• Quack! Install for Everyone Option not there

  All, After publishing my project and installing for the first time I was expecring an option of install for everyone or install as me only. But I never got one. I continued anyway and guess what when a new user logs on the machine they dont have the application. is there some setting i'm missing during the publishing phase so I turn on this option Cheers I can't find that 'everyone' option either. Can't find the option for installation path/directory either. MS screwed up good. If you ever figure out how to use these options please let me know. I will do the same. Hi, you're probably publishing your application using ClickOnce. ClickOnce-deployed app ...Show All

• Vedratna Simple VB.NET Question

  I am brand new to VB.NET (see green) after years of web design and development (primarily PHP/MySQL) and I have what is probably a simple question, but I wasn't even sure how to phrase it for Google search, so hopefully I can explain it clearly here... I have a VB.NET form with three buttons. I want each of the buttons to upon being clicked produce randomly chosen text from a list of maybe 10 responses and display it in a label on the form. EX: Click button 1 displays "Hello" Click button 1 again displays "Green" or something like that randomly chosen from the list Click button 1 again may display "Green" or "Hello" or "Banana" or something else from the list and so on...

• scottm87 NET SEND GUI

  Hi all. I am working on a net send/recieve utility. I can get the sending protion of the program to work, but cannot get the receive portion to display the received message in a textbox in my application. It always pops up like the standard windows message screen. How can I get it to display it my received textbox. Another question. Is there a way to stop the command box from flashing when I click to send a message from what I can see/understand you are "shelling out" the background net send utility. There wouldnt be a way to recieve back the input really unless it exposes some API. you can however redirect te input/output of that application but whether this will work when re ...Show All

• Blackchina79 Object.Recordset.Filter and BETWEEN

  I am sorry if this is the incorrect forum to post this in but I can't find any other that fits. I am using an ADO Datacontrol in my app. connected to a MS Access DB. I am trying to filter the data using the following: Object.Recordset.Filter = Filterstring The problem is I am trying to use the Between operator and I am failing. Here is the code as I have it. ado_ShipInfo.Recordset.Filter = "[Date/Time] = Between '2/1/2007 7:00am' And [Date/Time] ' 2/1/2007 3:00pm'" The above I know is incorrect. How would I go about doing this The delimeter for datetime is the # sign... ado_ShipInfo.Recordset.Filter = "[Date/Time] Between #2/1/2007 7:00am# And # 2/1/2007 3:00pm#" ...Show All

• z2171999 get { return (int)this["Attribute1"]; }

  Is the following the equivalent vb.net Get Return CType ( Me ( "Attribute1" ), Integer ) End Get Thank you, -greg I'm not 100% sure of this, but the example line you give is a shortcut way of reading a class attribute without instantiating a reflection class. I don't believe the shortcut method is possible in VB. To read a class attribute in VB use system.attribute.getcustomattributes(type), then you'd have to enumerate through the collection until you find the attribute named "Attribute1" what are you trying to access in "me" The syntax is not correct. get/set properties are defined as this in VB.N ...Show All

• Tom Roberts hiding the startup form

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to immediately hide the startup form on startup. The Me.visible = False and Me.hide() Methods don't work. I am trying to make a simple program that has a login form and the main form. When my program starts i want the login screen to appear and the main form to immediately disappear, then when the user clicks OK the login screen closes and the main form shows. Everything works except when the program runs both the login and the main form window appear and i can't seem to make the main form disappear, and for other reasons setting the login form as the startup form is not an option. Hope this is a simple fix. Connor If Form1.Visible = False Then Form1.Visib ...Show All

• Ultrawhack Uniquely identify an object

  Hi, I have asked this question on a number of forums, with no luck. So I hope you experts can help. Basically I have instances of the same object stored in many collection and other classes as well. Now when I am using the break points in the debugger, I am performing comparison to see if one object is the same as the other, I tend to use the ‘Is’ keyword. Now this will tell me if they are the same, but when are not the same and I am expecting them to be, I am having trouble working out what’s going on! Because I have object all over the place I would like a way to uniquely identify an object. In the debugger I have no idea which instance is what obviously they all look the same in the debugger window. I image I need somet ...Show All
