• Visual Basic Copying data from one listbox to another

  Does anyone have idea the best way to copy the data that is in one listbox to another one Hi there, Well the .Items property of a list box is read-only so you can't do something like: ListBox2.Items = ListBox1.Items Whenever I have to do this a loop seems the easiest way: Dim iter As Integer For iter = 0 To (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) ListBox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.Items.Item(iter)) Next I'm sure one of th ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on same box as SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition

  I tried to install this on the same box and I'm not sure how to reply to setup questions since I want to keep my SQL Server 2000 intact. During the installation it asks me if I want to upgrade the "SQL Server Database Services 8.00.761" and if I don't select it to upgrade then it tells me that SQL Server Database Services will not be changed.

• Visual C++ A simple CPP source file change caused entire solution to relink

  My group is new to VS05 and previously used VS 6.0. Several people in our group have had an ongoing battle with the compiler. It seems that when you make a simple change to a CPP source file that it will cause the entire solution to have to relink. We do have dependencies set between several projects within the solution, but if I am not changing a common header file or a method signature then I would not expect all of the project to need to be r ...Show All

  Hello - We have a program hosted by the Console that consists of two workflows.

For testing navigation we're using the SendKeys class to send a Tab key press to the form from the unit test. This works fine when you run this test method independently. However, when I run my ent ...Show All
