    - The customization assembly could not be found or could not be loaded. Hi, I have started getting this when running my VSTO project inside the IDE. It was working before I deleted a couple of sheets out. If I create a new VSTO project it works fine. The DLL is getting created and is the right name. I've also turned on all exception under debugging, but it gives me no more information. Oh, and there is nothing in the details box! I am at a bit of a loss.

    - Sample for reading a Word 2007 document with C# or VB.NET? Word Programming Newbie here. I've been browsing around trying to find a simple tutorial on how to read a Word 2007 document in VB.NET or C# and I can't seem to find any samples. Can anyone provide me a pointer Specifically, I have a Word document template that people on my team use. The template includes a table that contains document status info. I'd like to be able to write a program to read the data in the table from all the documents in a directory and report on document status. If anyone could give me a pointer to a sample that shows how to read data out of a Word 2007 doc I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem? Office

    - Discontiguous selection in Word 2007? I am developing a VSTO SE Addin for Word 2007. I need to determine if the user's current selection in Word 2007 is discontiguous (i.e., one or more non-adjacent paragraphs selected with Ctrl key), then handle accordingly. The Selection.Type object does not seem to offer this information. Is there some way that I can find out if a discontiguous selection is made in the Word document Thanks.

    - Speed: How to fill an Excel sheet quickly. I wish I knew! I'm using VSTO and Office 2003 and have written an Excel Add-in using the VS2005 project template for that. It works beautifully and does everything I want. But it's so slow it's almost impractical to use. Performance seems to have dropped radically aome stage and I can't diagnose why. In any case I'm frustrated by lack of knowledge on how to fille a worksheet quickly. What I've implemented uses tips gather on-line. In essence I use a helper routine to write out rows to a sheet and it looks like this: Code Block public static Excel. Range SetRow(Excel. Worksheet worksheet, int row, int col, string [] values) { for ( int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++) { Excel. Range R = GetRange(worksheet, row, col + i); R.Value2 = values[i]; } return GetRange(worksheet, row, col, row, col + values.Length - 1); } This works a dream, but I can't help but feel there's not a better way to do this. GetRange is another helper which uses the WorkSheet .get_Range method to get a range (it's overloaded clearly). It loops through every cell in a row and gets that range and sets its Value2 property. What I'd like actually is to prepare a two dimensional array and say "Copy this array to this worksheet" and that array can contain strings for the cells or for the formats to apply or values or whatever. But it should work as one slab copy and efficiently. The code above writes out lines so slowly I can watch it walk down the worksheet as it writes and it'll take a noticeable time (20 seconds ) to fill the rows on my screen. This is abysmal. Where are the inefficiencies and how can I speed this up Need to know more Happy to oblige. Is anyone writing data out to a spreadsheet blindingly fast (as it should be) If so, how Thanks. Bernd.

    - Passing parameters programmatically from VB.NET to Word Application.Run command Hi, I have a question regarding writing Word VBA code with a VB.NET application. I am wondering if it is possible to pass parameters to the Application.Run command in an array, similar to the way it is done in PowerPoint VBA, rather than in a list. I would like to set up something like this within my VB.NET application so that this single block of code can be used to automate the production of documents from many different templates : Dim wdApp as Object Dim TemplatePath as String Dim MyMacro as String Dim ParameterArray(30) as String TemplatePath = file path to Word template to use MyMacro = name of the macro to run ParameterArray(0) = argument1 ParameterArray(1) = argument2 . . . ParameterArray(n) = argumentn wdApp = CreateObject( "word.application" ) wdApp.Documents.Add(TemplatePath, False , 0) wdApp.run(MyMacro, ParameterArray) Is there any other way of doing this When I tried the above, I got the following error message: "Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus." Thanks very much for your help. Chris. Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem? Office

    - Apply decmial numbers to Excel Ranges Hi, I've a very basic problem on applying decimal numbers on Excel Ranges. Right now, I'm doing this like this: Code Snippet Excel.Range someRange; someRange.Value2 = "1234"; This works fine. But if I've a decimal number, it doesn't work. I've tried several possibilities: Code Snippet someRange.Value2 = "1234.45"; someRange.Value2 = "1234,56"; // Because I'm using a german Office Version. decimal d = 1234.56; someRange.Value2 = d; No matter which version I'm using, the number appears in the Cell - so far so good. But Excel doesn't recognize it as a number but as a string - e.g. it is put to the left instead of the right. I'm using the following numberformat for the range: Code Snippet someRange.NumberFormat = "#,###,###.00"; Any hints for me Yours Volker Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem?

