I am using Visual Studio 2003 and trying to use the "Start External
Program" option to start Excel when I run the program. What happens is
that Excel opens and then immediately closes. I know that in the past
it has opened and stayed open, and I am wondering what I have
inadvertently changed and how I can change it back.
Thanks,

as you stated it in your post when you open excell it should stay open. This
is correct. You are eather closing excel or it is bombing.
are you shelling
shell("excel.ex e" filename.xls)
i belive that opens a excel file.

No, I am not using "shell"--I am trying to use Visual Studio's Start
External Program feature, which should open up a blank excel file.
Excel works just fine when I open it manually (outside of visual studio)

Dim ProcID As Integer
' Start the Calculator application, and store the process id.
ProcID = Shell("CALC.EXE ", AppWinStyle.Nor malFocus)
' Activate the Calculator application.
AppActivate(Pro cID)
SendKeys.SendWa it("22")
SendKeys.SendWa it("*")

Hello,
I have a C# program that builds a txt file and then, calls an external

(we copy a template of the DBF file into the process folder where the exe
lies and then this clipper EXE does the data move from the txt file to the
DBF file).
This process works fine on at least 3 PCs (Win 2K Pro and Win XP Pro) -

Can I trigger an external program to run when a new record is added to

The external program is in C and instead of scanning the table

Any suggestions?

Hi,
This morning I installed Visual Studio 2005 side-by-side 2003. The
first problem I've noted is that projects in 2003 that have "Start
External Program" set don't do that. I'm creating a DLL plug-in for
ArcMap (an ESRI product), so I set the external program to point to its
EXE.
When debugging, it shows the splash screen of the application it's
supposed to start, then bombs with no error message, and the debugging
stops (just...

I am developing a component in .Net 1.1, and want to debug it using the

with no error, and the ide returns to a stopped state awaiting my

Hello,
I'm new to the realm of .NET application creation, so please forgive
my ignorance.
I have been tasked with debugging a problem that arises with using a
DLL that contains managed and unmanaged code in concert with a managed
application that makes calls to the DLL. This problem has been
cropping up for a while, but the debugger provides very little
information (from what I can tell) as to what exactly is the problem.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
