• Smart Device Development VS 2005 Standard Edition Can't connect to Mobile 5.0 device

  Every time I try to connect to my PDA ( Dell Axim x51 with Mobile 5.0 ) through VS 2005 it fails. It says "Connection Failed. Can't connect to network.

• Visual FoxPro EOF() for a low level file function

  Hi there, I just ran into a problem with this code. What I want to do is to open a TEXT or binary data file and read it as a *binary* file byte by byte. What I found to my surprise was that the VFP EOF() function presumes that the file that's been opened is a TABLE! How do you go about reading bytes from a data file I am getting an error message that the alias is not found.. filename1 = "C:\Program Files\tcp_ip.txt" filehandle1 = FOPEN (filename1,0) IF filehandle1 != 1    DO WHILE NOT EOF (filename1)      FREAD (filehandle1,1)    ENDDO ENDIF Thanks.

• Visual Basic How to show all decimal places?

  When the number is large it is displayed in a short form i.e. 1 / 10,000,000,000 is 1e-10. Is there a way to show all the decimal places i.e. 1 / 10,000,000,000 is 0.0000000001.

• Visual Studio It is possible to write my own source control plugin?

  I am just wondering if it is possible to write my own source control plugin for VS. For example, It would be very nice if we have a source control plugin that bridges VS and the popular CVS or Subversion. Are the source control plugin interfaces open to developers Be sure to let us all know when you're done - we'd love to try it out. There are already a few available, by the way, but (with the exception of the commercial version, which I haven't tried), all of them are pretty poor.

• Windows Forms UpdateAsync() hanging

  In using the example code from MSDN for programmatic update, my code gets to the async call, but fires no events. I changed the async code for checking for an update to synchronous code and it works fine. But then the call to UpdateAsync() fires no events and downloads no bits, even though it knows that there is a new version. The synchronous Update() function works fine, though. Naturally, I want async so that I can get the progress notifications and give my user a progress update during the download. Some code...
