• .NET Development Date/Time Error

  Hello. I have a program that adjusts the displayed time to the correct time for a given US time zone. However, I get an error whenever it tries to cross the 11pm/12am barrier. For example, if I'm trying to convert 1am EST to MST, it gives me the error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks. Below is the code: If optMtn.Checked = True Then If OldZone = "E" Then txtTime.Text = DateAdd(DateInterval.Hour, -2, CDate(txtTime.Text)) ElseIf OldZone = "C" Then txtTime.Text = DateAdd(DateInterval.Hour, -1, CDate(txtTime.Text)) ElseIf OldZone ...Show All

• SQL Server How To Delete Rows In SQL

  Does the SQL DELETE command actually delete records or just mark them for deletion. And if so, how do you force a physical deletion (code required). Thanks. Dim command As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand( "DELETE FROM Table WHERE Day=" & "Monday", connection) connection.Open() command.ExecuteNonQuery() connection.Close() It's funny how my dB size increased after I ran the Delete command. It's up 29MB, but I'm not sure how many records I deleted and what's the root cause of the increase and what's in that increase. I did do a test preview and it did reflect the correct data. Oh well. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Help on Report Writer Wizard

  Hi guys, Hellllpppppp. I am very new with VFP and already getting frustrated. I would appreciate a little help from you gurus. Using the Report Writer Wizard always gives me this error message: "The DBC containing the selected table was previously opened non-exclusively and the field(s) you chose for sorting are not in existing index tag. Please select field(s) which already have an existing index tag or exit the wizard and reopen the DBC exclusively." I have done ALL of them and I still get the same error message.

• Windows Forms ToolStripComboBox - SelectedIndexChanged is not raised when text is deleted.

  Hi, Here are the steps to reproduce the problem I am having: Using a ToolStripComboBox filled with items: 1) Select an item in the ToolStripComboBox's list. (The SelectedIndex changes to the index of the item you selected, and the SelectedIndexChanged event fires.) 2) Delete the text in the ToolStripComboBox's text box. (The SelectedIndex changes to -1, but the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire.) Is this a bug I want to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to enable another control when an item is selected in my ToolStripComboBox, but the above behavior would allow the other control to be enabled when no item is selected. Thanks, Johanna Belanger The regular ComboBox control work ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing a public item through an interface

  Hi,  Hopefully somone can point me in the right direction on this.. I have an application that has to be able to handle multiple file types, so im using an interface to access the created object. So i have class1 and class2 and they both implement my interface, at loadtime the app creates one of these objects depending on the format. Everything about this works fine, but each of these classes have an array of public items and my question is: Is it possible to access these public items through the interface eg: myObject.items[4] In case its not clear what im trying to do i made a sample app with the exact same structure: http://www.turnipfan.com/sample_code.rar Thanks for any help, -Dave ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Persistence, Idle Workflows and External Events

  I've been doing some thinking about how the default workflow persistence services work and how it affects those of us writing complex event-activities (i.e. IEventActivity implementations), and I was curious about something. I was reading Paul Andrew's comment on how the default workflow persistence service will only load persisted workflows that are "ready to run", and how it worked with locking when multiple runtime instances across a farm were using the same persistence database (all very informative stuff). However, what I'm not quite clear on yet is what the "readiness to run" of a persisted workflow is determined. Could someone expand on this a little bit Here's what I'm trying to find out: For example, if an act ...Show All

• .NET Development ArrayList missing .Item???

  I know this has got to be in FAQ someplace but I can't find it, and it's driving me nuts... Every reference I find says that there's a .Item property for ArrayLists. But my .NET 2003 C# programs won't compile if I try to reference that property. For example: ArrayList MyList = new ArrayList(); Object o = MyList.Item[3]; I get a compile-time error: System.Collections.ArrayList does not contain a definition for "Item" Thanks for any help you can provide... In both .NET 2003 and .NET 2005 ".Item" will not be there in ArrayList. The code ArrayList MyList = new ArrayList(); Object o = MyList.Item[3]; will through compile-time error: y ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows SDK installer fails (v6.0.6000.0 RTM)
