Well tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for, Microsoft Vista is due on the shelves tomorrow.  I'm planning to go buy my copy at lunch so that I can get home with it and thing about installing. I've still not gotten a direct answer about the features that I need, so I still don't know what version I will be getting yet.  I've been trying to find out if the Home Premium has a local IIS and the Remote Desktop client so that I can still do my web development and access the servers, if it does then that's...

I run into an interesting issue this week that I needed to resolve, and I have to admit it was fun and interesting.  We were developing a Web Service for a Third Party interface to FoxPro free tables.  Initially we were going to do this by developing a VFP Web Service, but we found out that the Soap Toolkit is being dropped by Microsoft, and that to make it work on the server we would need to enable something that we didn't want to enable to make it work. Anyway, as I started writing the c# Web Service everything was going...

Well I run into an interesting problem today using c# to create a Web Service that accesses FoxPro Tables.  After getting everything in place, and getting the ASPX file to compile I started getting an ODBC error.  Turns out that when you install FoxPro it doesn't necessarily install the actual FoxPro ODBC Drivers, so you get an error when trying to call the open() method. I will say this, the more I work with .net the more I am liking being forced back to the Case Sensitive and Structured programming arena.  I didn't realize just how lazy my development had gotten. ...

The past few days I have not really been able to post much because I have been going through a FoxPro App screen by screen removing an Image Object, and 3 ShapeObjects...  The app only has 934 Form Objects, and you will probably never guess why I was doing all this work.... First off let me sat this application took me close to 6 years to develop to the point that it's currently at, I initially started off developing it with the plain old Grey on Grey w/ Black text look, but after getting tired of a friend badgering me about...

I know it's not the best thing to move your blog to a new site like this, but Google's Blogger could not do all the things that I wanted it to do so I started looking for a different one.  I found this blog software, and so far it seems to do everything I want it to do. Anyway, I have been sitting on this domain for about a year or so now, wanting to actually do something with it.  When I got it I had planned to use it more as a joke, and was going to just mess around...
