• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem deleting excel sheets

  I have noticed a behavior that I hope is not intentional.   If a user of my Excel VSTO project deletes one of the sheets that is referred to by one of the managed sheet classes (ie Class Sheet1), the next time the application is started this class picks a new sheet to bind itself to.   I hope I am explaining this clearly.     Here are the steps to reproduce.   Create a new Excel VSTO project. Run the Excel app. *Delete one of the ‘managed sheets’ (I will use Sheet1) from the workbook. *Add a new sheet to the workbook. Save and close the Excel app. Restart the Excel app – Setting a bre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Recommended Uninstall/Reinstall procedure?

  I have a system that had Beta1 on it, and I'm trying to install the FebCTP. But I'm getting odd errors. The FebCTP installed just fine into a virtual machine, so it must be conflicting with the old beta1.

• Windows Forms I use the print class of FotoVision to make a image print program, why doesn't it work?

  The following code is from FotoVision, I make a image print program using the class, but it doesn't work. Only after I have installed the FotoVision (The name of setup program is " FotoVision Desktop.msi ") my program just work.

• Visual Studio devenv /setup takes a lot of time...

  Just wondering why devenv /setup from Beta2 takes so much time in compare with VS .NET 2002/2003... Hi there. Not sure if I have the right forum but... I have a setup project. It installs a package successfully into VS2002 and VS2003. The last thing in the list of actions is a (Devenv) /setup custom action. However this last step fails for VS2005 Beta 2. If I remove the /setup and instead (after install of the MSI is completed) type in 'devenv /setup' via the command prompt all is OK. Any ideas on this one Thanks ...Show All

• .NET Development Deprecated API?

  I am migrating a body of C++ code from VS .NET 2003 to 2005. While still in the documentation, GCHandle::op_Explicit() seems to have vanished (the compiler and intellisense no longer know about it). Does anybody know if this was intentional or accidental Thanks Henry op_explicit (and other op_ ) methods are "pseudo" functions that are used by compilers in place of standard operators like addition and conversion. In the case of op_explicit it is defining an explicit conversion from one type to another. This permits you to do a typecast and the compiler not complain about it. As far as I kn ...Show All

• SQL Server Ctrl+Tab not working

  Having an issue with the navigation keys. When I first installed Studio I could Hold Ctrl and tab through the active windows, then on releasing the buttons I would move to that active window. Now when I press Ctrl+Tab the list will come up, but wont jump to the screen I end on. The quick link window will stay up and the only way I can transfer windows is hitting Enter or clicking on the desired window with my mouse. Any ideas on this "seemingly simple" issue. I went through all of the Tools -> Options window with no luck. ...Show All
