I don't want to implement a CF2.0 auto-installation process, since it is very time-consuming. I would like to use VS2005 with CF1.0 as a target for compilation and deployment. Is ...Show All

For example, when getting a specific transaction based on some ID value, the Account property that refer ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Any changes in the shim program?

  Hi; I am using the shim code that I downloaded from MS about 18 months ago. I am now building under VS 2005 instead of 2003.

I'd prefer not to change because I made a bunch of changes in the shim code so that if there is an error loading, that error is displayed to the user instead of it failing silently. thanks - dave ...Show All
