• Visual FoxPro Errors running FoxPro Stored procedures in .NET windows app

  Hi I want to run a stored procedure in user selected database which basically creates two new tables to be persisted in the same database. I am able to call this stored procedure but I keep getting the same error "One or more errors occurred during processing of command." There are no details of what the error is specifically about. I am able to run the same stored procedure using Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 software. My Connection string is "provider='VFPOLEDB.1';data source='strPathName.dbc';password='';user id='';Mode=ReadWrite". Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

• Windows Forms adding a user control to the Toolbox

  I am having problems adding a user control to the Toolbox in the .NET environment. How do I do this Thanks for any help. Bruce Hello All. Bruce: If I recall correctly, that's the original Visual Studio .NET . The way you're doing it is probably the only way to do it. MS has since fixed a lot of the pain-in-the-neck stuff, but I guess that doesn't help you much. HTH. ...Show All

• Windows Forms StroglyTyped dataset with changed schema

  I was fooling around with Oracle and SQL 2005 Express So that I made a converter/ replicator with strongly typed dataset (used mainly drag & drop). It fetches all new/ changed data from oracle and updates this info to SQL. All worked fine untill I tried to move this same solution to my friends environment, he had a typo on his Schema name. I couldn't fix it just by altering the connectionString in app.config. connectionString to SQL server is working fine, or that could be changed to anything I want. Should this work similar with oracle Is the something that should be changed in the code level I've fixed that by correcting the schema, but what if I couldn't do that.. Forexample I would have to move application from de ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Jim, You are correct, 20% is probably the worst I have seen. Unless you do some real thight loop memory operations. Most people never talk about poorly written code either, which is slow regardless of programming language. There is some horribly inefficent examples for every language out there. Having said that, I find it a lot harder to optimize c++ for performance, than c#. The guts is in the algorithms, if you get them right it should not really matter if you write your code managed c#.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Problem in IIS after installing WSS 3.0

  Hi all, after installing WSS 3.0,it creates a site which listen on port 80,and all of you know that default web site is working also on port 80. now,i'm trying to change the port for WSS site,but when i changed for example from 80 to 90 or any other port # the site is not working. any one know how can i solve that I guess it depends on how much work you already put into that site that listened on PORT 80. If this is brand new simply go into your Central Administrator and create a new web application to extend and then build your site collection off of that.

• Visual C++ CreateCompatibleBitmap failing

  On a test Windows XP machine with 5 monitors (Overall desktop bounding box is 3328x2048), I create a bitmap that will span the entire display. Normally this works fine. However, if several applications are open (in particular multiple instances of IE7 on certain web sites), the call to CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdc, 3328, 2048) fails and returns NULL. GetLastError in this case returns 0 (NoError). Is there a limit to the total amount of bitmap space that the system can allocate Is it normal for CreateCompatibleBitmap to fail with no error code Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this, or is there a system setting that can allow more memory to be dedicated to bitmaps I was able to get satisfa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing Margins at Run Time

  Hi, Using VS.NET 2005 and C#. I was wondering if it's possible to change the reportViewer's margins at run time I find that if you are creating label sheets the end user may have to tweak the top and left margin to center the text onto the label correctly. Unfortunately, every printer will print a little different. Thanks, Ron It has been a while since I did it so I cant think of any useful links but I have listed some useful tips instead If you want to go down the XmlSerializeable Classes route which allows you to to modify elements of the rdl by simply using class properties instead of having to use one of the various xml parsing techniques, as stated you will need to write a class fo ...Show All

  Hi all, Can we add a menu item in outlook-2003 using vb.net 2003.If so please tell me how to add. cheers ravindra Just as in other Office programs, you use CommandBar.Controls.Add. The difference in Outlook is that CommandBars is a property of the Explorer and Inspector objects, not Application.

• Software Development for Windows Vista TC23 - Problems undoing registry changes after installation rollback

  Hello, I'm trying to pass test case 23, and even if I finally got the installer to remove all the files that it installed (I had problems with reportengine.msm of Crystal Reports) after the rollback, I realized that it didn't undo the registry changes made during intallation. I think I read (in a post in this forum that right now I can't find) that we should make a little script to launch after rollback, where we could undo those changes manually. Well, this is what my imaging tool says about the registry changes after rollback: - Values added: 91.900 - Keys added: 97.700 - Values deleted and changed: 1000 Those are lots of changes !! I realized that our controls' registration information is still in the registry, even th ...Show All
