Hello All,
I am about to start a new job and one of my first tasks will be to port an
old VB (for DOS) application to VB.net. I have quite a bit of experience
with VB 6.0 and no experience with VB.net (or VB for DOS). This application
requires communications with external devices over the serial port (RS-232).
I have written applications with VB 6.0 that perform serial communications
over the serial port using the MSComm control, and I am quite comfortable
using the MSComm control. I've read that ActiveX is not supported under
VB.net, therefore I assume that the MSComm control will not be supported.
The application needs to be capable of running on Win9x, Win2K, WinMe and
WinXP. Here are two basic (no pun intended) questions:
What OS'es support VB.net applications?
How does one access the serial port (RS-232) using VB.net?
Thanks in advance!

Sure they are.
The application needs to be capable of running on Win9x, Win2K, WinMe and
WinXP. What OS'es support VB.net applications?
VB.NET applications run on Windows 98, ME NT4, 2K, XP and 2K3. They do not
run on Windows 95.

I'm having some trouble with VB in Access 2000. I have a form that the
user enters in just one number (in this case, it's a base salary) and
then the program is going to do a bunch of math (which is not all
shown) and populate a table with these new, calculated salary values.
I know I shouldn't be storing calculated values in the table, but I
have to have these numbers in there as a lookup too.
Anyway I think I might be getting too...

I have some code that adds new records into a table for each ID in a list
box when a button on a form is clicked. This works fine. My problem now is
that I wish to be able to edit all the records for people whose ID is in the
list box. I made minor changes to the code (mainly replacing rs.AddNew with
rs.Edit)and it appears to be updating only the first record and then
overwriting that record with the next, etc until it runs out of ID's...

I have some simple code see below.
I have response written out the query and it is valid and returns values
when ran directly against my db, which is Oracle. My OS is Win 2003.
My question is I never get to the point of the loop. It always thinks I am
at the RS.EOF. Similar code works in other asp pages on the same server.
How do I debug this or am I missing something obvious??
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
