• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office 2003 and Office XP.

  I have built a program, on a computer that have Office 2003, that works with Word and Excel, and when I try to run it on a computer that has Office XP, it doesn't work, and shows a lot of errors. I tried to replace the DLLs in the program's folder to XP's, And to install them, and it still doesn't work. I even tried to re-make the program with references of XP's PIAs, and then it even doesn't install. What should I do Thanks, Ofir. Are you using Visual Studio Tools for Office, or is this a shared add-in Harry Miller Technical Editor http://blogs.msdn.com/harrymiller This posting is p ...Show All

• SQL Server Multi-user issues with SSRS2000

  Hi, At our company we are looking at implementing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services into our internet application. Having followed your book, and produced a dozen reports, I have found a problem with calling reports in a multi-user environment. Some of the reports that our customers want can run to over 100 pages which, whilst a large number, is a requirement. I have found that when two people call one of these large reports at the same time; one of the users gets the error "Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection". Once the worker process begins to ...Show All

• SQL Server Bug in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver

  I am using the new Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver to connect to ms sql 2000. I am testing GMT date conversions in my application and found a bug in the way the driver converts DateTime columns in the ResultSet.getTimeStamp(int i, Calendar cal) method. The driver is not converting GMT dates to client time correctly in the time range og April 1, 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm EST through the rs.getTimeStamp(int, Calendar) method. The date is coming back an hour off. In UTC time, this time is April 2, 2:00 AM to April 2, 3:00 AM. I guess daylight savings is confusing it. Can someone get back to me with a work around or verification of this bug. Tha ...Show All

• Visual Basic Serial Communications

Unfortunately I have not seen an answer. - I can build a list of available com ports - I can write data to a com port using the " How to: Send Strings to Serial Ports in Visual Basic " - I cannot read from the port using the sample code for " How to: Receive Strings From Serial Ports in Visual Basic" I have narrowed the line in question to  Dim Incoming As String = com1.ReadLine()   By setting com1.ReadTimeout = 8000 If after the timeout I open Hyperterminal and open the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dramatic memory leak in DrawText

  I've been banging my head against the wall for the last few days trying to track down the source of a rather big memory leak in my Direct3D-application. Turns out the culprit seems to be the DrawText function. Let me explain exactly what happens: I'm using a variable width truetype font (Times New Roman) created through D3DXCreateFont. I'm using this in various parts of my application, but the part where the problems are easiest to notice is in my custom UI textboxes. I use a function called InsertText to add new characters to the printed string, and everything I initialize is cleaned up properly afterwards. The problems only truly beg ...Show All
