Well, I'm pleased to say that making one last Google search I finally found the answer to this problem. Here it is in case it can help anyone else out. The answer was found here:
*****
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285885
Before you quit Word or transfer control to the user, set the Saved property of the Normal.dot template to True as follows:
Application.NormalTemplate.Saved = True
*****
That in effect makes Word think that the Normal.dot template has already been saved, so it now does not complain about it as Word closes. I verified the creation/edit time of the Normal.dot file in my Microsoft Templates folder to make sure it was truly not changed. This looks like the fix!

Frank,
Just wanted to thank you for this post, it helped me out a bunch with an app that I wrote parsing apart specified word files. I was getting very frustrated about Word not closing until I found your post.
Thanks a million

Using .Net 2, is there a way to determine if a date in the past falls under DST for a specific time zone using the DST rules for the year of the date. For example, if I have April 2, 2004, I would like to determine if I should be using DST using the 2004 rules for Eastern Time (GMT -5). It doesn't appear that .Net has anything that support this, and I can't tell if Windows even supports this for dates in the past. I know how to do this for current dates.

Yes, well sort of.
See DateTime.Kind[^]
However you might also read this[^] as it explains that there is no correct conversion.

Hi,
I am using an IDataReader with SQL and ASP.Net. I keep getting an IndexOutOfRangeException because in one of the columns there is only a value for some of the rows (ex. if the size is over 0.5 there is a value, but if it is 0.5 or under that column is blank). How can I do this?
So far I have:
public static List<name> GetAllNames(){
SqlDatabase db = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase() as SqlDatabase;
DbCommand cmd = db.GetStoredProcedureCommand("dbo.GetAllNames");
List<names> namelist= new List<name>();
using (IDataReader reader = db.ExecuteReader(cmd))
{
while(reader.Read())
{
namelist.Add(GetNameFromReader(reader));
}
}
return namelist;
}
private static Name GetNameFromReader(IDataReader reader)
{
Name name_obj = new Name(
(int)reader["ID"],
((reader)["size"] !=DBNull.Value)? (int)reader["size"] : (int)0));
return name_obj;
}</name></names></name>
Thanks so much for your help!

The code looks OK. I don't see why you'd get IndexOutOfRangeException for some rows but not others.

I am not getting this?
By the way try this:
private static Name GetNameFromReader(IDataReader reader)
{
Name name_obj = new Name(
(int)reader["ID"],
(reader["size"] != DBNull.Value)? (int)reader["size"] : (int)0);
return name_obj;
}
Be careful, there is no Undo Button(Ctrl+Z) in life.

Hi,
Ever used the old DataGrid control "not the DataGridView" and wanted to add a comboBox column?? Well, I'm trying to do so and according to many websites they have it under System.Windows.Forms namespace but I just cant find it in the intelisense....
Pleeeeeeeeeez help guys!
All generalizations are wrong, including this one!

Hi,
I had a quick rummage in the MSDN library. It reports that that control isn't in the System.Windows.Forms namespace, but instead is in Microsoft.CLRAdmin. It's also marked as 'This class supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.' This suggests to me that if what you want to do is possible, it has to be done another way. Perhaps there is a method on one of the other DataGridView classes to add it for you.
I'm sorry this doesn't really solve your problem, but it does answer your question 
Also, a free tip: Adding things like

I'm currently in the process of refactoring a web app to make it more testable and have posted here about it.
I've managed to move forward a lot but now I'm in the situation where I perform the dependency injection on the constructor or via setting properties and the number of items needed is increasing e.g. Membership, state management, meta data provider etc.
Although I could look at using static classes within the assembly I need to provide the implementation to be used from outside the assembly e.g. web app creates instance of class providing the relative dependancies and I am also concerned about the testability of static classes.
Any suggestions about approaches I could take or patterns I could follow would be greatly appreciated.

