• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying Outlook Add-In (after following tutorial Part 2)

  First off, it's worth saying that VSTO 2005 is excellent both as a product and as supported by all of the great articles and samples. Office has become a very important Hosting environment for enterprise applications and VSTO (and the community) is exactly what we need. I just finally got my Outlook Add-In to work with one-click deployment, but I needed to customize the SetSecurity project referenced in the Part 2 Walk-thru. I added a "trustTargetDir" parameter and when "trustTargetDir" is true, then the AddSecurityPolicy method uses "FullTrust" o the targetDir. In my case, I'm using Redemption.dll beca ...Show All

• SQL Server RAM Upgrade

  Hey, I'm planning to upgrade the physical memory of the server from 2 GB to 4 GB. The server is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000 with SP4. From the OS point of view, the OS will be able to utilize the whole 4 GB of memory. But the SQL Server will only utilize 2 GB of memory no matter what, is there a way to enable the SQL Server 2000 application to utilize more than 2 GB of memory Thanks. Launch Management Studio and connect to the SQL Server instance you want to configure. Once connected, in Object Explorer right-click on the server and select Properties. This will launch the Server Pr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista State Machine

  On a State Machine WF I have: StateA (Event A includes: WaitForEventA, CodeBlockA, SetStateB) StateB (Event B includes: WaitForEventB, CodeBlockB, SetStateC) StateC (Event C includes: WaitForEventC, CodeBlockC, SetStateFinal) FinalState I have a WF client that fires EventA, and the WF moves as far as SetStateB. I would like to move *automatically* to StateB when I reach SetStateB. What is the best way to do this On the other hand, I don't want to use a Sequential WF because in the future, when I reach StateC I may wanna go back to StateA. Regards.

• SQL Server Problem with sample databases

  I have installed SQL Express 2005 together with VS 2005. After a while I found out that the sample databases (Northwind and Pubs) were missing, so I installed them. According to the 'Readme', which comes with the installation I could choose between attaching the db to the Server or running a SQL script. Neither works. I've read this link about remote connections ( http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx ). My development machine is just a local single computer and I still get this error message: 'An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure ...Show All

• Visual C# Shell32: problem with file handles - CLR does not close them

  in my app i monitor the filesystem for changes with FileSystemWatchers. When the change is detected the app performs some actions using Shell32 to obtain information from the filesystem. now the problem is that apparently the CLR not always closes the file handles immediately. this is rather annoying to the user because he's unable to change (write, delete, rename) these locked files or directories. the code i use is more or less like this: Shell32.Folder shell32Folder = SOME_PLACE_TO_START; foreach (Shell32.FolderItem item in shell32Folder.Items()) { this.myFileList.Add(item); } /* the Shell32 namespace is available * w ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataContracts & svcutil & generated proxy oh my!!

  First off, I am still learning and this question may be way off because of my lack of knowledge of web services and WCF. I have a class and I am wanting to create a data contract. For example, I have my WCF service in one namespace and then I have a class in another namespace and I want to pass this class to a WCF method. My question is where does this class need to reside Should it be included in the same namespace as the service contract Does it need to be referenced in the .svc file And what effect does the svcutil have with data contracts, does it need to be part of the generated proxy Thanks in advanced for you help! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Missing dependencies .?

  Hi having just applied some Crystal Reports patches my app has suddenly developed the following build errors. The dependency 'CrystalDecisions.VSShell' could not be found. The dependency 'Microsoft.VisualStudio' could not be found. This could be a coincidence but cannot see any other reason my app will suddenly show this.  Also, 2 datasets I had dropped onto my main form have disappeared and I cannot recreate.  I am given a message to rebuild and fix the errors first. Both these DLL's exist on my pc in the directories that are in the dependency path so not really sure how to resolve this. Any suggestions appreciated. Hel ...Show All
