• Visual Studio Tools for Office WebService and VSTO project, on diff. machines and planets

  Hello!   I will give 1 million kisses to the 1 st person to clarify the following issue I have a VSTO project and a WebService project. I can send data to the WebService and retrieve data. Both of the projects are linked on my pc and everything works. The thing is that I need to export my VSTO project to lets say machine A (in my toilet) and my WebService project to machine B (over in my attic). Does it involve the same process as linking a VSTO project to a local host web service, because I am having a very wonderful experience!     Thanks. Solved : need to ADD the Service. ...Show All

• SQL Server Error rendering sub-reports

  I have a report (ReportA) that is a matrix showing monthly figures for 1 of 20 different items (think of monthly sales figures for 20 different products).  In order to obtain a report for all 20 items, it is necessary to generate this report 20 times.  To ease generating the reports, I created a new report(ReportB) that has a simple table displaying the recordset of all 20 items.  The single cell of the report contains a subreport object tied to ReportA.  Each record is passed to the subreport as the parameter of the subreport. The table is grouped by the items and a page break is inserted at the end of each gro ...Show All

• Visual Basic Create Unique File name in ASP on Windows 2003 server

• Windows Forms GDI : Mouse over the pie's slice's area

  Hi all, I am newbie in .net and right now i have a problem I Try to make pie chart graph using graphics.FillPie. I want to make each slice have onClick event on it. but the problem is How can i know if the mouse is over the slice's area Thx b4 Deep Dreams Deep Dreams, Once drawing operations are made to a Graphics object, they no longer exists as individual objects. There won't be a way for you to get at that object for mouse events, change its locations etc. That leaves you with at least two options that I can think of: Option 1: One option is to re-create a little bit of the logic that Windows uses for man ...Show All

• Visual Basic F1 Doesn't Search Online Help

  I'm new to using VB 2005 Express 8.0.50727.42; previously I have only used VBA for OfficeXP (VB6, it seems).  Fresh install of VB and Ihave not installed the optional MDS Express Library.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I connect to my SQL Server 2000 with VS Express

  I seem to be having a difficult time connecting to my local SQL Server 2000 from VS 2005 Express. Can it be done If not, is there a way to import a table from SS2000 somehow Thanks. If SQL 2000 is on the same machine as VWD Express you should be able to connect.  I think remote access to servers is not supported.  You would need Standard or above for that. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30321: The name you typed is already used for another team project

  I had a project fail part way through creation (sharepoint timed out on creation for some reason) and it also failed to "back out" of creation properly.  Now when I try to create a project with that same name I get error TF30321 "TF30321: The name you typeed is already used for another team project on the Team Foundation Server.  Type a unique name for the new team project." I would have thought this was a big problem, but I had already successfully created a project and have since created another project so it seems to be some intermittent issue or timing problem.  I'll post up on the failure separately.  What I'm more c ...Show All
