well guess what...your old programs probably still won't work on Windows 7, because Windows 7 is just Windows Vista "R2" :P

of course it's got XP Mode, but then your machine has to have hardware (CPU-based)virtualisation enabled. your CPU can have it but if your machine's BIOS disables it, it's still a no go (like in my laptop's case).

re: How do I DisCOUNT that Row?

Hi bonskijr,

I'll try your suggestions once I get home. One of the important things I have to consider is to still have reference to the item_id's. Will definitely try out your suggestion. Thanks!

Hi,

You can just change the LEFT JOIN to INNER JOIN or just JOIN(same as INNER) you'll get the result.

you can also reverse the JOIN to RIGHT if what matters is the count of the items.

re: Still hard to achive a flexible UI (Windows Forms)

there's a FlowLayoutPanel for .NET Windows Forms.

but you're a Java dev, right? I suggest you bypass Windows Forms completely and go straight to WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). I'm sure you'll like that, as it's very easy to create flowing layouts that adjust to different window/screen sizes and resolutions.

yep. if it doesn't fail first, you might think it's working when actually it was just serendipity ;) it should demonstrably fail, then pass; rather than pass now and fail later :P

re: Revisiting my fundamentals... Creating a new directory in cmd

cd - change directory

md - make directory

cd.. - changes your current destination folder lower (decrement)...

cd\ - goes to your root folder

cd nameOfDirectory - enters a directory or a folder

c: - goes to drive c. can simply change the c to d or even e to z. to change current directory....

dir - like the ls command for unix/linux console that list the current folders and files within the current directory.

/? - just add this in any command and you'll see every options and parameters you'd like to add to a certain command (ex. dir /? or even cd /?)

cls - clears the screen.

rd - removes the directory [the folder must be empty] (ex. rd EmptyDirectory]

attrib filename.txt +h +s - sets the current file as a system file and as a hidden file.

- you can also try -h or -s to set the filename.txt to restore or to unhide and set is to a non-system file...

ren filename.txt namefile.bak - renames the filename.txt to namefile.back

type filename.txt - shows the content of filename.txt

copy filename.txt c:\temp\ - copies the filename.txt to a path c:\temp\

(i dunno if this helps. hope it does hehehe).

@marl - If I could think of some more. :)

@modchip - Surprisingly, it's the same!

C:\>md /?

Creates a directory.

MKDIR [drive:]path

MD [drive:]path

If Command Extensions are enabled MKDIR changes as follows:

MKDIR creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed.

For example, assume \a does not exist then:

mkdir \a\b\c\d

is the same as:

mkdir \a

chdir \a

mkdir b

chdir b

mkdir c

chdir c

mkdir d

which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.

Iba ba yung command na "md dirname"?

marl — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:12:07 GMT

Since you already started this, you should create a series about this! Hell, yeah, we should go back to basics! Command line shell basics, anyone?
