• Visual C++ Problem with MFC Wizards in VS2005

  I'm having an issue with any VC++ wizards that have a drop-down menu item in VS2005. When selecting a new MFC project or solution that has drop down options (such as view class), attempting to select an option with the mouse causes the wizard to immediately close and lose or not create the project. VS doesn't crash but its extremely annoying. Keyboard does work properly, however. I have uninstalled and updated mouse drivers, rebooted, changed mice, etc...but still getting the error. Wasn't sure if this is a bug or whether anyone else has seen the problem. I know the future is all about .net and C#, but I still do MFC and ATL stuff and wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook and ASP.NET

  Hello, I have read things about VSTO and have heard people say about cool things you can do with outlook using VSTO. I was wondering if there was a way to use the power of VSTO from within an ASP.NET application. I currently have a ASP.NET application that would like to set up appointments in outlook and such, but im finding it to be a pain. Can someone give me some ideas or guidance in this area Thanks Mark Mark, You can't really "use VSTO inside ASP.NET", especially in the way you describe. Working with Outlook data needs to happen either inside of Outlook using the Outlook OM or by access ...Show All
