• Visual Basic a simple I/O Question

  Please provide me with a sample on how to read the content of a word document ".doc". i can read any textfile ".txt" using the "streamreader" for example, but when i try to read a .doc it gives me nonreadable output. regards, Try using the BinaryReader instead. Have not verified the code below works, but you get the idea. Dim fs as New FileStream("YOUR DOC") Dim br as New BinaryReader(fs) If br.PeekChar() != -1 Then Dim byt as Byte() Dim i as Integer byt = br.ReadBytes(CType(fs.Length, Integer)) fs.close() br.close() End If http://groups.google.c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Install Issue: Unable to install TFS as SharePoint is not configured correctly..

  hi all, Hope someone can point me right on this one. I have been trying to install TFS and have not had much luck.

• SQL Server Re-do replication for new release

  We alter the database schema that our production application uses with almost every release.  Is there a way to basically remove the replication and re-do it for all tables / views at one time   Then we could just "rebuild" the replication with every release.  We have about 200 tables and 200 views that have many dependencies.  I'm sure it could be done with scripting and the stored procedures, but I'm new at this and not sure where to start.  Any ideas   Thanks! Yes, you could script out all the replication settings (publication, articles, jobs, subscriptions, etc) using ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sending messages to either console or windows frontends.

  I have a program that can be run with a GUI or automated with a console. They both do exactly the same thing, just the console takes command line args while the form part takes user input with buttons and junk. They both (or soon will) run some tests and both use a class that I built that keeps track of the tests. Now what I want to do is inside that class, send messages with important information like the status, if anything fails, whatever. I want the console application to write that info to the console and I want the forms version to display it in a prompt of some sort, (I haven't quite figured out how I want to do that bit yet) I was ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Beta3 to B3R physical server migration

  Wow. I'm so excited to see this stuff going "live". We've got TFS Beta3 running with 1 project. Now that the refresh is coming, we definately want to upgrade and I've seen the migration guide; doesn't look too bad. However, what would be involved if we wanted to migrate to new physical hardware at the same time When we first installed TFS it wasn't on the best of hardware, and now that we can't live without it, I'd like to give it some respectable equipment. Would I just migrate Sharepoint, then restore the SQL 2005 databases (and all the other steps mentioned) Michael, I haven't tried this, but one way I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Types with disposable fields should be disposable

  CriticalError, Certainty 95, for TypesThatOwnDisposableFieldsShouldBeDisposable Fxcop says that my class (PrintText) which instantiates an IDisposable type (Font) should also implement IDisposable. The documentation goes on to say that I should not exclude a message from this rule. My PrintText class is just a way to encapsulate a particular usage of PrintDocument. I need a font for what I am doing. I instantiate it in PrintText.Print, and I dispose it in the PrintDocument.PrintPage event handler. My font object is a property of the class only because two methods in the class use it. So, Fxcop is complaining (sternly) about some ...Show All

  I'm trying to open a Word document from a VSTO project using C# in VS 2003. When I attempt to launch a copy of Word, I get an "Access is denied" error.

• Windows Forms Allow Click Once Deployment only for registered Users

  I want to deploy a application by Click Once Deployment. But only users I give a password should be able to install the software. So I thought about protecting the URL with IIS access rights. But how will then work updating the software. I guess the user will have to type in his password every time the application checks for new updates Has anybody already experiences with such a scenario and can explain his experiences I believe I remember reading somewhere that this is only possible if you use Windows Integrated Authentication. In that case, the user may have to re-enter credentials when updating, but W ...Show All
