• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Send Email via outlook through excel

  Hi to eveyone, I’ve been looking around to find some code that could send an email from excel but I found the next problems: I need to put a message in the body of the email. I need to attach the active workbook or a file saved in my PC. I need to control via the code "on error resume next" if the email cannot be send because the variable passed to outlook with the name of the person is not located in the outlook agenda, but I need to continue process, because the macro sends several emails in its execution. Thanks in advance. Hi, I know that there have been a num ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Combining Shaders

  I'm currently working on implementing vertex and pixel shaders for a project and so far this is going alright. I'm using multiple passes to obtain the desired effects. The concern I have is related to what I call global geometry passes. A global geometry pass is basically a pass that requires all meshes in the scene to be rendered for the desired effect. A typical example is light (ambient, diffuse, specular). The concern isn't that this doesn't give the desired result, the concern is that this will eventually end up in a lot of global geometry passes. So getting to the point. Is there a way to combine shaders to lower the number of globa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Dumb Question Dept - how do I "delete" a public build from the list?

  Scenario: I perform a team build as a "smoke" test and decide to mark it's quality as rejected. The team makes changes and the second "smoke" team build is successful. Since the changes are logged into Version Control, I don't  need the first build hanging around. How do I delete it There doesn't seem to be anything in the beta help or menus that is apparent on how to remove the builds. I can remove the folders from the drop site, but the logs still remain in the system. Short of traversing the database myself, anything else I could do Regards, Michael Shorten Hi Michael, Sorry I missed replying to this thread. You can subscrib ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with multi-valued parameters since SP1

  Hi, after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters. The option to select all values are gone. Is there a bug within SP1 Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server. The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005. So long Lemmi This was a breaking change in SP1 - documented in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143380.aspx (scroll to: Adding the ALL member for multivalue parameters" ...Show All

  I have an SCD that contains a historical output path. If I throw dataviewer in the flow before the SCD, I can see that it should trigger a trip down that lane, but its not.

• Visual Studio Team System How do I run new UnitTests automatically?

  Hi I’ve setup up a Nightly Build on the Team Foundation Server, which build my solutions, and runs UnitTests. Using the “New Team Build Type” wizard I’m only able to select a predefined list of UnitTests, and we have to remember to add new UnitTests to this list (using Visual Studios Test Manager). Of cause we all forget to add new tests to this list, and think that the build is ok, even if a new test is failing. Can I configure the Build to automatically include ALL UnitTests in my solution Thomas Hi Thomas, We've received many feedbacks on this and we're adding features to improve this expe ...Show All

• Visual C++ customize codepage used by "cl.exe"

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005, I'm wondering whether there's anyway to set the codepage used by "cl.exe" instead of the default system codepage. For example, the system default codepage (ACP) is 936, but I want the "cl.exe" to use code page 1252 instead. Any suggestions Thanks in advance! As you probably are aware, the compiler uses the codepage corresponding to the setting under the "Regional and Language Options" control panel.  I'm assuming that you do not want to change your entire system to English, but rather just use the English codepage for the compiler in particular. I'm not wholly sure how this w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Scalability for Hosting Multiple Instances in a Single Workflow Runtime

  Hi, I would like to know the maximum number of workflow instances that a single workflow runtime can handle at the same time. Is it just dependent on the server hardware hosting the workflow runtime or there is a maximum number of workflow instances to be hosted in a single runtime. Hi Akram, The maximum number of workflows that can run simultaneously in a single workflow runtiem is the same as the number of Clr threads available for the process. Typically this is 25 for Single proc machines and 100 for dual proc or server machines. You can control the number of instances that can be run by specifying the number in the ...Show All

• Visual Basic Displaying a file if hexadecimal format.

  I am a beginner at BASIC and I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express. This is what I am trying to do: I want to open a file, the file can be any format or size. I want to open it kind of like a hex editor would, except I want to be able to read the values of certain addresses in decimal format. Here is an example: I have 3 textbox controls: txt1,txt2,txt3.
