• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to Set Default Form for Outlook Folder through C#

  Hi Frenz, I have been stuck with a very worst problem, almost search entire web but did'nt get any solution. My query is how do you set a default form (I have created that form) for an outlook folder through C#. I have been able to publish my form successfully through the code, however i can't set it default through the code so that whenever i create a new contact item in that folder it should use the form that i have created. I'm using Outlook 2003 & Visual Studio .Net 2003 with .Net 1.1 framework. I know how to set the form as default form for th folder manually but not through C#.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Answer Draw my own squigglies on Word document...

  Is there anyway in VSTO that I can draw my own squigglies (like the red squiggly for spelling mistakes, and the green squiggly for grammar check) on a Word document If I want to underline a sentence with my own colored squiggly, can this be done Can I call directly into COM to do this Or is this impossible Bottom line is I'd like to apply my own custom non-printable formatting to certain parts of a Word doc (like the squigglies or the dots that appear under SmartTags) -- is there *any* way to do this from a VSTO solution (even if the code is ugly). Thanks in advance... If you can get reference to range or ...Show All

• Visual C# Binary Write array...

  Hello I have an array that I need to binary write. OK here's what I have (only example): struct MyStruct { int x; int y; } Basically, it's a struct and I init it doing: MyStruct test[]; test = new MyStruct[3]; test[0].X = 3; test[0].Y = 2; test[1].X = 34; test[1].Y = 13; test[2].X = 32; test[2].Y = 13; test[3].X = 72; test[3].Y = 67; .. etc I need to write all that data to a binary file. Now I used: FileStream fs = File.Create("test.bin"); BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(fs); fs.Close(); fs = null; bw = null; I can't convert my exact code to byte array (if I could it would be easy). Here's what I need to d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Link Demand error followup

  Folks - This is a follow up to an earlier post about how FxCop 1.32 complained about " Override link demands should be identical to base". See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=160473&SiteID=1 . A resolution was provided but we didn't implement it at the time. Recently, we upgraded to FxCop 1.35, ran the assemblies through and that did not get the "Override link demands..." error. I am curious to know why this no longer shows up. Thanks FxCop 1.35 has many important bug fixes related to its security analysis and, generally, you should tend to trust i ...Show All

• SQL Server Web Service Listener

  What would be the best way to implement a sequence where you would wait for incoming data through a web service and then execute the rest of a package I have been thinking something along the line of setting up a native web service in SQL Server 2005 that stores XML in a table where a trigger starts an SSIS package, since this can't be done in SSIS alone, can it Regards, Lars Ronnback I asked about something similar to this once. I wanted to push data into a data-flow in the opposite way to how you can read data from a data-flow using the DataReader destination.

• Visual Studio Team System Does a nested assignment statement in an expression always produce a DUP opcode?

  I'm creating a rule searching for assignment statements within expressions. int i; if ( (i = 2) < 5) ... Console.WriteLine(i = 5); ... etc   So far the IL produced for these kinds of code constructs has a DUP opcode. In the rule can I depend on this opcode indicating this condition When else is the DUP opcode used Is there a better way other than looking at opcodes to identify this scenario The OpCodes Class Members documentation is pretty good but does anyone know of any online reading material that goes into a bit more detail on opcodes and MSIL Thanks.
