Thank you.  I will give it a shot.

I am following a video course where the instructor is using a MAC while I am using a PC.  He has used Homebrew to install the Mongo Shell Command.  But Homebrew is just for a MAC.  How do I install the Mongo CLI locally if I am using a PC?

Your lower-right pane says that your project wants an obsolete version of gradle. But the real details (stack trace) don't show, because instead of copying and pasting the text, you posted a screenshot, and the screen cuts off most of the error text.

If you could provide us with the full error text, we could be of more help, although I think you need to look into the gradle upgrade anyway.



Well, I tried changing the gradle version number by hand, meaning that I just edited the file, and I got the same error.  So I need to actually perform an upgrade.  Now, I think I need to upgrade two things...?

I carefully looked into all this and I found that it must have something to do with Gradle version.  Do you have any views or knowledge on how to updatge the grande and gradle plugin version?

This example code was taken straight from github.  I am confident that this code is supposed to build but I suspect something in the compiler of Android Studio has changed, updated, or with a newer version of the Android operating system something needs to be updated in the source code of an app.  This is because a build and/or gradle sync has this error immediately.  Nothing major has changed in the code.  I suspect this might be a common thing and I suspect someone must know something about this and how to fix it.  Please advise.

Please tell me how to update my computer hardware or software.

I am just starting on this journey to develop Android Apps using Android studio.

While running the Android Studio Setup Wizard, it concluded with this error:

Unable to install Intel® HAXM
Unknown Error
Please file a bug against Android Studio.


Please help, advise or offer suggestions.

I have been told that this error is because my computer is old or that Virtualization Technology was not enabled. I checked Virtualization Technology and found it is enabled.

Here is the information I have. And it seems that VT is Eables. So, what is next? Please advise.

What are Good Things to Know in a C# Interview?

Off the top of my head, I have come up with this list:

* SOLID mythodology.
* Dependency Injection
* Levels of Try, Catch, throw, and finally statements and how they work
* The tenants of Object Oriented Programming such as polymorphism, enacpsulation, etc.
* Unit Testing (are interfaces used somehow)
* The difference between an abstract class and interface
* garbage collection and when to override or overload it
* difference between override or overload
* Is there inheritance in C# ?
* What is an interface used for?

I am posting this here to see of anyone can add to this list.  I am asking about general topics, not specific interview questions.

This is using C# coded using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional

I have an XML file used as a configuration in my program that I am coding. The executable reads and writes to the XML file. So I would naturally like to have an automatic process where the XML file is moved from where it resides among of the source to where the compiled executable will be built. I imagine the moving of the xml file could be done during the pre-build or post-build process. And so, I tried adding some "xcopy" messages in the "Build Events" box that is found in the Properties setting of the project file. Another optioni, I assume, is to edit the project file by hand using a text editor. But I am not accustomed to the scripting language of this code. When I tried to type the pre-build commands I tried:


and the error during the Build is

This is using Microsoft Visual Stuedio version 2019 with C#.

If I want to add specialized code to a project shared by multiple software developers that is designed for my selfish tests and evaluation, how do I manage a # definition inside the C# code?

I imagine some soft of solution varable that is deined in either the project file or the solution file that I do not merge with the master branch of the code in the version contorl system.  And then this "# define" is somehow blocked out in the source file.

Has anyone experienced or used such a thing?

In a C# solution, how do I add an .EXE project to a solution of DLL project's?

This is using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional

I have been handed a solution file which contains three projects.  But all three projects generate DLL files.  It is kind of unique because I have uncovered that they contain XAML files.  So there is the opportunity to use the dll's to display WPF style UI as long as I properly create a new project for the solution.  And this is what I am asking.  What are the steps involved in creating a new project in the solution that is an executable and loads the DLL's and displays the UI'S?

I am starting a new coding job with a new client.
The problem I am having is that a lot of issues with namespaces that can not be found or maybe missing directives or an assembly reference.  This, I think, is a common thing.  So I am wondering where I can download a free DLL from Microsoft that will do the trick and get me to compile my code.  The class the code is using that the compiler does not like is "GeoPoint".
A quick search online offered using nuget to install the package Azure.Core.
So, how do I do this?  I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019.  I am looking for some direction.  Please advise.

