• Visual FoxPro MSCHART AND VISUAL FOXPRO 9

  I am trying to use MSCHART with VFP9 and have some success until I want to set or change Legions, Titles, Colors etc. or to enter data into the second Y axis. Using any of the property / constant names only produces the message "Name Unknown". Any suggestions. I advise to read getting started sections first. I gave you everything you need. I don't understand what steps else you want. Create your report and run the code (just be sure testdata.dbc is in your search path). There is nothing to understand about graphing. Code does that for you. ...Show All

• SQL Server Recommendation on Sync with Access and SQL Everywhere

  I am re-writing an application for Windows CE which was originally written for the Palm OS. The original application was written in VB6 using access databases. I will be re-writing it in VB.Net and was considering using SQL Everywhere as it seems to fit the criteria that i need. There is also an application written for the desktop that synchronizes with the mobile application. This also is written in VB6 and uses Access Databases. I found the Sync with access CTP which i thought was exactly what i will need for this project. However i have a few concerns about SQL and Access and would like to ask a few questions before i can continue with this project. I read that this Sync with access will allow me to synchronize the data between ...Show All

• Visual C# How do i call a method from a different form?

  Hi, I have 2 forms that are closely linked with each other: form1. a form which lists a bunch of different layers form2. a form which describes the layer (i.e. name, colour, etc) if i change something in form1, i want to call an update function in to update the display in form2, and vice versa. What is the best way to do this from my knowledge, using delegate only works in one direction, correct me if i'm wrong. My idea is to create the update functions within their respective classes and find some way to call that function from the other form. is that possible i have already set it up so that they are sharing a data structure, i just need them to access each other's functions. thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic What is a wrapper?

  I need to create a VB.net wrapper, that will take data paramters from VB6 to a vb.net 2005 form, and then send values back to the vb6 form. What is a wrapper How do I create one Can anyone recommend resources Thanks This is a good article. Basically VB6 does not know about .NET and knows about COM technology. .NET as able to create / use COM technology so you are basically creating a layer of code which allows COM calling (Vb6) to call a component which was written in .NET but allows access via to/from COM. This layer is what a wrapper is - it wraps the .NET functionality in a COM interface allowing it to be called from any application that supports COM. Of course to use this functionali ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Handling events generated by Contents of ContentControl in a parent of ContentControl

  Hi, I have a control inheritted from ItemsControl which contains a number of specialized ContentControls. I would like to handle all the events (say, the MouseButtonDown events) generated by the Content of the ContentControls at the level of the parent ItemsControl. Obviously I can override the OnMouseButtonDown method in the ItemsControl, and, thanks to RoutedEvents, I will recieve all the events generated within a ContentControl. The problem is that the RoutedEventArgs.Source property is usually an item within the ContentControl rather than the ContentControl itself. What is the best approach for amalgamating events generated by the ContentControl and its contents I don't really want to define new RoutedEvents just for this purpose ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Any "Team BritBot" winners?

  The Team BritBot competition ended 2 weeks ago, and according to the rules, the winners should be notified by e-mail: "18. Prize winners will be notified by e-mail by 15th September, 2006."

No idea who won, site hasnt changed since the 1st. ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating AScii 7 bit Flat file (.txt) on to a FTP location using Integration services/DTS

  Hi All, I need to know how to create a AScii 7 bit flat file using Integration services. I do have basic charecters in the flat files - only other charecters required are a pipe (|), which is used as delimeter and additionally it will have line feed (LF) which is used as row delimeter. Please let me know if this is possible. -vinu In the connection mgr you use for the Flat File Destination, you can specify the code page. I believe 20127 us-ascii is what you want.

  Hi people, i'm using a templated class on my dll and it compiles and link fine, but I find that it has introduced some symbols of my templated class on the dll.
