I use the User Agent Switcher extension. It comes with a few defaults but you can also set custom ones. http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/[^] -- modified at 12:30 Friday 2nd December, 2005

I had the same problem. Then I tried with the User Agent changed to IE 6 and it was clickable. But when I changed the User Agent back the default, the nav bar worked with dropdowns and all. Weird. Maybe a javascript file wasn't getting loaded in time originally?

Ctrl + Click works for me...

There is RapidSVN. It's still young and pretty basic but it's a start. http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/[^] steve

I'm in.

From vbconCProgrammingLanguageFutureFeatures.asp[^]: > Generics Support in Other Languages It is Microsoft's intent to support the consumption and creation of generic types in Visual J#™, Visual C++, and Visual Basic. While some languages may implement this feature earlier than others, all of Microsoft's other three languages will contain support for generics. Meanwhile, the C# team is laying the groundwork for multiple language support by incorporating facilities in the underlying runtime for generics. Microsoft is working closely with third party language partners to ensure the creation and consumption of generics across .NET-based languages. > Kinda vague but it sounds like hope. steve

Visual Studio.NET can use VSS also. You should use 6.0c (which is the version that came with VS.NET Enterprise) since, if I remember correctly, it had some file types changes that help it work with VS.NET. 6.0c should be in the MSDN disks...

You might try taking a look at the CP article: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/command_line.asp[^] It's in C# but should give you the idea and some background.

Most of the companies I have heard about will give you a better deal on a plan if you have your own phone. I usually always get a new phone but I've had friends who have used old phones on new plans. The one thing you have to worry about is whether your phone will work on the new company's systems. Some phones are locked to a certain company and some phones don't support the right networks. What company did you have before? Try them first, I would think. Where are you at in Portland? Good luck, steve

Yes, with or without parentheses works fine for VB.NET. cheers, steve

The rumor I heard last month was that it was expected January-ish. But from what they were saying, the recently released public beta was expected earlier but running a little late so that might push out the final, too. cheers, steve

You can do that easily if you use the C++ managed extensions provided by .NET. Visit the resources here at CodeProject[^] for an introduction to Managed C++. For the most part, after you have a manged assembly it is only a matter of making a reference to it and deriving from it, regardless of the language you want to use. steve

Sorry, VB.NET doesn't have operator overloading. You'll have to use C# for that... steve

Not sure how much help this will be but... You can still use the Scripting.FileSystemObject in C# if you would like. The code would be pretty close to what you have already, just change it to use the new syntax. Very quick and easy. You can also use the IO libraries provided by .NET but you will, obviously, have to re-do all the code that calls this property. Off the top of my head, I can't really tell you what needs to change but I would probably stick with the Scripting.FileSystemObject if you're porting. It's usually easier to change as little as possible and make sure it's working before moving on. Cheers, steve

I have no experience in writing Outlook add-ins but something like this might be of interest... http://groups.google.com/groups?q=VS.NET+Outlook+add+in&hl= en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=%23BDiKy%23qBHA.1860%40tkmsft ngp04&rnum=2 Good luck! steve

You can do a similar thing in C# with the String.Format() method. See: http://search.microsoft.com/gomsuri.asp?n=3&c=rp\_Results& siteid=us/dev&target=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ cpref/html/frlrfSystemStringClassFormatTopic.asp The long and short of it is this: sQuery = String.Format("EXEC MySP {0}", sSPVariable); Steve

I don't think I have more than one account. I have no trouble signing in and have never created more accounts using different emails. It's not that big of a deal to me, it just wastes some CP bandwidth. steve

I get this too. The week before last I got three. Weird thing is they are all different sizes... Maybe next week I'll take a look and try to figure out why... maybe not. :) steve

You can use the OleDb ADO.NET classes to access both MS Access and Excel datasources... it's works in pretty much the same way as the SqlDb classes when accessing a SQL Server database. The hard part is the connection, everything else is pretty much the same as importing/exporting data from other datasources... See these knowledge base articles if you need more information and sample code... HOW TO: Query and Display Excel Data by Using ASP.NET, ADO.NET and Visual Basic .NET - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q311731 HOW TO: Use the ODBC .NET Managed Provider in Visual Basic .NET and Connection Strings - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q310985 The last one is an example of connection strings for many different db types. It uses OdbcDb but can easily be changed to OleDb, if you please. steve
