• Visual FoxPro need foxpro help

  I'm getting a System Error "Divide by Zero or Overflow Error" when I try to run FoxProw.exe on Windows 2000 .  The program installs okay, but I can't get it running.  Thanks in advance for your help ...

• .NET Development XmlSerializer or custom serialization?

  Hi! I'm currently not sure whether I should use XmlSerializer to save the properties of a class to an xml file or if should just write the file manually with XmlTextWriter. The problem hereby lies in the speed of deserialization. My program will load an undefined number of such files and create instances of the corresponding class at startup. Thus the deserialization operation should take as few time as possible, even if that means writing more code. If I have a class named Employee with the properties Name, Address, Age, and Salary I'd deserialize it with an XmlReader as follows: while (reader.Read()) {     if (reader. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint Permissions error When Creating New Team Project

  I'm having trouble adding users as TFS Administrators.  From what I understood in the documentation, a TFS Administrator needed to be added to the TFS Security Group as a TFS Admin, an Admin for Sharepoint at the top site level and a content manager for sql server reporting services.  I have done that however, I still receive the following error: Error Insufficient permissions on the Windows SharePoint Services at ekta to create a new site.

• Visual Studio Team System Getting frustrated with red "X" on documents folder

  I am at a loss as to why the Documents folder insists on displaying a red "X" in the Beta 3 Refresh. I have granted myself admin privilages but it seems to have done no good. Anyone know what would cause this I'm sorry to hear you are having problems. Several bugs have been fixed in this area in the RC, hopefully it will fix your problem. One thing to check: Open the project portal and make sure you can open all of the document libraries. If any of them cannot be opened then you will get the red x. You will need to correct this condition for the document explorer to work. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Proper way to set display of Left 200 characters in a DataGridViewColumn?

  What is the best way to set up a DataGridViewColumn so that each cell displays the Left 200 characters of the underlying value   My first thought was to make an Expression column in my source DataTable that uses the SUBSTRING method.  Then my DGVColumn would just point to this new column.  But, I am looking for a way to do this hopefully using the DefaultCellStyle of the DGVColumn itself.  Is there a way to use the cell style's Format property for this Thanks, Nate You can use the DataGridView's CellFormatting event to do this. -mark DataGridView Program Manager Microsoft T ...Show All

  I have been developing mobile applications in VS 2003 with "0" problems with the 2003 emulators. We have upgraded to VS 2005 and setup the Mobile 5.0 Emulators last December. They seamed a little buggy compared to the Mobile 2003 Emulators at first, but work great on everything except Connecting and synching via SQL Server Merge/Pub via IIS.
