OpenXML add custom style to Quick Style Gallery

I'm creating a Word Document using OpenXML. During the creation of the document, I need to create some custom styles.
Now I've one problem left: I want to put my custom styles inside the Quick Style Gallery, but I wasn't able to do that. The way that I'm following is explained in the following code:
var info = new LatentStyleExceptionInfo
{
Name = styleid,
PrimaryStyle = true,
UnhideWhenUsed = false,
SemiHidden = false,
UiPriority = 1
};
styleDefinitionsPart.Styles.OfType<LatentStyles>().First().Append(info);
Because I've found a link that tells that is the "PrimaryStyle" attribute responsible for put a Style inside the Quick Gallery.
Another thing: opening the styles.xml file, I've noticed that all the other styles has "1" or "0" for the OnOffValue, whereas the custom styles created with that piece of code has "true" or "false".
How can I solve it?
Thanks.

The XML tag that influences appearance of the style in the quick gallery is <w:qFormat/>. The API property that corresponds is Style.QuickStyle. The Interop name is also QuickStyle (boolean).
Btw, I don't think adding a latent style is going to help you. You'll want to add a real, actual, fully-fledged style if you want it to appear in the UI and be operative.

Set ApplicationBarIconButton icon using Bitmap [duplicate]

I have a small C# project that has an ApplicationBar. But I have a small problem: I want 8 icons on the bar, and the ApplicationBar only supports 4. I came up with a solution (in C#): add a small CheckBox to ask if the user wants to use the first or second set of tools.But I'm still not able to change the icons on the ApplicationBar. I tried removing the old ones, first with ApplicationBar.MenuItems.Remove(Button1); and then with ApplicationBar.Buttons.Remove(Button1);
but neither worked. I tried changing the .IconUri property of the button, but that gave me a NullReferenceException.

I don't understand what you mean by changing it from "C#, not Silverlight". C# is a programming language and Silverlight is a framework. Nevertheless, the link you posted to explains exactly how you do it. The ApplicationBar is not a Silverlight control, it's part of the native OS. You can use the code in the link or do something like this:
firstAppBarButton = (ApplicationBarIconButton)ApplicationBar.Buttons[0];
firstAppBarButton.Text = "New Text";
firstAppBarButton.IconUri = new Uri("/appbarIcon.png",UriKind.Relative);
You need to get the ApplicationBarIconButton via the index (0 for first one, 1 for second etc..) instead of by name.

You can't refer to the application buttons by name. Try:
((ApplicationBarIconButton)ApplicationBar.Buttons[0]).Remove
I would also suggest that you do not present two groups of 4 icons to the user. The limit is 4 for a reason. Any more than that requires a UI re-think. Perhaps divide the functionality over a few pages?

The syntax above gave me a compile error. With some additional research, I got this to work for me:
ApplicationBar.Buttons.Remove((ApplicationBarIconButton) ApplicationBar.Buttons[0]);

Open a new window using MapAreaAttributes in microsoft chart control

i am using MS asp.net 3.5 chart control (Pyramid) and on the click of the series/datapoint i need to open a URL in a new window, something like javascript window.open.
Now i have tried a hell lot but that doesn't work. I am not able to give javascript to the datapoint.
Secondly i got to know that MapAreaAttributes could be given to Series as mentioned below if a new window needs to be open
series.MapAreaAttributes= "target='_blank'";
But even this doesn't works????
Guide me! Thanks

I had your same problem just now.
Here is the solutions and it works:
Notice in your code that you're using the single quotation ('). It seems that this is not allowed by the chart control or something. Let me give you an example that might help you understand:
Let's assume you have a JavaScript function that opens a window showing some data when the user clicks on a column (point) in your data (series). You can do it like this:
Chart1.Series["MySeries"].Points[0].Url = "javascript:void(0)"; //this is just to tell the browser not follow a URL, since you will control this with your javascript
Chart1.Series["MySeries"].Points[0].MapAreaAttributes = "onclick=\"OpenWindow();\""; //this is to set the onclick attribute to fire your javascript function when the user clicks your column.
In the above example in the second line of code, notice that I have used double quotation instead of single ones. If you wrote it like this :
"onclick=\'OpenWindow();\'";
it will never work! You have to use double quotations...
Also, since I am a C# developer, you have to use the \" code to write double quotations otherwise, you will get compiler error.
I hope this helps!

How to change the image on the ApplicationBar from C#?

C# Button Text Unicode characters

C# doesn't want to put Unicode characters on buttons. If I put \u2129 in the Text attribute of the button, the button displays the \u2129, not the Unicode character, (example - I chose 2129 because I could see it in the font currently active on the machine).
I saw this question before, link text, but the question isn't really answered, just got around. I am working on applications which are going all over the world, and don't want to install all the fonts, more then "don't want", there are that many that I doubt the machine I am working on has sufficient disk space. Our overseas sales agents supply the Unicode character "numbers". Is there another way forward with this?
As an aside, (curiosity), why does it not work?

The issue is:
C# will let you put Unicode in, like button1.Text = "Hello \u2129";, no problem
but the Visual Studio Forms designer will not recognize '\u2129' as anything special. By design.
So just paste in the '℩' in the Properties Window or use code.

Change the "Font" of the button to the "Font" (From google:Arial Unicode MS) which supports "u2129". It may help you

have you tried entering the characters manually? also, have you tried using a literal string with #"blahblahblah" ?

I was trying to include copyright symbol (\u00a9) in the form title. Using escape characters or changing fonts didn't work for me. I simply copy-pasted the symbol from text editor.
