• 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.

• Visual Studio Consuming MSSCCI plugin - calling SccInitialize

  Hi I'm trying to write an editor (in C#) that would be able to connect to source control using MSSCCI, much like Visual Studio does. I've started by importing SccInitialize method from the VSS plugin C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssscc.dll. I can call SccGetVersion() and it works fine, but when I call SccInitialize, it returns -15 ( #define SCC_E_NONSPECIFICERROR -15). SccInitialize populates and returns lpSccName (puts "Source Safe" there) and lpAuxPathLabel (puts "Source Safe Database" there). Is there anything special I have to do to consume VSS plugin from my custom code Is there ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Contest Participant Document

         Hi!!!        I was wondering if it is possible for all participants of “The World’s Best App” contest to have a document that acknowledges that we participated in this event, even if they (or we) did not win one of the prizes.   You know, just a memento or something that we can brag about with, say, our grandchildren or Human Resource Head Hunters. That would be great. I just wanted to ask how many apps and games were submitted on time but haven't been published yet. Maybe there are more prizes than apss submitted, as you can only win one prize and ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic Security

  Hi, I am a little concerned about the recent discussion of “Dynamic Security” and SSAS 2005. http://blogs.proclarity.com/blogs/dgustafson/archive/2006/3/21/54.aspx Is the “Dynamic Security” approach really scalable Christian Don't take my post at blogs.proclarity.com the wrong way.  This is not so much a performance problem in SSAS 2005.  Rather, using dynamic security makes external OLAP query caching difficult for our product, ProClarity Analytics Server.  My advice would be to think twice before using dynamic security to simply bypass the management of OLAP roles or AD grou ...Show All
