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.

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?

Ironically enough, in VB the double quote can also be used as an escape character when searching for it in a string.

FoxCon 2019

This year I had the privilege of being invited to FoxCon for the 5th time.  FoxCon is a private invite-only conference.  It was started decades ago when FoxPro was one of the products from Microsoft.  Although the product is no longer supported, it is still widely used and loved at many organizations of various sizes.  The FoxCon conference targets FoxPro related topics but the organizers are always open to hear new topics. This year I presented 2 sessions: "SQL Server Security"  and "New Features in SSRS 2017".  Presenting to a technical audience is something I have always enjoyed.  However, it seems much more enjoyable presenting to this group of tech experts. I look forward to attending and possibly presenting again next year.