    - Deployed Excel Add-in doesn't load The below I pasted from my upload on http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.excel.programming&mid=1d13e6bc-4cc9-41ae-9744-2b32bc20a267 As this is the first VSTO-Office Add-in I try to deploy I haven't a clue why things doesn't work. The Add-In does install into the directory I expected, but simply doesn't load into Excel! (I see now a thread "Mysterious Add-in load issue" popping up, so sorry if this duplicates that thread) ADDITION I tried the suggested http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/6/7/b6711d3b-b509-4567-8599-98bf3473310f/vs2005-kb908002-enu-x86.exe solution mentioned in that thread however at this moment things seems to remain the same as it was! (perhaps since I'm using office 2007 in stead of 2003! , I'll experiment somewhat further with this!!!!) ======== FURTHER EXPERIENCE After restart of my developmentpc the Excel Add-in worked, however the Add-in setup Bolts crying the need for: KB908002\extensibilityMSM.msi KB908002\lockbackRegKey.msi KB908002\office2003-kb907417sfxcab-ENU.exe Read the need to add a seperate directory to the location of the setup, after this the setup worked on the targeted USER-machine However attempts to load the Add-in still gave the loading problem! ======= APOLOGIES with appologies for this scrappy contribution, it turned out that the above version that "worked" was the compiled, which had to be manually removed. after done thus and reinstall the add-in, also on this development machine the add-in DID NOT load. So back to where I was at the situation described below, on both development and user pc's. END ADDITION I wrote an excel 2007 add-in with C# using VSTO and VS 2005. The add in works fine when started from VS 2005 so I sought to deploy. The manifest reads: <assembly xmlns="urn chemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn chemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity name="WinPrefabExcelPane.dll" version="1.0.0.0" /> <asmv2:entryPoint name="Startup" dependencyName="dependency0"> <asmv2:clrClassInvocation class="WinPrefabExcelPane.ThisAddIn" /> </asmv2:entryPoint> <asmv2 ependency asmv2:name="dependency0"> <asmv2 ependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="WinPrefabExcelPane" version="1.0.0.0" publicKeyToken="67511199162933c1" /> </asmv2 ependentAssembly> <asmv2:installFrom codebase="WinPrefabExcelPane.dll" /> </asmv2 ependency> </assembly> Trying to load this installed version however I get after trying to load this "COM Add-in" the message: Load Behaviour: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the Com Add-in. this is the first Add-in I try to deploy in this manner, so I currently have no clue of what is wrong here. The location of the manifest is as expected, but something seems to be missing. As said, starting from VS the add-in works fine. Please help. Problem doesn't seem to be whether or not VS8 is installed. also on this development machine, the installed version of my Excell 2007 add-in doesn't work. When started from my main program from where my users are supposed to start Excel from. Using the installed add-in when program starts from VS8 is an option I might look into. Strangly enough, starting the "mainprogram" from the release directory wherein it is compiled and starting Excell the Add-in loads ! However this seems to be the compiled version of the Add-in and not the installed version! I haven't a clue where the programs (Excell ( )) would obtain the information to start the compiled Add-in! Just some more information on the problem. VSTO / Office people might have some idea. I'm a programmer in a production environment and the system should be up and running asap, currently no user (without VS8) can even test the system! curious oddity. Excell 2007 add-ins seem to be centering around .manifest files. the "COM Add-in" interface of Excel 2007 one can Remove the installed (it seems) Add-in however for some peculiar reason the Add option does not offer the option to reinstall a .manifest file (exe and dll are opted to search for). The only way to reobtain the .manifest in the listed options is to reinstall, which as said doesn't work. So there is no way to try the version in my compiled directory this way. Copying two .pdb files (from the compile release directory) into the install-directory doesn't seem to help, didn't think so but heh at this point I'll try anything. Information anywhere about these .manifest files is curiously low, save some listings in the two books. (I reckon since things ain't working as they should!)

