• .NET Development AppDomain.Load

  Hi! I have some problems with loading assemblies in a new AppDomain. When I invoke myAppDomain.Load(string) I get the following exception: File or assembly name ...dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found. I have tried loading an assembly that does not depend on any assemblies other than those referenced by console applications. I have googled a lot, but have not found any magic line of code that fixes this. This is roughly what I do: Evidence currentEvidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence; Evidence newEvidence = new Evidence(currentEvidence);; AppDomainSetup domainSetup = new AppDomainSetup(); AppDomain newDomain = null ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to open an Infopath form from Outlook VSTO2005 add-in.

  I can open my form with Process.Start("Iexplore.exe", ls_Filename), but cannot Process.Start("infopath.exe", ls_Filename) if ls_filename is a long file name with spaces in it. Infopath startst, but gives a file not found error with the name up to the first space. Any help Is there a better way to start Infopath from an Outlook VSTO2005 add-in Can I inclide the Infopath namespace somehow Filenames with spaces need to be enclosed in quotation marks when passes to the command line.

• SQL Server Aggregation Design Wizard hangs after Count

  After clicking the Count button in this wizard, the counts are entered, but the Next button remains greyed out. This started to happen recently on a small development database. Not sure what development changes caused the wizard to stop working. The wizard still works fine on an AdventureWorks database on the same instance of AS2005. Any comments/advice appreciated. Thank you Aggregation Design Wizard needs to obtain estimated counts of members in a dimensions. For that it will try to connect to relational database and issue query to obtain counts.

• Visual Basic Reporting Visual Basic Express

  Hey everyone, DOes anyone know or is it even possible to just produce a very simple report in VB Express 2005 i.e. a letter with an address on with info taken from a form, which can then be printed. Surely this must be bread and butter programming Hope you can help Hi, Sadly, VB Express doesn't include any reporting tool. But you can use third party products to display your report. One example of this is Excel. You can use excel's API's or PIA's to throw your data and format it to enable the user to print it. Its not as elegant as crystal reports, but still, you can produce a report... cheers, Paul June A. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Integrating validation information within XML

  I am designing a client tool, similar to Microsoft's Security Baseline Analyzer, that will validate the parameters in the configuration files of services my team deploys. The tool will prompt the user for a number of questions. These questions are displayed on the tool's UI by reading off an XML question file. This has been done for scalability. Validation begins after getting the user's responses. My initial design involved hardcoding which validation parameters to check, which sub-routines to call, etc. in the tool itself. Not too scalable though and tedious when newly added parameters need to be validated. Is there some way I c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't Download .NET Framework 2 and VB Express

  I've downloaded the setup file and can run it. It's reached the point where it says it is downloading 60MB of stuff comprising .NET Framework 2.0 and VB 2005 Express Edition but it just sits there with a transfer rate of 0KB/sec. Went to the troubleshooting guide and tried a few things that did not work (the BITS stuff which required Genuine Window checking which did not work - says it is no longer supported or something like that - after downloading the GenuineCheck.exe). Oh yes, I've tried rebooting the PC and tried running setup again at least 6 times without success. I'm feeling lost and a bit disillusioned by the initial " ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hyperlink within a TextBlock?

  Hi again folks, It used to be you would use RepositionWithContent() -- that method went away with the PDC CTP. So, I'm feeling mighty dumb here (although the sparse documentation on this might be contributing to that feeling...) -- how on earth can I shove a hyperlink within a TextBlock now (and is that even the right way to approach it anymore ) Thanks in advance, John I'm still learning this stuff - can you give a short example of what you used to do, and what it accomplished What I know so far is to do this:   <TextBlock>     Click     <Hyperlink NavigateU ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid system time
