Visual Source Safe 2005

November 7th, 2005 was the official release date for the Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, and the less talked about BizTalk. Combined within the VS suite is the latest release of source safe, Visual Source Safe 2005, used to manager source code versions. The new release of VSS has not been talked about much, not even by the MS team that developed the product. So in an effort to do the new VSS release some justice, listed below is a brief summary of the new features.
  • Remote access using HTTPImproved LAN speeds, especially when used with Visual Studio
  • Data storage has increased to 4GB
  • View file history date/time, with respect to local time zone
  • Allows third party plug-ins/editors for comparing source code and document differences.
  • Managed Code Extensibility that allows better integration with Visual Studio 2005
  • Unicode and XML supportProject Enhancements that allow synchronizing renamed or deleted files within VS.

Using VB Script to display part of an IP address

Q: How can I use VB Script to display the first 3 octets in a TCP/IP address? A: Since IP addresses are not fixed length, you will have to count the number of separators before you can extract the octets. With that said, listed below is the sample VB Script code. strIP = inputbox("Enter an IP Address for testing to extract the first 3 Octets:") intLastDecimal = 1 For intCounter = 1 to 3 intLastDecimal = InStr(intLastDecimal, strIP, ".") + 1 Next iNewLength = intLastDecimal-2 strNewIP = Left(strIP, iNewLength ) MsgBox "strNewIP=" & strNewIP To run this code, simply copy and paste it into a flat file and name it with a .VBS extension.

Working with double quotes (") in VB.Net

String manipulation in VB2005 is fairly simple. However, things can get a little tricky with the double quote character. How do you look for it in a string? How can you insert into a string? How do you remove it from a string? These are questions that may lead to confusion if you don't know what you're looking for. Ironically enough, in VB the double quote can also be used as an escape character when searching for it in a string. For example: Dim strTest As String strTest = """123""" 'Displays "123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = """""123""" 'Displays ""123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = "test\""test" 'Displays test\"test strTest = "test""test" 'Displays test"test In cases where you want to insert a double quote character, simply reference it unicode character designation, ch
