• Visual Studio Tools for Office Multithreading in VBA for Excel

  How do you Multithread in VBA for Excel I know how to do it in Visual Basic Studio but I cant get it to work for Excel Is there a certain reference I need There is very limited information on the web about multithreading in Excel.  The web also says Excel Visual Basic 6.3 has multithreading capabilities. Thanks If anyone has a simple example, such as two drawings moving simultaneously (not turn based, that appears to be simultaneously) Does anyone have an example of the API calls that would be used for threading My threading has used OWL2 up to this point - so no direct API calls. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't stop StoryBoard

  I am creating an animation in procedural code. Nothing fancy, it just rotates a canvas. I initiate the animation like this TheAnimation.From = 0; TheAnimation.To = 360; TheAnimation.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior .Forever; TheAnimation.Duration = new Duration ( TimeSpan .FromMilliseconds(2000)); // 2 secs per revolution SpinCanvas.BeginStoryboard(TheStoryboard); How can I stop it The sample code in the SDK ( How to: Control a Storyboard After It Starts) suggests that this will do the trick, but no dice. TheStoryboard.Stop(SpinCanvas ); Is it taking me too literally on the "Forever" part ...Show All

• Architecture One Server AD, Exchange & MS-SQL

  Hi All, Is it possible to run AD, File Sharing, Exchange and MS-SQL all on one Xeon server with 2GB RAM Beside the obvious that all the eggs are in one basket. This is for a small environment with only 30 users. My concern is that there are some conflict running all those application on one server. TIA I am not an infrastructure expert - but I would expect them all to install I would say though that you will probably run into performance problems - 2GB hardly seems enough - plus you didn't specify the storage you use, but I am guessing you do not have a SAN attached to that server - in w ...Show All

• .NET Development Deserializing a *Node from an XmlSerializer written .xml

  Im in the process of trying to figure the best design for logging some Exceptions that may occur in my application *(due to legacy data).  I have basically created a class that keeps track of relevant bits of information about each exception and then uses XmlSerializer to log this to a file. I have no problem say, serializing an array of the same class, but, I've read that it's possible to deserialize a single node of the xml file, and I've been working a bit with the relative classes but haven't found how this is possible.... something along the lines of (pseudo code): node.deserialize   I'm trying to create a logger that  ...Show All

• Windows Forms getting the error description of an invalid data entry

  I use databinding to bind a textbox into a bindingSource (VS2005). The column the textbox is bound is of integer type. When the user enters a non integer value the binding stuff do not allow focus to be lost from the control, until the user corrects the error. How can I take a generic description of that error so that I can display it to the end-user using a errorProvider control, so that the users knows what the error is Do I have to write custom code in the Validating event even for this trivial check Something like this Private Sub txtInteger_Validating( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.Canc ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express on VISTA

  Greetings! I tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express on my VISTA Beta 2 Box but before doing so, I checked if IIS is already installed and running. During the assesment of my current configuration, SQL Server 2005 Express is still looking for IIS. Are the conflicts regarding IIS 7.0 to SQL Server Express or the feature is not yet available. I will be continuing to do experiments with this one and hope there will be people who can share their experiences too. Thanks! I could not get SQL Express running yet, too. But it seems to be a known issues, because before installation I got an error that is a known compatibilty issue. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development making a web service call

  folks, i'm attempting to make a web service call in evc++ application for PPC. actually, i am back-porting the code from VS2005 and finding that "atlsoap.h" does not exist under evc++ 4. is there an equivalent or work-around I doubt there is an equivalent, but for a workaround, if your web service allows POST requests, I would suggest using XMLHTTP object. It provides a (more) convenient way of sending requests and receiving XML-formatted responses. Techinically, you could even build SOAP requests and receive SOAP responses this way, but of course it's more work ...Show All

• Visual C# How to handle cancelation of a file selection by a user, in a helpermethode

  I’m trying to design a standard methode that returns a SqlConnection to its client. If the methode can’t find the standard file for whatever reason, it should open an OpenFileDialog form with which the user can select the correct file.   My problem is that when the OpenFileDialog opens, it is possible that the user selects the cancel button. This means that the standard methode will not return a correct SqlConnection object. This will then call an exception in the client methode that I can handle, but I can’t define if this exception is due to a cancellation by the user in which case I don’t need to warn the user but just nee ...Show All
