Base Class Libraries
System
System.CodeDom
System.Collections
System.ComponentModel
System.Diagnostics

Developers can now step through the code in Debug mode. However the code is for viewing purposes only and cannot be changed. This feature is relatively simple to setup in Visual Studio 2008 and only takes a few minutes to setup. Shawn Burke has a detailed blog post that covers the exact steps here.

Sam: Thanks for posting this. However, as Anita pointed out last evening in the SIG meeting, the link for the download on Shawn's page appears to not work. I looked into it this morning, and think I have identified the problems. It seems that the https:/connect.microsoft.com site (that is hosting the download) uses SSL 2.0, and default setup for IE7 does not allow that version (only allows SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0). You can change this by going into IE, Tools menu, Options, Advanced tab, scroll down to Security section, and make sure "Use SSL 2.0", "Use SSL 3.0", and "Use TLS 1.0" are all selected. Click OK, and refresh your page and it should work.

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...

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.
