• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Selecting Data By....

  the color of a cells Is this possible Tiger Hi tiger, Yeah it should be. This is code that sets the colour of a selected cell to orange With Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 44 .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With It includes the pattern. To make it easier make sure the pattern is consistant for all the cells. As you loop over the cells, or access a cell, look at the Interior.ColorIndex property. You'll need to work out what colour has what colour index though. there are a few contants you can use vbBlack and vbWhite. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Architect vs. VSTS Developer

  With he proposed changes in MSDN subscriptions and Visual Studio licensing, I now have to make a decision between VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. As I understand, MSDN Universal subscribers will have a choice - they can either go for VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. I believe that I need both architecture and development tools. Which out of two should I go for The information was interesting but too high-level to be really useful or answer the questions I feel most developers have. I hope you folks will be releasing something with a bit of meat on it like a feature by feature breakdown of what is included in each edition in t ...Show All

• .NET Development Memory limited device, needs to stream WebService results to File

  I am trying to transfer a dataset from the server and insert it into SQLmobile on my PDA. As it currently is, my Webservice returns the dataset, the PDA recieves the results, then iterates through the dataset inserting them one at a time into its SQLServer2005mobile database. This works fine for datasets up to 100,000 but once i go over that limit the device runs out of memory as it tries to load the dataset into memory as it receives it from the webservice. One way around this i thought would be if instead of loading the dataset into memory as it receives it, i get the Webservice to instead return theDataset.toXml(), then the PDA c ...Show All
