    - Publishing VSTO 2005 SE addin to a network location Rakesh, Because I specifically pass the process ID, it only killed the instance that was loaded, not all instances. It may be possible to do so if you can detect which ones are office instances. As long as you inititally installed the addin using a setup project, you shouldn't have to change any registry settings if you overwrite the files in the install directory with those from the publish directory. VSTO loads addins based upon the details in the manifest, so as long as the manifest is correct (which it should be), it should load the latest version.

    - Converting Interoped Code to Managed Code It's VSTO 2005 SE. But, its a conversion from the original VB6 program. The conversion created a bunch of references to COM objects and I'm wanting to get away from that if I can. I'm having a lot of problems with keeping a machine that will run the COM relic. The references to Word & Tools are all added by me in an attempt to find the Range object. I'm now attempting to add the Inerop.Word but I'm having a devil of a time. I see it in the gac but don't find any file that I can point the references to. I wanted to see what references the project type created so I just tried to create a new Word Document project in VS2005 and get this message: "Programmatic access to the Microsoft Office Visual Basic for Applications project system could not be enabled. If Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Office Excel is running, it can prevent programmatic access from being enabled. Exit Word or Excel before opening or creating your project." The only thing is that I don't have Word or Excel running, I've rebooted and then double checked the Task Manager processes to make sure. But I still get this message. My workstation is Vista with UAC disabled. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office SerializationException: Type is not resolved for member ... Office

    - Create MergeField from string I know from VSTO that it is possible to create MergeFields, and although I have not tried the drag&drop idea, I have added mergefields to documents using C# add-ins. A suggestion would be for you to format the text-string in such a way that you can scan the document after it has been dropped and convert the text into a mergefield. For example, let's say you wish to add an Address_Line_1 mergefield. Drop the text **Address_Line_1** (something unique) and then search for it in ActiveDocument. Select it and then add the mergefield in the selected range, with the name of the text, minus the asterisks.

    - Office add-ins not running on clients I'm having a similar problem. It started with the plugin not loading. After some searching I found the above example, and followed it. After building my install project, I attempted to install the new one (after removing the old one). It installed fine, except when I loaded Outlook, the button did not appear. I looked into the COM Ad-ins in Outlook, and it isn't showing up. To sum up: First builds didn't load - had the error loading COM message. Second builds with SetSecurity project - didn't even show up in the outlook com ad-ins list.

    - Customize Outlook View--use Custom Task/Form, or what? I am looking for how to implement the following: Modify Outlook UI (VSTO, I assume), so the Mailbox view, the navigation pane displays a list of folders, which are not mail folders. They would be folders which represent folders say on our document storage server. The user should be able to "move" items from say their inbox folder, DRAG AND DROP onto these custom folders mentioned above, then somehow implement code to copy the mail message to the other server. The requirements are asking to have these custom folders, hopefully inside the Outlook Navigation pane (or at least on left nav ). My question is what customization concept should I use My first research (reading only) suggests the usage of a custom task pane, maybe with a tree control. But not sure if I can drag and drop and not sure if I can get the custom task pane to appear in left nav. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    - Shortcut Key for excel addin Hi Ji, That's a wonderful piece of example and I converted it to vb.net code and it works fine. I have also got another post which helped me in converting to vb code. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1934426&SiteID=1 Also, I have few things to clarify. 1) I am involved in migrating 2000 templates to 2007 templates using VSTO. So there are already "Alt" combination shortcut keys in existing templates. Is there any way to assign "Alt" combination shortcut keys 2) Here we have created a macro enabled addin to assign shortcut keys. So while deployment this macro enabled workbook should also accompany this solution right 3) Is there anyway other than this method to assign shortcut key for excel addin created using VSTO SE and Office 2007. Sorry for putting forward too many questions. Thanks a lot for your support till now. Regards, Mohan Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office SerializationException: Type is not resolved for member ...

    - Performance/Display issues with Windows Forms Thank you for the info. What I meant to say is that it was happening for one person (a tester), but she has experienced it on a couple of different Word 2007 workstations (one a laptop, one a desktop). She experienced this with several of the forms in my application - not just a single form. The strange thing about this is that on other PCs, and for other users, the forms all close as expected.

    - Outlook.AppointmentItem.Conflicts - Problem Hi, I get Null for this filter although I should get an appointment. The filter is a bit complicated because I need to find overlapping appointments ( do you have more efficient filter ) , and because I try to find it inside the event method I should ignore the cuurent item so I should add the ('" + ap.GlobalAppointmentID + "' <> [GlobalAppointmentID]). But the I have problem with including this statement, maybe I can't include the GlobalAppointmentID property in the filter, so I think I add UserProperty and add it to the filter.

