• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA for Powerpoint

I have the following code, but need to get it up and running. Any suggestions: Sub ImportABunch() Dim strTemp As String Dim strFileSpec As String Dim oSld As Slide Dim oPic As Shape strFileSpec = C:\PFS Pictures\beach party *.PNG 'Ex. on a PC: C:\My Pictures\Flowers\*.PNG strTemp = Dir(strFileSpec) Do While strTemp <> Set oSld = ActivePresentation.Slides.

• Visual Basic Query: Sharing Information between forms in a MDI

  Hi, I am trying to develop an IDE similar to that of Visual Studio. To enable docking I am using the Dock Suite by Weifen Luo. I have created two forms a) frmTreeView: it contains only treeview control b) frmProperty: it contains only PropertyGrid Control When the main form is loaded I populate the TreeView Control and the tag for the nodes are set using a class which gets sets one text value and one integer as an example. What I am trying to do is when a node is selected, I would like to display its properties into the PropertyGrid (frmProperty) using .

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) GridLengthAnimation missing

  There is no such thing as a GridLengthAnimation which makes it impossible to animate the Grid panel. And since Value of GridLength isn't a dependencyproperty it can't be animated either. Would be nice to have this in a later CTP so that "everything" can be animated. Thanks for a great API! There's this work around that might help you depending on your design. However, you can always write your own implementation by simply writing your own AnimationTimeline implementation that returns GridLengths. For an example of how this would be done, check out Ian Griffiths post where he writes a samp ...Show All

• SQL Server RDA with Linked Servers

  I am developing a WM5 program (C#.NET) using SQL Server Mobile, using RDA to pull and push data from/to SQL2005.

When I try to perform an RDA PULL operation from Windows Mobile 5 (Smartphone emulator) I get the following error: “The query cannot be tracked.

• .NET Development Inconsistent InvalidCastException and FormatException errors

  Recently we have started getting InvalidCastException and FormatException errors on 3 clients out of > 100 that are in use. We believe it is caused by the upgrade of our application from .Net 1.1 to .Net 2.0. In one case we get the following message - System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "0" to type 'Integer' is not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. In this particular case the error happened when user A was logged in but not when user B was logged in. Both users used the same PC. Even though this looks like a bug I suspect that there is some configuration i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Set Syste Locale in web test

  Besides, HTTP language header, the web page I am testing looks for system locale (from control panel) to decide what language of page to load. How do I simulate this in Web Test Hi Bart1, I'd suggest converting the web test to a coded web test, and programmatically set the system locale before executing the web test. Then on test completion, restore the previous value. See this walkthrough for more info on creating a coded web test. Cheers, David ...Show All
