• Visual C# Extending Windows Explorer with Windows Forms

  This might not be the right forum for this question and if that is so I do appologize. I'd like to add another menu item on the right click menu that appears when I right click certain file types in Windows Explorer Can this be done without the need for extensive C++ code I'd prefer to write this in C# but will write it in C++ if its not too extensive as I only need this as a personal 'helper app'. Thanks in advance Doug Holland It can be done with no code at all, you just need some registry entries. It's explained here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_b ...Show All

• .NET Development ADODB Error

  I get the following error from my App " The located assembly's manifest definition with name 'Interop.ADODB' does not match the assembly reference" I have .NET 1.1 Fwk. Any help is appreciated.

Again, this will be frustrating because of the numerous issues with COM interop. I suggest you investigate migrating to ADO.NET. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can I customize the VSTS bug report?

  Hi all, I want to customize the VSTS bug report: Bug Rate, and Bugs by Priority. Currently, these two reports are based on daily data. And I want to create the corresponding reports by weekly data. Any approach to realize it Thanks, Leon Hello Leon, You can customize the reports and create a new methodology so new projects created with that methodology get those customized reports or you can customize a report in a project. This is how you would do it in a project: 1. In your application tier open http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx . 2. Click on the project with the report you want to customize. 3.

• Visual FoxPro report temp file not found

  I need to create a simple report, nothing fancy. Just to preview some memo fields. This is the code I use. lcFile = "C:\VFP_Projects\Reports\MyReport.FRX" SET DIRECTORY TO "C:\VFP_Projects\TEMPORARYFILES\" CREATE REPORT (lcFile) FROM (ALIAS()) FIELDS memo1 The second line (set directory to) should be explained.

• Visual Basic windows generated code

  When you drag a datatable onto the form and then drag another data table that is linked to the first table, you have created a master/detail database.  I have it working properly but would like to know where the windows generated code is so I can learn how to program that.  I have looked in the Form1.Designer.VB but it is not there.  When I click on a row in the master table, it fills the detail table.  It must do some type of parameter or query.  Where is that code.  Thank you. I'm assuming you have a dataset that has a foreign key constraint to link the tables together.  ...Show All

• SQL Server Index on bit fields in SQL Server Management Studio

  I noticed that I can put a bit field in an index in a SQL Server 2000 database, while using the SQL Server Management Studio (shipped with SQL Server 2005). In SQL Enterprise Manager this wasn't possible. Does SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and doesn't Enterprise Manager support it, or doesn't SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and is it a 'bug' of the SQL Server Management Studio Thanks. My experience tells me that this is not true. When the SQL Server only has to access an index instead of the real table, this can increase performance. In the past we've converted Bit fields to Ti ...Show All

• Visual C++ Migrate a project from Visual C++ 6.0 to VC++.Net

  Please Give some guideline to migrate a project developed using C++, ATL/COM, WTL in Visual studio 6.0 environment to VC++ .Net in Visual Studio 2005 environment. It's not a complicated task at all. Open the project in VC++ 2005, follow the upgrade wizard instructions, and do a rebuild-all. Since the newer compiler is more standards compliant, you need to expect a bunch of warnings and errors, that you'd then need to fix. Also remember that the CRT functions like strcpy are now deprecated in favor of the secure CRT functions. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro SELECT statement is showing unwanted display of data and is not passing data to a table.

  I'm using a SELECT statement to pull out data from a table... that is working great. What I'm trying to do is feed the selected data to a different table using REPLACE so that it can be used by a report. All of this is triggered from a command button on a form.
