Visual Studio

Right, because I was not sure where this question belongs too.

If you want to convert a program from using the Windows API to using Qt then you will have to go through the source code, find all the API calls and change them to their Qt equivalents. If you think it is possible to automate the process then I can only suggest a Google search.

I don't know what you are doing but I have done this many times (including just now in VS2017) and it works correctly.

The main thing wrong with your question is that you are complaining to the wrong people. As I already suggested, this is a Microsoft issue and they are the only people that can change the product.

Not only that, but so are unused namespaces in your Using directives. Not only that, but when you add a directive, it will similarly flag the fully qualified names that can be shortened, and offer to fix them for you. That bit started in VS 2015. David A.

Not sure what I just did - but the project is now open in design mode - thanks guys :-)

Your question isn't finished. We also have no idea what your "Fact table" is, what it's supposed to contain, or where the data is coming from.

Dang autocorrect on this phone. Makes my text look terrible Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

Using the Visual Studio menu, select Tools, then Options. Then find the Text Editor section, select the language you are interested in and see what options there are. Try and make an effort to learn the features of the system that you are using.

This isn't a specific answer to your question, but why do people insist on always using new versions of software? It's simply not necessary. If you like Windows Forms, why not use the 2010 version? Technology always changes, but much of it is unnecessary. Even though there are newer ways to make Windows programs in C++, a guy can still use the MFC to do it. Sure it's an older way but so what? It still is perfectly valid. By the way, even though you don't see Windows Forms as a template in the newer versions, you can still use it. Go to YouTube and look. They show you how. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and it's great. No need to use anything more recent.

Means that there is no executable with that name in the current path. If you open a console, and you get a "C:\Windows>" prompt, then that is the current folder. That's where it will look for an executable with the name you entered. Try changing the directory to where the executable is located.

You're welcome! The licensing used to be more restrictive; but keeps getting more relaxed; you have to keep checking back.

If this is a web application, try using PDF.js[^] to display the file. It's the same PDF rendering tool that Firefox uses internally. "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

What code did you try? What exactly happened when you did? Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yes.

Optical Mark Recognition is a process, that neither Visual Studio 2010, nor MySQL (unless, some geek made it possible), is able to perform. That is a job for a language, C++, Java or C#. You can anyhow read the data from MySQL database, but the process itself is only going to be executed by a language, and Visual Studio itself is capable of providing you with enough environments to program the application in. That is your choice. Here is a complete article, that talks about this in C# language. [C# - Optical Marks Recognition (OMR) Engine 2.1a (Mar, 2016)](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/884518/Csharp-Optical-Marks-Recognition-OMR-Engine-a-M), kindly go through all of this.
