Just create and .h file with a number of const that described certain constant values for my project. Then I had every file include it, and ta-da! It worked. Clean,...
WCF client from VBA
In .NET, I have developed a client library for my WCF service. I have registered the assembly for COM interop so that I can make calls to the library from VBA.

.NET - Storing An App.config With A Class Library
This seems to be asked a lot on the internet, but so far my research hasn't produced a solution. (And, at least for now, I haven't accepted "it can't be done" as a solution.) At its simplest description, what I'm trying to do is have a config file in a .NET class library project that is available to that class library in any applicatio...

Hello, I've got a program which uses app.config for storing some preferences.

I w...
