    Can VS2008 publish such that .NET 3 is not required for installs?

    I upgraded a VB project from VS2005, but now installations require .NET 3 on the target machine, even though my project only asks for .NET 2. Dot NET 3 takes 3 times longer than .NET 2 to load and install, so I would rather stick with 2 at this time. My project only lists .NET 2 as a dependency...

    I want to move left two characters after a selection.find executes, backspace twice (over spaces) and insert insert a single character of a different font (an X in arial black) of equal width.

    How to Publish Excel Files w/ My App?

    It is using ClickOnce deployment in Visual Studio 2005 but it wouldn't deploy XLS and DOC files. As it turns out the default Build Action in the Properties pane is set to None for XLS and DOC files that you include in your resources. All you have to do is set the Build Action to content (the...

    How to Publish Excel Files w/ My App?

    I assume that I am suppose to add the files either to resources or settings, but I can't figure out how to reference them once I've put them there.

    Imbed an Excel Sheet in a Word Doc W/OUT Every Excel Grid Visible

    I know how to turn off gridlines for an Excel object in VB.NET by running oXL.ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False, but how do you get the oXL object for a spreadsheet that you have just imbedded in a Word document using AddOLEObject? I need to be able to imbed an Excel spreadsheet in a Word...

    Imbed an Excel Sheet in a Word Doc W/OUT Every Excel Grid Visible

    When imbedded in a Word document, all of the worksheet grid lines with no border appear in gray, rather than blank as they should. What a useful feature!! Thank you so much Microsoft... Can I salvage this, or am I going to have to convert this to a PDF and import that instead?

    Which version of .NET has the System.Management namespace?

    I've got .NET 2.0 loaded and it is not present. What version of .NET has this namespace? I need to map network drives.

    Which version of .NET has the System.Management namespace?

    Excel Interop: Workbooks.Add throws exception 800a03ec

    No, that is not .NET syntax. I don't remember how I fixed this, but it was not connected to any of the usual cases associated with that exception number.

    My VB.NET program works great on my machine, but on our 2003 server with Office 2007 installed the Workbooks.Add method fails with this mysterious exception.
