• Visual FoxPro Timer Control not kicking in

  Hi All, We have a small VFP 8.0 synchonization utility that picks data from a VFP 8.0 database , converts it into XML  and sends it over the net to an Oracle database . It has a timer control on it which makes sure that this utility sends the data from VFP 8.0 to Oracle every 45 mins. It has always worked on all the setups till now, except one. We have not been able to figure why it does not work on that one. Any hints or directions to think in Regds, BABS BABS, Do you have error diagnostic code in place Do you have any logs that indicate each time it runs Do you launch the exe and it just runs forever with the timer firing off e ...Show All

• Visual C# Aborting and Managing Threads: The Dog or the Cat?

  Newbie here .... thanks in advance for your patience. I'm working w/ C# Visual Studio 2005 I've read up on all the comments about problems w/ aborting and suspending/resuming threads.  Lots of things to consider.  Looks kinda ugly on all fronts.  Note that I'm not thinking of using suspend and resume to synchronize threads.  I would like to just pause and then restart a particular thread from where it left off.  Worst case is to abort the thread. I'm not using a ThreadPool.  This is because some of my operations may take a long time (long running database access routines), may require different prioriti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get and process the response to a request

  Hi, Thanks for the reply to my earlier question. Looking at the generate code option gave me a pretty good idea of how a request should be made. I have some more questions, however. Please bear with me with they sound trivial. 1. I would also like to be able to see the response sent by the server in reply to my request. And get some information from the response such as status codes etc. From the API, I know I can get certain information from the response. But what I don't know to do is how to get to the response, and how to parse it, when I make a request to a web server 2. If 'request2' is a request I send to the server, is 'yiel ...Show All
