• Visual Studio Tools for Office Hosting a web page in Action Pane (MS Word 2003)

  Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to host a web page in an Action Pane of Word (through ActiveX control or otherwise), in such a way that events (e.g. button clicks, page navigations) could be captured and routed back to the application For example, a web page that contains several forms, a submit button and a cancel button is residing in the Action Pane. If a user fills out the form and presses Submit, this triggers an event inside the Action Pane and some changes occur. Likewise with Cancel. The idea is to merge the web app functionality with the MS Word, so that a user does not have to open a seperate window/run a diff ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Basic VSTO questions

  I have an MS Word VSTO 2005 application that uses XML tags.  I put custom controls on the ActionPane to navigate a SQL table and update the Word file as the user scrolls through records.  All of that works, for the most part.  I just have three questions I haven't been able to figure out: - What if I want to start the Word document on a specific record   How can I pass some sort of parameter to the document class to tell it which record to start on - It is possible to get the Word document to repeat itself for each record in the table, like a mail merge does - Why is it that only the first occurrence of a ...Show All

• SQL Server Why can't add a specific Group as a login to SQL Server 2005

  Hi, I am trying to add "Remote Desktop Users" as a login group to SQL Server 2005 (i.e. so they can log into management studio). I get a "Not Found Error" (see below). But it is of course found, because I selected it :-) What is going on here I see the "Administrators" group and various SQL Server groupls added automatically there, so there must be a way, right I know I can add each user in the group individually, but that seems overkill when I can just use the group in which they are contained. Here is the error I get: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------ C ...Show All

• Visual C++ Avoiding compiler complains about redefine variables???

  Hi all: When I am writing C++ program, I need some global variables and structs to be visible from many files. But the compiler always complains that variable is already defined somewhere else.

• Visual Studio Error When Deploying Application

  Hi, When I deploy my win app which includes a reportViewer control I get the following message. Unable to install or run this application. The application requires your system to be updated to Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms Version 8.0.0.0. Any idea what this error means Terry, that didn't work for my problem of using a ReportViewer in a webform in local mode at a hosted website. By the way, your previous article, "Visual Studio 2005 Beta2 and Reporting Services - The Most Interesting New Feature for Me", was VERY helpful to me.  Many thanks for that. ...Show All

• .NET Development ReaderWriterLock doc ambiguity

  Found in the ReaderWriterLock MSDN documentation: AcquireReaderLock supports recursive reader-lock requests. That is, a thread can call AcquireReaderLock multiple times, which increments the lock count each time. You must call ReleaseReaderLock once for each time you call AcquireReaderLock . My question is: If you set a finite timeout on the AcquireReaderLock and that a ApplicationException is thrown, should the release method be called anyway Intuitively, I would answer No to this question. Does anyone know the right answer for sure Thanks in advance, Joannes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Refering to other sub in Visual Basic

  How to you refer to another sub in VB I want to be able to press Enter and have a certain sub initiate, that has already been defined as handling a click, without having to rewrite all the code again. A perfect example of this is in Calculator, when you press Enter it does the same thing as when you click the = button. I had a look in the properties of the button that, when clicked, is handled the sub that I'm trying to initiate, but to no avail. If there is a way to give a button an accesskey, please let me know. Otherwise, here's an illustration of what I'm trying to achieve. Private Sub btn_b_Click( ByVal sender ...Show All
