    1. 64-bit Version of Paradox for Windows

    Question: I wanted to check out if there was a 64 bit Paradox for Windows. I believe this database tool is excellent especially in defining a database.

    2. Naming Fields: Choose a Context Name

    Tip: When naming fields/columns in a table, use ONE name for the data in the field. For example, although states are called provinces and other names in other coutries, use one or the other in the database but not both. Use CompanyState, avoid CompanyStateProvince. Use labels in your website or program to switch context.

    1. Removable Disks - a brief overview & history

    Wherever would we be without portable, inexpensive removable media? From the old, eight-inch floppy, to the latest Blue Ray DVD format, little spinning disks have provided computer users with convient, off-line storage. This is a brief overview and history of the various disk formats that have come, gone, and are - for the moment - sticking around.

    3. Application.ProcessMessages

    I always found the sleep command in ObjectPAL very useful. The following code does about the same thing in Delphi. It makes use of GetTickCount which is a Win32 API call that retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started, up to 49.7 days.

    I would avoid having to re-cast the long-int in each iteration, and I would bullet-proof the tickmax value against a negative delay parameter.

    The ProcessMessages call assures the sytem responds to other processes during the iteration.

    procedure tutils.delay(const millisecondsdelay: integer);
    var tickmax: longint;
    begin
       tickmax:=max(0,GetTickCount+millsecondsdelay);
       repeat
          Application.ProcessMessages
       until GetTickCount>=tickmax;
    end;

    I have an windows application using a grid control.  I have set up user settings for each column of the grid to enable the user to determine various properties of those columns.  For example whether a particular user wants this column Visible or not.

    Everything works fine for this. But I have had many companies request ing the ability to deliver a standard set of user settings (meaning, they want all users to have the same columns properties).  Application Settings will not work as each company may want to have different columns properties, so they need to be able to modify these settings.  And other companies/users want the ability to have each user determine what column properties they want.

    So what would be nice is to tell them to set up one workstation with the column properties they want.  Then enable them to copy those user settings to different users.  Can this be done?



    Regarding...
    Storing your .NET Application Settings
    Storing settings and configuration information for your .NET application can be achieved in a number of ways including using the app.config file and the ConfigurationManager class, using the registry, and in your own custom configuration file.

    The Future of Paradox Blog

    Authored by , Posted By mprestwood
    If you're still using Paradox for any of your business database applications, you need to put a plan together now for converting to another development tool or at least understand what the future is likely to hold. If you're a power-user or researcher working with data, stick with Paradox at least for now.

    Microsoft plans to discontinue sales of Windows XP on June 30, 2008. Because XP is a tried and true OS, and because of numerous problems with Vista, many users and IT departments would prefer to stick with XP. InfoWorld has an initiative to keep XP alive indefinitely. You can help.

    If you've used computers for more than a few years, you know that you don't wonder IF a hard drive will fail - you wonder WHEN. It just happened to me - again. But this time it looks like the results will be pretty painless. The reasons? * RAID Level 1 * Superb Hard Drive manufacturer warranty support
