• Visual Studio Tools for Office Range.get_Information() is causing Application.XMLAfterInsert to be fired

  Hi, I am getting some strange behaviour which I am having a hard time reproducing in a new project. I know that without being able to reproduce it I am not being very helpful, but I am running out of options and time. I will keep trying to reproduce it, but in the meantime any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. I have a Word Template project and I am using XML tags to mark certain parts of the document that interest me. I then subscribe to the Application.XMLAfterInsert and Application.XMLBeforeDelete events so that different parts of the application can be alerted of changes made to the document. Everything wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Moving a label

  Hello, Is there a way to move a label from one version to another What we are trying to achieve is that if we label the VSS database with a build label at the beginning of the build process and subsequently include updates to the build, I would like to move the labels up to the latest versions to mark the final set of versions going into the build. Also, how can I prevent developers from checking in new versions of files while the build is being generated Can I do this without doing a administrative lock on the entire VSS database Thanks, You could label the files you are updating at the end of your ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro AutoHideScrollbar Property.

  http://www.code-magazine.com/focus/article.aspx quickid=0404052&page=2 Hello Guys, While reading the above mentioned article i came across a problem. The article talks about the AutoHideScrollbar Property Value to be 2, but i have only two options in this property(0 & 1). Is there something wrong. Jitendra Shahani The 2 is definitely missing, and an exception is thrown if you attempt to set the value of the AutoHideScrollbar property to 2 in code.  That was either in the beta and removed in the release (I can't remember seeing it in the beta) or they were going off some erroneous inside info ...Show All

• Visual Basic Activex reference problem

  I have a project with a reference to MSWINSK.OCX, which runs fine on the system it was written on. But when I try to make the executable, and run it on another system, I get an error (runtime 429) that the Activex object cant be created. Any help with why this is happening and how to fix it would be great. I already checked and the other system does have the OCX file in the right place. Okay, registered the ocx, restarted, and still doesn't work, anything else I can try ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access Form in Code from a User Control

  I have created a UserControl1 that inherits from the Visual Basic.Net 2005 TextBox Control. A Windows Application Project is then created (named WindowsApplication1) and the UserControl1 is dragged onto Form1 of WindowsApplication1. Question: In the code of User Control how is Form1 accessed In particular, it is desired to place some graphics on Form1 from code in UserControl1. Thanks for any response... Forgive me if I am telling you something that you already know, but I believe that the proper technique is to access UserControl1 from Form1, instead of the other way around as you are sug ...Show All

• Visual C# Can I reference a VS2005 assembly from a VS2003 project?

  I develop library assemblies in C# and have lots of customers who are not likely to move to VS2005 immediately.  When I try to reference an assembly built with VS2005 from a VS2003 project, VS2003 says the assembly is not valid.  Is it possible to do this, or do all of my customers have to move to VS2005 before I can distribute a VS2005 version of my library Thanks for any enlightenment! > Is it possible to do this, or do all of my customers have to move to VS2005 before I can distribute a VS2005 version of my library No there's no way to do this.

• Visual C# Variable doesn't increment

  Hi, I'm creating a Tetris game in which I have an 'x' and a 'y' variable. At first they are set to 0. I use a timer to change the 'y' value to move the figure down. Here's the code: private void timer1_Tick( object sender, EventArgs e) { y++; Graphics grfx = this .CreateGraphics(); PaintEventArgs f = new PaintEventArgs (grfx, this .ClientRectangle); DrawFigure dr = new DrawFigure (f, x, y); grfx.Dispose(); if (y > 569) timer1.Stop(); } Yet, after each event, 'y' goes back down to 0, instead of incrementing.

• Windows Forms panel vs usercontrol

  What extra features does a UserControl offer over a Panel if both are placed in a form Since a form has already has "advanced focus management", a Panel seems to act like a UserControl. I am making a chat control with the standard two textboxes for input and output. I want to be able to put the control on tabpages. Is it better practice to use a Panel or UserControl to contain the textboxes I am also making a toolbar-like control with a collection of custom buttons on them. -Michael The main differences between a UserControl and a Panel is that you get visual designer support when you inherit ...Show All
