• Bradley Reynolds VB2005 Typed DataSet connection string

  I have Typed DataSet (ABC.XSD) and the Setting information (strCON) appears in the Property page as "User Id=AAAA;Password=BBBB;Server=CCCCC.WORLD" This places the information in the exe.config file where it is visible. What I'd like to do is remove the strCON in the Settings and place the connection string in a class (i'm guessing a partial class of the ABC.XSD) What do I place in the partial class rSchild, There are many ways to put your ConnectionString of database in your project. Write the connection string in config file is one commonly used method. However, you can also write your strCON in the program, such as a class file like your project: a partial class of the ABC.XSD.

• Jim Aksel Trouble parsing text to a treeview

  I am making a program that can parse a textfile to display in a treeview. I can figure out how to get it to show properly in the treeview. I am trying to make a way to edit the treeview and am having some problems. Here is a sample of what a textfile looks like Block One 00000000.0 Name Optional Text Description Now, the first line is a toplevel node with the text "One". The second line is the text of a child of "One" without the Description part. When the node is selected I want the description part to appear in a textbox. I cannot figure this out. Also, is there a way to move a specific node up or down in a treeview Thanks, Troy Hi Troy, Let's see if this ca ...Show All

• SnowJim Error Trap Failure

  Hi All, I trust that you all had a very merry Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year. I have just come across an error in my program that is baffling me and I don't know why this should be happening. I have 4 Combo boxes which have drop down lists too choose from. They refer to minimum and maximum diameters/speeds. If the minimum diameter or speed is greater than the maximum diameter/speed then an error message is called and when cleared the program jumps back to the offending Combo box and 'Sets Focus' on it. This works fine for the diameters but when the error occurs for the speeds the program runs on after the error is cleared. My coding is as follows: Tall Dude, It is strange that this kind of problem happens because the co ...Show All

• Melvinsb rfi library

  i am currently doing a project on rfid. I am suppose to do programming in vb.net 2003/ 2005 to connect the computer to the reader.which is a AR400 reader. Can i know whether i need to add libraries into vb.net before i can actually use vb.net to communicate with the reader if there is a need. where can i find this libraries thanks There are two questions to ask. Does the vendor of the reader provide any SDK or COMor .NET libraries to use there equipment. If they do then definately use these.

• baztheman How to use DLLs or APIs after you reference them?

  Referencing DLLs and APIs seems to be quite easy, but I have forgotten how to actually use them. I tried assigning them to a variable(after having it referenced as a type), but It didn't seem to work... Help Please :( dim myObject as SomeObject myObject = new SomeObject OR dim myObject as new SomeObject then use code like... myObject.method If you have add a dll as a reference you need to be aware of namespaces. You could fully qualify a name dim x as new system.windows.forms.textbox or you could put in Imports system.windows.forms Dim x as textbox By default some namespaces are included in you project - example being system.wi ...Show All

• Martin Mason anything that resembles Gosub?

  Can you make something in a sub that works almost like the gosub command I dont want to make a new sub and call that, cause i use a datareader and different variables in the current sub ( and i also would like to use a gosub command in the printdialog sub) Can you make a sub or fuction in the sub or something Any ideas While .Net does not have support for GoSub, there is still support for GoTo with some limits. Also, it's use is not recommended. Instead, it is much better from a program flow stand point as well as a maintenance standpoint to extract your sub routines into methods (that's why they are called "Sub"s). While VB does allow you to do the following, the compler might not gen ...Show All

• vivek.athalye Beginners question.

  Hi, when I use the HelloWorld example from the interop forms toolkit, everything is fine except if I try to add a new Public Sub. 1) E.g. I add the following code (while VB6 IDE is closed): in class HelloWorldForm after # Region "Public Methods" : <InteropFormMethod()> _ Public Sub newPosition( ByVal x As Integer , ByVal y As Integer ) Me .Left = x Me .Top = y End Sub 2) I open the vb6 IDE and start the main app. I press the "launch .NET form" button and see a modified .NET form, because I modified the form earlier in the .NET environment. 3) But if I edit the vb6 code re browse the objects in the object browser, I can not see the new Public Sub.
