• Windows Forms Print Templates in managed webbrowser control

  We have been using the older webbrowser control and there was a way to modfiy the default print template and replace it with a user created one.  This was a mod that required C++.  Is the ability to modify the print template available in the managed webbrowser control, and if there is, can the print template be modified via VB.NET Thanks you in advance, Devboy Hi Devboy, I don’t know I understand correctly that whether you want to modify the print template permanently or you would like to use a print template just for a single print. I modified the default print template of a user through a registry key HKCU\Software\ ...Show All

  I was looking to create a Code Analysis Policy for Checkin but noticed that the docs are still under development. Is there a pointer to a blog anywhere on this slee, Yes, you can indeed sign up for the checkin event using the docs in the extensibility kit.  I don't know for sure, but I would expect there's an example in there. There are couple of forum posts that show subscribing to events, such as this one. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=11700 Buck ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Service Identities in February CTP

  What exactly is the relation between following identies in the context of a WCF service: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity ServiceSecurityContext.Current.PrimaryIdentity ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity Are they all referring to the same identity when a service is configured with Windows security Thanks. I assume you're refering to the OperationContext.ServiceSecurityContext. the PrimaryIdentity will return an generic object implementing IIdentity. WindowsIdentity also implements IIdentity but is specific to Windows accounts. So for example if you examine the PrincipalIdentity or the WindowsIdentity ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Animation not working in code

  I set some animations in a WBA. First I register the name: Application.Current.MainWindow.RegisterName(myElement.Name, myElement); When I try to set a storyboard and set an animation on this element I get 'The name 'myElementName' could not be resolved in the name scope of 'MS.Internal.AppModel.RootBrowserWindow' like the name is not registered. This code used to work in Sep CTP. Did something change for Nov CTP regarding animations Thank you, Valentin Iliescu Is your custom control defined in xaml   If so, it will be its own namescope, and searching the parent namescope (the window) won't find its na ...Show All

• Visual C# FileInfo.LastWriteTime issue: does not correctly evaluate

  Hello All, I'm currently having an issue when evaluating FileInfo.LastWriteTime between two files.  Basically, the two files in question have the IDENTICAL LastWriteTime values, however the following code evaluates to false: FileInfo f1 = new FileInfo ( "C:\\FileTest2\\IUS_GEN.MNV" ); FileInfo f2 = new FileInfo ( "C:\\FileTest2\\SubFolder\\IUS_GEN.MNV" ); f1.LastWriteTime == f2.LastWriteTime //this evaluates to false Strange thing is, if I convert LastWriteTime to string, it evaluates correctly, as in: f1.LastWriteTime.ToString() == f2.LastWriteTime.ToString() //this evaluates to true! Both files have the ...Show All

• Visual C++ ODBC 3.0 issue - HY003 Program type out of range

  I tried posting this under "SQL Server Data Access" but did not get any response. I'm guess it's due to the C++ code. So I'll try here: I'm trying to use ODBC to send data to SQL Server from VC++. When I try to setup the parameters for sending a date to the database by calling SQLBindParameters(), I get the error HY003 "Program type out of range". This indicates that the 4th parameter, ValueType, is not correct. But I'm hard coding it to a known valid value. Actually, I'm copying code strait from the Microsoft Help and still getting this error. Specifically, here's the lines of code: DATE_STRUCT ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Using Excel from Access

  Hi, I am hoping that someone can help me improve the way I am using Excel from Access. I am a poor simple Accountant, and my only training is reading the help filies, and the excellent posts to this forum. I have a number of Access databases which have code to write data into Excel spreadsheets for distribution. Currently, I use the example code from Office 97 which checks to see if Excel is running; if so the code prompts the user to close excel and try again. I do this because I cannot check if the user has the files already open with the code I am using. I open the sheets with set xlsFile = getobject( , filename.xls). I think I need ...Show All
