• Alle migration from TrueBasic

  I All I have the following conversion problem.  In TrueBasic (an old structured Basic) nested routine were allowed. Look, for instance, the the following Module main       Sub XXX() Dim a Sub ZZZ() Dim b End Sub End Sub Sub YYY()       End Sub End Module     In the above fragment the variable "a"  and also "b" are seen from both XXX and ZZZ( this last is the nested procedure) but not from YYY. I do not succeed in reproducing this behavior in VB.net but I know that with all that power ( class, structure , module,etc) it is surely possible.

• Boris Zakharin Date to string

  Hi all i have taken a textbox named txt_date where date will be entered. now when i save it into microsoft sql server 2000 it saves one and only date "10/01/1900" though i enter any date in txt_date.text(textbox) now i think i would have to convert the value of txt_date.text in to string from date format. Can anyone pls tell me command line for the same... or there is any other way to save value of txt_date.text directly without converting... thanks & Regards Vimal What do you mean converting the value of a textbox into a string from date It's already a string. The SQL server expects dates to be formatted in a distinct way. If it saves 10/01/1900 no matter what date you input (if you do), it is probab ...Show All

• Matt Deane I need to add Time to DB not DateTime

  Hi, In SQLServer the table contain Filed type is DateTime to store time. when I tryed to add time to this field the dataset convert my time (HH:MM for example) to DataTime (yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS for example). What I want is to store pure time (HH:MM) only not date and time. Regards Hi .Net uses a TimeSpan structure to store times .. that is the TimeSpan represents the number of ticks since midnight. You could look to store the ticks in the database rather than a string (takes less storage space, faster to work with etc). eg Writing to database ..... = time.Ticks .... note time is of type timespan ... eg maybe derived from myDate.TimeOfDay Reading from database .... time = new ...Show All

• mig16 Best Practices

  I was self-taught in programming client/server programs a long time ago. I'm to the point where I'd like to really follow some best practices where I think I am currently not. Please answer me a few questions. 1.) If I have program where certain parts are role based (such as users can only access certain reports depending on their level), do I assign global variables when the user loads the application or do I call the database at the time they try to access the report. In a sense, what are the best practices regarding global variables 2.) I use classes alot for processing data (encryption classes, validation classes, etc) But I don't use classes for storing data.

• project2n5e0o1 VB6 interop to .NET webservice client

  I have generated a C# client .dll for a .NET webservice. I did this by adding a web reference in VS and edited the .cs file. I have added interfaces and attributes for COM interop. I have it registered on a Win2k machine and cannot access it with VB6. Of course VB6 Intellisense works fine (I'm assuming due to the interfaces). When I run the app, it pukes with 'ActiveX component can't create object'. I understand this to indicate a registry problem, but I've done many REGASM's and GACUTIL's. I have seen many examples of VB6 to webservices, but they all use the MSSOAP3.0 toolkit. I have successfully accessed the webservice with the MSSOAP3.0 toolkit. Is it even possible to hack a VS generated webservice client .dll, and has anyone got an ...Show All
