• Visual FoxPro Tools Option question

  There is an option in Tools=>Options=>General=Data Entry It says: " Fill New Records with Current Values ." It is a checkbox. Mine was not checked when I paid attention to it. So I decided to check it. Could anybody provide an explanation: What kind of Current Values is it talking about Why is this checkbox necessary Why is it here What kind of sense does it make Thanks. It is a legacy from the old XBASE days. It specifies that VFP automatically copies values from the current record to a new record when you are inserting or appending. It is the same as the SET CARRY command (check it in Help). Nobody I know ever ...Show All

• Visual C# Can't get 100% code coverage

  We're attempting to achieve 100% code coverage for a project, and we're having a hard time.  On one particular class, it looks like all code is being covered, but our code coverage report says 12.5% is not being covered.  I looked at the code, and one line is showing as partially covered, and I can't figure out why.  I've included the code below.  The line " if (disposing && (components != null )) " is colored blue, and everything else is colored green.  I can't figure out why that one line would be only partially covered.  Both conditions in the "if" are true, and so both should be being evaluated.&nb ...Show All

• Visual C++ why would operator=() and operator*() conflict in ref class??

  I am  trying to access a SQLExpress database on another computer on my LAN.  Using Windows Authentication. I don't really want to go to Mixed Mode authentication as I understand it involves a registry tweak and creating a new user.

• Visual C++ Function signatures - long vs. __int64 parameter types

  I'm using the Visual Studio 2003 .NET C++ compiler to build a static library, which I am linking successfully to some other code. However, when I do the same on my home development machine, I experience some linker errors and unresolved references. Using 'dumpbin /SYMBOLS' I traced the discrepancy down to a difference in the parameter types of some function signatures. On my office environment, one of the functions in question generates the following symbol (which links just fine): 249 00000000 UNDEF  notype ()    External     | time_gmtime@FIX@@YA AUtm@@PB_J@Z (struct tm __cdecl FIX::time_gmtime ...Show All
