• Visual Basic output strings

  In the past, whenever I had to generate a string containing a mix of standard characters and variables I just concatenated them with the ampersand symbol. For example: Console.WriteLine("My name is " & strName & ", and my address is " & strAddress) However, now, whenever I see an example in a book or elsewhere, I see them using a different style, such as this one: Console.WriteLine("My name is {0}, and my address is {1}", strName, strAddress) Is there a reason for this or some benefit I'm not realizing Personally, I find this style way more confusing, since you have to jump back and forth to see ...Show All

• SQL Server A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server

  Hi all, I am new to SQL 2005. I have one issue and it is as follows: I write a simple query and run it; it works fine. Now I break the network connection and run the query; in this case it runs fine. But when I reconnect the network and run the query, then I get an error as follows: "A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - An unexpected network error occurred.) " Every thing is local here. So how the network issue comes here For some reason the connection was made through Named Pi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Monitoring arrow keys events

  I'm building an texteditor and i want to now how i can monitor if a user changes the position of the cursor with the arrow keys. How can i solve this. I'm using Visual c++ express edition 2005 and created the project as a CLR form project Setting e.Handled to true will work UNLESS you are subclassing TextBox, in which case it will not work. So you would have to intercept the message sooner, for example by overriding ProcessDialogKey, and returning true. ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE3 doesn't work in VS2005 (add-in not installed and proxy not generated correctly)

  Hi all, I've got a lot of problem using WSE3 with my installation of VS2005 Team Suite. I installed the WSE3 with the "visual studio developer" option but I don't have the add-in for the configuration. I can bypass the problem using manually the Configuration tool to edit the configuration files. But I've also another problem: this happens both with my application and with the quickstart examples: when I add a web reference, the generated proxy is still the old one (which inerhits from SoapHttpClientProtocol) and not the "new one" that should inherits from Microsoft.Web.Services3.WebServicesClientProtocol and should have ...Show All

• Visual C++ Capturing /showIncludes output

  Hi. I'm trying to capture the output of cl /showincludes . The docs say that this goes to stderr , but that seems not to be the case. In a 'normal' console window, the output goes to stdout and I can use cl -c -showIncludes f.cpp >includes When run from VisualC++ (visual c++ 2005 express edition), cl insists on sending its output to the Output window, and no amount of redirection seems to be able to pursuade it to do otherwise. Thanks, Bob. [ C:> cl -nologo -Bv Compiler Passes: C:\_1\VC\BIN\cl.exe: Version 14.00.50727.42 C: \_1 \VC\BIN\c1.dll: Version 14.00.50727.42 C: \_1 \VC\BIN\c1xx.dll: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office how to export

  I need to create a new word document from vsto word custmomized application. Application has some dynamically created datagridviews that serve as reports and are based on some paramteres stored in xml files. Now when users are done with the document, I need to create a 'normal' word document, rendering all of the content. I know that just saving a document will not do it as dynamically created controls will not be save with doc (currently I need to put marker and inject content every time user opens a doc.), so I need a way to render a content of a finished document to a new non customized word document. What is the easiest way to do it Usin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Design patterns and best practices for rich clients

  Hello All - I have been developing an n-tier application with a .net windows based rich client (rather large MDI app) sitting on the front end for about 8 months.  Hindsight once again being the case, I wish we would have spent more time up front investigating patterns and best practices to apply when developing this rich client. We have gone through phases where we thought it best to keep ALL logic out GUI components (user controls, etc) and therefore found ourselves creating a slew of controllers and helper classes, and other phases yet where we decided to include logic within the controls and components. When using controllers, we we ...Show All

• Visual Basic search folder with speed

  Hi everybody, Well I need to find some files on the harddisk, but the problem is its kind of slow. Well there are some good functions like My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles() but I need some speed. Is there a function like find quick allfiles() Thanks for your help. Hello. No, sorry. GetFiles() is the quick version. - There is the Index Service to which you might speek OLEDB. - MSN search should have some API. The problem with these is that they need to build/update an index for all your files. So they are not to be trusted to be complete (or activated, even).

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "Office document customization is not available" error

  This error happens very frequently when an Excel VSTO project is built and run within VS. The Excel file will open, but this error will occur.

The error usually will disappear after rerunning the application once, or twice, or thrice, ... Sometimes, I do have to close VS and restart the whole thing.
