• kyus94 I am new at this, but I need to create a delimited file from (DGV)

  I am populating a datagridview which has 5 columns from a Oracle database.  I am using Visual Studio 2005, and it is a VB app.  I need to export the contents into a "|" delimited file.  I haven't found a good example of how to do this.  I do not need to open the file in Excel or anything.  Just need to create it.  I don't have to use a DGV, if it is simpler or better to just create the file from the tableadapter or create an array I can do that.  Just need some advice on how to get this done.  If someone could give me an example of how to do this I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks I think the following links will be helpfull: http://steveorr.net/articles/ExcelEx ...Show All

• Leonard Lee Winsock Question....

  I have to build a VB 6 program that (i'm guessing) sits on a server and "listens" for messages coming in on a particular port that are in an ISO format.  I have a pretty strong VB background, but have never done any programming on this level.  I'm looking for any input on what my best angle would be to handle this.  My problem is that I have no idea where to send the information back.  In looking at Winsock documentation, it looks like I could create a TCP or UDP app, but these look like I have to have a client on the other end.  I'm only writing the piece that sits on one location, and I'm not sure where the info is coming from.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks ...Show All

• viliescu reading information in files

  Hello again, I am looking for some help on accomplishing a certain task with VB2005 Here is what I want to do: I have a program that creates many, many files, I would like to be able to search those files for a specific piece of info contained in them and then evaluate it against a user set variable. For instance, I need to find a sting like this Z=-0.25, the user sets a numeric updown to let this program know what the smallest 'z' value can be, lets say -0.24. Since the above string is smaller than the numeric up down value, I need a message box to pop up showing that this file contains info that can hurt their machine. This is the code that I have so far: Private Sub btnRead_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Syst ...Show All

Hmmmmm. Mouseover is a control event. The didn't fully identity the kind of dropdown so I assume you are talking about a toolstrip dropdown Toolstripmenuitems do have mousehover events so I might try the following pseudocode: Since I don't know much about your application I'm going to pretend as if you have a string array (SA) that you are loading from dor the purpose of an example.

• Sarosh79 A C# project with a VB project [Express]

  Hey. I have an old project from an older version of Visual Studio that uses a .vbproj and a .csproj in the same solution. I need to update the .vbproj file to add extra information, however whenever I open it in VB studio express it cannot load the .csproj, and visa versa. How can I do this I apologise if this question is extremely stupid, I do not have much experience and it seems the project has been terribly coded (only updating someone else's old project, with permission) I can supply the source code if needed I feared that. Is there no other way the express editions are seperate environments for VB.NET and C# - you can't load both solutions in 1 IDE.
