• Visual FoxPro Tools Option question

  There is an option in Tools=>Options=>General=Data Entry It says: " Fill New Records with Current Values ." It is a checkbox. Mine was not checked when I paid attention to it. So I decided to check it. Could anybody provide an explanation: What kind of Current Values is it talking about Why is this checkbox necessary Why is it here What kind of sense does it make Thanks. It is a legacy from the old XBASE days. It specifies that VFP automatically copies values from the current record to a new record when you are inserting or appending. It is the same as the SET CARRY command (check it in Help). Nobody I know ever ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Weird Trigger Issues

  Hi,   I've created a new control by inheriting from the Viewport3D class everything works fine and i can use the control from xaml but I cant add a <MyNamespace:MyClass.Triggers></MyNamespace:MyClass.Triggers> tag into the xaml. I know triggers work because I can add them from code but in XAML it just rejects the tag name as invalid.  Any ideas I can keep working on the program since it works from code but I'd rather do it the clean way. Thanks, Lucas   Are the errors your seeing "design time" issues (VS complaining about the tag name/intellisense ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Cannot 'USE' two tables in VFP90 - XP ONLY?

  I am using a stand-alone exe in VFP90 and I am trying to create a new form with the following in the init: SELECT 0 USE 'accntdb' ALIAS 'accntdb' SELECT 0 USE 'presetdb' ALIAS 'presetdb' I am compiling with VFP90 S/P 1.  Now, this will open both tables when run on Win2K just fine, but when run on XP (latest s/p) only the data in the 'presetdb' table is visible in the browser.  The alias is still recognized, but there is no data for 'accntdb'. I have used this method to open tables for 10 years and have never had this problem before.  Any suggestions       Sorry, none. I do n ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro importing VFP files into ACCESS 2003

  Hello I apologise if this in the wrong forum. I am having the following error when linking to a vfp file in access 2003 The decimal field's precision is too small to accept the numeric you attempted to add Is this something that I need to adjust on the VFP side or the Access side I have the newest jet driver 9 actually ( 3.5 and 4.0 ) I can say at least it's not on VFP side (VFP's corresponding message is somewhat different).

• .NET Development FileSystemWatcher Created Event Not Firing

  One of our customers has a service that posts files to our FTP server at various times during the day.  Rather than poll the folder for files every hour I figured the FileSystemWatcher class was perfect with the Created event.  Where it falls apart is they issue a put command to create the file and my service doesn't get the event fire.  If I log in locally and move the file to another folder then back into the original folder it parses the file and executes as expected. Does anyone know why the FTP server creating the file doesn't trigger the event the same way that Windows Explorer does I am running on Windows Server 2 ...Show All

• SQL Server MSSQL service restart on principal whilst mirroring...

  I have a problem that has happened a couple of times now. I'm in the process of testing our 2005 deployment - Standard edition on 2003 x64 servers for principal and mirror and 2005 express witness. All are pre SP1. Two databases are being mirrored. I have successfully set up mirroring which seems to work fine - but when I restart the MSSQL service on the principal, spurious things happen: The server that *was* the principal before restart database A is in (Mirror, Disconnected / In Recovery) state database B is in (In Recovery) The server that *was* the mirror: database A is in (Principal, Disconnected) database B ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Reporting Site

  How do I change the TFS reporting site root Our company has a rule that no user can be a content manager of the reporting services root site itself. Permissions should be distributed through the folders hierarchy (yeah, I do believe that this makes a lot of sense!). I’ve looked through the TFS documentation but couldn’t find how to configure this. Is it possible   p.s.: I'm using B3R.   Regards, Max Andrade Hi Max, You'll need to configure the roles through Reporting Services.  Anyone who is creating projects needs to be a Content Manager at the reporting services root s ...Show All

• SQL Server How to quickly evaluate SSIS, programmer perspective

  SSIS looks interesting .  I haven't loaded any Yukon or read the 2005 BOL, so I'm coming in with a clean slate. In the past I have found the graphical programming interface for DTS, limiting, annoying and unnatural.  I much prefer coding in an OO language the conventional way. I'm interested in evaluating SSIS as quickly as I can.  The ideal is programming with a standard .NET language.  I am happy if a design surface gives me a start but I expect to go into the code it writes and continue with a standard code editor. What is the best reference to get a idea whether this is sensible to d ...Show All

• .NET Development Loading UserControl from code without @reference

  Hi, I would like to use LoadControl (in ASP.NET 2.0) to load a user control as described in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/c0az2h86(en-us,vs.80).aspx , without using the @Reference-directive. Is that possible and how This is because I'm working on a generic framework with a class that describes the flow, loads the usercontrols and sets their properties. So I don't want to use @reference-directives in my aspx-files. Please help! I'm stuck here!!
