• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problems with more than one window with Outlook 2003

  Hi, I hope you guys can help me again :)...here's a problem described by a user of my Add-In (I don't know if it could be related to VSTO or not, but who knows ) Hi, If you are updating the toolbar in NewExplorer event, it seems that the CommandBars are not yet available for the Explorer that is being created and will throw an exception.

• Visual Studio ReportViewer drillthrough in WebForms looking for .rdlc instead of .rdl in Local processing

  I am creating a ASP.NET application for reporting. I have created the reports (.rdl) using the Report designer. I keep all these .rdl files in a folder and this reporting application will list these reports. Clicking on a report will generate the report. I am reading the rdl xml to get the query and query parameters, then retrieve the data and add datasource to the LocalReport. This is working fine. In the drillthrough event I get the original drillthrough parameters and retrieving the data and setting it to the drillthrouh report. But it the report is looking for the .rdlc file.

• .NET Development ConfigurationManager not recognized

  I am using VB.  I added a reference to the System.configuration library, and I still cannot use the ConfigurationManager namespace. This is very strange. I can't think of anything except a silly mistake I made some time ago, when I accidentally named a class of mine System and everything stopped working! It took me about an hour to find out what was the problem! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unloading an Add-In

  Hi, I would like my add-in to load only after it had detected that another feature is installed on the local machine (this feature can be removed without notice, hence we do not check it existence while installing the add-in). If the feature isn't there i would like to display a message to the user and unload the Add-In. Where is the best place to put this validation code I tried using it on the OnConnection event handler, but when i instruct the Add-In to diconnect (connected=false) i end up seeing an error generated by VS. Is there an example on how to do that Thank you in advance, Ariel Setti ...Show All

• Visual C# Design Time Collection Editing

  I am creating a custom menu. I would like to edit it in the same mannor as the ContextMenuStrip is done. Such as the menu on the design form, etc. Is this possible My object contains a ToolStripItemCollection just like the Context Menu Strip... If you could help or atleast point me to a place that would be very helpful. Thanks, Mike Mike, Anything's possible if you want to try hard enough! And Microsoft managed to do this...
