• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Charts.Add method causing error

  I needed a macro to add a chart with a very specific format. I created a macro that usually works, but I am getting an error that I don't understand. Here is a snippet from the macro: Set chartRange = Selection Charts.Add ' This line results in a "Type Mismatch Error" the first time it is run ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=chartRange, PlotBy:=xlColumns '... When I open a new sheet, and put some data in and run the macro, I get a type mismatch error for the Charts.Add line. When I abort the macro and try the very same thing again it works fine for as long as I have the workbook open. Then, if I close t ...Show All

• Visual Studio What happened SourceSafe web service access in Beta 2?

  A collegue of mine has just setup a SourceSafe 2005 database and configured it for internet web service access. I have Team Suite installed including SourceSafe 2005, but I am unable to find an option anywhere which would allow me to connect to it. I can connect over a local LAN or over the net via file sharing, but I can't find the web service protocol. I was informed this feature was in Beta 1.

Now i managed to get it to work.  I had enabled the internet access while the proj ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Render final scene to Texture in Shader [FX Composer]

  I want to save the final rendering of my shadowed scene to a texture (see below). I would like to know how to render to an 800x600 texture directly in the shader. I am using the FX Composer from NVIDIA. I would've thought I could simply add the following as the final pass of the shader: pass Bg < string Script = "RenderColorTarget0=TexFinal;" "RenderDepthStencilTarget=TexFinalDepthMap;" "RenderPort=;" "ClearSetColor=ClearColor;" "ClearSetDepth=ClearDepth;" "Clear=Color;" "Clear=Depth;" "Draw=buffer;"; > { VertexShader = compile ...Show All

• Visual Studio Elements doesn't appear to the target designer (SDK June CTP)

  Hi! I've created a simple DSL and a diagram with two compartment shapes and one GeometryShape. Everything goes fine, no errors/warnings when building the dsldefinition solution, and the target debugging solution runs fine.

• SQL Server TSQL Strored Procedure

  I am having an issue when trying to pull data from Oracle into a sqlSERVER TABLE. I'm running into an issue because I am using to much temporary space in Oracle because the return set is so large. New to sqlserver, but in Oracle the solution would be to commmit the insert after so many records have been retrieved.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Development kits for Visual C++ 2005 Express

  Good morning... What development kits can I add on to VC++ Express I know that I'm supposed to add the Platform SDK, but there's a long list of development kits and SDKs at the Download center.  Which ones can I use Thanks. Good evening... Allow me to elaborate. I see a number of references to adding the MSXML kit to one's available libraries (given the pervasiveness of XML I'm not sure why this isn't part of the platform, but whatever).  So I assume I can add the MSXML 3.0 or 4.0 kit.  And if I understand correctly (I'm on day 22 of a 21 day program ) these kits are just bunch of include headers and libraries files.& ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How do I know what files are required?

  I have a program that I have been working on for some time, and it is almost finished. The problem is that when I reboot the device (not a pocket PC), the program won't run any longer, and it gives no clues as to the reason. If I deploy through VS.net, it works fine, and continues to work until I do a reboot. I need this device to function by itself. How do I know what files I'm missing if the program doesn't tell me If your application is developed for NETCF (C# or VB.Net) and NETCF is not installed, application can not run and since it can not run, it can't tell you what's missing. Make sure NETCF is ...Show All
