My problem is that the progressBar updates properly and the count increments...however my form's UI is unresponsive...it registers click events on the cancel button but it waits until the backgroundworker completes before it actually does what it has to do.

• Visual C++ Programmatically Create Workspace (DSW) and Project (DSP) Files from List of *.* Files?

  I often bring a list of .C and .H files from a customer's project to my computer, but do not have a Project or Workspace or MAKE file.  I would like to open a new Visual C++ workspace and project and attach a list of .C and .H files.  I do this now manually.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office newbie to vsto with problems

  My Apologize is there is a thread about this already, but I've searched the forum and haven't found anything. I just installed VSTO and can't seem to run any of the code. It starts up the app (I tried word and excel) and then nothing happens. I tried to have a message box in the thisdocument_open event and nothing pops up. If I place a breakpoint over that line, it says this line will never execute. I also tried loading the VSTO Labs and those don't run either. I re-installed office -pro 2003 and VSTO. This is solved, thank everyone for all the help. I originally started out with an instal ...Show All

• SQL Server Existing Statement with Calculated Members

  Hi, I have a Calculated Measure that makes use of the Existing statement to establish the members of a particular attribute hierarchy of my "Geography" dimension that are in context at any particular time. These are then summed over to produce a value to be used in the rest of the calculation. This has been working fine until I came to create a calculated member (e.g. a group of members from a different attribute hierarchy) on the Geography dimension, at which point the Existing statement appears to not be able to correctly pick out the correct context. I realised I will need to work around this by using filter as an alternat ...Show All
