Thanks. The application I'm maintaining was written using an installation of Visual Studio 6. If I remember correcty, most of the components of the Studio would stand alone by themselves, including Visual Basic. But I'd like some confirmation. Do you know if this is the case?

Preferably by download. I have an MSDN account but it looks like VS6 is long gone and not available for purchase anymore.

When I'm in the Eclipse IDE and save the project or change a property value of a widget in the property window, the icons at the top of the Graphical Layout window flash. This continues for a few seconds and apparently quits when the save or change is complete. Does anyone else experience...

I bought one of the Google TV's a few months back. Love the thing but not a whole lot of available apps, at least not like for the smart phones. Pandora, Scanner Radio, some live backgrounds, some others are there. But maybe it's an underserved market at this point. Should probably check...

I liked the book also. Now I'm working through "Android for Programmers (An App-Driven Approach)" by Dietel Developer Series. It would be good as a second book.

Does anyone know which port Sync Services expects? We've got a firewall between our central office and outside offices and we have an occasionally connected application using SQL Compact Edition. How can I determine which port to open?

Does anyone have any numbers or a study on whether a Web Application takes longer to develop than a Desktop application, and by how much?

Does anyone know of a web service that brings back your internet connection speed. Kind of like this one: http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/ But I want to do it programmatically within an application.

My application is a click once available when users are disconnected. It installs in the "Documents and Settings\myusername" folder. Is it possible to change this installation folder to something else?

I'm looking into a security model in which we will have an occasionally connected (Click Once) application. (Briefly: Our users use tablet PCs to collect data while in the field. If they have a broadband connection they can access network resources. Without a connection they can still...

J, thanks for the response. All our apps currently authenticate locally. Our security team is considering a policy whereas no user information is maintained in application tables. So it's a potential policy that is driving this research. Thanks for the link to the LDAP forum. Rich

That's it. Thanks.

I'm trying to use a datagridview with a multi column header for visual appeal like: Monday Tuesday Open Close Open Close 6:00 10:00 6:00 10:00 12:00 5:00 12:00 5:00 Where the header would be the "Monday" and the "Open" and "Close" spanning the two columns of...

This appears to be fixed now. If anyone is interested in how: We removed the problematic tables from the local data cache, deleted the .sdf (and its references) and reran the configuration wizard to add the tables back. Over the past several weeks, we've modified our process for schema...