Some cross-cutting concerns can be aggregated into "context", which is usually globally accessible. Think of HttpContext...you can access it anywhere via HttpContext.Current. Think of context from a grammatical perspective...certain words or phrases only have meaning when they are taking "in context". Same general idea with programming. A piece of code really only works when you factor in the appropriate context(s). Not everything needs to be injected, some things should be globally accessible via one or more contexts. This might help lighten your DI load so that you are only injecting direct dependencies of each class, while keeping global dependencies properly centralized.

DateTime dateRented = rental_InvoiceTableAdapter1.getTimeRentedbyInvoiceNo(int.Parse(txtInvoiceNo.Text));
I can't figure out why I'm getting this exception thrown by this code. I'm trying to collect a single cell from the DateTime column "Time_Rented" using a SQL statement. The SQL statement works fine in the query builder, so it has to be something in the C# code.
The entire error message is:
"Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.DateTime?' to 'System.DateTime'. An explicit conversion exists ( are you missing a case?)"
Both sides of the statement are DateTime, aren't they? I don't understand why it can't convert it.
Please help!

That's confusing me, as well. I didn't type System.DateTime? anywhere. If I had typed it incorrectly the debugger would have notified me when I typed it. I'll do a search for it, anyway.

It's a nullable datetime. int? is a nullable int, for example.

Look closely at the message. DateTime? is a nullable DateTime. You'll have to do the explicit conversion
[EDIT] or alternatively declare you date rented as the nullable DateTime? type.

I've been trying to do the explicit conversion. How do I know what the explicit conversion is? I've tried DateTime.Parse the query results as a string and I've tried Convert.DateTime. Can you offer any other possibilities?

DateTime? is short-hand for Nullable<DateTime>, using the Nullable<T> class introduced in .NET Framework 2.0. The Nullable types are actually a class that is a wrapper around a value type. To get the underlying value from a Nullable<T>, use the Value property like so:
DateTime dateRented = rental_InvoiceTableAdapter1.getTimeRentedbyInvoiceNo(int.Parse(txtInvoiceNo.Text)).Value;
Or you can declare dateRented as Nullable<DateTime> (same as DateTime?) rather than a normal DateTime, like so:
DateTime? dateRented = rental_InvoiceTableAdapter1.getTimeRentedbyInvoiceNo(int.Parse(txtInvoiceNo.Text));
OR
Nullable<DateTime> dateRented = rental_InvoiceTableAdapter1.getTimeRentedbyInvoiceNo(int.Parse(txtInvoiceNo.Text));
The message really means that the getTimeRentedbyInvoiceNo() function is returning a DateTime? and you are trying to stuff that return value into a DateTime; and they are two different types.
Hope in one hand and poop in the other; see which fills up first. Hope and change were good slogans, now show us more than words.

I tried those and even though the debugger is ok with them, and the other conversions I've tried, I get an exception telling me the input value is not in the correct format.

This may be a different problem now. Where did the exception arise and do you know that the result of int.Parse is valid input for your function?
Alan.

For some reason the query that fills the txtInvoiceNo textbox is not yielding a result, so my input is an empty string. I'll have to figure out why that is.
In any case, this problem is solved, then. Thanks everyone for helping this poor noob.  I learned some new things.

I'm sorry about my English.But I wish you guys can understand what I said.
I wanna made a modal popup window when the application is executing.
Show some information to user,maybe execute message like "please wait..." or a progress bar something.
How to create a modal dialog during execution in winform?Give me sample source code would be better.
The Main Form will stoped execute when Form.ShowDialog(). I need show the popup form,and the main form still execute.
like this:
void subA()
{
ShowExecuteDialog(); //when show this popup dialog,still execute functionA,b,c,d..
FunctionA();
FunctionB();
FunctionC();
FunctionD();
CloseExecuteDialog();
}

well i assume you can create a form and show that from another form?
well when you show the 'pop-up' form just use form.ShowDialog(); that will make it the only focusable form and well wait for user to click a button to close. On which you need to handle the button click and either .Hide() or .Close() the form. If you want to access propoerties from the form then you will need to use .Hide() so it doesnt dispose of all data
My opinion is... If someone has already posted an answer, dont post the SAME answer
