• Visual Studio Tools for Office Removing Code and Action Pane from Excel

  How can I save an existing excel workbook that has code and action pane as a normal excel workbook with no code nor action pane. I can't see how "removecustomization" is useful. because i want to do that when the user presses a button from within the workbook lets say a submit btn. when pressed the workbook should deliver data to an external database and be saved as a normal workbook with no code nor action pane. how can i accomplish that i appreciate any help, thanks Sure, my 'testcase' was merely a quick test. You can do it at any time on other locations within your project. You can che ...Show All

• .NET Development Path.GetTempPath always the same?

  Will Path.GetTempPath always return a reference to the SAME root temp directory (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\myuser\Local Settings\Temp) or could it ever trigger creation of a temporary subdirectory I don't believe this method will ever create a directory.  I think it can change depending on what the environment variables are set to, but in general you should think of it as constant.

• SQL Server Collapsible reports

  Hi, I have a Dataset with repetitive data and i want to group all data based on a particular field and have it disaplayed as collapsible rows on a report. BTW i am generating reports dynamically in my APP.Any ideas on how to proceed If I understand correctly, you want to group your data and have the details toggled by the group. To do that, you just need to add a table group on the field, set the visibility properties on the detail row of the table - 1. it's toggled by a textbox in the group header 2. the initial visibility to be hidden if you want to start as collapsed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Revision history in source file

  Does anybody know whether it is possible to set TFS up to automatically apply check in comments and work-item IDs as comments to the top of a source file as it is checked in We used to use a system called PVCS Tracker integrated with Visual SourceSafe using PVCS-TrackerLink which would do this and it was very useful when looking at the source file to have a visual trace of its lifetime. So, we would have a file comment header like ... /********************* * $Revision: 35 $ * $Date: 6/04/06 10:15 $ * $Authour: Fred.Bloggs $ ********************* * * $History: MyFile.cs $ * ************* Version 35 ************** * User: Joe.Blow Date: ...Show All

• SQL Server How to remove unused columns and eliminate warnings

  I have hundreds of these I think mainly due to the way the union all task works.  Any ideas on ways to eliminate these Just an idea... As far as I understand SSIS columns are "recreated" behind an asynchronous transform... I.e. when you have a source with 2 fields (A and B), a derieved column task which calulates C by A+B, a sort by C passing A and B through it and a destination where you write A and C in a file you should get a warning that B is not used and can be removed... That's because B is passed through an asynchronous transform so it's a new column. And in fact, it's not used behind the sort... At least that's how I ...Show All
