• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cypress questions

    I read the Cypress announcement and I have some questions. It is unclear to me what functionality will be usable in VS2005 and what will require an upgrade to VS2007. Specifically, I am interested in Word application-level add-in support (like IDTExtensibility2, as opposed to the document-centric approach of the current VSTO) and custom taskbars. I also am interested to know whether any of these features above (and any others) will be supported by Cypress under previous versions of Word (2003 and/or XP). I am a bit confused about the following statement: " I want to be clear that Cypress is not a super-set of all t ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005, MS Access Merge Replication?

• Visual FoxPro cannot update cursor < > since it is read-only

  I am getting this error message at RUNTIME ONLY in startMode = 4. In interactive mode (starMode = 0) everything works fine. This message comes from a secondary form that I use to select email addresses. They are stored in a table with a few fields. I dedicated one of them as a markup field meaning that if that address is selected in a combobox it is marked, the table is updated as TABLEUPDATE (1). I mean, it is supposed to be updated. It is not . Instead I get a series of error messages related to each address selected (main address, CC, BCC, etc). I do not understand the message because there is no cursor. It is a table. Again, it appear ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Manually move VC++ 2k5 Express installation files

  Good evening... Admiittedly I'm being somewhat anal, but I'd like to move a few of the directories around that VC++ 2005 Express created when I installed it. Generally, I'd like to split the IDE & Help files from the library and compiler. I previously installed the VC2k3 Toolkit in my C:\Cpp\VCToolkit2003 directory.  So I wanted to move the bin, lib, and include sub directories of the VC directory that VC++2k5 Express installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC into C:\Cpp\VCToolkit2005. Can I do this and just change the directories under Tools | Options | Projects and Solutions | VC++ Directoreis On a related note, ...Show All

  Does an Assembly have a manifest/metadata that tells the title of the project that it came from I tried to look at the assemblyinfo.cs of one of the project that isn't mine and the only lead that I have is the: [assembly: AssemblyTitle ( "" ) However, there are projects in our company that the AssemblyTitle is different from the project name. There are also several instances wherein the Assembly name is different from the project name. Please advice. No there's no such metadata. You don't need Visual Studio to build assemblies so there may not even be a project. I'm curious why you need the pro ...Show All
