• Visual Studio Express Editions Uninstall problem

  Maybe not the right place to post this but I cant see where else I should. I have Visual Studio Express C++ and Visual Studio Exress C# install willed. But neither will uninstall.

I need to deinstall both because I have bought Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office AdvancedSearchComplete return multiple results in Outlook Addin...

  Using VSTO in VS2005 Beta 2, I built an Outlook Addin that, among other things, creates a HashTable of unique topics from chosen folders.

On Button_Click, with every folder chosen, I iterate through the hash and, if the key matches the folder I'm looking for, I create a new search for each unique topic in that folder. Everything works well a ...Show All
