There is no bulk cut and paste facility. A POSSIBLE SOLUTION is to use the ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition - 'corrupted' downloaded SETUP.exe

  On running SETUP.exe I always get the following error: "The contents of this file can not be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted.

I have attempted 4 downloads of the 'X86 Executable'. I have compared these 4 images - the downloaded images are binary-content-wise the same (using comp).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is Visual Basic 2005 Express interpreted or compiled?

  I have looked through a lot of literature, but it seems difficult to find a clear answer to this question. I can see that VB generates P-code, which is interpreted and therefore executes much slower than compiled languages, but some literature indicate that it may be possible to compile the P-code and generate a fast executing program. C is a terrible language so I am looking for a good, strong alternative, but in practice it seems that there are only two alternatives - Delphi (Pascal) and VB. Delphi is based on Turbo Pascal, which is en extremely slow implementation of Pascal - approximately 5 to 10 times slower than FreePascal. Be ...Show All

• Windows Forms Formatting data in text box that is bound using the properties screen

  I would like to know how to format data in a bound textbox that is bound by using the Data Binding properties in the design mode. Data is typically bound to a field in a dataset but doesn't necessarily exhibit the characteristics of the data, i.e. the date always displays as a long date/time even though the database field is formatted for a short date or currency displays as a float instead of with a currency symbol. I've read the previous posts about using the event handlers to do this, but I'm confused as to where this would go when the code is being generated by the form designer. The following is sample code from the form designe ...Show All
