• Visual FoxPro Printing directly to LPT port

  Hi everyone; I have 2 dot matrix printers installed on a win98 machine. I can successfully print from other machines to the printers on the win98 machine by issuing: set printer to \\win98machine\invoices or set printer to \\win98machine\reports The problem is that I can't find a way to print to these printers from the win98 machine itself. The above set printer command won't work. Neither would set printer to LPT1: or set printer to LPT2: They are simply disregarded and the printer is still the default windows driver. Any ideas would be greatly apreciated. As always - thanks. It's not that easy as Windows insists in going through the printer spool ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Deploying to 360

  Hi, In the XNA Faq, when it talks about giving a project to other people to deploy on their 360's, it says you must give them all the assets and source code, so that they can build the program and squirt it onto their 360. My question is: will it work if you give them a project with the C# source files removed ie they have the assets (either as source graphics and sounds, or the built files) and the .obj's, just not the C# source. What happens if the project is dependant on an external DLL Will I need to ship a project that builds this, too Again, can I get away with excluding the C# source Many thanks, Mark I just wondered if you could make a project that contained only obj's, or perhaps made the obj's m ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBoxColumn - how do I set the SelectedItem?

  I've added a ComboBox column to my DataGridView, and I'm having trouble specifying, at run time, thet value that is to appear in the combo box, as being selected. I don't need to bind the fields to a data source, I want them to contain two distinct items.  I'm able to add them using "column.Items.Add("xxx")", but when running the app, the combo box is empty, with my added values in the drop down.  What I need is something like "column.SelectedIndex = 0" so I can specify the default seleted item. How can I accomplish this Thanks, John I have a similar situation where I have integers saved in the database, but would like to display the values in a dropdown.

• SQL Server Display Last 2 Comments to a Record

  Ok, I'll try to explain this as best as I can... I have an Invoice Record in one table (Invoices) and in another table (Comments) I have multiple comments to an Invoice. I'm looking for a statement that will output the last 2 comments per Invoice Record. Example: The Comments table has multiple ID #'s corresponding to the ID # in the Invoices table. Invoice ID # 1 has 4 Comments; Invoice ID #2 has 3 Comments; ID# 3 has 2 comments. The output would be 6 records with 2 comments for each ID #1, 2, and 3. Something like this should work for you, Scotty. You may be able to tweak it a bit but hopefully this will get you a start. select InvoiceID , Comment , Date from Comments C1 ...Show All
