• Visual Studio Tools for Office ExcelWorksheet with Deployment, assembly not found

  I have an ExcelWorkbook that uses an assembly and must be deployed using the integrated Setup deployment tool. The target computer runs Microsoft Office 2003 with Service Pack 1 or 2, and the .NET Framework version 2.0 I use Visual Studio 2005 Beta2, and everything works fine when testing it, but on the target computer (lacking VS2005), I get an error saying that "the assembly * was not found". The assembly being in the same directory with the document, the solution would be to set the custom properties "_AssemblyName0" to the name of the assembly and "_AssemblyLocation0" to the deployment directory. My question is: how can I do this du ...Show All

• Visual C# Capturing KeyPress "Always" !!

  Greetings... My Form needs to capture the KeyPress and KeyUp events. I did set the KeyPreview property to true and it works almost all the time ! When the application starts, it doesn't work... I fist need to touch something (i.e. give the focus to a control) so that the key press and up events could be treated properly. How can i go around this Thanks ! Acoquinar   Hi, since it's a good idea anyways to have one control on your form that gets the focus right away (so your user can start working with the tab-key and so on without having to click on the from prior to that) that's what you can to: Afte ...Show All

• .NET Development Dataset Current Row Position

  I am programatically creating a dataset with a table and need to know the current row number I am on before doing something else so I can get back to it. I have no controls bound to this dataset/table and would prefer to do everything in program. In the old days of recordsets I just used to get the bookmark of the current record and then go back to that bookmark. I have searched and can't find how to do this and I know it is probably really simple. Thanks DataTable (/DataSet) doesn't have a CurrentRow concept. If you want to refer back to some row while doing a foreach, you can simply save the Dat ...Show All

• .NET Development VS 2005 DataTable performance problems?

  Hi there, I have a app built in .NET 1.1 that I have recompiled in VS 2005. I've noticed that some highly iterative loops are now many orders of magnitude slower in 2.0. My loops process several thousand rows in a couple of seconds in 1.1, and in 2.0 they take about one second per row. Since I don't have a way to profile my code in VS 2005 (I used to use DevPartner for that), I'm guessing that this is caused by the DataTables or DataRows that I'm using through these loops. Mostly I'm doing .Selects and then reading data from the resulting DataRows. Are there any known conditions under which DataTables or DataRows would be SLOWER in 2.0 than ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get local directory of a web service

  I swear MSDN gets a little more useless all the time, as I've searched the .NET documentation to no avail on this one. I've created a web service, and I need to get the local path to the webservice directory. For instance, my webservice is located at the usual C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebService. I just need to get this string dynamically (without hard-coding it) so I can save off some files there at runtime. I tried Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase, but that gives me the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" directory that my assembly gets copied off to. Thanks, AJ I know that in W32 you can use Ge ...Show All
