• Visual Basic Christmas quizz, local network Server machine name

  All of my users are not that knowledgeable. Some don't even know how to enter the network path to a shared R/O network folder on the PC Server. All machines are running Windows XP SP2. So I would very much like to help them setting up a Client with this path. I know the IP address of the Server on this local network, but how obtain the machine name using VB 2005 After several hours I still do not know how the VB code should be. Looking up Hel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Target reuse

  I'm trying to learn msbuild and it looks like it will be a good replacement for the system we currently use, but I can't figure out how to do the following: < Project xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 " > < Target Name = " steps " > < Exec Command = " nmake.exe /NOLOGO $(Target.Parent.Name) " WorkingDirectory = " .\src\dir1 " /> < Exec Command = " nmake.exe /NOLOGO $(Target.Parent.Nam ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server reporting services

  Can the report grouping be changed or chosen by using parameters Thank you for your help. You can reference a parameter value from the group expression. You can't turn off a grouping, but you can change the group expression to return a constant value, which effectively, would disable the grouping. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Upgrading an application from 2003 to 2005

  Hey guys, I just upgraded one of my applications from 2003 to 2005, and managed to do it quite easily, except for one Routine. I had the following Sub in .NET 2003 that I used to populate a DataGrid. But now, with 2005, I am getting 5 errors (marked in red) saying that 'TableStyles' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView'.......... what must I use instead Public Sub FillDataGrid(ByVal GridSQL As String, ByVal frmDataGrid As DataG ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Express downloading errors

  Hi everyone, I'm having trouble here. I downloaded the 2.5MB Express setup and ran it. Downloading paused once so I cancelled but didn't quit which got it going again. 3 of the 4 were ticked, but MySQL didn't tick even when it got to the 294MB. Then I cancelled thinking the others were installed but not MySQL. No such luck. Nothing! How do I download these files properly Is there any direct links to get them with I prefer not to have to downlo ...Show All

• SQL Server Random Failure of Lookup in Pre-Execute with 0x8007000E

  I have a SSIS package that I can run three times in a row and various lookup components will return: Error: 0xC004701A at Foo, DTS.Pipeline: component "Lookup Date" (166) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x8007000E.

• Visual FoxPro Dot Net Examples with VFP

  I am seriously thinking about starting to use some of the dot net features within VFP.  Where would be a good place to start with some maybe code examples of how to call dot net functions... or how this can be worked..  (beyond data access and web services)   I am more interested in desktop applications at this point. But any pointers would be helpful..  Thanks so much .  Bob Lee    ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• Visual C# Determining which Process has exited

  Hi all, I have had a quick search through the posts, but can't seem to find an answer to my question, which is.... I have a Service that manages 'n' instances of processes on a machine. The Service needs to be able to determine when a process exits because unless it has shut it down this is an error and needs reporting so that something can be done about it. As such I have a collection of Process which I have started for each I allow them to rai ...Show All

• Windows Forms Passing Variables Between Forms

  This is probably a silly question to ask here, but I need to be able to pass variables between forms. What I mean is, for example, you open a form that asks for a URL and after you hit the OK button, the function that called it can use the URL. I can use a global variable to accomplish this, but I'm sure there must be a way to do it more elegantly. I know how to do this sort of thing in MFC, but I'm fairly new to .NET programming in VC++ 2005 ...Show All
