• Windows Forms Help, Published Application Ref Becomes a Dead Link...

  I'm not sure why this is happening, but speratically the shortcuts to applications that I have published using VB 2005 lose the reference to the exe files. This is very annoying because it causes the user to have to reinstall the application over and over again. Also, with each reinstall a new application folder is created in the C:\...\local settings\apps\2.0\ folder thus wasting disk space. Any information would be most helpful. ...Show All

• SQL Server Transferring SQL Server environment completely to a new server

  We had a raid controller go belly up on one of our SQL Server boxes. The emergency fix performed by our LAN team was to pull the drives and pop them into a temporary server. This worked, but I now need to transfer that entire SQL environment to a newer, more capable server. The required outcome is to end up with the server environment reproduced on the new server with the new server having the same name as the old (name of the old server will, o ...Show All

• Visual C++ Draft: How to rebuild the 8.0 CRT Library for use on NT 4.0 SP6

  DRAFT 0.2 - comments welcome  HOW TO REBUILD THE 8.0 CRT LIBRARY FOR USE ON NT 4.0 SP6 The shipping 8.0 C Runtime Library DLL (MSVCR80.DLL) does not support NT 4.0 SP6 for one reason and one reason only: someone at Microsoft added a function call to GetLongPathNameW which does not exist in kernel32.dll on NT 4.0.  You cannot delayload the CRT, therefore there's no way around it.  In order to run on NT 4.0, you must rebuild ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Defragmented Internal Memory

  Is there a tool that can be used to defragment internal memory. Not an SDCard. I have found lots of tools for that. But nothing for internal memory. Any odeas Thanks I don't think it's a memory fragmentation then. Memory fragmentation is only an issue if application was doing numerous allocations and deallocations. As soon as device resets, fragmentation is gone and you can start all over. I've no good answer ...Show All

  I lost my code for some reason. I tried to rebuild the application from scratch but for some reason the tray icon only updates when the mouse is over it. Something that did not happen in the original when it constantly updated. I still have the original files (An exe, pdb, xml, ocx and about 3 dlls). What can I do as I don't think Ill ever be able to rebuild it again. Perhaps you can use Reflector to look a ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro how can i get the current active control's name in a form?

  thank you Jet Hi Jet, if you don't don't need the name of the control inside a grid you can use code like this to get the name of the active control: IF TYPE("Thisform.ActiveControl") == "O"   lcName = Thisform.ActiveControl.Name ENDIF It's important to check the type beforehand, because the ActiveControl property doesn't exist if there's no active control. For grids this code would return the name of the grid, not the name of the ...Show All
