• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO2005 performance

  Hi, We currently have a SmartDocument that is used on multiple clients. The Document Actions pane for this document retrieves various information through a Web Service. Now we want to use VSTO2005 because it's a much more flexible and robust environment. The only question we have is about performance; will the new technology perform faster, equally fast or slower than the SmartDocument Thanks in advance. Stephen, I have developed smart docs and VSTO 2005 action pane-based solutions. It is difficult to say which one is faster, because it almost entirely depends on what happens when the events fire.

• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 and Windows 2000 Server Problem

  Hi all I have a problem on a Windows 2000 Server: I have successfully installed .NET Framework 2.0 on a Windows 2000 Server (SP 4). When I look under "Administrative Tools", I expect to have a entry "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration". But on this Server there doesnt exist this entry. The entrys for ".NET Framwork 1.1 Configuration" are there ... Would be happy for any comments on this issue.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Drawing over fullscreen video from AudioVideoPlayback

  I've spent some time trying to render text or even a control on top of video being played at fullscreen using the AudioVideoPlayback namespace without any luck.  Originally I was aiming to have a transparent control on top of the video, but if I can get text on top, or any control (transparent or not) I'd be happy... Can someone point me in the right direction   Perhaps provide an example of something similar I think a lot of video displaying uses overlays, which means the video card inserts the stream directly into the video output.

• Visual Basic Date Sorting issues in DataGridView Column

  Hi, I am converting a VB6 program to .Net/VB2005 as a learning experience. I'm testing the DataGridView control to display my data and have some difficulties. My data is in a single disk file with user-defined-data-type fixed length records. The first column in my DataGridView displays a transaction date. All the DataGridView columns are textbox columns. The dates load and display correctly but if I click the column header and use the built in sort it doesn't sort in the form (YY/MM/DD) I would expect. I'm new to VB2005 and I have not found a way to set a column format to Date (MM/DD/YY). Is that possible If so would a date format solve t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get workflow instance from database?

  Perhaps it is very easy, but i really wondering to find this solution. Please tell me details! Thanks! If you have a persistance service registered with the WorkflowRuntime (see the Persistence examples), the workflow got most likely persisted because it was idleing because it waits for an event to happen. In most scenarios you just have to send the event with the instance id of the workflow instance, the WorkflowRuntime will then take care of the rest. It will load the workflow instance from the presistence store, send the event to it and if it idles again it will get persisted again. If you manually want to trigger the load, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can I record unit tests?

  Hi, all. This is probably very basic and, possibly, obvious. But, I'm just a newbie and don't know much about it. :) I am trying to use VS 2005 Team Test Edition to automate some of the testing we do. So far, I'm just investigating what it's capable of and how we can use it. What I can see so far is that web tests are not going to work for our application, since we have a lot of client side logic involved. I'm looking at unit tests and not quite sure how to use them. Is there any way I can "record" a unit test (similar to the way web tests get recorded) May be, I'm looking in the wrong dirrection all together. If that's ...Show All
