• Visual FoxPro unsorted records in grid control

  I just noticed it yesterday after working with grids for about two months. Until yesterday, I realized, all tables or aliases I connected to grids were presorted meaning that their record NATUAL order was always alphabethical. It is a different situation for me now. It turns out when I SET ORDER TO TAG <tagname> before I connect a table to a grid's .recordSource, the records appear in a nuatual, unsorted order nonetheless. If I use this statement after the connection, there is no effect either but this is expected. Is it something I am missing or it is the way it is supposed to be There is no way to set a "sorted" pr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Importing class from dll

  Hi My problem is that I cannot import a class from a dll without an import library. Thank You, Attila. I removed WINAPI, and now it works. typedef int (* _writeSerialPort)(int numberOfBytesToWrite, char* data, unsigned long *bytes_sent); but there is still one problem: Untill now, the program worked, only the debugger stopped it with that error message. So it sad it wrote 1 byte to the serial port, or it wrote there is no serial port. Now it says it writes 1 byte, although there is NO SERIAL PORT on this computer. Any ideas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug FDBK40119 and the Express edition

  The bug with id FDBK40119 is more or less a blocker for delivering C++ programs built with Visual 2005 ( any edition ), at least these programs utilising iostream. The workaround posted in the bug report ( rebuild msvcp80.dll )  assumes library source code availability.  This source is not  included in the Express edition, so the workaround can't be applied. Wouldn't  it be reasonable if Microsoft makes this source code available even to the Express edition users Or does anybody know some other way to deal with this issue Please add your comments to the bug so that the owners can take a look. Also, I will forward ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro cannot generate an exec file

  I just finished a large project and tried to generate an .exe file from it. I encountered the following problems. BUILD EXE FROM ..... issued from the Command Window gives me a series of errors. The first one is entirely unexpected. It claims that a file "inpARR" could not be found. When I click on "locate' it offers me a file dialog box to find it. I definitely do not have any reference to a file by this name anywhere in my project. There are a few places where an array "inpARR" is used. There is no line number or procedure to locate the source of this error and it is a pretty daunting task. I combed the whole pr ...Show All

• SQL Server Is assembly code replaceable?

  I'm watching a webcast on CLR functions/procs and have a question: If I create an assembly for my database using some .dll, is that .dll now locked by SQL Server I'm concerned of a situation where developer says the assembly code is bad. Developer presents new version of .dll . - Will I get "Access denied, file is in use" when I try to replace the .dll Even if the assembly is used in a derived table column Thanks. The file is not present on the file system. The assemblies is loaded into the database so it has to be placed here. The only thing that could possible cause problems is that ...Show All
