• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem of Office add-in (C#)

  I have a problem in that I have a MS Word Add-in which works fine on the computer where I developed it (in MS Visual C# .NET) but when I try to deploy it on other machines it doesn t work. To deploy the project I am using the Setup project from the Add-ins solution explorer as per instructions at, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;EN-US;q316723 I tried to isolate the problem using some simple examples. I made an add-in that simply pops-up a Message Box in the OnConnection method. This deploys fine on the target machine. Next I tried the simple add-in as outlined in the KnowledgeBase article 302901, How to build an Office ...Show All

• Visual Studio error MSB3323: Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store.

  Problems began when I received the MSDN Final VS 2005 v8.0.50727.42 and uninstalled the RC build which I had worked with without issue and replaced it with the previously mentioned.

• SQL Server Feature requests

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Docking form

  Hello, I was wondering how I can make a form of mine dock onto the side of my screen, like my aim buddy list does. I've googled this and I've come up with notta, so I'm hoping a wise coder on here can assist me. Thanks in advance. G'day Jay890. In the property window for your Form, find the Location setting. This is usually set to 0,0 which is the top,left corner of the screen. Then select the StartPosition and set this to manual . When you run the app it starts in the top,left corner. All you need to do is enter the position that you want your app to start at. Hope that helps. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Relaunch of Windows Form

  Hello all I have a small problem. In most cases I can track these things down pretty easy but the complexity of the application after 2 years of development and use has made it hard to track down this last one. The Scenario: Main application runs in the background 1 pixel X 1 Pixel which launches the initial form. When a form is ready to open another form I do the following: BPS.frmMain frmMain = new frmMain(); frmMain.Show(); this .Dispose(); this .Close(); The problem: Due to third party APIs (Written in anything from C++, to VB to me porting from VB to VB.Net and then to C#) being called a form I will dispose ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a dll in C and then using it in Visual C# express

  Hi all, Does anyone have a solution to my problem. I have lots of functions that are programmed in C. I don't have the time or sufficient knowledge to convert the functions to C#. My only best bet is to convert all the functions to a .dll and reference it to a C# Windows application I am creating at the moment. I've tried building a .dll in MinGW..but no luck since there seems to be some incompatiblity. Please help. Thanks. The easiest way is to make a managed C++ dll which has methods in the managed class that call the C functions ( nearly all C compiling in a C++ compiler ) and return the result. ...Show All

• Visual C++ dllexport and function templates specializations

  Let's say I have the following template function:   Template <typename T> void Fun(T t); I'd like to be able to implement some specializations of Fun in a first DLL (DLL_1), some other specializations in a second (DLL_2), and still some other in a third (DLL_3), but DLL_2 and DLL_3 may make use of specializations implemented in DLL_1. So in DLL_2, Fun<T> may be both imported and exported, depending on T. I somehow managed to implement it by always declaring (in the .h file) the template as dllimport:   template <typename T> __declspec(dllimport) void Fun(T t); and always implementing the specializatio ...Show All
