• Visual FoxPro GetFile

  The statement lcFile = GETFILE([PDF],[Scanned doc],[Select document]) causes some machines to totally freeze up. Seems to affect Win2k machines and not XP or 2003. Statement is in a command button in a container in my vcx classlib. Used to work fine till I started building exe's on my 2003 server Any ideas I think that Alex means that GetFile() is merely a wrapper around the Windows API call that opens Windows Explorer. Therefore the issue is nothing to do with VFP, but more likely to do with the WIndows system ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TEAM FOUNDATION SERVER

  Hello. I need some information, We want to use TFS in no .net framework projects, for instance, C/SIDE. How we can do it Thanks. You can install the Team Explorer client separately but there won't be integration with your IDE, unless the IDE supports the MSSSCI interface which would then provide you with source-control integration, see this post for more info about this: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2006/09/07/744993.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Toolbox icons defaulting to one icon in 2005

  I have one instance of Visual Studio 2005, long time existing, where most of the icons found in the Toolbox for winform development have taken on one icon instead of the unique icons. It occurs from the button icon to the StatusStrip; which all have the same icon. Is there a way to reset them sorry if I mis understood that response, I apologise....To reset the IDE go to tools > import and export settings > Reset all settings. or via command prompt: start > programs > Visual Studio 2005 > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio 2005 command prompt type: devenv /resetide ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions dataset and datagrid problems

  i have a db (access file) i draged a datagrid and connected the thing to the dataset in wizard it automathicly gave me this line in my load function this .workersTableAdapter.Fill( this .db1DataSet.Workers); now i see the rows inside the grid, but i cant seem to change them (when i reopen the program, the rows are the same they were) if someone here knows the subject and can give me some pointers that could be great (if that someone has an email address, icq, or msn, even better, maybe i could even send it to them if they would rather see it with their own eyes) no idea in that case.

• Visual Studio Team System Are there client (team explorer, excel addon, ...) updates assocated with TFS SP1?

  If so, can you run the sp1 exe on the client machines or is there an assocated service pack for the client software Sorry but I'm a bit confused on what is needed to get Team Explorer client machines updated to SP1 and TFS updated to SP1. 1) Exsisting users can just download and install MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Service Pack 1 - MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Standard, Professional, Team Editions . Correct 2) New users need to first install Team Explorer from the TFS install media, then install MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Service Pack 1 - MicrosoftR Visual StudioR 2005 Standard, Professional, Team Editions Is there any Team Explorer install that bundles both the primary install and SP1 t ...Show All

• Visual C# ThreadExceptionEventHandler being suppressed by VS

  I have a bizarre problem. In my main form entry-point (i.e. static void Main), I register a ThreadExceptionEventHandler which should catch unhandled exceptions and do some appropriate processing. For some strange reason, this works fine on another developer's machine, but is suppressed on my machine. I've unchecked the option to use the VS Debug Assistant, unchecked various JIT options...still, when I run the project without debugging, I just get a bland dialog saying 'Client has encountered a problem and needs to close' [Debug] [Close] buttons. When I run it inside VS2005 I hit the point where I've purposely caused a DivideByZero exception. Tearing my hair a bit on this one, as it seems nonsensical that the custom error handling should w ...Show All

• Gadgets Server monitor gadget

  Hi all, Been trying my hand at this writing sidebar gadget's malarky :) One of the things I felt was missing was a simple little sysadmin util to ping servers, couldn't find one so wrote the world's most inelegant one - please, someone with a clue about how you get an options page, feel free to modify it :) Basically, create a gadget (I call it Server_Mon.gadget) and paste this into serv_mon.html in that directory. Create a standard gadget.xml, icon.jpg and a file called C:\Temp\Serv_Mon.ini containing one server name or IP per line. You'll need to adjust the height tag in the serv_mon.html file to make it look right for the number of servers you have. Good luck :) <html> <head>     <title>Se ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Signature Capture

  Seamingly Simple Question, Is there a Signature Capture component that I can purchase for .NET Compact Framework Please don't point me to the MSDN Sample or Robbe Morris' example on EggheadCafe (although both work, they aren't what I need and not what I would call a third party component).
