• Visual Studio Tools for Office Adobe not playing nice with VSTO

  greetings, When adobe professional is installed, it seems to cause a bunch of weirdness with my menu items in my vsto solution. On some machines they are shown for a sec and then hidden, on other machines it takes over my menu items and shows adobe items underneath my top level item. this is a show stopper for my vsto solution as these products are often gonna be found on word. any suggetions. Mary, I suspect that Adobe is merging its menu items with the ones added by your VSTO solution. I think you may have to write some additional code to move your menu items around when Adobe is installed or remove the Adobe addin (temporarily) i ...Show All

  I know that this must be posted somewhere, but I can't find it. Hopefully this won't make you mad as this has probably been asked many times: I need to display the names of computers within a network in a combo Box.

• Smart Device Development Matching enumeration with reflection in Compact Framework

  I am trying to match an enumeration defined inside a class that is instantiated as an object with an Activator in the Compact Framework. Code Snippet: public class MyClass { public enum EnumeratedType : short { // Requests RequestA = 0x01, RequestB = 0x02, // Responses ResponseA = 0x11, ResponseB = 0x12, }; } The object is instantiated thus: Type t = Type .GetType( "MyClass+EnumeratedType" ); object ob = Activator .CreateInstance( t ); If ob is then set to, say, 0x11 by another operation, I need to access the string of the enumerated name, but ...Show All

• Architecture What about making domain specific "Enterprise Library" ?

  Presently "Enterprise Library" is related to Application Development Process. Desinging "Enterprise Library" for the best practices is good. But what about making enterprise library... related to Solution Specific, I mean to say domain specific... For eg. - Financial, Manufacturing, ...etc. I think if Tom and his team start developing EntLib for every domain, they will be coding forever... Domains are huge, and even though you get a domain specific EntLib, trust me, you will still have to go ahead and change tons of stuff to get it fixed as a base of ur app. I rather have a common EntLib (like the one ...Show All

• Visual C# Printing text directly to a printer (NOT as a graphic)

  I can print text if i do a e.Graphics.DrawString(......) My problem is that I am trying to print to a card printer, and usually it checks what text it is printing, and if it hits a '~' it then encodes the magnetic stripe. When i print from Microsoft word, or Access, it works fine because text is sent to the printer. But using "PrintDocument" object and drawing to a bitmap, it is unable to parse the text. Any ideas on how to print text directly to the printer at locations, instead of rendering them onto a bitmap first I've tried using the WebBrowser.Print mechanism. I encountered a problem. If my ap ...Show All

• SQL Server Profiler: Deadlock graph

  Hi. I'm trying to capture Deadlock Graph in profiler. I've checked it in the event list along with Event:Deadlock. I generate a deadlock... The Deadlock event shows up in the trace, the Deadlock Graph does not. I'm pretty sure BOL says that for every deadlock there is a deadlock graph. I've also tried the steps in BOL to save the deadlock graph xml to a file. The file is empty. any clues thanks Deadlock Graph is TraceEventID 148. It's definitely in my trace.. Here's a simple example of where a deadlock appears in the trace, but the deadlock graph doesn't.   < xml version="1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions GACUTIL

   === Edited by AdeptBlue @ 19 Jan 2006 4:04 AM UTC=== Me again ... I think this is a bug in VS2005 Express ! I just added my DLL to GAC manually without any problem. (Don't ask why I didn't try that before -- sometimes I am so dumb I scare myself) Will the VS205 team pick up this bug report here or should I post it some other way (Maybe a silly question, but I'm a newbie) ====================================== OK ...

• Visual Studio How to get the build order via an EnvDTE API?

  I have an addin that needs to know the build order as it is listed in the VS Solution|Project Build Order dialog. While analysing the dependencies for the projects is great (and works for projects that have an expressed dependency), I found that the project build order for unrelated projects is fixed (and frequently relied upon by solutions), but as far as I can tell there is no way to figure that order out programatically. The build order as displayed in VS seems to change completely every time I add a new project. To reproduce: 1) Create an empty solution 2) Create a C++ console app project called "a". 3) Create a ...Show All

• SQL Server How many partitions

  Hi, in a cube a good partitioning schema is essential in my understanding. We have a requirement of a near realtime cube with quite some load in it (gigabytes of data added and changed every day throughout the day). To get around the ROLAP we were looking for having small partitions which can quickly be reloaded using proactive caching when they have changed data. Is there any "practical" limit on partitions Does having many partitions mean that you might have some critical overhead We might think about having 7000 partitions or more... Thanks, Dave, in our first project on SSAS 2005 we already experienced perform ...Show All

I tried to make a panel be the parent of a form and I received a huge exception. It doesn't sound logical to me to do that but as far as I tried it didn't work.
