(VFP) - Amazing VFP Studio Code Editor in Visual Studio 2008

However, in order to provide a little more transparency and begin the process of getting feedback from the community I will be presenting a series of screencasts in the next few months. Here I present the first screencast in the series on VFP Studio's Code Editor. VFP Studio's Code Editor, which is made possible via a Language Service Bo Durban and I created in Visual Studio 2008, provides some significant enhancements when compared to the editor included in VFP 9.0 including outlining, Quick Info, Intellisense for user-defined classes, line numbers, word wrap, VS-style navigation bar, improved Code Snippets and various other features we are impleme

Configuring SQL Server authentication for MSDE and MS SQL Server

By default, when you install MSDE it is configured to support Windows authentication only. Windows authentication is usually not appropriate for web applications such as Enterprise Server, so you will have to override the default installation settings.

The following is a brief description of this process. For further information, refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q322336/EN-US/ I.
