• Visual Studio Tools for Office Suspending the Word background repagination

  Hi, How can I suspend the Word 2003 background repagination while I update a document. Suspending this is necessary because of the amount of changes on the document. I have found the Word.Application.ScreenUpdating property setting to false,  it's ok but still not enough, this does not disable the background repagination.   Thanks in advance: Kazi My phone is 77p-979-8811 and email is sandy.luttrell@hp.com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Empty results generated when code coverage is enabled

  I enable code coverage on a certain signed assembly. Then, I run the test and get the following in the code coverage results: Empty results generated: none of the instrumented binary was used.

• .NET Development ComboBoxes and DataBinding

  Okay, so I need to build a database program that will only allow certain strings to be posted to the database, so I decide to use comboboxes, easy, right ... NOT! I set the data source property and the databinding properties and now it won't let me fill the Items property. Is there any way around this or am I WAY off in using a combobox Thanks. Ealdormere. When you use databinding on a control you shouldn't be modifying the Items property at all. Databinding will set the Items property based on the data provided. You only need to modify Items when you are not using data binding. If you want to ...Show All
