Hi,

I need to export a selected subgraph, but when I click "Export Selection to a New NodeXL WorkBook" unexpected problem occurred.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: tcap479 **

This might be a bug in NodeXL related to language. The feature works fine on my English computers, but I haven't tried it on a Portuguese computer. (I *think* that's the language in your screenshot.)

Can you please try temporarily switching your computer's Region and Language format to English, then try using Export Selection to New NodeXL Workbook again. (Instructions are below.) I'm not suggesting this as a long-term fix, but it might be a temporary workaround for you, and it will tell me how to describe the problem in the bug report I'll file.

Thanks,
Tony

1. In the Windows Start menu, go to Control Panel, Region and Language. (Unfortunately, I don't know the names in your language.)

2. In the Region and Language dialog box, go to the Formats tab.

3. In the Formats tab, set "Format" to "English (United States)".

Commented Unassigned: Micrososff Office Document Customization message [24315]

tcap479 — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:16:11 GMT

Can you confirm whether the message received is known to the CodePlex team. My IT Team have completed the installs on a couple of occasions and received the message 'Customization could not be loaded because the application domain could not be created'.

Are there any steps we can take to remove the message.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: tcap479 **

Are there Excel add-ins installed on the troublesome computers? We've had at least one report of this error message being caused by a conflict between NodeXL and another add-in; see http://nodexl.codeplex.com/discussions/258946.

As an experiment, try disabling the other add-ins, closing Excel, and opening NodeXL.

Commented Issue: I want to display a directed graph dynamically on web page. [24272]

tcap479 — Tue, 14 May 2013 00:02:53 GMT

Here graph will generated dynamically on web page. Vertices will fetch from database and it will create edges between vertices according to relation between different vertices. Edges should be directed.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: tcap479 **

I don't have any sample code for that. It probably wouldn't be of much help to you anyway, because database code is highly application dependent, and I know nothing about your application other than the fact that it's a website. There are many databases you can use, many ways to access each database, and countless database schemas you might design.

If you are new to this stuff, here is a good introduction to SQL:

http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_intro.asp

One database that's free and relatively easy to use is Microsoft SQL Server Express:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/editions/2012-editions/express.aspx

And here is an overview of ADO.NET, which is Microsoft's database-access layer for C# and other .NET languages:

Thank you sir...It is help full, I implemented graph with some static value of vertices and edges but I am not able to understand that how I can implement on my web page with database. Please Provide me any sample code if it is possible. It will be very help full for me.

You can do that today. In the NodeXLApi.chm help file that ships with the NodeXL Class Libraries, see the "NodeXLVisual Class" topic for sample code.

Commented Issue: Installation error with Visual Studio [23863]

benchu — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:13:02 GMT

I have Windows 7 and Office 2010 and keep getting the following error when I try to install

Component Visual Studio Tools for the Office system 3.0 Runtime Service Pack 1 has failed to install with the following error message:
"Fatal error during installation. "

The following components were successfully installed:
- .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

The following components failed to install:
- Visual Studio Tools for the Office system 3.0 Runtime Service Pack 1

See the setup log file located at 'C:\Users\LP\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD8545.tmp\install.log' for more information.

Any suggestions?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: benchu **

I get the same error as Lisa.

I can't get Visual Studio Tools for Office 3.0 to install because it requires .NET Framework 3.5. I can't install .NET Framework 3.5 because Windows 7 isn't compatible with that version. Windows 7 is only compatible with .NET Framework 4.0.

Thus, I think NodeXL install needs to be updated for Windows 7:
- Use Visual Studio Tools for Office 2010
- Use .NET Framework 4.0

Also it would be good to have the option to disable automatic install of Visual Studio Tools for Office 3.0.

