• Visual FoxPro Can't rebuild project after moving from VFP7 to VFP9

  I have several large projects that I developed in VFP7 under Windows 2000 server. I have copied them entire to a new server and I'm trying to convert them to VFP9 to run under SQL 2005. When I open the projects in VFP9 and try to rebuild them I get an error that the project's memo file is missing or invalid. The same projects rebuild under VFP 7 just fine. Does anyone know a workaround or am I going to have to rebuild the entire projects under VFP9 Thanks, Chandler I think this can be changed from Control panel>System>harware>hdd driver properties but I don't trust in solutions who are modifying hardware to match the software. In you case I will try to access all tables and database ...Show All

• .NET Development Delegate Keep alive

  Hi, I have a problem with using delegates with pinvoke. I have a delegate for a reporting function that is required for the lifetime of the application. The callback works for the first time and after that if the dll reports any error I get an access violation exception. This is because the delegates gets collected. Any suggestions on how to avoid this error Thanks! The function pointer is correctly wrapped up as a delegate. The function pointer is set when the application begins and a callback is made peridocially. The callback function(at the managed side) executes and performs the tasks as desired, but the exception happens when the function that made the callback returns. Some managed sid ...Show All

• SQL Server USB had disk

  Dear all, I am running SQL server 2005 on MSCS. Does anyone has experience to take online backup on USB disk. What will be the performance How the USB hard disk can be added to cluster group as a resource. Thanks Imran Hasware It will be very slow if you perform a direct backup to USB disk, as you wouldn't get that speed (USB 2.0) that is compared to do a local disk. It is better to perform to disk and then copy to USB disk to avoid such performance degrade during the backup operation. ...Show All

• Visual C# How to overload left shift (<<) operator in c#

  It's quite easy to overload left shift operator in c++. I search all around web but could not find any suitable solution. I would like to overload << operator in c#. Something like this. public static void operator << (String Value) { Console.WriteLine(Value); } So, when calling from object of any class MyObject << "Hello World"; should print Hello World in console. Is that possible Hi, in C# the << binary operator can be overloaded but expects to take an int as one of its parameters, not a string. IF you try to put the second parameter as a string you will see the following compiler error: "Overloaded shift operator must have the type of the first operand be the contain ...Show All

• SQL Server Duplicate report execution

  I have a report that is scheduled to run at 3 am in the morning. The problem is that the report has started executing twice. Once at 3 am and again at 3:23 am. I also noticed this on another report. The one thing that seems to be consistent is the 23 minute difference between the two executions. Both snapshots of the executions appears to be complete. I am unable find an answer or any type of configuration setting that would indicate that this report would timeout in 23 minutes. Has anyone else encountered this issue Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Visual C# Weird problem writing to custom Eventlog -- stuff shows up in wrong log

  I have a weird problem writing to a custom event log. My app, a windows service, writes to a custom event log, "WireTransfers" and had been doing so without incident for a long time. Following a reboot of the server, the events suddently started appearing in the Application event log instead of in my custom event log. This first happened on our dev server, then some time later on our UAT server, then some time after that on our Prod server. It still works correctly on our DR server but I'm sure that at some reboot it will switch over. Note, btw, that I have all the correct permissions on the registry entry for event logging I actually don't think this is a language issue, but the "Where is the forum for my problem&q ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Rule Engine - Stands alone?

  Hello, I was wondering is it possible to use the rule engine as a stand-alone piece of infrastructure Or do I have to use it only in the context of a workflow. Are there any existing examples where there rule engine is used on its own, and not as part of a workflow. Thanks Houman Hi VSTO for Office 12 is not available yet, so you cannot run that sample unfortunately on Vista. To answer your original question - yes rules can be used outside of workflows. Basically rules will operate on a target type. When running inside a workflow, that target type is the root workflow object; but it can infact be any .Net type.

You can also do it in Form_load event (or other proper place you'd like which meet your needs): this .WindowState = FormWindowState .Maximized; "this" refer to the instance of the form.
