• Visual C# Connecting to a shared folder on another Machine

• Visual Studio Team System Issue with Load Test DB connection

  I have stumbled across an issue regarding the connection string administration to the LoadTest DB. I have read other threads re: configuring this via the Test Controller Admin dialogue and did manage to get it working briefly. For other reasons I did a un-install and re-install (without incident), but when I re-entered the dialogue to alter it again, the Load Test Results connection string configuration dialogue could not find my destination DB, which is (local). Upon quitting out of this the connection string now displays as: Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.DataConnectionDialog+BasicConnectionProperties. Clicking on the ellipses next ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro newbee - does VFP9 have a runtime engine?

  In a former life I programmed in dBase/Clipper/FoxBase and other extinct languages.  An old Clipper application from 1987 needs updating and they do not have a Clipper compiler.  My thought is to rewrite the app in Visual FoxPro 9, which I will order next week.  I need to figure out how many copies of VFP9 to purchase.  One copy for me, one at the client location...  Is there a runtime engine in VFP9 Do I need a software license for each user What do you think Thanks for your help, I certainly need it!!! Hi Steve, I can tell you this, VFP 9 is NOT the same as DBase/Clipper/FoxBase. I'm doubting you're go ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with Link Error. metadata operation failed (8013110E): Database file is corrupt and may not be usable

  I met this problem and can't figure out the reason. Its a .net windows form application. In this class, I had around 30 member functions. When I added a new member function (Its input and output are same as others), I got this link error.

Could anyone tell me the reason of it thanks Have you tried a clean and rebuild all That used to solve these sort of problems in the VC6 days. I've not seen anything like it recently tho. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Cursor where I want?

  When Button3 on Form1 is pressed, some text is displayed to RichTextBox1. Then, I use RichTextBox1.Focus() to put Focus to RichTextBox1. But, then the cursor becomes located at the beginning of RichTextBox1. I want it to be located right after where the text is displayed in RichTextBox1 after pressing Button3. A TextBox has a selectionstart property which also works to position the cursor. You could do tb.SelectionStart = tb.Text.Length IRTB has the same. ...Show All

• .NET Development OdbcDataReader and Null Values

  All,  When dealing with a recordset created through the datareader, how does one deal with null values   I have an ODBC database with plenty of them and I am wondering if there is a better way to handle this issue than coding a if (reader.isDbNull) statement for each and every one.  As a side note, I was playing around with the dataset/datatable which seems overkill for one forward only, read only row that I am trying to access but what is the correct method for pulling out a single field from the dataset   I understand there is a way to have the dataset transform the nulls the empty strings.  Maybe this is my solut ...Show All
