• Visual Studio Tools for Office Opening multiple VSTO enabled WordML docs

  Hi, I am creating wordml files in managed code, attach my VSTO solution using ServerDocument, and open them using Process.Start ("myWordMLFile.xml"). The odd thing is that if word is already open, the wordml file is not opened. Process.Start seems to work fine, because MSOXMLED.exe shows up for a second in the processes, but the file is never opened. When there is no word process running, everything works fine. Does anybody know a solution *without* starting "winword.exe" with the filename as argument This app will be widely deployed and I don't want to mess around with the different installation pat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS 2005 Beta 2 CDs instead of DVD

  I was just wondering if CD images were available for download somewhere instead of the massive DVD image.  I don't have a DVD burner on my work machine. If I have to go with the DVD image, I know I can extract the files and then burn CDs. However, is there a layout somewhere that tells me what will fit on what CD Thanks. MSDN Subscribers (not sure if there's a level restriction or not) will receive DVDs in a forthcoming (June ) shipment. These images were not complete until early April, which was too late for the May shipment. MSDN Subscriber Downloads simply provides you earlier access to the bits ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextRenderer and TextRenderingHint

  Am I missing something or does the new TextRenderer.DrawText method not support the TextRenderingHint All of the text it draws is pixelated instead of being anti-aliased. I'm passing it a graphics object with the TextRenderingHint set to Anti-Alias but that doesn't seem to work. Also, the TextRenderer output doesn't look anything like a label control with the same text. What is the point of this new class again Ok... If I set the TextRenderingHint of the graphics object to AntiAlias, the TextRenderer output looks like ***. If I set it to SystemDefault, it matches the look of a label control with the ...Show All

• SQL Server An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

  I recently re-formated my personal server and installed SQL Server 2005 on it instead of 2000 which I previously used. Now, I have imported the databases to the new SQL Server 2005, but I seem to get the following error when trying to access the database (from my asp.net page)   I've googled and searched the forum, without any luck. Now I was hoping for someone to answer this question, or perhaps guide me in the right direction.   Note: I've tried 5-6 different solutions that I found on the net, in vain.       Server Error in '/ph' Application. ---------------------------------------------- ...Show All

• .NET Development How to programmatically release logical port ?

  Hi All I am developing an application host (Remoting listener) from C# v1.1 for windows clients. I am using logical port ( say 9000 ) for my server to listen for the client’s request, I need to release/close the logical port when ever I restart my listener, so, how can I programatically release/close any logical port used by my application Thanks!

• .NET Development Getting truncated socket bytes

  Hi, I am listening to a port for data but I am not able to recieve whole data, I only get truncated data. Client sends me data that exceeds 40K and the data I recieve in my callback function is always 8K to 9K. I dont get the rest of the data.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Preventing a Null

  Hello Folks, This is my first post, so please forgive me any mistakes. I have a form I have connected to a menu that allows the user to add color names that appear in a combo box on the main form. All works well. If the user tries to add a new record and save it, alas an error. I expect that because the two fields in the DB are set to "Do not allow Nulls." I want to build in some error checking so that when the user tries to save nothing (Null), a message box appears and allows them to correct the mistake. Anyone got any pointers for me Remember, I am very new to programming and this answer is probably stari ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to embed child datagrid into its parent in windows forms

  Hi  I want to embed a child datagrid into its parent grid in windows forms so that the user can select some rows in the child for processing.
