• Visual Studio Tools for Office rounding chart corners in Excel

  Im looking too programmatically round the corners of an excel chart using VB8. Manually its located in the format chart area, under the patters tab there is a round corners check box right under the shadow box. In intellisense I did find the shadow option With chart .ChartArea.Shadow = True end with but I dont see the round corners option and havent seen any examples of anyone doing it online.

The problem is that RoundedCorners property is only available on Excel.ChartObject type (charts embedde ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to read the last line of a file in Managed C++

  Hi, well this is a very stupid question but I can't find the efficient way. I need to read the last line of a very very large file. So, I don't want to open it and loop through all the lines but I need another way. Help, please, anyone can post a code snippet Try to use: FileStream::Seek( Offset, SeekOrigin::End ) FileStream^ fs = gcnew FileStream( "path", FileMode::Open ); fs->Seek( -4,  SeekOrigin::End ); This the file pointer to the last 4 bytes from the end back of the file.

• Visual Studio Team System Space in rule URL causes link problem in FxCop problem properties panel

  In my custom rule configuration I have spaces in the URL: < Url > http://somewhere.net/space%20program/super%20rules/ </ Url > When this rule is triggered, the problem properties pane shows the link as this: http://somewhere.net/space program/super rules/ And the link does not work because it tries to go to the URL upto the first space. Is there a workaround to make the URL work Thanks. - alex This is just a bug we need to fix, sorry for the inconvenience. There's no workaround, currently.

• SQL Server Framework 2.0 changes - TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

  If you connect to a server and open a query in SQL Managment studio (2005) and looses connection and then regain the connection, when you try to run the query it gives me a "TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."   This happens against both 2005 and 2000 servers.   If I re-run the query it works.   However, this happens in our VB.NET app as well for clients with Wireless connections.   So, something has changed in Framework 2.0 regarding this, does anyone know how to tell the client to not throw this error and just try connecting the server instead which will work ...Show All

• SQL Server Datasource Reader - Name for output column is blank.

  Hi, I have a problem using the odbc datasource reader to execute a sql command on a progress database. My query is something like:- select max(id), sum(amount) from my_table OR select a, b, c, recid(my_table) from my_table which produces external columns and output columns with no name. The progress sql doesn't support using aliases on column names and setting validateexternalmetadata to false and manually naming the input and output parameters in the 'Advanced Editor' doesn't seem to work either. I either get the error 'The name for output column "" is blank and columns can not be blank' or if I add my own column na ...Show All

  Hi all, I have the following behaviour when rendering an output pin that contains a WAV stream: - if I connect it to a 'Default DirectSound Device' renderer -> play the stream - OK -> play the stream again from the begining - the 'position ruler' jumps a bit ahead of the start point, the stream plays from the beginning and it keeps playing after the 'position ruler' has reached the end -> playing it again will result on a 'bigger jump' until the state that I press play and the 'position ruler' immediately jumps to the stream end (even though the stream is completely played) - if I co ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSIP for 6.0

  Is VSIP for 6.0 is available Is it free as for .NET Hi Yorik, I'm not really familiar with Visual Assist, though I have hear good things about it in the past. I don't recall if they were in the DevPartner program back then or not. At the time, I wasn't directly involved in supporting the program. From the looks of it, they did do a nice job of it though. One thing you could potentially do to get a hint at how they did things was to check for subclassing. Just fire up a couple instances of the environment (one with VA and one without) and check the addresses of various WndProcs using SPY++. That might allow ...Show All
