 50KB image uses 40MB of RAM when loaded in a BitmapImage for use as an Image source. So if the pages from a 12 page document are cached for quick page turning 500MB of RAM will be needed (not feasible). Typically a legal sized 300 DPI TIFF decompress ...Show All
