• Visual FoxPro Need to run "BUILD EXE" command in an EXE file

  Hi All, We have about 100 projects. Time to time we need to recreate the individual EXE files for all projects.

• SQL Server SQL Server Operations Guide - Q. for Dave Wickert

  Hi Dave, You produced a really cool SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services Operations Guide some time back which i, as a DBA, found very useful. Do you have any plans to update the document for SQL Server 2005 If so, when will it be available   I'm looking to get my hands on it (or a draft copy) as soon as possible if that's feasible. Many thanks, Kyle. Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately there are no plans at this time to update the white paper for AS2K5. I certainly do hope that will change. However, there is lots of cool AS stuff out there. My team's latest work has been on Project ...Show All

• .NET Development ShowModalDialog - Select Text

  Is there anyway to select text within a Modal Dialog Box Thanks, Tim I've been searching for an answer to this as well, and the only way that I'm aware of is to put the text in a textbox/textarea and optionally remove the borders of the control. Marking the textbox as "readonly" will cause the text to NOT be selectable though, so users will be able to modify the text in the box. Also, if it's an option, consider using the ModalPopup control from the ASP.Net Control Toolkit ( http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/ ). Cheers! ...Show All

• Visual Basic ? difference between: Me, MyBase and Parent

  I don t know what the difference is between these three items: me, Mybase, parent When do we use each of them. Also is the quivalent of this in C#: Me or MyBase Gracias Amigos:) Me is a reference to the current object. Often optional to use, but helps clarify your code when accessing methods and properties with objects with similar names. MyBase is a reference to the base object: the current object may have inherited from a base object. Used when you explicitly want to access a property or method of the base class. Parent is the 'owner' or container of a control or form (Graphical controls) and is not relevant to a ...Show All

• SQL Server Unpublishing an article

  Hi: If I want to unpublish an article thru Enterprise Manager, it does not allow me to uncheck it at publication properties.

• Visual Studio Team System Procedure for using Build Server with Multiple Branches

  I have question in regards to properly using the Build Server with multiple branches of an application.  As an example lets say I have a simple solution (called TEST) with a web 'project' and a class library.  When I first setup my build type, I set it up to build the TEST solution.  I run the build and it creates build number: 20051008.1.    I then "Branch" my solution in Version Control to keep a build history.  So I create Branch20051008.1 in Version Control. So now I have 2 branches - the main line - TEST solution, and the branched build version Branch20051008.1.  Through testing a couple days ...Show All
