• Visual FoxPro =SYS(1037) on VFP90 no longer allows printer changes

  Can anyone tell me how to work around the changes in SYS(1037)   I used to call this with =SYS(1037) before printing in a batch (checks and invoices) and it no longer allows my customers to change the printer in VFP90 (no 'apply' button).  The 'prompt' option in REPORT FORM works just perfect too, but I don't want to call it in a loop (too repetative.)  Any ideas Thanks The problem was solved by removing ALL references to th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help initializing Database

  Hello all,   As a Programming Beginner, I see things with childlike eyes. Unfortunately, it also means I get frustrated very easily.  I have been working on a RSS Reader (from the VB Express video series.), and while the comboboxes and listboxes make good sense, I kind of thought that it would look more professional with a Tree View schema.  That is where I am having difficulty. When the mainform loads, I would like ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower. The Application does a great deal of floating point and integer calculations.  It also converts doubles to int quite a bit (the VC2003 version used SSE to handle this). The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch ...Show All

• Visual C# how to use properties/IDE to link events to handlers?

  I'm sure it's just a case of me being dense....  I'm comfortable with Visual Studio and C++ and generated code, event/message mapping to methods, etc. I can't seem to do it with C# (I'm a C# newbie).  If I bring up the designer window, and double click on a ListBox form, the IDE will generate code for the SelectedItemChanged message/method. What I want is to hook up the DoubleClick event/method.  I tried doing it manually (with ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows Form performance

  Hi. I realise that this post may be a bit general, but Im really after some hints/tips as to where to start. We recently took ownership of a .net 1.1 windows forms application. I have about a years experience with .net and about 6/7 with java awt/swing. This front end application was developed by another team and in my opinion, is very poorly coded. It is a direct replacement to a java awt gui and it makes exactly the same backend calls (through ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing AssemblyInfoTask properties for a single csproj?

  I'd like to be able to fix the AssemblyVersion differently for different projects on my dev-machine. Let's say I have ApplicationA with version 1.0.0.0 and ApplicationB with version 1.3.0.0. To get this to work I assume that I could use a PropertyGroup in the csproj file for these two applications (as they reside in different solutions). So basically I'd like to add the following to the csproj file for ApplicationB: <PropertyGroup&g ...Show All
