  • What's the syntax error?
    R Ron Nicholson

    I typed it in as a Select and it worked fine. Changing it to and EXEC proc failed. Try converting the date then see.

    DECLARE @DateT DateTime = Convert(DateTime, '09-09-2024 14:14:28')
    EXEC StoredProcName 9,'12341239487','1', @DateT,'calculated','','','',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;

    This works fine for me. Raiserror is the same way, can't cast or convert inline.

    Was he true to his name? Also is this a good case for 'My compiler built your compiler?' (At least initialy). :)

  • What a disaster
    R Ron Nicholson

    A couple of years ago, I used an Azure SQL instance. Populated a small, very small database with a bit of data. about 30 tables, a few stored procs and less than 500 actual rows of data. After that I never touched it. Didn't add or subtract data, never connected, just left it sitting out there. At the end of the month I got a bill for $350.00. Dropped the Sql instance immediately and still had another $100.00 or so the next month. This was all using the "free" azure dev service. It is bad. The free stuff you can actually use, expires in 30 days. Everything else worth using, costs.

  • Annoying VS auto-add "using"
    R Ron Nicholson

    There is also a setting that allows it to remove unused ones on build. Might keep you from manually deleting them. HTH

    R Ron Nicholson

    The connection string is normally stored in the web.config file. If you haven't yet, try searching the entire solution for 'localdb'.

  • Okay Microsoft. Uncle!
    R Ron Nicholson

    ThunderBird was too slow for me. I keep most everything and have about 7 accounts. Maybe that had something to do with it. I purchased Em Client and it has worked great for about a year or so now.

  • MS Edge VPN: Built-in
    R Ron Nicholson

    I opened Edge and then Copilot and ask this question: tell me about Edge's new vpn service Here is the response: Certainly! Microsoft Edge now offers a built-in VPN service called Edge Secure Network. Here’s how it works: Encryption: Edge Secure Network encrypts your internet connection, making it secure and private. Location Obscuring: It hides your location and IP address, preventing third parties and hackers from accessing your sensitive data. Automatic Activation: The VPN activates automatically when you connect to open Wi-Fi networks or visit unsecured websites. Limitations: Currently, it provides 5 GB of data and is not available for enterprise users. To enable it: Open Microsoft Edge. Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services. Turn on Microsoft Edge Secure Network and choose Optimized3. Enjoy safer browsing with Edge Secure Network! 😊 It does say not for enterprise users and I couldn't find it in my settings, but I am an enterprise user. I'll try at home later and see if I can find it. HTH

  • Dear Apple, Why do you hate grandma?
    R Ron Nicholson

    I feel ya as a long time iphone user. But I gotta say that Microsoft started that trend, afaik. Microsoft has been rearranging the furniture for 3 or 4 decades now. I think that's their attempt to make you feel like it was money well spent. :laugh:

  • Ladder Logic any experts here?
    R Ron Nicholson

    I started to do some LAD stuff for a Rockwell system we used. This was about 10-12 years ago. I never got very deep. I did a DuckDuckGo search and found these Siemens ladder logic documentation[^]. The first link[^] Seems promising. Probably not your equipment, but it might help bring back memories. HTH. P.S. I'm sure you've already searched and didn't find what you need, so feel free to ignore me. :)

  • Huh, but you are in the same office?
    R Ron Nicholson

    On some level it is easier to collaborate sitting at your own desk. It allows everyone to see the primary screen but the ones not sharing can reference other things, sql tables, vs solutions, google, chatgpt. You can't really do that sharing one desk and pc. That said, it does seem silly to not just lean back and ask your neighbor a question. So I guess there are times when either one is more productive than the other. P.S. Most of us are lazy and don't want to get up. :laugh:

  • Toggle HDR mode in C#?
    R Ron Nicholson

    For something completely different. You could try to create a shortcut or batch file to run an Autohotkey script to change the setting then start the game. GOG games should be easy, and you might be able to run the steam games from the desktop shortcut steam can create. Just a thought. Ron

  • installer does not work for VB application, what can I do?
    R Ron Nicholson

    Assuming you haven't tried to run the install as a windows XP or 7 program? Right click the executable, Properties, compatibility and 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose an os. Edit: You might make sure that your display is at 100% and not 125%. It is under display properties, you can adjust the scale. Sometimes apps especially older ones don't scale well.

  • Email clients
    R Ron Nicholson

    This is the one I settled on. But I paid for it, the free client will only allow 2 accounts. I have 6 or 8 and it does everything Thunderbird would do only faster. Also the calendar integration is great.
