• Visual Studio Tools for Office Transferring a DataSet into a VSTO Workbook.

  Before I dive into my question, let me first start by saying I know what I'm trying to do is difficult at best and maybe impossible, but I figured I'd go ahead and ask and see if anyone has found a solution because I know quite a few others are running into this limitation of VSTO. I have an application that spawns multiple windows with spreadsheets in them. The application loads some data into a DataSet and then displays the resulting data on the spreadsheet for user editing. After the user is finished editing, s/he is able to save the data back to the database. Unfortunately, I am having to use my own ListObject at the moment. What I wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems after reinstalling SharePoint

  I have to reinstall the WSS after a problem with a Language Pack Service Pack. After that, Foundation couldn't create new team projects anymore.

• Visual Studio I do now have a minimal test case.

  I am trying to abort a commandline initiated build before it does any work. I have a OnBuildBegin handler that does some checking to see whether to actually build. None of my current approaches work reliably. Invoking Build.Cancel in the handler. As far as I can tell, commands are not availablewhen running in commandline mode. Is that correct, or am I missing something Using the HRESULT for the callback. As far as I can tell, that value is ignored. Hook into CommandEvents.BeforeExecute. I believe the same limitation will apply here as for invoking Build.Cancel. Commands seem to not be accessible (the build is not started via a command). ...Show All

• Architecture design issues in client-server system

  Hi, I design a soft real-time system that should handle different clients’ requests and activities (such as telephone calls, processing of different types of events occurring during the calls, inserting these calls into the Data Base). Thus my server has to provide the client with suitable interfaces allowing opening new session, new call, close the call, update the call etc. and, at the same time, the server has to send events that can be raised as result of changing in the calls status to these clients . Also the system should support some kind of “keep alive”. I am going to use Indigo as my infrastructure (duplex interface) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a was to disable code analysis for an entire file?

  The VS 2005 generated files for datasets generate numerous warning messages under code analysis. Suppressing these messages individually is counter-productive, since the next time the files are generated by VS 2005 the suppression messages are lost. Is there a "global" way to suppress messages for individual files, similar to the ModuleSuppression.cs technique I put a suggestion up for this a few days ago as well: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=964e49c1-9e2c-4997-b93f-8ff40ac7149f ...Show All
