• Visual Basic program not responding when debugging

        I am new at VB 2003 and i run it on my computer. Recently i got myself a laptop  and installed VB2003 .Net on it. I copied the projects to the laptop, but when i try to run them by clicking on the start button (next to debug) The program does not respond anymore. Even when i start up a new project and try to run it, it won't react. What could be wrong Thanks for your reaction. Peter When i've made a new project, i want to see if it is working.

• SQL Server datetime HOUR function format

  I am using reporting services to make a matrix. The row value is the date portion of DateIn. The value is a count of transactions. The column type is the problem. It is the hour part of the timein value. I got it from the database like this: {fn HOUR(dbo.[Transaction].[TimeIn])} AS Hour This works, but gives 24 hour time (and only the hour part, so it looks like 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, etc.) I want it to look like 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00, PM, etc. I have read several books, checked online books, tried format functions... and I'm going nuts. This should be so simple- how do I format this so a human can read it Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Future Local Report functionality

  The local report processor is a great tool to use to provide clients with reports.  I have been integrating this control into our reporting system and it has been very successful. I do have a question though.  Does anyone know yet what improvements or new features that might be added to the local report processor in future releases   The two features that I miss out on the most are the ability to export reports in HTML and being able to include custom report item processing. Ocassionally I see mention from Rajeev or Brian that "feature x" has been requested a lot and now Microsoft is looking into putting that into a futu ...Show All

  Is there a repository somewhere of white papers describing MSF 4.0 itself, as well as how Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and the various clients "plug into" this model Among other things, I have seen brief references to the MSF's "metamodel" or "structure"--for instance, on page 182 of Richard Hundhausen's book--but I cannot seem to find any details whatsoever about these online or off, and I very much would like to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Your best source for this in the short term is likely to be Sam Guckenheimer's new book, Software Eng ...Show All

  I'm two days into trying to solve issues with databinding radiobuttons and I'm really hoping someone (anyone) can help.  As a newcomer to VB, this is proving to be the most challenging issue I've come across. Hopefully it's an easy fix for the more experienced.  Here's my problem: I have two radiobuttons on a form.  One radiobutton is labeled "Yes" and the other "No".  I databound the checked property of the "Yes" radiobutton to a column (char data type) of a table in my SQL Express database.  When I click on the "Yes" radiobutton, the database is appropriately updated and the radiobutton is checked.  Howev ...Show All
