• Visual FoxPro how can i get the current active control's name in a form?

  thank you Jet Hi Jet, if you don't don't need the name of the control inside a grid you can use code like this to get the name of the active control: IF TYPE("Thisform.ActiveControl") == "O"   lcName = Thisform.ActiveControl.Name ENDIF It's important to check the type beforehand, because the ActiveControl property doesn't exist if there's no active control. For grids this code would return the name of the grid, not the name of the column or textbox inside the grid. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Pocket PC Web Services Error Handling..

  I am developing a web services application for Pocket PC 2003 using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET compact framework. I am testing using the Device Emulator in Vis Studio 2005.

• SQL Server How to edit a custom property on an external metadata column

  I am using external metadata columns in a destination data component to match sharepoint fields to input columns.  I want to add a flag that the user can set to specify if a column is a lookup column (indicates that the component should look for a list item with the specified input column value, and do an update if the item already exists).  I added a custom boolean property to the medata column, but the property editor does not allow me to edit the column.  It appears to be enabled, but when I choose a value other than the default, the editor immediately replaces the value I chose with the default.  How do I set ...Show All

• SQL Server DM Windows Forms Controls in November Feature Pack for SS2005

  Hello, There is a download in the Feature Pack For Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - November 2005 for the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Datamining Viewer Controls. Unfortunately I cannot find a shred of documentation for said controls. It would be nice to know what their names are, where they are installed, how you add them to your toolbox. Sample apps would be of great benefit as well (but I don't want to ask for too much). Here is the description for the controls which I find somewhat confusing. Are they Web Controls or Windows Forms Controls The Data Mining Web Controls Library is a set of Microsoft Windows Forms controls that enable sof ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Importing a form into a project

  Hello Friends, I created an application in Visual Basic with Visual Studio 2005 beta. That product is no longer alive. I want to be able to run that application in VB Express.

I can copy and paste the code into a VB Express project, but I don't see how to import the form itself. What should I do moontube Depending on which beta it was, you may be better off copying & pasting the code into a new project as there were a lot of changes between the betas and the final release code. james ...Show All
