• Visual FoxPro How to save whole row in the grid to a table

  I am working with around 4 rows of data in the grid. When user input 4 rows of datas in grid and then press the save button, I want to save all the 4 rows in a dbf table. However, I can only insert the last (active) row of data to the table using the insert SQL statement.

  I stopped using C# about a year ago. I hated the complexity of using strings. Gone were the days of MyString = "Hello"; I had to now make an object. String manipulation, which was once easy using MID, RTRIM, REPLACE, etc., now is tedious. Anyway, I was wondering if the newest version of C# has made it any easier Um, you couldnt do - string s = "Hello"; what was so hard a ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET framework adoption rate?

  We are trying to decide on whether to maintain 1.1 compatibility for our software or use some of the new features in 2.0. Thus we need to know how widely .NET 1.1 has been adopted by end users. If few machines have 1.1 installed we might as well use 2.0 since most users will have to download the redistributable anyway.