    - Outlook 2007 Web Browsing Add-in I am trying to develop an add-in for Outlook 2007 which is essentially a web browsing add-in. The basic workflow is: 1. Select a folder listed under Inbox\Mail Folders 2. A list of websites appear as mail items would 3. Select one of the mail items to pull up the site in the right frame The purpose of this is to be able to navigate a portal system from within Outlook. It seems pretty straightforward to me but so far I've ran into a couple roadblocks. First, it seems that the WebViewURL property only exists on Folders, not on MailItems. Secondly, the only method I can find to open an HTML page from a MailItem seems to only work with HTML files saved locally, not with URLs. As an alternative, I would be happy with having the "websites" be represented by additional folders and just using the WebViewURL property, but I don't think I can change the icon to something that doesn't resemble a folder in some way. Also, I don't think you can change the way the folders are sorted -- they are always alphabetical. I assume that it's possible to do what I need to do, but my experience with VSTO is limited to just this project. I am hoping that someone here can lead me in the right direction... I'm not looking for a complete solution... just any suggestions that may help me get there. Thanks, Ryan Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem? Office

    - Newbie Question VSTO v. VS 2005 Pro Hi there We have been using Visual Studio 98 for an old, but important tool in the company. That application used Automation to start Excel and add worksheets and data. Now we will be rewriting this applications with VS 2005 in C#, and I'm trying to understand how to achieve the same kind of interaction with Excel. What are the ways that one can interact with Excel via VS 2005 and in .NET Is it still possible and/or desirable to use automation to "drive" Excel Are there other ways that are easier or better now Can one use these methods to interact with Office without VSTO And lastly, I'm not sure I understand the exact purpose of VSTO.. Can someone help me here From what I can tell, it looks like you are not writing stand-alone applications that invoke Office apps and interact with them, but instead are writing code that will be stored as part of an Office document (must like a macro used to do ) Any insight here would help. We have to decided between purhcasing VS 2005 Pro and VSTO and aren't sure which we need. Thanks! Michael Tag: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem? Office

Toxter

Hello everyone,

I'm developing Outlook 2003 addin.

I'm using a copy of MailItem temporarily which I need to delete later.

I can do that by calling MailItem.Delete() method.

When I invoke Delete() method, Outlook stores it in 'Deleted Items' folder .

I would like to delete MailItem without Outlook storing it to 'Deleted Items' folder (like Shift+Delete).

Is this possible

Thanks.

Re: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem?

Sue Mosher - Outlook MVP

Try this: Use the Move method to move the item to the Deleted Items folder, getting a reference to the item that Move returns and then deleting that moved item.

Re: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem?

Toxter

Hello Sue,

This tip works with one little change:

after moving a MailItem to 'Deleted Items' folder, moved item needs to be saved first (by invoking MailItem.Save()) and

after that it can be deleted (by invoking MailItem.Delete()).

Without saving first, it wouldn't be deleted(I'm not sure why).

I just thought I need to write this in case someone else has a same problem.

Thanks again for your help.

Having similar problems but only with 2007 outlook.....

2003 this code works 2007 it throws an exception.. Message

cannot delete .....

Try

GetCurrentMailItem.Delete()

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox("About To Delete Emails -" & ex.Message)

End Try

Re: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem?

Sue Mosher - Outlook MVP

Is there anything special or significant about GetCurrentMailItem Does another object have a reference to the same item Have you checked to see if you can delete the item manually

Re: Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete Outlook MailItem?

KateCooper

Sue,

This is the whole code segment...

Public TheCurrentInspector As Outlook.Inspector = Nothing

TheCurrentInspector = TheOutlookApp.ActiveInspector

Public Function GetCurrentMailItem() As Outlook.MailItem

Return TheCurrentInspector.CurrentItem

End Function

GetCurrentMailItem.Delete()

Not positive about another object having a reference... (Legacy Code-not mine)

don't think so since it is used by the email author alone (one author)

Can delete the item manually no problem there....

If I put a Try...Catch in with Exception I get a message (from outlook ) cannot delete item...

Works fine on 2003 crashes on 2007....

Thanks
