These methods use the GetFormat method of types that implement the IFormatProvider interface to obtain an object that supplies information used in the formatting or parsing operation ...Show All

  Hello, A question please. I have 2 environments of working. TEST (this is for tests only) and PRODUCTION (this is my release distribution). Now, for example, I create 1 dll that opens my connection. 2 different connections. I'd want to open my connection depending on if I am testing (on TEST environment) or if the program is running on the customer PC (PRODUCTION environment).

• Pramod S Kumar using OLE Automation (GetObject) in a web service

  Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum :-\ I am having trouble using the GetObject method to access the "handle" of an application through a web service. What I have working right now is the ability of a regular Visual Basic .NET program to access and control the program. ExtendApp = GetObject(, "Extend.Application") That works fine and dandy through a Visual Basic Application. I need to port this code to WSDL. The web service is on IIS on my local machine, as is the application I am attempting to control (Extend).

• Telexer Choices for local data store in a VB.Net project?

  Hello, Just wondering what the preference out there is when it comes to using a database for a local data store in a vb.net client application... The application will store from approximately a 1000 records and up, and is used to import and export data to SQL server. I have completed an app using SQL Express as a backend, but do not find it flexible enough in terms of backing up data, or even having to make a change in the table. I'm finding that when a change is needed to be made in a table, and I have to republish the app, it sends over a new database wiping out all the data that was previously stored on the local machine. Where as if I used something like Access, I could go in and just add a column to a table... What are you ...Show All

• sunrunner Trying to write a general save function

  Hello, I'm trying to write a function using VS2005 that will take an untyped Collection of Objects, output the toString to a file for any basic Object it finds and then recursively call itself on all of the Collection types it finds. Trouble is, I don't really know the best way to set up an "isCollection" function and wondered if anyone here could help me out. Any suggestions Hi, Why not simply document your project and add comments into your code too Especially as the project will be maintained by someone else.
