• Visual Studio Tools for Office Open and Modify Word Document from C# .NET 1.1

  I'm trying to open a Word document from a VSTO project using C# in VS 2003. When I attempt to launch a copy of Word, I get an "Access is denied" error. This project works great if you manually open the Word document specified for it, but if you try to launch Word and open the document from C#, it's a no-go. So what am I doing wrong All help is appreciated. Thanks. Could you post the code that you are using to open the word document and the call stack and exception information you get when this fails.

• Visual C++ how

  This is my first time using Microsoft Visual C++. I have written the coding down for the program. Now how do I use the program Pressing F5 will build the application ( turn what you typed into an executable program ) and start it. If your application does not contain any code to stop it running ( such as waiting for the keyboard ) then it may seem to run and end right away, as it may just run through without pausing for you to look at it. In VC2005 a debug mode program, which is the default, should insert code to make you press a key before it closes. ...Show All

• SQL Server No support for SQL Server Authentication and SSIS !!!!

  Hi I want to manage my servers from a central location and have the ability to manage my packges too.  Unfortunatley my servers are across domains which means I have to use SQL Server Login, which isn't a bad thing.  However for some bizzare reason I can't connect to Integration Services using this method, only windows authentication which is a complete pain in the butt from a management stand point as I have to copy packages to various servers rather than add them from a central point. Does anyone know if this bug/feature or what ever Microsoft is calling it will be fixed or know of any workarounds.  Thanks   ...Show All

• .NET Development SHARD_PATH constant

  Is there a way to get .NET to recognize the SHARD_PATH constant used in SHAddToRecentDocs, or if not, anyone know what the value of constant is You are P/Invoking to Win32 (specifically shell32.dll). There is no way to automatically read in any enums or constants that are used in P/Invoke signatures. You can find the enum definition here: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/shell32/SHAddToRecentDocs.html According to the page, the value for SHARD_PATH is 0x2. BTW - Adam Nathan's pinvoke.net is a fabulous reference if you're P/Invoking into Win32 directly!!! ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting Report Parameters

    Just working on my first report and am having trouble get the report paraments set up. When I try to set a parameter on the Data tab such as @Zipcode it treats it as a string and surround it with quotes. Also it does not automatically create a parameter in the Report Parameters collection on the Layout tab. Even if I manually create the parameter it does not tie back to the query. Any ideas of what I should be doing Thanks, Paul Hammond Richmond, VA If you write a query for a SQL Server data source, such as SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employee WHERE EmployeeID = @EmpID report designer will automatically detect the query ...Show All

• Windows Forms Odd ComboBox behaviour

  Hi, I'm getting a strange behaviour with a ComboBox control, I'll try to make the situation clear: I have a DataTable, wich is correctly filled by a SqlDataAdapter, used as DataSource for my ComboBox. I correctly set the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties and the ComboBox displays and it also returns the correct value after the user has clicked on it. The problem lies here: I need to set the SelectedValue property before the user can do any interaction (I have to display a specific name) but before the ComboBox has been clicked, no matter what I do, the SelectedValue has always a null value!!!
