Is it possible to control the letter spacing in a winform I.e. I would like a label to always use Arial 10px, but with a fraction more letter spacing than default.

SQL Server format print range when converted to Excel?
I have a report that the user can print right from the RS site on three pages (each page one page wide). However, when I have the server email the report as an attachment in Excel; Excel tries to print it on four pages with one of the pages spilling over into the fourth page. How can I get Excel to format the print version just as I have on the RS site I have had the same problem. It almost seems that anything that I export to excel looks like it grows when it is printed in excel. I posted a question referring to that and never got an answer. ...Show All

Visual FoxPro Translate visual foxpro suorce code in php language
I see a nice application vfp 9.0, but how i can translate the source code in php language mdinu, That would wholly depend on the VFP application's source code and whether there are equivalents for everything in PHP. If you are looking for some kind of automated converter for VFP -> PHP, I'm afraid there isn't one. However, if there is something specific that the VFP application is doing and you are of the mind to post some of the code here (as long as it isn't too long), some advice or conversion tips might be available. ...Show All
Visual C# Speeding up the TcpClient method
I am working on a set of programs that communicate over a stand alone network. I have 1 client and 10 servers. The client trys to connect to the servers when the program starts. The client uses return new TcpClient(StudentIP, port); to try to connect to the servers. StudentIP is a String that is "192.168.0.101" , port is an integer equal to 60000. The TcpClient hangs(blocks ) over 1 minute when trying to connect to a server that is not running. It does connect to a server that is running. When I try IPEndPoint ipLocalEndPoint = new IPEndPoint ( IPAddress .Parse(StudentIP),port); temp = new TcpCli ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Systems Designer does not update web.config
AD successfully updates the Impersonate setting in web.config, whereas Systems Designer does not. Am I missing something I can override the Impersonate setting, whereas I set the password and UserName as not-overridable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Hi Jean-Pierre, In Application Designer, only one project is generated for each implemented application definition in the solution; therefore, there is only one configuration file. When you design a system in System Designer, you can include multiple uses of that definition and override settings that you designated as overridable. After you define system ...Show All
SQL Server SSIS package doesn't execute as a job step
I have this SSIS package which just doesn't seem to run when executing as a sql job and I keep getting this error: " The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed.

In this package one of the variables that I am trying to set is the connection string and my command line looks like this dtexec /SQL "\TestPkg" /SERVER [SVRNAME ...Show All
