• Windows Live Developer Forums Sample: MSN AddIn - Outlook Calendar

  Description A simple msn live addin that will integrate with Outlook Calendar. Set it up so that it's enabled when my status is anything other than "online" or "appear offline". Now when someone sends you a message the addin will check outlook to see if you currently have any appointments and reply with something like this: [15:33] dan (work): Auto-Response: I am currently in a meeting (test) scheduled to end at 4:00 PM If no appointments are found no reply is sent. The addin also keeps an internal list of users that it has replied to so that it doesn't send out the same info more than once to each person. This list is ...Show All

• Windows Forms Auto-complete not completing

  Hi! I'm having trouble getting my custom TextBox subclass to exhibit Autocompletion. I'm using Visual C# 2005 Express, and I've verified the way it's supposed to work on normal TextBoxes; however, once derived the functionality is just gone... I'm using CustomSource, with a dynamically filled collection (though I've tried filling it a priori), and Appen (though I've tried Suggest too). I'm handling KeyDown, KeyPress and TextChanged for the control, but removing these has had no effect. I'm guessing I must be somehow bypassing or blocking the AutoComplete functionality, though I'm not sure how. Where's it done And what properties, if ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to provide paths to Runtime for CreateWorkflow from XOML?

  My XOML contains custom activities. How do I provide the paths to the custom activities assembly so it can resolve them I know one way is to put all the assemblies together with the host. But sometimes the assembly are located with the "client" app, not the "runtime host". With WorkflowCompiler class you have librarypaths property, however the runtime compiles directly from XOML, and I can't see librarypaths for the runtime. In http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=208634&SiteID=1 Vihang seems to use TypeProvider as a runtime service. But that still doesn't solve the problem of paths. you can wri ...Show All

• SQL Server DataBinding to radio button

  I have a windows form containing some text boxes and radio buttons bount to an SQL Server database, with code like the following: this.tbBorrowerLastName.DataBindings.Add (new Binding("Text", dsData.Tables["Results"],"BorrowerLastName"(); this.rbMale.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Checked", dsData.Tables["Results"],"Male")) If I add a new row and try to move there using the code below, nothing happens (neither movement to a new position nor error message), unless I remove the radio button bindings. (The same thing occurs if I attempt to move to any record that has a null val ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions valid assemble and com component for dll reference

  Hi, I am trying to add a DLL reference into a C# project in 2005 Express. But it says not a valid assemble or com component. Any idea where shall I look into Thanks... If it’s not a COM or .NET dll then you shouldn’t be adding a reference that way, instead you’ll want to look into P/Invoking it. Is it a common Windows DLL If so take a look at Pinvoke.net for a huge collection of signatures that can be used to get it working in your app. If not, you’ll need to write your own, which in itself is pretty easy. Take a look at this Platform Invoke Tutorial for more info to get you started. ...Show All

• Visual C# Loading html into an object

  I need a way to convert a full web page I have in a string variable into an object like the IE Dom so I can get values out of cells in the tables on the web page. I am using VS 2005 for Software Testers (VSST). What I am testing is dynamic and I can't get away with direct record and playback. (As if anyone ever can) What I need to do is post information to the web server and then get out of the response some key information that needs to be used to create the next post . To post to the web server the test software uses the WebTestRequest object. To get data out of the response you use an Extraction Rule. The test developer (me) can cr ...Show All

• Visual C# A common application for recursion

  Hi, A common application for recursion is the problem of generating all possible permutations of a set of symbols. For the se consisting of symbols A,B and C there exists six permutations - namely, ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CBA and CAB. The set of permutations of N symbols is generated by taking each symbol in turn and prefixing it to all the permutations which result from the remaining N-1 symbols. It is therefore, possible to specify the permutations of a set of symbols in terms of permutations of a small set of symbols. How to write a recursive function program for generating all possible permutations of a set of symbols using C#. Thi ...Show All
