• Visual Basic Add New Data Source for My SQL doesn't work

  I have tried also installing and using the ODBC driver version 3.51 and the My SQL driver 3.1.8.  None of these work. What do I have to do to add a new MY SQL data source Michael I was told by two different Microsoft employees that Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition was the right version of Visual Studio 2005 for me to use for all of my needs including access to ODBC and MySQL data. They emailed me a link with a comparison of all of the different variations and features of the different versions of Visual Studio 2005.  I am trying to remember now, but I think it included a chart with bullets or check marks and comment ...Show All

• Windows Forms Add New row to DataTable doesn't refresh DataGridView control. Please Help!

  Here's my scenario: I have a form that has a datagridview control. There's another grid on the same form that is a child view. I have one dataset, with two tablebindings and tableadapter objects. Everything loads great, I start it up, first grid loads with all the records and second grid refreshes as I click on the rows of the first grid. Now, I want to add a new record to my parent table. I made the main grid read-only because I don't want the user to manipulate the data directly. So, on the click of a button, I display a little pop up window with the fields I want the users to enter.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel BeforeRightClick TransparentProxy

  When VSTO was in Beta 2 the Excel "BeforeRightClick" event handler would receive an instance of an Excel.Range type.   Now, instead of the range it receives a Transparent Proxy that consequently causes my Application.Intersect() method invokation to fail ( "No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))" ).   I'm not sure where the Transparent Proxy came from, it was not in the Beta 2 code, but it seems like when I try to use it, the Intersect method now fails.

• Visual Studio AddNamedCommand(...) and VSIP

  Hi, I am developing a VSPackage, and need to add commands like the EnvDTE::Commands::AddNamedCommand(...) method. However, although i have access to all the EnvDTE interfaces, i can't access the EnvDTE::AddIn object from within my package.
