Consolas is one of a number of new fonts that ship with Vista. (And was the only reason that I installed one of the early builds of Vista.) Microsoft has now...
The new Web Application Project model has been released. While new for VS 2005, WAP is in many ways a return to the old ways found in VS 2003. You can now set...
Andy, The WAP looks like both a powerful and dangerous tool. Have you used it yet on existing 2005 projects? What happened? How does this impact the ...
Bob, I have been using the release candidate for 2 or 3 weeks on a project that contains a couple of web sites and a couple of class libraries. No issues other...
I am reading a project spec that indicates the application should contain no unmanaged code. According to Microsoft, managed code is code that sits on top of...
I figured as much. Looks like I'm rewriting this thing. Thanks Wayne. ... -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger...
I am working on a project now for a client that requires all managed code. I have rewritten about 60% of the code and functionality in C# and have now come to...
Thanks for the e-mail Wayne. I am not writing the software that is to be executed. All I know about the exe is that it loads user information for a POS...
I tried opening the exe on the server by double-clicking it and got the following error: "%E: Cannot find "\Ent=' parameter on the command line." So there is...
I have a page that contains two pairs of GridViews and ObjectDataSources and a third table (with lots of dynamically created LinkButtons) all three linked in a...
Andy, The ODS code I sent you is heavily instrumented with TRACE statements that write to a log, just so I could follow the sequence of event firings. I ...

Will, There is some flexibility with SQL bit columns and how you access and set them. Internally, the data is all stored in the same 1 or 0 format. Is the code...
That's what I ended up doing Wayne. Now I guess this leads to my next question. I have a series of checkboxes for my user configuration page and a check will...
This should work: cm.Parameters.Add("@Remote", SqlDbType.Bit); cm.Parameters["@Remote"].Value = cbRemoteTrans.Checked if not his is the cleanest alternative: ...
Thanks a lot to the both of you. A nice crash course in SQL bit fields and Booleans! - Will -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving...
I am working on a SQL RS project (2nd one ever) and am having a bit of a problem with URL length. The report I am working with sends 18 parameters to the...
Nevermind, realized the path in the configuration needed to be: /report_directory/report_name instead of /report_directory/ Also, any input on CSV output with...
Nevermind. Good to go! ... -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe...
