Could be ridiculous and a waste of time but it only takes less than a minute to visit the link and sign the petition. Less time than it took to think about and write responses to this post. If you don't want to sign it no one says you have to. Maybe MS would do some future development or maybe...
Irfan,
Check out Murach's ADO.NET programming with VB.NET: http://www.amazon.com/Murachs-ADO-NET-Database-Programming-2010/dp/1890774626. It's a great book and will get you going on building three tier apps very quickly. I have been using it for a couple of years as a reference.
Best,

Hi,
I am just starting to port some code into C# to share with a VB6 application that I am migrating and in my testing I am getting an error in WINXP less than SP3 when I include a manifest file.
Below is what my application manifest looks like. This works on WINXP SP3 - Windows 8. I am not...
Hey Strongm,
Thanks for the code snippet. I changed my code to use the .lpstrFile = String(.nMaxFile - 1, 0) statement and that fixed the problem. I was padding the name with " " and it was creating a huge string that was getting selected in the dialog textbox and hiding the file name. When...
True it is 256 sorry.
Here's the Function:
Private Function ShowFileDialog(ByVal viAction As Integer) As Boolean
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Name : ShowFileDialog

Hi,
I am using the Common Dialog Box GetOpenFileNameW (comdlg32.dll) call and I am setting the file name buffer to 255 characters. The problem I am experiencing is that I can not see the file name because the textbox is right-justified and all I can see is the spaces padding the name.
I'd like...
I actually found the work around for this. I had the backstyle of my label set to transparent. When I resized the form the labels randomly went to a blurry/bold state. By resetting the backstyle to opaque the behavior is normal. I guess the thing is to set the label to have the same backcolor as...
Hi,
I am kind of new to vb.net development and am creating an n-tier application. I am trying get my error handling setup properly between the tiers. The tiers are logically separated w/in the application. In this example let’s say I am trying to return a decimal value to the view from a query...
It is good to hear the debates. I'd love to do the app in fox but I am concerned about the future.
I tend to think that the best thing to do is just drop fox go for .net and not look back.
The thing is that I have programmed in VFP for so long and I really enjoy it.
The other thing is that...
Sean / Craig & Rick,
Thanks for the advice and information about the report writers. I'll mull it over for a while I have some time. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Hi,
I know that this question comes up every once in a while. I have an opportunity to start a new application and was considering VFP or VB.NET as a front end to a MySQL server. I love to program in Fox and think VB.NET is okay, too.
This is essentially a forms over data application that will...
Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an option to tell fox not to change user defined method names to lowercase? It's a bit frustrating. I generally name my methods in mixed case but fox keeps converting them. All of the Fox defined methods in the class are mixed case.
Thanks,
Tom.
