• Visual FoxPro Fonts, ? and set alternate

  Hi; I have lots of older code that uses commands and set alternate to create a text file and then it uses modify command to view the file. I have noticed that on my development PC, this created a file with Fixedsys font. On the installation pcs the font is "Courier". Is there a way to determine what font will be used when issuing commands to a set alte file I know that I can use the font clause in the command itself but I was wondering what determines the default font used. Thank you all for puting up with my "oldie" questions. TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> IDE Tab THere is a drop-down for "Specify Window/File Type" Choose "Text Files" Amend the settings to whateve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suggestion: Selectively deploy objects

  Hi, This is a feature request. I think it would be nice to be able to "switch off" an object from being included in the DBPro build. This way, you could include things in your project but that don't need to be deployed until a later date. I recognise tht this isn't as simple as just checking a boolean flag - there's the whole issue of checking dependancies and thus disabling those as well. Thoughts Comments -Jamie Hi Steve, as part of the considering the "whole picture" I would also suggest keeping Jamie's thread Deployment strategies - what to do about differences across servers in your sight. I think there may be more coming there too. Jamie's idea that the items should be visible but ...Show All

• .NET Development XML File with No Namespace information

• Visual C# Use internet explorer urls

  I'm making a webbrowser. Now i want to load the same urls that IE uses to a combobox, and set them too. In fact, I just want to know how to get access to the IE urls, so i can set/get them in my app. I hope that I am clear enough. Thanks in forward Thanks for the fast replies. I meant the recently typend urls :D I will certainly try it. But i have one more question. I want to add the typed urls to the combobox items too. Now I am aware of the combobox.items.contains() method, but I discovered that it checks for the whole string. People can type different variants of a url, like google.com or www.google.com , and the combobox will see this as 2 different strings, so it adds both of them. Now, how d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need help with visual studio/visual basic.net !!!!!

  I am currently reading a book titled learning visual basic.net as an attempt to teach myself visual basic. Early in the book, it calls for use of the visual studio.net command prompt. I have the free express version of visual basic as I cannot afford visual studios. I cannot seem to find a visual studio command prompt, does anyone know where I can get one (if possible) for free.