On my work computer, I went to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ in my browser but it is blocked.  So, I am assuming now that I have to use visual studio itself to add new assemblies instead of using a browser.  Is that right or do I have to ask my administrator for access?

The page:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Core/
offers me another hint with "Package Manager"
I found under Project->Manage Nuget Packages..."   in visual studio but when i try to uplad a package I get an error message.

So, my manager said I fist need to download an assemply.

Please advise.
when I try to perform a git clone command I am propted to provide a password.
When I try the password that I had been provided, I get the following errors:

Connection colsed by (ip address) port (port number)
fatal: could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the connection access rights
and the repository exists.



Does this error sound familiar to anyone?  Is there anything outside the obvious that I need to check that I can not imagine?  I mean, this looks like a job for my network administrator or my supervisor or boss.  But maybe there is something I don't know.
I do not know from the online tutorial if I am properly establishing a connection with a git repository that is on a network.

All I have learned from a tutorial is how to set up a local repository, but getting data off of a network repository is knowledge I have yet to stumble upon or learn about and I wanted to save time by asking some online help forums.

I have just started using git after not using it for a while.
I have created a repository.
Then, as I was instructed, I made a “git clone” command which consisted of “git clone” followed by a path.
I expected this to get the contents of the path and put it into my repository – meaning the directory I made. This did not happen. What do I do?
How do I get a local copy of a remote work space for me to work on?

I am wondering if there is something like a "fetch" command I should be using.

The video tutorial I was looking at instructed how to make a local repository.  But if I am trying to get code from a network location, how do I go about making that happen?

I was instructed at my job to run this command (copied here in pseudo code)

git clone blah-blah:/blah/git/noogie/dork_monkey/

and when I did this grom git-bash it did not produce any errors which led me to think it was the command I needed to do.

But I did this from the local directory that I used

git init

to set up as a locak repository.

I assumed that typiing a "git clone..." command would have copied all of the files on the blah-blah server over.

But it did not.

I wonder if all this might have something to do with the fact that I need to get my network up and running first.

In my File File Explorer window, when I click on the "This PC" icon on the left, I can see I have five Network locationis mapped to drive letters.

But when I click on the Network icon I get an error.

Where is the SQL Server Database Trigger Wizard or Dialog Box?

This question is about SQL Server

In the past, I have created a stored procedure that was run on a timely basis by (if I remember correctly) a database trigger. As I recall, there was a wizard (dialog box with "NEXT" buttons) that I used to set things up to have the stored procedure run automatically. That was some time ago. Now when I search for database trigger information online, I find only information about -- creating triggers for when a table is updated or modified. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology and what I am looking for is not a "trigger" at all.

How do I set up IIS to debug classic ASP?

Help Needed Setting up Classic ASP Debugging

According to what I have seen on social media, in order for me to set up my computer for writing and debugging Classic ASP, I need to set up IIS a certain way -- which I did -- and then I have to enable ASP by doing the following:

IIS7 - IIS > ASP > Compilation > Debugging Properties > Enable Server-side Debugging

And I am stuck on this. Please, someone give me an idea of what I need to click on.

https://i.stack.imgur.com/xOwwt.png

I might be ready now to have a go at making my first "Hello World" classic ASP program.

I clicked on the help button and this lead me to a browser page which explained how to create an ASP page.

It has been a long time since I have done anything like this. Basically, I assume I am turning my desktop computer into a web server. Am I right? If this is so, do I have to follow through with all the overhead and steps in buying a namespace? I hope not.

I have questions about step 4 : "If you want to select a different application pool than the one listed in the Application Pool box, click Select. In the Select Application Pool dialog box, select an application pool from the Application Pool list and then click OK." As I type out the site name, the field for "Application pool" repeats what I type for the site name. Since I am not creating a new application pool -- or I do not want to -- I click on select and choose the DefaultAppPool .

Since I am only wanting to write test code locally, I connect as an application user.

I did not put in an IP address.

It complained that I was using port 80. So I switched it to port 79 and clicked ok.

So now I think I have an asp website. What do you think?
