• Visual FoxPro drop-down combobox problem

  Hi I'm still struck with the combo drop-down part problem for nearly 2 weeks and need help from you. When the values of these 2 textboxes match with each other, the list of employee is able to display on the combo drop-down. But I have one problem :- The list of employee on the combo drop-down repeat unnecessary (even a few blanks) when i changes the values of textboxes. How to refresh the combo drop-down once the values of textbox changes Thank you. I put same values like company codes in both txtboxes. For example, txtboxA = ABCD and txtboxB = ABCD and narrow down the list of employees who works in ABCD. But if I change the values from ABCD to POIU, the result is that the list of employees in ABCD and POIU are to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug?: Unwanted C4819

  For the following program (encoded in Latin1): #include <stdio.h> #ifdef _MSC_VER #define POUND 0xA3 #else #define POUND '￡' #endif int main() { printf("%c\n", POUND); return 0; } I get the following message under Chinese Windows: test.c : warning C4819 : The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss The point is that the offending line is not designed to work with MSVC. I do not think it right to give such a warning. I found this when compiling a cross-platform project. It has code like above for other platforms. Earlier versions of MSVC do not report this error. The suggestion is useless in my case (won't work ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Layer Past Zoom Level 17?

    Hello people,    I have set up a custom Tile Server to serve up some Hight Detail tiles as a custom layer: I have set the VETileSourceSpecification.MaxZoom property to 18, as my TileServer can produce tiles at any magnification.  It all works fine at normal zoom levels, but once I soom past Zoom Level 17, where VE Tiles stop - then there appears to be just vast amounts of grey/gray Anyone have any ideas on how to allow VE to render my custom layer at a higher zoom level   I don't care if the normal tiles don't display.  All I need is for my custom layer to render. e.g. //Add layer tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification(); tileSourceSpec.ID = "HighDetailLayer" ; tileSourceSp ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS 2003, false data concurrency error

  Hi I have a vs 2003 winform data app. All the data access code has been generated using the data adapter wizard and then pasted into the app. The problem I have is that I am getting a data concurrency error on mydataadapter.update() method. I know that there is no data concurrency problem as I am the only user testing the app. Obviously the error is misleading.