    - Addin fails to load a DLL which had its version updated. Hi, Sorry, I still cannot reproduce your scenario. This time I create two projects into one solution. And set VSTO project��s dependency as ClassLibrary. But once I rebuild the solution. My vsto project will get the right version of ClassLibrary and copied it to Local place. Everything works fine. I do not think this caused by manifest in excel file. The error message states that exception throws when your customization codes load the ClassLibrary, but not when your document loads your customization codes.

    - Outlook Addin (VSTO) not starting when "outlook.exe" is running with no UI Hi, it seems that this issue has been the topic of many threads (e.g. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=576370&SiteID=1 ). However, I couldn't find any hint on how to solve this problem. How to reproduce: 1. Put a "MessageBox.Show()" or a "File.WriteAllText()" in the startup event handler method. 2. Run any application that starts Outlook in the background. The message or the file won't show up. However, the addin's LoadBehavior is set to two. 3. Fire up Outlook (UI) and check the addin state (Tools > Options > Other ...). It's not loaded due to some error. 4. Close Outlook (UI) and close the application that initially started Outlook in the background. The process "outlook.exe" won't shut down and has to be killed manually. Conclusion: The addin loader seems to cause the error when Outlook is launched with no UI because the addin code never seems to get called. Moreover, it seems to hold some resources that prevents "outlook.exe" from being terminated. Question: Could the conclusion be correct If not, is there any reasonable explanation for this behavior Is there a workaround or a fix for it Please let me know!

    - Excel shapes - editing / creating mixed format Hi Jan From the looks of things, you want to work with the new Office 2007 graphics. These don't have a very good object model - no idea whether they may acquire one in a future version of Office. But for the moment, you need to use the Office Open XML file format to work with the full spectrum of functionality offered by the new graphics engine. You might try looking around and asking at the OpenXMLDeveloper.org website. Jan Ku era wrote: Hi, I have a shape in Excel 2007, which looks like this: Code Snippet My Project cool sheet Project Number Now, I would like by C# (Orcas), eventually VBA modify the individual paragraphs, like Project Number without loosing the formating. I also need to create such formatted shapes. How The Excel macro recording does not capture operations with shapes.

    - VSTO 2005 SE Outlook Requirements on End Users Computers Hi Helmut, Thank you for your reply. Yes prerequisites should be ok as after a lot of trial and error we get them all sorted, except for this question of the Outlook 2003 status. My suspision is that the version of Outlook installed from the Exchange 2003 server Enterprise - Outlook standard 2003 ) does not qualify as "Standalone" I'm note sure where the Office.Core.dll mention is stored but the Office assembly in the cache is version 11.0 I would certainly consider the set up a development machine with Office XP & Outlook 2003 if no other solution is viable but am concerned that if its a problem with the VSTO regarding the machine as not meeting the prerequisites then this will solve it.

    - Dynamic Number of RadioButtons in GroupBox This just can't be that difficult.

I don't know if all 4 entries are really there but stacked so only the last one shows but in debug mode the rbButtons array is properly initialized. <whine>I have never understood why MS treats radio buttons differently from combo-boxes, drop down lists, or any other multi-choice control. It makes no sense and it's a pain in the neck.</whine> Any help will be greatly appreciated. Randy Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office SerializationException: Type is not resolved for member ...

Victor Hadianto

Hi,

I'm currently at loss with this current problem. This is the scenario: I have several c# libraries (all strongly named) in my solution. This solution processes data and serialised the result into a MS SQL Server database.

From my VSTO project (using VB.NET) I tried to access the database and deserialise the result back into my object. Everything works until the moment of deserialisation where I get the SerializationException: Type is not resolved for member ...

I have a test project that accesses the database and deserialise my object and it is working perfectly fine, so I'm certain that the serialisation/deserialisation code is working, but just not within VSTO framework.

Any ideas

Cheers,

Victor

Well for everyone benefit I found what the problem was. Turned out if .NET is hosted by an external process (ie: Excel) it often fails to load referenced assemblies. I had to reference the assemblies manually on the project reference and this problem is gone.

To find out which Assemblies .NET is trying to load you need to hook into the AssemblyResolve event of the current app domain. The error message is a red-herring thus sent me to a wild goose chase for a good part of the day.
