• Visual Studio Tools for Office Pre-requisites and Office SKUs

  We are working on a POC for one of our clients. The client also tried to install and run VSTO 2005 but is receiving the error message about needing to install SP1 and/or vstor.exe. After some research here on the forum and Google Groups, we are pretty sure this is because he has Office 2003 Standard and not Office 2003 Pro. Can someone please point me to published information @ Microsoft about accurate pre-requisites for (1) developing VSTO 2005 solutions and (2) deploying the solutions (1) After reviewing http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/54ds2za4.aspx , my first impression is that because office 2003 Standard includes Excel 20 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Rant: .Net Code Access Security Sucks!

  As a certified ISV VB developer who has made a living over the past ten years selling WinForms software, I have seen the onerous stuff in both the VB6 and the VB.Net environments. In VB6 we had the DLL hell problem. Deployment could be difficult if the buyers of our programs had old versions of various Microsoft DLL's. But DLL hell is a minor pain compared to .Net Code Access Security (a.k.a .Net trust or CAS). The people who conceived the CAS concept apparently never implemented software in large shops which use fat client WinForm apps running from a Windows server share. For example, the vast majority of the software comprising the E ...Show All

• SQL Server is it possible to have variant condition clause in procedure?

You could pass only values. In your case if this is predefined set of the t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System [WebTests] App.config in Testproject can not be referenced

  Hi all, I also have a problem using an App.config file in connection with Web Tests. I have looked at all threads concerned with this topic in this newsgroup before but non of the resolutions worked for me unfortunatly.

• Visual Studio Changes in Upcoming Release

  We have a team working on a project and are using a mix of local VSS users and users using the web client. There were several bugs in the the Beta 2 (which is what we are using).  Supposedly, the worst of them have been fixed, and the functionality has been extended.  To save three weeks of waiting, would it be possible to answer the following questions about remote functionality in the upcoming VSS: 1. Does it reliably get the latest version when asked to or when checking out a file 2. Can I do normal source control things like:    - Diffing my changes before checking in    - Seeing the history ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Submitting Work Item via Web Service API getting registry error

  When we submit a Work Item to the TFS web service API, the following exception string is returned: "The following error occurred:Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Visual_Studio\ 8.0\ TeamFoundation\ Servers' is denied." We have not encountered this before because (we think) previous calls have been using the local web service instance from Visual Studio 2005. We guessed this passes credentials. We also guessed this error is because the service (now on a remote server) is acting under IUSR or ASPNET. We tried changing the permissions to the Registry branch to include IUSR and ASPNET but ...Show All
