• Visual C# Need Help Learning C# after Java

  I would like to learn about C# and .NET. I'm coming from a Java background. I know this question has been asked many times, but I couldn't find anything with the search.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Access to the contents of ThisDocument

  I apologize for another newbie question, but I've been searching everywhere for this... How to I get the bytes of the current document (Globals.ThisDocument) I was going to use Globals.ThisDocument.FullName to read the file from the filesystem, but quickly discovered that when editing in IE, that actually contains the URL of the doc, not the physical path (I thought it might contain the IE temp file path). I'd rather not save to disk but if I can't get at the content in the running VSTO app, maybe I'll have to. Another thing I'd like to do is a SaveAs (to save doc in different format) without the user knowing. But I can't figure out how ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sharing same workflow instance with two different WWF Runtimes

  Hi, is it possible to share the same workflow with two different workflow runtimes on two different hosts. This means both runtimes can listen to events for the same workfow instance, however each will listen to different events within the workflow instance not the same event. Akram, This does work but you'll need to use a persistence service that can be shared between the runtimes (e.g. the SQL persistence runtime). You will need a way to resume the instance into your host on receipt of the event. I've implemented something like this that allows a host to manage long running processes across a web farm - the events in this sc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Specifying non-attribute data to a Task

  I understand how to write tasks for "simple" definitions (i.e. all necessary data encoded in node attributes), but I've done a fair amount of research and testing and I can't figure out how to write a "complex" task. What I'd like to be able to do is parse the following: <MyCustomTask x="x" y="y"> <MyItem a="a1" b="b1" /> <MyItem a="a2" b="b2" /> </MyCustomTask> Where there are a variable number of SubItems. I've tried writing a MyItem task (that extends Task) and making an array of them a property of MyCustomTask, but still get th ...Show All

• Visual C++ determining application path in VS 8, C++ MFC

  I am migrating a Pocket PC application from eVC++ 3 to VS 2005 . The eVC++ 3 application used AfxGetApp()->m_pszHelpFilePath from which I parsed out a path to the application startup directory. In VS 2005 , the m_pszHelpFilePath is not supported and m_pszExeName , and m_pszAppName both return the program name without any path information.

• Windows Forms Customizing tab order

  I have 40 textboxes on a form and I want to use alt&right to move through the first 20 textboxes only and then when tabindex 20 is reached it returns to tabindex 0, hopefully in a button event. I would prefer not to do seperate keydown, keypress and keyup events for each textbox. This is what I tried so far but it doesn't work, when it reaches tabindex 20 it goes to tabindex 21. private void Form_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyChar == ( char ) Keys .Tab){ Control ctrlNext; ctrlNext = this .ActiveControl; if (ctrlNext.TabIndex < 20) {ctrlNext = this .GetNextControl(ctrlN ...Show All
