• Visual C# accessing outlook 2000 using c# with out MAPI & without COM

  actually i want to access outlook in c# application. means i want to access all mail items in all folders with out MAPI. can any body suggest with .NET components. Hi Sivaji, Based on my understanding, you want to read outlook 2000 items in .NET. If I misunderstood, please feel free let me know. If we did not use MAPI, we need to go the COM way. Automation Outlook and Read/Write its item. We can use Outlook COM Object Modal in .NET by adding COM referenect to Outlook. For Outlook XP,2003 we have offical PIA(Primary Interop Assembly), but for outlook 2000 there is no PIA. So that the IDE will generate a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Menu Overflow woes

  hi all, a) I have a menu that is built at runtime and items added dynamically. When the menu overflows the overflow menu itself does not have the same back color etc as my main menu. How can i change this b) (Related) as a workaround I changed the fore color of the menu items from white (on the main menu) to black (on the overflow) using the placement property. This works fine for menu items that are created and immediately drop onto the overflow menu, but when the last item of the main menu shifts to the overflow because of the overflow button appearing, it ratains it white fore color. even if i itterate through all menu items as each one ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Form flicker on GotFocus...

  I am trying to replicate in .NET some of the functionality of the SIP.  I would have much rather have used the SIP but the app is a full 1024*768 res and the board supplier only included the small SIP, which is not great for my users  . My SIP is basically an array list of buttons created at runtime and arranged nicely on a target control usually a panel hosted on my Main form. The problem is that when I try to use the keyboard on a pop-up form, each time the user presses a key on the onscreen keyboard I have to refocus the pop-up form. Consequently there is alot of screen flicker each time a key is pressed on the keyboar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System The Art of Installing Team Foundation Server

  I am trying to install the TFS for TWO WEEKS. May be there is not a fourm that I had not read, but the installation continues to FAIL due to infinite errors, exceptions that even may be MS staff does not have idea about.

The best way to help you is for you to send us the error information.  We have had many out there that have had issues, and we have ...Show All

• SQL Server Sending Data from SQL 2005 to and from C# code

  Hi Background: I am a post-graduate student developing a model of the way HIV/AIDS spreads in communities. The data sets I am using are large (eg census data - 50m records) and the manipulation is complex (eg deciding which individuals will begin a sexual partnership, and with whom). Problem : I need to process a table of data in code written in C# that will insert the results which are also a table of data into a table in the database. In the example set up below, a table with rows comprising an Integer and a Real is the input. The output is a table where each row also comprises an Integer and a Real. Each row of input, say (Inti, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Differences between .testrunconfig files for Tester version and Developer version???

  This post is a follow-up question to my previous post at: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=174441&SiteID=1 Using the suggestion from the previous post to change the threading state of my test configuration helped solve my initial problem. However, now that I have created all of my tests (and test configuration file) using the Tester edition of Team System, I also need to be able to deploy these tests so that my developers (who will be using Developer edition) can easily run these tests for themselves, possibly by command prompt. I have attempted this on a Developer edition and it does not seem to be able to read m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need Help!!TFS Install

  Hi in start of install of TFS i have error 31010 "VSTF _PASSWORD"....... Thx We just saw this error internally, and it stemmed from a setup that was in progress and was restarted. Leaves setup in a strange state and we try to repeat a step that we shouldn't. Could you look in %temp% of the installing user and grab the *.log files, zip them up and provide them The way I worked around this was to install another program and then tried to install TFS again, and all worked.  We are tracking how to get avoid this case in the future marc ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I alter the property of the main form control from a secondary form?

  Hello, I want to change the BackColor property, for instance, of a control belonging to the main form from a seconday form. How can I do that Please help. Thanks. I'm not an experienced C#'er, but I would try this. If the secondary form was created by the main form, saying secondform.Parent should get you the main form (Possibly you'll need more .Parent, but keep working your way up). Then TypeCast to the main form's type. Then put a period, the controls name, and the property (in your case BackColor); EX: MainForm amf; SecondForm asf; Do ((MainForm)asf.Parent).controlname.Backcolor ...Show All

• Visual C# Why must I cast on the way out of an emumeration?

  Hello, It's hardly a major issue, but I do occasionally get irritated when the compiler tells me that something like Logger.Log("portfolio selected", Developers.carlos); doesn't work, because I haven't casted Developers.carlos as an int (which I never think to do, as I have explicitly defined the Developers enumeration as being of type int ( public enum Developers : int )). Just wondered if there was a good reason behind this. Obviously it's not very important, but brevity in code is always nice if it doesn't compromise functionality or readability... Thanks, Carlos C# supports implicit casting only if corresponding implici ...Show All
