• Visual Studio Tools for Office Enable/disable popups in main menu

  Hi; We have an Add-In where we need to enable/disable a couple of menu items based on the location of the caret in the document. As an example, think of the Cut menu item in Edit - it is only enabled if text is selected in the document. Is there any event or any other method where we can enable/disable the menu items just before the menu is displayed. Possibly an event that occurs when the user clicks on the main level menu that will cause it's menu to drop down At present we use the select change event. But this is a bad solution both because it is fired all the time so we are using a lot of CPU cycles and because it does not fire when the ...Show All

• SQL Server Import flat file automatically?

  Hi, I'm going to be getting several flat files that need to be imported into one of two tables. Although the text files will have different file names, they will have either "Header" or "Detail" in the file name, so I can tell which table they need to be imported into. The problem is I don't know enough about SQL Server 2005 to set up an automated import of these files into the database. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this, or have any experience in setting this up Are there any inexpensive programs to load data realtime or on a schedule (I work for a young company with a very tight budget). I ha ...Show All

• .NET Development Using Configuration Classes

  Hi, Does anyone has a little peace of code, how to write any key value pair or a value of a control used in a form application into a users roaming profile. All microsoft documentations and news groups threads I read, speach about easy to use configuration classes I have studied hundrets of documents and discussions but I have not found any usable example to simpliy store the windows location in a user based <apps>.config file in the path of the users profile, which will be automatically reused on restart the application. For me, this section of the library is not very easy to use and miss designed, as long as must code more ...Show All

• .NET Development Connect to Oracle Database programmatically using .NET 2.0

  I am a little confused about this. I have worked with SQL Server databases extensively and can make a connection as simple as below: .NET 1.1 SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(); cn = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;database=test;uid=xxxx;password=xxxxx;"); cn.Open(); Now, that I am trying to work with Oracle databases, I run into problems. I read in .NET 2.0 that the same SqlConnection class can be used to connect to most relational databases. What do I need to do to the code to do this From my readings in .NET 1.0, the following had to be downloaded from MS in order to access an Oracle db: .NET Fram ...Show All

• Visual C# Applying System.Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden() to all Property's

  Hi all, I have a load of Properties (read and writable) and as my debugger is slow I have used the following code above each Property declaration... [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden()] ...Is there anyway I can, instead of having this line above every Property, can I have it once to say that I want to hide all my properties from the Debugger Thanks Tryst No it can only be applied to class members. However I don't think that is really the solution to your problem anyway. The debugger still has to go through the properties even if they are hidden. It simply skips the display process. Furthermore you are making it harder on yourself ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Migration to Visual Studio 2005 binary footprint (C++ exception handling and RTTI)

  So you completed a migration to Visual Studio 2005 from Embedded Visual C++ and now you realized the binary footprint of your application is now 25% larger than that output from the eVC++ compiler. Ok, so you want to reduce the size of the binary footprint of your application and you have no need for C++ exception handling, because it never really existed in the previous version and/or you never got around to that KB that instructed you on linking RTTI in to your application.  So now RTTI is there along with C++ SEH, you disable C++ SEH but that does not seem to do very much now what There seems to be a bug, uh ...Show All

• SQL Server FMTONLY, LONG Running ?

  Hi There I have been running a trace for long running queries. I know what FMTONLY is, simply returns the metadata of the query. I have found something odd.
