• Visual Studio Tools for Office It works

  Hi everybody, I know I should not run away from my problems. But what else can I do I have an VSTO Word solution. This part works fine. I also installed it on a other pc than my, and it just works perfect. But there is one small thinh that is missing. And this is where my problem starts: When the user starts "Word" for example. There shlould be a button in the "Standard" Menubar. I tired this with a shared add-in. And it also works but only on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Gathering output files into a property

  I'm trying to put all the outputs of the build into an itemgroup. Immediately after the Build target I've got this: <ItemGroup> <ZipFiles Include="**\*.dll" <ZipFiles Include="**\*.exe" </ItemGroup> But when I print it it's always empty. Are ItemGroup's evaluated in the order that they're written (in this case after the Build task that creates the .dll's and .exe's) or are they evaluated before any tasks a ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I disable highlighting on Toolstrip items when the form doesn't have focus

  Using the Toolstrip or MenuStrip controls, items highlight on mouseover.  This is desireable when the form has focus, but when the form does not have focus it is undesireable because clicking the button doesn't actually activate it, it simply set s the focus on the form.  A second click is needed to activate the button.   I'd like the Toolstrip to behave like that of Office or Visual Studio and not highlight the buttons on ...Show All

• .NET Development There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.

  I have a rather large ASP-NET-2.0 project that I've been developing for some time. I'm using System.Data.Common classes for all of my data access, and SQL-2005 as my provider. Up to and including Beta-2, everything was working just fine and dandy. Then, with the release of RC1, I suddenly started to get the following error:: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. This totally threw me, b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectDraw multi-threaded blitting

  The MSDN documentation for DirectDraw7 "Blitting to Multiple Windows" states that "Creating multiple DirectDraw objects that blit to each other's primary surface is not recommended." What about creating multiple DirectDraw objects that blit to their own surfaces in the same window I can understand why mixing and matching primary surfaces between DirectDraw objects could be a source of trouble, but I haven't found anything wh ...Show All

• SQL Server What are the current best practices for standardizing report layout and appearance?

  I am accustomed to the Actuate enterprise reporting system in which it is very easy to define reusable page formats that standardize things like page layout, margins, logo placement, page header and footer formatting, etc. You just drag and drop a page layout from your component library to inherit from it, and ensure that all your reports have the same consistent format. What if any features and tools are there to accomplish this in 2005 Reporti ...Show All

Everyone knows that moderators agree on everything and that in moderator space we just stand in love ...Show All
