• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook intercept attachments and redirect ?

  I've been asked to provide a solution that sits in outlook and detects emails to a specific address, and to pass the files sent as attachments to another ( possibly outside ) program.  I have a good understanding of C#, and I'm a C++ MVP.  I've never done anything like this in Outlook, though, and there seem to be a myriad of options open to me.  I'm hoping for a little direction as to where I should be digging to best achieve this This is a bread-and-butter scenario, actually, and is quite simple using Outlook's standard OM. You are in the sweet-spot! As you probably know, we have added Outlook 2003 add-in support in V ...Show All

• SQL Server Using error handling techniques in cursor routine

  Hi everyone! I am trying to use error handling within a cursor routine. I have an Error Handling label outside the cursor that handles errors generated outside the cursor or when @@Fetch <> 0, but doesn't work for capturing errors inside the cursor routine. The cursor has a value that I am using for updating data. This requires a transaction for each pass. I also must select the max value of a selected field from the table where these updates occur. If an error occurs in any part of the transaction, I want to capture the error, select it from the sysmessages table, write it to a table, roll back the transaction and move to the next ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need help creating Static sized custom report item

  Hello, I am trying to build a custom report item that will generate Optical Recognition Marks and has the following requirements: 1. It has a standard size (.875" x .875") that will never change, nor need to. I would like to make it so that when the control is dragged on the report, it appears at this size and the size property is readonly. (or won't let them change it) 2. (Nice to have) The control automatically dock/anchor to the top right of the page. 3. (Nice to have) The control sets and locks the page width, etc so the marks will get printed the same distance from the right margin. My question is, how to over ...Show All

  I am trying to create a typed dataset which I can use as a data source in VB 2005 Express. I hope to use VWD 2005 Express, but if there is a better program to use that is free, I'm all ears...

• .NET Development How to use threads? Or is my problem something else?

  Sorry that I didnt come up with a better topic. Anyways.. I have programmed this file converter program. It analyzes data into memory from one file type  and writes it from memory into a another filetype.

When the conversion is finished it comes back to normal. Is this a problem because of the lack of threads How do i use them T ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC connection failing on 64 version of Windows 2003 server

  I have an application that talks to a SQL backend using an ODBC DSN connection. It works fine when running on a 32bit machine but fails in the 64bit environment. The DSN is setup properly on the 64bit box and the Test Connection returns sucess. However when my application tries to use the DSN to connect to the database I recieve the following error. IM002 - Data source name not found and no default driver specified. The data source name does exist, it's in the ODBC.INI and in registry. As mentioned above the Test Connection succeeds in the ODBC Administrator so logic would dictate that it's setup correctly. Any help would be app ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with Branching

  We are running Beta 3 Refresh and are having problems branching (which worked ok in Beta 2). I created a new folder and then clicked on my main folder (with multiple sub-folders underneath) and clicked Branch. I then choose to put the branch in my new directory I created. It then states: "Preparing to Branch..." and sits there for over 1/2 and never does anything. I then clicked "Cancel" and it sits there for another 30-45 minutes saying "Canceling..." and then I receive an error that states: "Visual Studio Team System Command Canceled". You can only click ok, which then brings up: "Error Command Canceled" I was able to successfully branch a ...Show All
