• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Using Excel from Access

• Windows Forms Version independent settings?

  If I add a .settings file to my Visual Studio Windows Forms project, it works great. However, in my AssemblyInfo.cs file, if the AssemblyVersion is set to "1.0.0.*" (Visual Studio will automatically increment the last number), then every time I build & run my app, I lose any settings I've saved because the version has been incremented. It appears the settings file is not version independent. Is there a way around this problem AssemblyV ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can I set or simulate a RowSpan for my images in a table?

  I want to span my image across multiple rows in a table. Cannot get it to work, and cannot find any properties to accomplish this. Any suggestions Thanks in advance Here is a suggestion: for the overall layout, you could use a list and put a table inside to control the text layout. The image would go directly into the list. In order to center the image within a certain vertical space, you could apply the approach discussed in t ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005. Dynamically assigned column name? Is it possible?

  Is it possible Select * from Mytable Where (@ColName=@ColValue) No. You cannot execute dynamic SQL like that. You have to form a valid SQL statement as a string and execute it using EXECUTE or sp_executesql. See one of those topics in Books Online for more details. Ex: set @sql = 'select * from MyTable where ' + quotename(@ColName) + ' = @colValue' exec sp_executesql @sql, N'@colValue varchar(10)', @colValue = @colValue ...Show All

• .NET Development Metafile not print on correct size

  I want to be able to create a Metafile on the fly based on an other Metafile and then save it. Later, load this new metafile and print it with exact specific dimensions. Since Metafile class on dotNet does not allow you to save as Metafile using the SAVE method, I had to use a method I found on the Internet where I create a RECORDABLE metafile that helps me to create a metafile and save it into a stream (also I have to us ...Show All
