You need to read about P/Invoke (Platform Invoke) in MSDN and use DllImportAttribute class. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Need help adding a new auto increment integer field to a table

  Hi     I have a table that I want to add a auto increment integer field. I go into the database designer, Right click on the table I want to add the field to then select modify. Then I insert a field and give it the name client_id set the type to Integer (autoinc) it defaults to a width of 4. Then I tell it to index it accending.    This works but on all the existing records it sets the field to 0. If I add a new record it does increment.

• SQL Server Problems Setting DTS Global Variables after Rebuild

  We have performed a dummy Disaster Recovery rebuild of our Windows 2000 Advanced Server(SP2) and SQL2000 database so that we all knew what to do in the event of the failure.  Everything seems to have worked OK apart from one DTS Upload task. The system uses 3 DTS packages to perform data uploads, but only one fails These are all launched from VB executables which load the relevant DTS package and then executes them. It seems that the global variables assigned in the VB executable are not being picked up or actioned within the DTS scripts. Instead the default values that are stored within the DTS package are used instead.  I ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO deployment – light solution.

  Here is a good question to get people thinking Is there an easy way of deploying a VSTO solution without having to install all the prerequisites (just the min comp. and spend 10 min max per pc  ) Imagine the solution needs to be exported to 100 users – it takes time to install all the prerequisites and Office components. So there has to be a way of getting a VSTO solution to run without spending a lot of time at installing all the prerequisites and spending a fortune at getting licenses for Office.

• Visual Basic ADO.net DataAccess time SLOW

  Unless I am doing something very wrong, it seems that the ADO.net dataaccess time,IE retrieving a record is extremly slow compared to Classic ADO. Now it takes between 1 and 2 seconds to retrieve the data from the Remote database (Access). Because of needing update data when I select a serial number, I presume and currently use direct access to the remote database. I load a combobox with all my serial Numbers, Currently 15,000 . Then when I click on a SN, the program does a query on the ADO.net dataadapter, retrieves the current record. this take almost 2 seconds. Classic was almost instantly. Am I doing something wrong.
