• Visual Studio Tools for Office Toolbar button on all mail items in Outlook 2003 using VSTO

  I'm new to VSTO and Outlook programming. I'm having difficulty creating a toolbar button that will appear on all mail items (both new mail and received mail.) When I use the code in the Outlook programming labs for VSTO, it seems like the button only appears on the first window I open, and not on any other window. Does anyone have a quick snippet of code that can show me how to do this Thanks, Ike Hello Ike, well when programming Outlook there are some pitfalls. Maybe you can look on my VSTO Sample "X4UTools" that deals with multiple Explorers and Inspectors and also when you use Wo ...Show All

• Visual C++ Microsoft Dynamic Link Libraries (dlls) - What ones must be given to the end user?

  Compiler: Visual Studio.NET 2002 Hi everyone, You will probably think I am a bit dim for asking this question but it is one that does confuse me. How do I know what standard Microsoft dlls (Dynamic Link Libraries) must be sent out with my software so Windows users (even the previous Windows release users) can use my programs I was going to link statically (as I got the impression that doing so would automatically put the dll in the final executable). Then I got some errors which got resolved when I linked dynamically instead. So even though the optimal answer would be to link statically, please answer assuming I link dynamica ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem caused by SQL 2005 Developer edition?

  I'm receiving an error at the end of the TFS install: "Error 28805 Setup cannot finish the request to the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service report server. Verify that the report server is installed and running, and that you have sufficient privledges to access it." This is a dual-server installation. The DB Tier was installed to a server with SQL 2005 Developer edition. The App Tier has the Reporting Services installed from the SQL 2005 Standard Edition CD. (Not my choice, the boss demanded it.)

• SQL Server Restore 2005 to 2000 Database

  The machine I do development on has SQL Server 2005 installed. My client, however, is running SQL Server 2000.

• SQL Server Calling a .NET assembly

  I have implemented a c#-dll and added it to the assembly cache. My question is if there exists some other way of calling functions in it other than using a script task Using a script task works well, but I think it would be nicer if there was some sort of dll-task analoguos to the web service task. Thanks for some comments! No, there is no "Assembly Task". Not sure what such as task would give you really as there are so many variations. I had considered one as a development, but I only see this as being worth the effort for a Transform, supporting limited single call methods. ...Show All

• Visual C# Missing character in string

  Hi to all! I miss a certain character in my string! The character is the symbol for female (this editor won't let me use it). It indicates the end of a page in a .txt file that is converted from a .pdf file. Has anyone an idea how I can still use it with a string.indexOf(symbol) *UPDATE* The question is actually, how can I select a form feed character (= ascii code 12 = page-break) from a string Kind regards, Nele As long as you know the character code for it you can write the character literal with an escape sequence, e.g. string.IndexOf('\xNNNN') ...Show All
