• Visual Studio Tools for Office Most flexible deployment is to GAC?

  Working on a VSTO Word application. Users will need to be able to pull documents from a Sharepoint site that use the app as well as email them to each other, and also be able to work offline... Right now I have decided to install the assemblies into the application folder. However, I assume that if two users install into different app folders (or if Program Files is on D: for one user...) then they cannot email the document from one user to another and have it work (I haven't tested this yet). So it seems the best place to install the assemblies would be in the user's GAC and have them strong named and refer to them that way from the d ...Show All

• SQL Server Average on a calculated column in matrix

  Hi, i have some data i am showing in a matrix. The first row group is on month, the second row group is on year, in this way i get year on year reporting of my sales data. One of the columns i have in the matrix is a "average $ per hour". The calculation for this works nicely on each row, i just get the total sales, and divide by the number of hours in that particular month (which i calculate). So it looks like this (these figures are invented): Month Year Total sales Avg $ per hour May 2005 $123,456 $20.15 2006 $129,112 $21.56 June 2005 $100,449 $18.45 ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to install MSMQ on PocketPC 2003 Emulator with Visual Studio 2005?

  Hi! I am fairly new to Windows Mobile development, so maybe I am missing something fundamental here. I am sorry to say I got into some endless link loops while searching for clues within MSDN documentation... I have two applications for .NET Compact framework that I want to run on PocketPC 2003, and later on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. One is a windows application, the other a service process without user interface. The windows application requests data from the server and gets responses. Now I had some problems finding out how to do that with .NET CF, and settled on Message Queueing with MSMQ. Compiling on Visual Studio 5.0 works f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to change the connection string property of a Web test datasource?

  Hi all, thanks in advance for your help. We are developing a series of web tests to be used for performance testing. These tests use a local database for parameter data. What I have not been able to change is the connection string of the web test datasource. If we move the tests to another testers machine, they have to create a new datasource, re-establish all of the bindings in the Form Post parameters and then delete the original data source. Is there something I am missing here It may just be a case of 'functions as designed' due to security concerns. Thanks, Shawn Unfortu ...Show All

• Visual C# ? VS2005: Where did Class View->Add->Override go ?

  In Visual Studio 2003, you can use Class View to navigate to a virtual member of a base class, then right-click that member and choose Add|Override. In Visual Studio 2005, this is not available. Where did it go Is there an alternative and equally convenient way of doing it # Thanks! I just finished struggling with the same problem and I wanted to shed some light on another way to accomplish the override. In the class diagram window, right-click on the derived class where you want the new overriden method to go. Navigate to the 'Intellisense' menu, and then to 'Override Members'....

  I am trying to register a com object (dll) with regserv32 in Vista 5231.
