• Visual Studio Tools for Office boilerplate text/Autotext

  When migrating a vba app using vsto, what would be the best approach for 'carrying forward' numerous fragments of autotext Currently I have an attached template with the autotext and am using the command bar for a dropdown menu to insert the autotext into a Word document. Using VSTO (creating a Word smart doc application) - would it be better to utilize document fragments if so, where can I find info on this - specifically geared towards VSTO I have some info re: DocumentFragmentControls but this was through the very complex Smart Document Interface - is there a way to access a similar control in VSTO Bottomline: I would like to b ...Show All

• .NET Development Display data from multiple tables into datagrid

  I am using visual studio 2003 and was able to create a dataset and bind it to sql adapter but the data is from one table. I want to view the data from multiple table when i add the tables to dataset it only shows me 1st table. Not sure how to accomplish this... Any help will be appreciated. You have to use different datagrids or if you want it in the same grid you can create something called a view in the database & then bid it to that view. See below I created a view using enterprise manager for sql server called "bid21" & bind it to the adapter. thanks vj Example in C# ---------------------------- ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Remoting & Indigo

  I had a look at the famous article "Introducing Indigo: An Early Look" ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/introindigov1-0.asp ) and I would like to add another row to the comparison table and that is "activation model", while .NET remoting has got a comprehensive model for activation (Single call, SAO, CAO), web services on the other hand just support single call. My question is about Indigo, Which model does it support I used the CAO model and it was wonderfull, its model is very close to local object oriented model and basically you can have one piece of code for both of local objects and remote ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Preventing a Null

  Hello Folks, This is my first post, so please forgive me any mistakes. I have a form I have connected to a menu that allows the user to add color names that appear in a combo box on the main form. All works well. If the user tries to add a new record and save it, alas an error. I expect that because the two fields in the DB are set to "Do not allow Nulls." I want to build in some error checking so that when the user tries to save nothing (Null), a message box appears and allows them to correct the mistake. Anyone got any pointers for me Remember, I am very new to programming and this answer is probably stari ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Do Loop

  The problem is when the main function of a do loop is too short the program will freeze like so: Do Until Running = False lbl.Text = "meh" Loop well since lbl.Caption = "meh" is executed so quickly in the loop the loop is executed at a rapid speed and the program will freeze immediately >_< what I want is to have a very rapid speed speed(less than 1 millisecond) but without having the program freeze immediately. Any ideas on how this can be done PS: I already tried using Application.Doevents like so: Do Until Running = False lbl.Text = "meh" Application.DoEvents() Loop but it really lowered the speed. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Simple (?) SQL DATETIME question SQLServer and C++

  Dear all: I am stumped (again) with what appears to be the precision of the datetime field in an SQLServer table, where it is defined as 'datetime' length 8. I can enter date/time to the second there via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. I use VC++ .NET 7.0 (just the ANSI C part of it though) doing ODBC. I got char strings and integers to work, but the datetime only works if full minutes are entered. As soon as a second is non-zero, it fails to update the table. I use SQLBindParameter for update and the SQLBindCol for the result set of the selection, and I tried two versions of which I always list one first and the other second: SQL_T ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can I determine the remote IP in WCF Service? (1)

  (Repost from 2 months ago http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=335969&SiteID=1 ) -- maybe someone has some info now :) I understand that the title is fundamentally flawed -- the binding used might not have the concept of an IP. But, assuming I'm using HTTP or TCP bindings, how can I access the remote IP and similar data I looked into OperationContext, and it seemed to have a lot of interesting things, but I couldn't figure out what exactly to look for. It seems that the message headers aren't exactly useful (like OutgoingMessageHeaders.To) -- they always return an http://...Anonymous Uri. The scenario I'm trying to e ...Show All

Anyway, can anyone tell me what HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Record is for Its subkeys are all GUIDs, and their subkeys are (generally): Default, Assembly, Class So each "entry" under Record points out a type/class in a COM Interopted assembly, but why What further confuses me is not all the types defined in my DLL are present in HKCR/Record, it seems to be a random sampling.
