Visual CE Sandbox

Based on some problems Doug was having with Visual CE yesterday I made a
small 2 table/2 form demo of how to jump between a parent and child and pass
vaules. This sample is available from a new repository I've created on my
subversion server.

How to access it:
1.Download and install the subversion client for windows - I use
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org 
2.Reboot 
3.Email me for the local network URL and so I can add permission for your
account to access it.
4.Create a folder on your machine where you like: Mine is called "Sandbox"
and is in my development area of my computer.
5.Right click on the new folder and click "SVN Checkout"
6.Paste the URL into the "URL of repository" box and click the OK button

You now have a local copy of the repository, have fun.
For more information on how to use the system see the help file of
tortoise(acces through right click menu or start menu) and the Subversion
book online http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Good luck and let me know how it goes,
Alex

Equipment List Interest & Proposal

Interest has been expressed in the equipment listing page I created
recently.
http://www.cdfg-rap.net/applications/development/equipresearch/equiplist/

To make it more widely accessible and allow greater departmental
participation I have a few ideas that I would like to propose and get
feedback on.

Option 1:
Relocate the page/pages to a more prominent part of the site(I'm looking
for suggestions as to where), maybe
http://www.cdfg-rap.net/applications/equipment/
Allow everyone who has site access to modify the documents in this area.
Turn on commenting on the page to allow non-authenticated users the
ability to submit suggestions for inclusion.

Option 2:
Create an internal department wiki to document equipment usage.
A few examples
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportRecommendedHardware?highlight=%28Hardware%29 

http://wiki.python.org/moin/

(Note this last site is a demo for a seminar I participated in, I ask
that you don't circulate this beyond the scope of examples)
http://cain.nbii.org/calgeo/wiki/FrontPage
This option may be feasible in the next few weeks with the new servers
that Tracy Love is working on right now.

stand alone database for data entry

Hi,
I think this may have already been discussed, but I forgot what was said on
the subject. I have folks here who have completed their field season using
paper forms. They will be entering data into digital format soon. I want to
get them to enter the data into the RAP database or something similar that
can be integrated with whatever standard we're working on. Is there a
database already in place for manual data entry?

Thanks,
Charlotte

Has the full RAP Geodatabase, one thing though is that there are little to
no forms for data entry into access since RAP has focused on the PDAs.
In the past we have made a few or just set up a few pages in excel that
match the tables needed and had them fill it out that way and import.

On another note there is also a page about what variables I have used for
what. If you intend to try to make stuff compatible or use RAP try to fill
in this page when you use a variable and try not to use the same variable in
a lot of different ways.

Intro to Subversion

I just came across this free narrated slideshow on the basics of 
Subversion. I think it does a good job of explain the why and how of 
version control and what makes this particular software solution better 
than some other options.

Re: Visual CE Sandbox

Alex,

The Jump box problems that I was having seemed to be caused (but I can't say for sure) by using something other
than @var(0) for my key field value, i.e., jump field value.

On another note...Just a quick update...I found a solution to the problem that I spoke of last time we talked
over the phone (in part it uses the tip that you gave me) regarding visible drop down lists that are based on
variables, i.e., saving to and restoring from hidden field values based on drop down list selections:
Basically I used macros to 1) Store the list value, 2) Save the record, 3) Move to a new record, etc., 4) And,
update the drop down list value (for the record just moved to) based on the hidden field value. A visible
button like previous, next, new, etc. initiates the macros...lots of macro buttons but it works.

Re: Visual CE Sandbox (jumping...)

Just a follow-up...the jumping problem that I was having appears to be the result of using the same variable
for different forms. Apparently, just because one form is closed, and another opened, the variables are
not recycled, i.e., they remain in memory until cleared...I'd assumed that closing a VisualCE form
resets any variables used by the form...not so.

Guess I didn't get that from talking to you. I've noticed this and hence
  have a list of my variables, so that if I choose to reuse one it's for
the same purpose on different forms.
Here's my list:
http://www.cdfg-rap.net/applications/development/folder.2006-05-31.2832194480/document.2006-05-31.3161993830/document_view

I think if we jointly develop forms that one of the 1st things to do
will be to reorganize the variables and clarify their purposes so that
we all know what's going on.
