  1. Re: [2005] format currency and date in query

    jmcilhinney is right, don't format the data retrieved from the query before entering it in the datatable, because then you gotta edit out the custom formatting to put it back in the database.

  2. Re: [2005] Windows Service Timer ! PLEASE HELP

    First things first, move your timer event handler out of the designer code file (i.e. to the Service1.vb file), it'll make development easier and it helps separate the fluff from the actual logic...

    Re: Windows xp security

    You can apply restrictions wherever you want to, but I strongly suggest you don't do it to All Users or their own account unless there's a good reason. Windows needs access to those folders and files...

    I don't think it would, what you'd probably have to do is copy the folders to the new server and create a batch (or whip up a quick VB program) to run through all the directories and reset the ACLs...

    Run it in a Virtual PC, see how that goes. Don't need to muck around with partition tables or any other nonsense that way.
  7. Re: [2005] Windows Service Timer ! PLEASE HELP

    If you're dropping the Timer component on to your service designer, then yes the event will never fire. Those several websites are correct, you need to use the System.Timers.Timer class, but the...

    Can you ping it? Can you open the WSDL in your browser? If no to either, then that's you problem, which the exception seems to hit at.
  9. Re: [2005] How many controls are too many?

    But if you want to edit the cells directly, a listview is not appropiate. A data grid allows editing cells directly, a listview means you need to insert forms and all sorts of other stuff to edit...

    That's what it sounds like to me. The 128MB dedicated is what the card offers, and the extra is shared system memory. Is this a GFX card for a laptop?
  28. Re: Which one is too bad, Pentium Celeron on IV?

    I wouldn't worry about this to be honest. Like Lord Orwell said, the operating system will manage all this for you, so if a program crashes, it's due to poor memory management on the OS part, or more...
