• Visual Studio Tools for Office Orphan Winword.exe with PIA

  Hey I am using PIA to run thru documents and convert hyperlinks, using VS2005. To date, PIA has been very helpful, but I have a problem with it leaving an orphan Winword.exe process behind after the process has finished. I use the PIA in a class, which has the following code to instantiate and destroy the object. Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word ... Private _app As Word.Application Public Sub New() _app = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application() End Sub Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Finalize() Dim intRefCount As Integer = 1 While intRefCount > 0 intRefCount = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Relea ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Windows service and custom properties

  Hello all! I'm having a heck of a time trying to find any information about adding a custom property to a windows service.  As an example, if you look at the properties dialog on the  SNMP service you will notice that it has two additional tabs that are used for configuring that service.  I would like to do the same thing for my custom service.  Can someone point me in the right direction I'm using VB.NET 2003 but any information in whatever flavor would be great. Thanks! Dan Did you ever find a solution for this   I've been trying to accomplish the same thing. ...Show All

Or do I need to change the project file somehow Michael, Just so I am clear about what you are saying when you say "the final version of FxCop that's integrated in VS Team System"... you're saying the shipping version of Visual Studio 2005 (i.e. not Beta 2) will not include rules that use the spell-checker Thanks.

• Visual Basic RishTextBox

  I use a richtextbox for runtime status messaging in my application.  I use the .appendtext feature to add a new line whenever I need to report some event such as saving/loading or some trapped exception.  What I would like to be able to do is control the formatting of each new appended text line.  For instance, if I have just trapped an exception and wish to inform the user of the fault, I would like to change the forecolor of the next appended string to red to get the users attention.  Is there anyway for me to set the font/color of a string that I am going to append to a text box without affecting the total text in the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I output 3D screenshot to asp page

I found the directX can output screenshot to file, such as: SurfaceLoader .Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFileFormat .Jpg, _device.GetBackBuffer(0, 0, BackBufferType .Mono)); But I wish I could output directly to my ASP page.

• Visual C# Uploading to FTP from either a filesystem or a website

  This code works, but I was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do this. When I upload to FTP from another website, first I download to the filesystem somewhere and then I upload this file to the ftp site. There must be a more direct way to do this, without using the user's filesystem. In my code, there are two parts, one is the case of the upload file located on the filesystem and the second is the case when the upload file is located on the website. The only major difference between the two cases is highlighted in bold. If anybody has sample code, clear suggestions, or links that directly address my situation, it would be much appreciat ...Show All

• .NET Development Two values behave as one

  Hi to all! I wonder, is there a datastracture, or perhaps a method, which supports that the combination of two values behaves as one. For instance, two values: a and b.

You can do string ab = a + b; is that what you mean ...Show All
