• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Controls

  I installed VSTO 2005 and tried the same program I had written in Beta 2. Problem- When I drag a TextBox control to the Word template form, the properties window does not change to TextBox1. It stays at ThisDocument. Do I have a bad install Even when I drag a Button control from the Toolbox to the Word form, and try to double click, it does not go to the code window. Thanks for help in advance. Hi Corinne, Based on your description of the problem, it sounds like the designer isn't loading.  As to whether the problem is a bad install, the question would be whether you get the expected control behavior with a new project.  ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition -- import/export question

  Hi -- I currently have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my local machine. I tried importing a table, but I was unable to import it without installing the Integration Services component. We are shortly to install SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition on our remote server, but I am concerned that I won't be able to import or export data, since I know Workgroup Edition does not include Integration Services. The Microsoft comparison of the different editions says import/export are supported for Workgroup Edition. I guess I just need some reassurance that it is indeed possible to import/export without having Integration Services installe ...Show All

  Hi there, I am a longtime programmer in OO Visual dBASE environment migrating to C#, MS Visual Studio and FoxPro 9 all at once. it is hard for me to formulate questions since I have a somewhat visceral understanding as to what I need, so I need a general advice. I am abandoning dBASE since it does not provide .NET capabilities. But I do have extensive database tables accumulated over many years. How can I use my dBASE tables for instance in this environment I am at ease now with Visual Studio 2003 and VCSExpress. I can design a form and make some Internet connections and send requests. I need to either create a NEW database with new tables ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System script fails after new version of software pushed

  I am currently trying to create tests to test microsofts new CRM application.  I have recorded numerous web tests, but they will stop working after a change is made to the application.  As far as I can tell it is linked to an import of the configuration from another server.  When the script does a form post of the information submitted in the test, it gets back an error stating that the form has expired.  I can re-record the test now and it will pass, performing all of the same functions.  This is an out of the box app from MS that we have tailored.  I am trying to find a way to modify the tests so that they con ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Fonts, Fonts and more Fonts.

  Hi everyone, I have posted this quetion before, but I still don't have a reaonable solution. I have a whole bunch of reports which are created in FOXBASE. These are generated using simple commands. Initially we want to run them as they are. The problem is that no matter what font I try, it is not identical to the older 'text' font. Since we are printing on forms, we need the font to be identical. Is there no way to print something in VFP so it comes out exactly as it did in FP2.6 Dos I tried variations of Foxfont, Fixsys, serif, courier etc. The closest is Foxfont but I can only use it at 10pitch (Too small) or 16 (too big ...Show All

  Hello everybody, Today Visual Studio 2005 Professional was released on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. We were unable to find the Team Suite Release. Any help Best regards Ralf Rottmann Word on the newsgroups is that your transition options are limited by your partner level.

• Visual C# Generics C# Matrix

  I was about to design a Generics C# Matrix in this way: public class Matrix < T > {        List < List < T >> _data;        .... } Many issues made desirable in this case, constraint the type T to be a numeric base type. Let's say, int, long, byte, float, double... But I really couldn't find the legal way to add such a constraint. The question is precisely that: How do I constrain the generic type to a numeric base type You cannot. That is a much debated and much regretted defect of C# generics. They are useless for numerics.  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ButtonArray

  I see that VB 2005 has a ButtonArray component in the Toolbox. Unfortunately, I've not been able to figure out how to use this component. I drag it out of the Toolbox, on to my form and it just sits there below the form. I'd appreciate some assistance on how to use this component to create an array of buttons. Thanks. Shakalama, The ButtonArray is not a standard component, but if you click Tools -> Choose Toolbox Items you will find it listed. Click the checkbox next to ButtonArray and it will appear in your Toolbox. And, yes I'm working with the Express Edition. ...Show All
