• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Thread Safety on Windows Forms

  I would like to implement all my windows application logic based on workflows. This is, even the actions of showing forms and all possible pre and post actions. This way I could customize an application for a customer without needing to change code... The problem is that, as far as I know, the instance can only run on a different thread than the UI process... this way, for example, I can't open a MDIChild on a workflow... Can I run the workflow on the same thread of the UI process Thanks! Alex I never eard of that 'till now... I'll try it tonight and get back here to report the results :) Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Deployment question - additional files on network share?

  I am in the process of changing the deployment model of a VSTO Word solution that is currently deployed locally. It needs to be deployed on a network share, so that all user's solution Word documents, whether email to one another or accessed from a Sharepoint site, point to the same assemblies and can be used with the VSTO solution. Users will often be working offline, and it is my understanding that the assemblies from the network shares will automatically be cached onto the users' local machines. However, we have additional files that are needed by the application, including an XSD that we bind to the document, the assembly.dll.co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Keyhook event handling at Word Document level

  Hi, We are on VSTO Customizations for Word 2003. We binded the XML Schema to the word document. At some of the nodes we need to capture the keys entered by the user and based on that we need to do some action. For that we have written KeyHook events. The following link is the source of our reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/10/CuttingEdge/ For that we added filters and allowing the keyhook event only being fired based on the matching filters (or keys for which we enable firing). The keyhook event is getting fired when user presses a key (which matches filter conditions set) at the document window. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot get cd to autorun

  I am using VB Express to create an application and am pulling my hair out trying to get the cd to autorun. Using Project->Properties->Publish and then Options... I have checked "For CD installations, automatically start Setup when CD is inserted" In the publish folder, it creates an Autorun.inf file that contains: [autorun] open = setup.exe icon = setup.exe,0 Then, using Iomega Hot Burn Pro I add all of the files in the publish folder to a cd and burn the cd. When I insert it into any one of multiple different PCs nothing happens. I have verified that all of the test PCs have autorun enabled by insertin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Severe delay when right clicking larger source controlled projects in VS 2005

  I have a web application project which consists of 1499 source controled files (listed by type below[1]). Right clicking this solution in VS 2005 delays the context menu for about five seconds. It seems like the IDE is actually trying to determine what source control operations are available by going over every single file. Seems to me like the QueryEnabled implementation for the various commands on both the context menu and the Team Foundation Source Control menu bar are performing some costly checks. Is there a way to disable these checks with a registry entry of some kind Like... tell it not to go check the status of every single file and ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista quartz.dll SP2 debug

  Just wondering, last time I looked (when DirectShow was included with the DirectX SDK) the quartz debug dll was pre SP2, now in the Platform SDK it does not seem to exist at all. (I have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK). Does a quartz debug dll exist in a later Platform SDK If not, is there going to be one Earlier I really liked the debug dll since I would get information about interfaces that was not released and everything like that. And now when I'm going through another development phase it would be really nice to have all that great functionality back. Using the SP1 version of the dll won't work since I need some SP2 features.
