• Visual Studio Tools for Office Office Interop problem with Excel COM add-in

  In my test case, I have a minimal COM extensiblity add-in generated from .NET 2003 project template. Inside the OnConnect code, I used IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForDomain. It failed and threw exception with message "Unable to determine assembly identity". Later I knew that the Interop CCW is through the assembly of mscoree.dll which is not strong-named, so I downloaded the COM add-in shim from Microsoft, hoping the isolate ...Show All

• .NET Development Directory.Copy

  Title is pretty Self explanatory. There is a static File.Copy method. Why is there not a static Directory.Copy method Why does attempting to copy a directory using the File.Copy method result in an error saying access is denied while using Directory.Move on the same directory works fine Hi! You right, there is no Directory.Copy() method, only Move(). Actually a little strange. Only one explanation (but no ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Sifting through array for matches

  Hello all, Sorry for such a beginner question, but I can't seem to work through this. I've thought about it for a while, and I just can't seem to figure out a solution. Sorry in advance: I've got an array with a bunch of names in it, and I want to sift through it to make sure that none of the names are the same, and if they are, then I want to take out one of the matches from that pair. So for instance, if i've got an array tha ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Date problem in VFP 6.0

  Hello! Huh, I currently have field named 'fine' in my DB. It's used to store fines. There two other fields, 'rent-date' and 'no_of_days'. The first one stores the date on which the rent of a book starts and the second one stores the number of days the book is going to stay with the borrower. Well, I would like to know how can I calculate the fine. To calculate it, I must find by how many days the due date has been "excessed" and ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to load workflow assembly from a specific directory?

  Our application generates workflows programmatically. Since the number of workflows (DLLs) can be quite large we would like to store the DLLs in a special folder so that they are not mingled with the application files. The problem is that when the application tries to execute a workflow, the runtime cannot find it. I have seen similar questions and the recommendations were to put the workflows in GAC or program folder. If we were to put them in ...Show All

• .NET Development J# doesn't support 64 bit?

  I'm getting my first 64-bit machine next week, so I thought I'd better start getting up to speed about 64 bit. I have a solution that has C# applications (WinForms and class libraries), as well as some J# class libraries. As long as the solution only contains C# projects, the platform configuration manager (that dropdown in the toolbar) says "All CPU", meaning it will generate platform-agnostic MSIL. But as soon as you add a J# project, it ...Show All
