I feel your pain....we rely on Office 97 for one of our in-house systems, so until we re-design it, we are stuck with XP.

Hi Both, Thanks for the replies, I think I need to look into changing this solution. :)

Hi, If I cast it as basePDV, I am unable to access the properties inside PDV and PDVHH. Thanks,

Hi, I want to load a screen with a ViewModel depending on the option selected. I thought Inheritance would be key here, as a lot of the properties are the same. Below is an extract of the code that I have.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();

        bool isHandheld = false;

        var pdv1 = isHandheld == true ? new PDVHH() : new PDV();

        txtCaseID.Text = pdv1.CaseID;
        txtPDV.Text = isHandheld == true ? pdv1.PDVString : string.Empty;
        txtPDVHH.Text = isHandheld == true ? pdv1.PDVHHString : string.Empty;

    }
}

class basePDV
{
    public string CaseID { get; set; }
}

class PDV : basePDV
{
    public string PDVString { get; set; }
}

class PDVHH : basePDV
{
    public string PDVHHString { get; set; }
}

The error I am receiving is... "Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'WindowsFormsApplication1.PDVHH' and 'WindowsFormsApplication1.PDV'" I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance on a solution for this. Thanks,

Depends how many you want, and what you want to record and show in your system.

Hi, I was asked a question the other day which was, does using SQL Server Replication improve query response time. I answered no, because I couldn't quite see how it would. I thought I'd better do a bit of research before giving a definitive answer though :) Thanks,

The fact that I am on here looking at this article, means I am distracted at work :-D

Hi All, I have always used VMWare on my laptop for studying purposes. The laptop runs an i5, 6GB RAM and standard HDD. It has performed pretty well overall for running 1-2 servers and a client over the last few years, but as you can imagine, it's at its limits! I have picked out a new machine running an i7-4790, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD with a 2TB HDD. It will be running Windows 8.1 Pro and as far as I can tell, the OS and spec support all the requirements to run Hyper-V. I am aware there are only 8 threads on the i7, but this machine is only for study purposes so the machines won't be running anything too heavy and only running perhaps 3-4 VM's at once. How will the machine stack up? I know it will be a massive improvement in comparison to what I have now, but I don't want to spend out and then find there is a bottleneck holding me back! Thanks
