• Michal Laskowski To Microsoft staff about vbNull.

    Hi, Why is vbNull not Chr(0) instead of "1"  or = System.DBNull.Value See>> Dim s As String = Chr(0) MsgBox( " String 's' is = " & s) or>> Can yourselves not make it the default value for a string instead in future versions of Visual Studio please Dim s As String = System.DBNull.Value.ToString MsgBox( " String 's' is = " & s)  I presume Chr(0) = System.DBNull.Value.ToString   See also http://asciitable.com/ about Chr(0)   Regards, S_DS   You are mixing stuff up here! DBNull.Value is something completely different. That is NULL in the database (means NULL of a member of a relation). If you want to set a string to&nbs ...Show All

• Wayne Sepega What are some tips for converting VBA to VB.NET

  How would I convert this VBA statement to VB.NET ReDim Preserve GroupNotes(0 To GroupNotesLast) As GroupNoteStats Thats a pretty conveluted VBA statement with the declaration and redim in the same statement But "redim" and "preserve" are keywords in .NET...the "Group" stuff is identifiers so the correct VB.NET syntax would look something like this: Dim GroupNotes (5) As GroupNoteStats Dim GroupNotesLast As Integer = 10 ReDim Preserve GroupNotes (0 To GroupNotesLast ) redim is re-dimension, in other words extending the length of the array I believe (been ages since ive done VB6/VBA) ...Show All

• Philipp Konradi ListView Key Update Possible?

  Is it possible to update the key of a listview I can add and delete items, but update would be cleaner, if possible. Thanks Yes you can, the ListViewItem.Name property (misnamed a bit) is the key for the item and can be assigned. For example, this code works fine: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click With ListView1 .Items.Add("key0", "Test", -1) Dim item As ListViewItem = .Items("key0") item.Name = "key1" item = .Items("key1") Debug.Print("{0}", item.Text) End With Thanks!

• cdx11356 Textbox Focus From Form Load

  I am trying to focus a textbox when the form loads. Although TextBox.Focus() works with most events, It do not work when in form load or activated. I would be grateful for help Many thanks for your prompt response. I have tried the alternatives you suggest without success. It’s important for user friendliness to have an input textbox focused when the forms loaded. It would be surprising to say the least if MS development engineers have omitted this. In vb6 setfocus worked fine. Help Please. Setting the tabindex would presumably ruin the tab order on your form. Have you tried setting the tabindex = 0 TabIndex = 0 works, so do ...Show All
