• .NET Development How to do a programmatic update of table

  Assume a table called Test with three columns and n rows: ID integer identity primary key UpperLimit integer V1 integer Test is part of a SQL Server 2000 database on a server.   I want to read and update the table using the following algorithm   for i = 0 to n-2     test(i).V1 = (test(i).UpperLimit + test(i+1).UpperLimit) / 2 next test(n-1).V1 = (test(0).UpperLimit + test(n-1).UpperLimit) / 2   How would I do this in a .NET 2 web site or VB application.  It would be OK, but not necessary to use a datagrid to display the results.  The main thing is just to read the table, modify each row ...Show All

• Visual Basic Blair Allen Stark

  Here is the problem I am working on. It asks me to use the method CalculateCharges, but I don't fully understand how to do this or how it works. I would be grateful for any input.

• Windows Forms PictureBox GotFocus/Enter events

  I have a Picturebox and TextBox on a usercontrol.  I want to draw a border around the the usercontrol when the usercontrol (or anything else in it) is selected.  I have a sub that draws the border around the control.  The sub is called from the Enter event of the UserControl and the TextControl.  However, when I try to do the same thing with the PictureBox, I don't see an Enter event listed for the PictureBox (strange as it is inherited from control) and while the GetFocus event is available, it does not seem to fire.  Do I have to enable the focus events in the PictureBox somehow   The PictureBox is already set ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro 2 more questions (VFP8)

  (1) I've made and deployed a simple app. with its own helpfile, but when deployed, nothing happens when I press F1. (It is not, that the app cannot locate the helpfile. If I rename it, I get an error when starting the program.). Any suggestions (2) The other problem is, that about one in every 4 times I close the program, the process keeps hanging and thus locking my datafiles. (When I kill the process, the datafiles are corrupted, when I start the app again). Any suggestions The PACK command only works if you open the table exclsuively. Could it be that there's an error on this line and the error handler a ...Show All

  I use _cryptapi class of the _CRYPT class library to encrypt limited amount of information: ids and passwords. They are in a table and the table feeds treeview items on demand.
