• Visual Studio Tools for Office Shared Add-In VS2005

  Hi! I have problems to get Shared Add-in done with VS2005 ("final" version) with Word 2003. I manage to make same test with old VS2003 shared add-in project type and it's working fine with Word 2000. Is there some issues why .Net 2.0 Shared Add-in won't work with Office 2003 Also what I actually trying to solve is that I need add-in or way to add new command bar to Word where users can use my .Net windows form program.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to put text in a listbox heads ?

  Tried to find in help but to no avail. listbox.heads = True listbox.column = 8 but how to put some text in the headers. Thanks..... Hi Michael, The support engineer found the following... I have setup up a office 2000 machine for this case. And do test on ListBox control. First, ListBox control has a property ColumnHeads, we can set it as true, then the list box will show header for each column. But this won’t show column header when you use code to insert data. So there is only work around: Use a label instead of listbox header. -brenda (ISV Buddy Team) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Refresh Designer at Design Time?

  Hi,   I’ve created a simple user control which resizes its height automatically according to the image size loaded by a user at design time. After loading the image my control resizes but the control selection area doesn’t resize automatically - only when I click on the control. My control also has a custom control designer which restricts the control user to set the user controls height at design time.     Is there any particular reason why this is happening How can I fix this   Thank you, Eric Maroudas. In your custom designer, after you've done ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What test framework/technique should one use for testing web pages?

  Situation: I have a number of pages that require passing information back and forth via Query Strings or POSTs. I would like to apply unit tests to each of the components on the page. As an example: http://homesite.com/landingpage.aspx a=UNIQUEIDHERE I want to write a unit test to a: make sure if the correct uniqueID is passed in, it is parsed correctly b: if they key is no longer valid, the page is redirected correctly Options: It would appear that I have quite a few options to do this. A day full of browsing around gives me: Use nUnitASP -- this is ok, but I'm writing all my tests in VSTS, and this would mean it'd be a separat ...Show All

• .NET Development Databinding Custom Classes

  I have a custom class that is data bound to a textbox.text property in the usual way... Textbox1.Databindings.Add("Text",MyCustomClass,"Value2") When I us the UI and change Textbox1.Text, MyCustomClass.Value2 updates as expected when the textbox is validated. But changes to MyCustomClass programmatically does not update the textbox. I guess MyCustomClass needs to implement an interface and supports notification but I'm not sure which one and how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.. ...Show All

• SQL Server Long running Query

  Hi, I'm trying to optimize a long running (several hours) query. This query is a cross join on two tables. Table 1 has 3 fields - ROWID, LAt and Long. Table 2 has Name, Addr1,Addr2,City,State,Zip,Lat,Long. Both tables has LatRad - Lat in radians, LonRad- Lon in Radians. Sin and Cos values of Lat and Lon are calulated and stored to be used in the distance formula. What I'm trying to do here is find the nearest dealer (Table 2) for each of Table 1 rows. The Select statement takes a long time to execute as there are about 19 million recs on table 1 and 1250 rows in table 2. I ran into Log issues- filling the transaction log, so I'm c ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with CASE Expression

  Hi, all here, I have a problem with CASE expression in my SQL staments. the problem is: when I tried to just partly update the column a , I used the CASE expression : set a=case when b=null then 'null' end the result was strange: then all the values for column a turned to null . so what is the problem tho Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance. The issue is with your comparison of the column value against NULL using equality operator. By default, <any non null value> <> NULL unless you set ANSI_NULLS to off and this affects few operations in the server. You can check the Books Online for more detail ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Specular reflections for sphere mesh is ugly.

  I saw the thread about specular reflections disappearing but the solution of reducing specular power ie, specularSharpness is not an option because either way it the reflections look really ugly. I can't see why there would be a problem with my mesh either, since I'm using the Mesh.Sphere method to generate it, so I don't see why there would be a problem with that. I don't know why this happens. I am simply trying to render an untextured, colored sphere, with lighting from the top, a fair amount of ambient light and a small sharp but well defined specular point. I'm able to do this in openGL and get really nice looking specular reflection ...Show All
