Code beautifier or formatter can help you format the code so it can be easily understood. Sometimes we forgot to indent code correctly and it’s so hard to understand even if you are the programmer.

A lot of you may encounter the error “overflow error 6” during code execution. This problem can occur if you use an integer data type in your variable. Int or Integer data type can handle only up to 32768 value. Meaning if you exceed on this limit an overflow error 6 will be thrown.

In the hope to help programmers around the world, I would like to encourage everybody to please use English language as the only language to write comments and even submitting of Post (source code, articles, tutorial, blog, forum, etc) in this website. This will enable other foreign countries from understanding your post/comments.

I would like to announce that sourcecodester.com has moved to a new server. This time we are now on a dedicated server powered by Hostgator.com.

For the past few days, sourcecodester.com has faced a downtime due to high volume of traffic. In my hope to give you a great service, I decided to move to a dedicated server.

If you are a student and would like to use Visual Studio 2008 or 2010, you do not need to buy the software. The software is free of charge if you are a college student.

Just logon to DreamSpark and verify your account and download the software that you’d like including Virtual PC. You can even download Windows Server 2003 and a lot more.

In my previous post - Download Crystal Reports 2010 for Visual Studio Now - I announced the release of Crystal Reports for VB.NET 2010.

When you try to convert RDLC Report from VB.NET 2005/2008 to VB.NET 2010, you will encounter an error “The definition of the report 'Main Report' is invalid”.

This error is caused by a wrong version on the Project Reference. The work around on this is to remove the two references:

Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms

Just this May 2011, LulzSec hacked pbs.org followed by Sony Pictures. LulzSec or known as Lulz Security, a computer hacker group, hacked another website this month and stole 180 passwords from Infragard.net.

Last October 2010 I wrote an article about Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010. I am eagerly waiting for the release of this great reporting tool for Visual Studio. Finally, you can download it now for free.
