Has anyone got any suggestions for unit testing a Managed Application Add-In for Office? I'm using NUnit but I had the same issues with MSTest. The problem is that there is a .NET assembly loaded inside the Office application (in my case, Word) and I need a reference to that instance of the .NET assembly. I can't just instantiate the ...

I'd like to know if it's possible to capture the text when a user right-click's on an Outlook message, and then add items to the right-click menu depending on the type of text. This is an example of what I'd like to do. If there's a message (mail item) with the following content: "Hello, please call me at 555-8474 regarding item A1234...
I am currently using the following code to create a web request: Dim myRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://foo.com/bar") Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse() The problem is that this "locks" up the program until the request is completed (and program will hang if the request never completes). How do yo...
.Net has a lot of complex data structures. Unfortunately, some of them are quite similar and I'm not always sure when to use one and when to use another. Most of my C# and VB books talk about them to a certain extent, but never really go into any real detail. What's the difference between Array, ArrayList, List, Hashtable, Dictionary, S...
I have a third party COM dll that I'm trying to add to a vb.net (2008 express) project. I put the dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ and registered it with "regsvr32 vxncom.dll". When I go to projects > add reference and go to the COM tab it shows up in the list of available components/libraries. But, when I select the library and hit ok, visua...

What's the best / most efficient way to build such a text file on a .net web server? Edit: to answer a question down below, this is going to be a download once and then throw-away kind of file. U...
Assuming I have only the class name of a generic as a string in the form of "MyCustomGenericCollection(of MyCustomObjectClass)" and don't know the assembly it comes from, what is the easiest way to create an instance of that object? If it helps, I know that the class implements IMyCustomInterface and is from an assembly loaded into the...
I'm not that up on VB.NET, the application I'm working on was not written by myself. It works fine through the IDE but once I run it from the exe it gives me the above error. Any clues? This is really hacking me off! ...

I'm looking to pick up either C# or VB.Net. I'd done a fair bit of VB6 programming in the past. I'm looking at getting the book, Visual Basic .NET or C#, Which to Choose? but I'm hoping that someone has read it, or used both languages and can offer advice. Should I just RTFB? Edit: Anders Sandvig raised a valid question. I'm intend...
Hi I am writing an application in VB.NET 2008 that manages software deployment and I want to display a "deployment overview" grid. The grid will be populated with the names of each application (top row) and the name of each workstation (1st column). The remaining cells will be populated according to whether the corresponding software t...
I have a .NET application which has different configuration files for Debug and Release builds. E.g. the debug app.config file points to a development SQL Server which has debugging enabled and the release target points to the live SQL Server. There are also other settings, some of which are different in debug/release. I currently use t...
I am moving from classic ASP to ASP.NET and have encountered what many of you already know as "viewstate". I might be jumping the gun with my assumption, but it looks highly cumbersome. I have developed many ASP forms in the past and never had issues with keeping state. Is there another way OR am I going to have to learn this Viewstat...

Basically I've got 2 tabs: TAB 1 holds a datagridview with limited info and a calendar. Selecting dates on the calendar change the info in the datagridvi...
