• Visual FoxPro Report Builder Error with XP Media Center Edition

  I had to buy a computer in a rush and selected one that had XP Media Center Edition expecting to be able to install XP Professional when I got it home.  Well, this is a Gateway notebook and XP Pro wouldn't load. Now, with Media Center o/s, I am getting an error in the 9.0 report forms when I try to access the text or label properties.  The label error reads: Variable 'vpos' is not found.  Line 0 in loadformfrx(): textlabelhandler.error() The properties work fine when bypassing reportbuilder.app.  Is there any conflict with VFP9 reportbuilder.app and XP Media Center O/S or do I have a corrupted reportbuilder.app file Thanks in advance. >> Is there any conflict with VFP9 reportbuilder.app a ...Show All

• Gadgets any examples of a gadget call a web service that returns json?

  I'm hoping to find an example of a sidebar gadget that will call a web service with some parameters and return a json object. I'm hoping it calls it on a timer and is done in javascript. Thanks, Peter Kellner http://peterkellner.net ASP.NET, MVP Accessing data from a web service in a gadget with a JSON service is no different than doing so in Javascript on a regular HTML page. Are you really just looking for a JSON client or is there something specific about the sidebar gadget you'd like to understand -SANDY ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Best approach to overlay 3D effects on controls

  Hi, I am looking to componentize some of the 3D effects like water ripples ( http://pavanpodila.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!9C9E888164859398!141.entry ) so that I can overlay them on any control. The texture for the 3D effect would be picked up from the VisualBrush of the control. A simple approach is to overlay the Viewport3D on top of the control, play the effect and then remove the Viewport3D. Using Attached properties I could associate the effect with the control. If anyone has tried something similar, I would love to be educated. Thanks. Pavan Hi Adam, I intend to show these 3D effects when a new child is added to the Panel. In addition to the new-child-animation, the Panel also participates in a Layout animation. Whenever th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dates in SQL string

  Im having trouble with selecting records from my DBASE IV database with a select statement. When i try to use the statement DBRset.Open("SELECT * FROM NEWBAR WHERE DATERCVD= 29/09/2006", DBConn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenDynamic, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic, 1); it returns no records, which it definatly should. When i read the entire database and outbput the date field i get 00:00:00 at the end of the output, which i would assume is the time being stored in the date field, so i tried DBRset.Open("SELECT * FROM NEWBAR WHERE DATERCVD= 29/09/2006 00:00:00", DBConn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenDynamic, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockBatchOptimistic, 1); and instead i re ...Show All

• .NET Development Just a pair of questions

We've got a .Net service running on Windows 2003 64 bit which has been compiled as x64 in project options.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can I get Workflow Status from Tracking DB without using SqlTracking and WorkflowStatus?

  How can I get Workflow Status from Tracking DB without using SqlTracking and WorkflowStatus property, but by select  statement from DB I'm not sure I fully understand your question but I'll take a shot at a possible answer. There is no single column that holds a current status so you need to compute it. Computing it can be done a couple of different ways depending on how you define status and what you want to show. For example you could just get the most recent record for the instance from the vw_WorkflowInstanceEvent table. Join to vw_TrackingWorkflowEvent on TrackingWorkflowEventId to get the text description of the event. You could say that if the table doesn't contain a value for Completed or Ter ...Show All

  How do I remove filterby from my help window and display all the help contents for MSDN If you are using Visual Studio Express edition product, this is not supported. However, the MSDN Express Library that ships as part of the VS Express products is not the same thing as the full MSDN Library. Primarily all that would get filtered out by existing filters in Express Library would be content not particularly relevent to the Express product defined by the filter. The full MSDN Library however is now freely downloadable, though not intended to be used with the Express products. You can download the full Library, but unfortunately, you will not be able to integrate it with an Express version of Visual Studi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Localization Support

  Are there any plans to have better localization support in the Orcas CTP's The current method of localizing XAML using LOCBAML and manually editing csprog files is not very developer friendly. The Winform designer has a property (Localizable) that when set will automatically move all strings to resources. Steve Mark, Possibly something like the Winforms designer. When you set the Localizable property on a form to true, it moves string resources (for example button text) to a resource file (Form1.Resx) Another approach would be to be able to right click on a XAML file on the solution explorer and click Generate Resource or Add to Resource. This will parse the XAML and put all the strings in ...Show All
