• Agent_ MsgBox always return "no" regardless of what the user click

  I am using VS2005 and have a messagebox inside of an event that does not work properly. The code is below: If Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBox( "Do you want to save your changes" , MsgBoxStyle.YesNo) = MsgBoxResult.No Then Exit Sub End If The problem is regardless of whether the user clicks Yes or No, it always returns No. If I add another MsgBox in the code immediately before the if statement, then the if statement will always work properly. (see code below) Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBox( "Dummy MsgBox" ) If Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBox( "Do you want to save your changes" , MsgBoxStyle.YesNo) = MsgBoxResult.No Then Exit Sub End If I can't figure out what is wrong h ...Show All

• magcianaux Copying files over a network - best way?

  Okay, here goes... Machine A and Machine B are on the same LAN. There's a file, or more a series of files, in different formats on Machine A. On Machine B there is a Card Reader or USB type storage area. On Machine B, there is a .NET Application, not sure yet if it's going to be a smart or thin client. The job of the .NET App is to copy a file from Machine A to Machine B. Also, it would be nice if it showed a progress bar of the file coming across. I'm relatively new to .NET - any tips or ideas on the best way to go about doing something like this Mods - not sure if this is the correct area to post this thread in - please move if necessary Thanks again for the help Richard Ok I need ...Show All

• johnvarney IDE not responding to keyboard

  Hi Folks; Infrequently my code editor in the IDE quits responding to keyboard entries. This seems to happen after building a project more than a couple of times without running. What's happenning is I will attempt to make a code entry, but after the first character entered -- type of character doesn't seem to matter -- Intellesense will add a parenthisis and add its interpretation of what should follow. Then, if I try to backspace out of the parenthisis, the cursor simply jumps forward and reapplies the characters it wants. Doesn't seem to matter if I mouse over and cut or delete the characters; any attempt to make an entry results in this behavior. I cannot add any code on the form when this is occuring, and requires that I compl ...Show All

• Gravy Listbox - SelectedIndexChanged Question

  hello. A question please. When I fill the datasource property of my listbox, that executes the code of the selectedindexchanged event automatically. is there a way to avoid that in the begining (I mean when I load the datasource property of the list). Thanks... Or simply using a variable on the form which you can set and in the SelectedIndexChanged event the first thing you do is look at the variable and if its set to a certain value exit the sub otherwise do you processing - so the event is still firing but you are just choosing to do nothing until you want to process it. This is often done like this for stuff processed in the initial establishing of data on the form. So during the form load even ...Show All

• MingZhao Login via Access Database help

  Hi, I recently got VB 2005 and really like the new features. However, I am on an intermediate level learning Visual Basic. For a test project, I plan to create a login form that validates users through an access database located on a server. Basically, there is a set username and password in the access database and I want my program to execute the main program once the user is validated via the database. I was struggling on this for about a week, but I have no idea on how to do it. I can arrange the controls on my form, but I just need to know how to validate the users. Any ideas you need to strong name/type your assembly if you are running the app over the network. Take a look at this: ht ...Show All

• cdun2 datetime manipulation

  Hi there! I’m a newcomer, so I’m not sure this is the correct thread...sorry if it’s not... I have the following problem: I need to show in a windows Form the conversion from a normal dd/mm/yyyy shown in a date time picker to two textboxes (and viceversa). The first containing the day of the year (from 1 to 366) and the second the year itself (this oe is easy!). For example: txtdayofyear.text = "360", txtyear.text="2006" ->> Datetimecontrol.value="26/12/2006" My problem grows as i need to convert from one format to another in both senses, depending of what button the user presses. I have found a Date "dayofyear" funvtion, which gives me the partial solution, but I still don’t ...Show All

• gumtoo Generics, Collections, and Inheritance...

  I have an inheritance model as follows: Public MustInherit Class ProviderBase End Class "So, you are saying you should consider a collection as a type". Yes, List Of SomeType is in fact another type, a new type, that has nothing to do with SomeType. It's List that can contain items of type SomeType or any other types that inherit from SomeType. "What is the purpose of Generics then " Hmm... writing "generic" code List Of SomeType is one of the most common and useful things that Generics enable. Let's say we have 2 classes A and B. Let's also assume that there is no inheritance relation between them to keep things simple. Now let's suppose we need lists that can contain items of type ...Show All