Commented Issue: Add an API option to get rid of the border around images [23856]

lanndo — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:54:14 GMT

Currently each image vertex (VertextShape.Image) is drawn with a border using the vertex color. This color is also used to draw the associated label. However, my graph (showing all vertices as image) would look so much better if we could hide the border. Setting the color to transparent does not work, because that also makes the labels transparent. So there are 2 solutions:
1. Add a VertexLabelColor property. If not set then it should obtain the value from the Color (or PerColor) property.
1. Add a boolean ShowVertexImageBorder property which is true by default. In the case the following line at VertexLabelDrawer.cs:1143 should be checked for this property:

```
WpfGraphicsUtil.DrawPixelAlignedRectangle(oDrawingContext, null,
GetPen(oColor, DefaultPenThickness), oVertexRectangle);
```

agreed, this would make the presentation much better.

Yes, you can choose any folder.

I can't get this problem to occur on my own computers, so I'm having trouble figuring out what's wrong. The error message is saying that an Excel window that is supposed to be visible (and that NodeXL attempts to *force* to be visible) is not actually visible.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with Excel versions. What version of Office are you using? And while I'm at it, what version of Windows do you have on your computer? Is there anything unusual about your Office or Windows environments that you know of?

Thanks,
Tony

The Excel windows were not minimized. As soon as I press "import", the error message appears.

I have collected multiple GraphML files using SampleNetworkConfiguration.xml
What do I choose for "Into a new NodeXL workbook in this folder:"? Can I choose any folder?

Thanks for your help.

Did you happen to minimize one of the Excel windows that NodeXL creates while importing GraphML files? They need to remain visible until the importing is done, even though they might get in the way of other work you might want to do.

You (or someone else, if the workbook came from another person) told NodeXL to automate the workbook after importing the Twitter network, and to save the workbook in the folder "E:\NodeXL\NodeXL Data\Twitter\29146F00" during automation. That folder doesn't seem to exist on your computer.

To fix this problem, go to NodeXL, Graph, Automate in the Excel ribbon, select the "Save workbook to a new file if it has never been saved" task, and click the Options button. In the "Browse for Folder" dialog box that appears, select a folder that does exist.

Or, if you don't want to save the workbook when it is automated, uncheck the "Save workbook to a new file if it has never been saved" option.

Or, if you don't want to automate the workbook after importing a Twitter network, go to NodeXL, Data, Import, Import Options and uncheck "Automate the graph after the data is imported."

If you want your changes to "stick" for all new NodeXL workbooks you create, click NodeXL, Options, Use Current for New after you make your changes.

The next version of NodeXL will have a much better error message than the one you saw in your version.

Commented Issue: Can't do anything else during pause for Twitter rate limited import [24008]

rachelannyes — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 17:12:38 GMT

I have two NodeXL files: one with a big twitter import that's hanging, and a second with the small test batch.

I'd like to test out some graphs with the small completed batch, but am seemingly prohibited unless I cancel the big multistage download.

This seems so crazy I can't imagine it is true. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Tony! Super helpful.

It's a general limitation in Excel, where if you have two workbooks open in one copy of Excel and one of the workbooks is showing a dialog box, like Import from Twitter Search Network, then you can't use the other workbook. This is the case for all Excel dialog boxes; it's not limited to NodeXL.

The workaround for this is to open two copies of Excel, one for each workbook. You can then do whatever you want in the two independent copies. Excel makes it a bit tricky to do this. You can't just double-click a workbook file in Windows Explorer, because that will open the workbook in the first copy of Excel.

Follow these steps to open a NodeXL workbook in a second copy of Excel:

1. In the Windows Start Menu (or start screen on Windows 8), enter "Excel" in the search box, and select the Excel program from the search results. You have now opened a second copy of Excel.

2A. If you want to open an existing NodeXL workbook, use Excel's Open menu to open it.

OR...

2B. If you want to create a new NodeXL workbook, select NodeXLGraph.xltx from Excel's list of recent documents. If it's not in the list, search for NodeXLGraph.xltx on your C: drive.

By the way, I believe your big Twitter import is not hanging; it's pausing until Twitter allows it to continue. You can cancel it if you grow tired of waiting.
