Any assistance will be highly appreciated. What i'm asking is how do i obtain the number that a user enters as a product key during the installation i'm thinking that it must be saved som ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error publishing tests results...

  Hi, I am trying to publish a unit test result and it gives me error: "Server was unable to process request. ---> Method failed with unexpected error code 53. " I am using TFSB3Refresh.

• Visual C++ Console::WriteLine's in a GUI

  Hey all, I have a nice gui visual studio app, and I've been using console::writeline to view output throughout my program. To be able to view this output, I open a DOS window and pipe my executable file to 'MORE'. Like this: # prog.exe | more This works ok, but 'more' only does a page at a time, so I have to keep hitting --Any Key to Continue--- Is there any other way to view console ouput (without running debug) njm137 wrote: How about getting the console to close when my program closes..

• Smart Device Development How to get contact name by number?

  Take the emulator's number for example. I save the number 4250010001 as a contact named "Self". How can i get "Self" by the number "4250010001" And how can i get "Self" by "+14250010001" How to match them You can use the function IPOutlookItemCollection::Find to find the contact by number. For example, if you gave (425) 001-0001 as the Work tel number for "Self", then you can use a filter string like [BusinessTelephoneNumber] = "(425) 001-0001" for the Find function. A code example of how to use the Find method is given in ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Error Loading File - Record Number...

  I have been struggling with this for the better part of this week. When I try and load a form it gives me this error Error loading file - Record number 41. Formset <or one of its members> Parent: Function arguement value, or count is invalid. Looking in the .SCX and the Parent coloumn, the record is an empty memo field. I have very little experience in trying to fix a problem like this and could really use some help. J.Newman Well, something's definitely wrong in record 41 of the SCX. I'd take a good look at the Properties memo, where I'll bet you have some assignment that VFP is choking on. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Open table exclusively?

  Forgive my ignorance - I've recently reinstalled XP and subsequently Foxpro 7.0. Now when i double click on a foxpro dbf file it opens the table and another datasession labeled 'B' (i'm supposing it's a datasession). Previously, when i opened a table i was in exclusive mode and didn't have this duplicate table open also. I normally work in exclusive mode because my data is not in a shared environment (i'm a vb developer). Any suggestions thanks, rroot01 I am sorry, but I have no idea. I cannot duplicate this behavior in any version of VFP (and I have Versions 6 thru 9 installed) and I have tried with EXCLU ...Show All
