• Visual Basic Question on VBA, Excel, and a copying to a separate program

  I worked at a company before where an employee with a little bit of a programming background created a program that would copy information from Excel, cell by cell, and paste it into another program's window running beside Excel.  I 'think' he used VBA to do the prgramming, but I'm unsure and want to see if anyone agrees that VBA is capable of doing this.  Basically the program would copy a cell in Excel, alt-tab over to the other wind ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do you actually upgrade to Team System???

• SQL Server Database Engine from One Computer to Another

  As an obvious novice, I am hoping the answer to this will be simple. I have two computers with SQL 2005 installed. One computer is used for development and the other will be used for the application. I would love to transfer the database from the development computer to the application compute. By the way, these computers are NOT networked and are miles apart. I did a ClickOnce for deployment but must have missed something because of the SQL 200 ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Compiler Optimization Discussion

    There's been something percolating in the back of my mind. I come from a computing environment that preceeded windows and the Intel Architecture and instruction set. n comparison to the instruction set that i'm used to, the Intell instruction set looks like a house wreck which may or may not be important to the discussion at hand.

• Windows Forms BUG: MDI Child Icon on Main Menu when maximized

  In Framework 2.0 with VS 2005 in VB, create an MDI application with main menu. Add a child form. When the child is maximized an Icon appears to the left of the main main i.e. left of the usual position of the File menu. This icon has the "system" menu on it - close, maximize, minimize, move, etc. The bug is that the close command has the incorrect shortcut listed. It states Alt+F4. It should be Ctrl+F4.

• SQL Server How to get a reference to output buffers in a ProcessInput()

  I'm attempting to build data-flow transform component and at the moment something just isn't clicking. Hopefully one day I'll look back and laugh at myself for asking this. I am building a synchronous component with 2 outputs. I know from reading BOL that I can get a reference to the output buffers in the PrimeOutput method but I don't think (I may be wrong) that PrimeOutput is the place to do this for synchronous components.
