Visual Studio Tools for Office Bullets = "?" with InsertXML
When inserting wordxml text with .insertxml, the bullets that were "." become " ". Ex: Line 1 Line 2 Becomes: Line 1 Line 2 What is wrong Please show us the code you're using (the WordML). Most likely, what you're inserting doesn't specify the correct list template or the correct font. have you compared your code with XML code in a document saved as WordProcessingML, to see where the two differ BTW, you probably should be asking this in the office.xml newsgroup, where you're more likely to find a few people conversant in WordProcessingML. ...Show All
Visual C# Date Validation on a Databound Textbox
Friends, I am curious if anyone knows a way to pop a validation messagebox based on what is already taking place in a date bound textbox in Visual Studio 2005. What I mean is this...... Yes, I can write a routine to run through the characters and check if it is a valid date but the textbox (and/or bound dataset ) seems to be doing its own validation. If I do not type in a valid date using a /, ., or -, the form simply will not let me advance to the next record using the navigator, which tells me that the textbox or dataset is doing it's own validation WITHOUT me having to write a whole new method to do it. I even checked an invalid lea ...Show All
.NET Development What's a good way to add record to an xml file
Would anyone help me about "How to add record to an xml file" I could add ONLY one record to it using Serialization, but that record will be updated by updating or creating a new instance of the serialized object, i want it to be added to xml file like a log file for exmple. Woth tahnk. Howdy... why don't you look at creating an object collection that contains your 'record' object. Just serialise and de-serialise as required, adding and removing from the collection. Just remeber to add the XmlInclude attrib for both your object type and objectcollection type. Give me a yell if you need some code for it. Che ...Show All

Visual C# Can't "save project as".
I'm trying to do something pretty simple. I have a large, complex project. I want to save it under a new name, so that I can make changes to it (changes that I wouldn't want to risk screwing up my original project). I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this in the C# IDE. There seems to be no option. Saving it as a template isn't what I'm looking for. I want to duplicate the project so that the old version is safe, and there seems to be no way to do this. Tell me I'm missing something. Save as only saves one file. For the project it actually only saves the project file. What you want ...Show All

Windows Forms Binding Navigator Problem
Hi, I was wondering how you see the code for the previous, first and delete buttons on the binding navigator. The reason being is I run my application and the user presses the + button which displays a new record but if they then press the previous or first record button the program crashes with an unhandled exception. This is because there are fields in the new record that are required. I have put in a try catch for the Save button click event as I can see the code when I double click the Save button. I can then handle the exception gracefully by displaying the error message to the user via a status strip label if fields are required ...Show All
