• Visual C# Decimal data type

  Hi All, I just discovered that I cannot use + with a decimal. So I have a formula, ((decimalValue * -1) + 15.687 )* 2048; Which does not compile, error being, Operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type decimal and double. Any suggestions on how to get the correct result from the above formula Thanks Jeff Hi, Skip the above question. I just change data type to a double and that worked for what I needed. Thanks Jeff ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro System resolution

  Hi. How can I find out what the system resolution is, and how can I change it via FoxPro Thanks If the form is too short, the correct solution is to group your sets of controls in some logical way and place them in different pages on a PageFrame control. If the process of filling the form is formalized in a set of steps (e.g. step #2 must be done after step #1 and not jump to it directly), then you could use a wizard which is nothing more than a PageFrame with no page tabs showing and you control the page change programmatically. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista Ultimate installation problems

  I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my laptop. I have a Toshiba Satellite Intel Centrino with dual processor and 1G of ram. So nothing Vista should have too many problems with. What is my computer still level I have owned about 7 computers in my life. I can do pretty much everything but programming. I'm not a computer nerd, but I'm smarter than any of my friends when it comes to computers. I'm not trying to be technical here, only speaking in layman's language. The upgrade took about 2 hours. I installed it on top of Windows XP so I could keep all my files and settings. Everything seemed to go smooth. I did the Advisor before hand and deleted the programs that Vista said were not compatible. The advisor had no big issues. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Variations and CurrentUICulture problem (MOSS 2007)

  Hello, We use variations in order to support multiple languages in a site. We have en-US and nl-NL variations. Then we have page layouts with couple of <asp:Localize /> tags where we want to show texts loaded from resource files. We also have two resource files - MyRes.resx and MyRes.nl-NL.resx. When we are in nl-NL variation I see that <asp:Localize /> do not load correct resources for nl-NL, but instead use the default ones (from MyRes.resx). When I check Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, it returns nl-NL. On the other hand, Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture returns en-US, which is not quite correct. I use MOSS 2007 RTM with no language packs installed. So, my question is - is it normal to have CurrentCulture different ...Show All

• .NET Development Error in HttpWebRequest when using authentication in proxy environment

  Hi, I'm experiencing problems when doing webrequests that requires authentication with the HttpWebRequest component in an environment with a cache proxy (squid). The HttpWebRequest is configured with credentials before the request is sent and keep-alive is enabled. What happens is that the webserver responds with a 401 with Content-Length 236 to the first request (the one with no authorization headers). The HttpWebRequest component sends out a new request with the authorization headers before the IP packet with the content of the 401 is received. The content of the 401 is therefore tried parsed as the header of the response to the authenticated request. This causes a protocol violation and a webexception is thrown.

• Visual C# database project

  Hello, [I posted this to VS general, but it was deleted] I want to ask, whether is possible (planned) to disable new table wizard when added new query to database project. I work with database with alot (~3000) tables and this wizard is very slow. Moreover I exactly know what query I want, don't need for any wizard. Thanks in advance, Martin AFAIK it can not be disabled. There is only one option in VS2008 for disabling such a dialog but it doesn't apply to queries. There also doesn't seem to be any options to limit how long you'll wait for table enumeration to occur. However if you already know the query that you want to generate then you don't need to use the Add Query anyway. Instead select Add SQL Script and th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Setup Unicode

  I have data feeds from multiple geographic locations including Switzerland, Germany and US. I would like to store the data in SQL Server 2005 but am confused whether I should store data in columns of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, NTEXT. If I choose Unicode data types, should I also setup a different collation setting for SQL Server. Our Windows default langauge is US English. Thanks The only way to store unicode data is in nchar, nvarchar(max). -(Do not use ntext -ntext is on the 'official' deprecation list.) Collation effects sorting. You can set different collations at the column level where necessary. ...Show All
