• Visual FoxPro Weird Behavior: VFP 9 and Modal Forms

  I'm posting here wondering if anyone has seen this behavior before. It only seems (at least to me) to have started in VFP 9. I have a form open that shows a list of items (in a grid). I bring up another data entry form on top of it. This form is modal. Within this form, another form appears when the user clicks Edit - but when the Edit form disappears, the focus goes back to the original form (with the grid), even though the data entry form is still visible. The user can't click in the Data Entry form but then they also can't close the form in the background. Anyone ever seen anything like that before Andrew MacNeill wrote: I have a form open that shows a list of items (in a grid). I bring up another data entry form on top o ...Show All

• Visual Basic About x64 question

  Hi, I am interesting about the VB 2005 pro can compile the exe or dll to x64 format file. Is it can deliver the file to fully real x64 file Because I read the previous post say that the IDE is 32bits. Is it true Can debug x64 file And, can it create the exe or dll file to x64 format using 32bits window. Thanks! Unless you have 32bit native dependencies, you probably want to keep your target as AnyCPU. This will allow the application will run as a 64bit app on a 64 bit machine and 32bit on a 32bit machine. Debugging is also possible, but I believe there are some limitations (i.e. Edit & continue isn't supported on 64bit systems) Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can I handle the "Save All" button

  I have my own project type with their own editors, etc When I try to press the "Save All" button in the toolbar, or to close de Visual Studio from the control buttons, I receive the "Not enough storage available..." error. I suppose it may have to do with some memory problem, but, I couldn't find the answer yet. However, I have a workaround. If I save the file that is being modified first, and THEN press "Save All", (or Close the File and then Close Visual Studio) it works fine. So, what I want to know is how to handle the "Save All" and the "Close Visual Studio" actions, so, I can make some work before they throw the error. Anybody knows how to hanlde this events ...Show All

• Visual C# inlining of virtual methods

  does JIT compiler support inlining of virtual methods No. At least from the last time I remember this issue being discussed. Some JIT engines do some fancy detection and will inline results for method calls on the same type with the same argument values, but that's still a bit of a tradeoff. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SQL Server Account for TFS Backups

  I'm setting up a Maintenance Plan in SQL Server and I'm planning to do this while logged in as the TFSService account. In order for this to work I first have to grant the sysadmin server role to TFSService. Is there any reason why I should not do that The reason I want to use TFSService is that I need an account with Domain rights, since I need the backup job to write the backup-files to a different server. And new domain accounts are slightly hard to come by here. Any thoughts The security would be better, of course, if TfsService runs with as few privs as possible. By granting it SQL admin, someone exploiting TFS becomes far more powerful than they are today. Security vs. usability vs. compl ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK 2019, inline functions

  I made a class in the header file class Foo { public: float area(float x, floaty); }; in the .cpp I tried #include "Foo.h" inline float Foo::area(float x, floaty) { //lot's and lot's and lot's of stuff . . return variable; } and I get... error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: float __thiscall Foo::area(float x, floaty)" If I take away the inline everything works. No, we don't want the code to be in the header. What am I doing wrong ( 2003 .NET) If you don't need an inlined function, don't add the "inline" keyword when you define it in your source file. If, however, you want the function to be considered for inlining, either: add "inline" ...Show All

  In the following snippet, I got nothing in "path": for ( int j=arrcolid.Count-1;j==0;j-- ) { path += arrcolid[j]; } But in the following snippet, path is "DogCatFox", Why for ( int j=0;j<arrcolid.Count;j++ ) { path+=arrcolid[j]; } First I thank you for your advice.

• Visual Studio Team System Moving a dual server instance to new hardware

  I'm in the middle of moving a dual server instance of tfs to a couple of test machines. We've successfully installed the tfs dual server setup to the app and data tiers, and restored the databases from the live instance to the test setup. I'm just in the final stages of the move and am hesitant to run the tfsadminutil activateat command because of the prompt i receive. It asks me to make sure the old app tier has stopped the tfs service before running the command. My question is this. By running the command on the new server, will it in any way affect the old instance. The reasons; I have a live instance running on 2 machines, and I want to do some testing in a staging environment, so I need to live instance to be available after I do th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modeless/non-modal file dialog

  In the application I'm working on we are using a modeless file dialog. This is realized by hosting the CFileDialog instance in a separate thread. The parent window of the file dialog is the app's frame window. This ensures that the file dialog does not create an entry in the Windows taskbar and the file dialog is always on top of the app window. This worked fine with previous Windows versions (NT, W2K, XP). With Vista we observe a strange behavior. Assume the modeless file dialog is running and it contains a custom button from where we can launch another modeless dialog (its parent is also set to the main frame window). This second dialog immediately disappears behind the app window (!) as soon as it is displayed. Picking into the app wind ...Show All

• Visual Studio debugger will not step through code, only metadata

  HI. When I try and step through my code (an app that contains 8 diff projects), and call a function in a referenced dll, sometimes it steps right into the dll, and sometimes it steps into a "[from metadata]" file...Of course, the metadata file does not provide the actual functions/routines, only stubs... what the heck is going on When this happens, VS 2005 gets mysteriously slow at the same time...for instance, when I click F9 to add a breakpoint, it takes five seconds for that to happen. very frustrating! any ideas thanks, Steve Sounds like the source code no longer matches the debugging information.
