  Why Microsoft net team not introduce a managed recordset. This method of develop data-driven application in not depending from a technology (com-based dlls), but is a system to access the data. The syntax is more clear than cmd, parameters, insert. updates. When I've updated a table I close the cnn immedetiately!

• Johan Nordberg Windows Service ~ Service started successfully - NOT!

  Hi, I've developed an app as a windows service, which in the OnStart event calls an Init routine which sets up the service, check connection to dB etc, dump a log to the EventLog, and returns a True or False. If I get a False back, I execute a Me.Stop. In the event log, I see the log I dumped, then "Service stopped successfully.", then a "Service started successfully." message. It looks like these last two msgs are being output when the OnStop/OnStart events complete. How do I get my service to NOT output the "Service started successfully." msg when the Init routine fails, and instead output a "Service did NOT start successfully." or similar instead Many thanks ...Show All

• Patrick251 Form show unrequested

  To get some experience using VBE, I converted a simple program I once made for myself(VB5). It's a birthday calendar, using a VB5 commandbutton for each day of the year, i found that VBE has great problems handling this many controls, it is slow, very slow and realy unworkable. Some where else in this forum I found that others with a lot of controls experience the same problems and there is no neat solution for it. In the mid 80's the basicinterpreter was quicker than this VBE with a machine that is 2000 times faster. Another problem I have is that the main(start) form of the program shows up unrequested. In the load section of the (start)form I show another form from which I normally select whether I show the (start)form or not. The se ...Show All

• slies How to put text from a text box in to a picture box useing a command button?

  College Home Work. I have been told to make a programme that adds names to a picture box after you have typed them in a text box and clicked a command button. How ever if the name has a q in it the programme should end. Strange i know but it is college. Can anyone help Maney thanks in advance. Yes, this is easy - but I'm not doing your homework for you! First, search this forum - there is a simple method that is called from the Graphics object (there's your first hint!) that will draw the text for you. There is also a simple method on the String object (hint #2!) that can check for the existance of a char or sequence of chars within a given string. You can then "end" the program "if" the given string &q ...Show All

• VHBIL Creating a "grapical editor" for the end-user

  Hey, I've just started to use VB and I want to create a graphical editor box for the user to be able to interact with. Just a blank page where they can point to drop nodes and connect them with edges. This is to be acyclic and fairly complicated (a tree won't work) and user has to be able to edit each of the nodes (name, give them properties, etc), I'm thinking visually just a bubble or circle with arrows pointing will do the job. I'm sure there's something out there that'll do the job for me but I just can't find it, or I'm looking under the wrong name (is there something in the toolbox for this ) Cheers for your help, Gaff Um, it's called Visio. There may be something out there, but didn't you say you wanted to create ...Show All

• Swanands Connection To The Internet

  I want to write a Service that runs every 24 hours that checks for an Internet connection if the connection is connected then I want it to send out an e-mail.....I know i would use System.Net to do the e-mail part but how would i write the code to check for an internet connection Thanks but I think I am just going to use the System.Net.WebReponse and System.Net.WebRequest object and just check to see if my box can hit msdn.com or google.com and if it can its connected if not its not connected....What do you think about this approach But what if that web page was not available at that time, any why the example that I posted is helpful if you would have to check the conncetion state every one second for example to make a coun ...Show All

• mark.b Strict Color Data Types

  Hey, i know what the problem is here, but i don't know how to fix it! Texttxt.ForeColor = GetSetting("My_Program", "Program_Options", "Fore_Col-Col", Color.Black) It says that it won't work because Color.Black can't be a string. Now i know there's a simple way around this problem... But i'd also like to know how to prevent this type mismatch (i believe that's what it's called) from happening again with ALL data types. Can any one give me some magical web page with all the answers (and solve this) too please That's not the actual problem, it's saying that Color.Black can't be a string.
