• ming1127 Printing of dataset in excel (Windows application)

  YOz guyz! How can i print from excel the dataset 's data by the specific query only for eg... You have a couple of alternative - one may be to write the dataset contents to a CSV file which Excel can read and then load this CSV file into excel and using the Excel Object Model to print out the file. The other would be to create a specific excel spreadsheet by writing to the excel cells prior to printing it out. As for getting the data into either the csv or excel spreadsheet - you will need to iterate over the rows and columns to write the contents. THis is easily achieved using a simple nested for each construct for the rows and columns. Either way you are going to need to use the Ex ...Show All

• Mallikarjun n Channappagoudra Shared property works in VS2003, does not in VS2005

  I'm moving an asp.net program made in Visual Studio 2003 over to VS2005. I'm just creating the pages in VS2005 and copying & pasting code. I'm finding my Shared variables are not working in VS2005, as I get the error "Name 'Errors' is not declared". In the example below, I have the Class "Errors" (a web page, "Errors.aspx") which sets the property. Then I show the Sub addFootnoteToPDF() which is on another page (open.aspx); this makes a reference to the property in Errors.aspx. Can you see why this works in VS2003 and not in VS2005 Thank you!

• waywar405368 Retrieving values from DataSet/DataTable

  I have a DataSet with 5 DataTables holding selected fields from different tables. I want to know how to query a DataTable to retrieve any particular column value. Cos, I am using DataTable approach to load Fixed Values (Settings of my app. control panel) on app.load. I want to refer to these values on every calculation. Is this way correct Or, suggest. K, this should work for that purpose, however, there is a method I use for such purpose that I consider to be "cleaner" I assume you are using a tool to create your typed dataset, probably the one built into VS, but even if your not, this should work... Think of the typeddataset as a "base class" (we will call it SettingsBase). This should be your generated class, and ...Show All

  I have a school project, hope that you can help with my extra credit. I have to design a Database, which I have done but now I need to add a username and password.

If it's astring, then you will have to get around poor design. You could insert you date/time as a universal Date/Time string - yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss All cultures should int ...Show All

• Pouyan VisualBasic.Collection vs VBA.Collection

  Hi. I have ported a good chunk of my project from VB6 to VB2005. There is a VB6 COM DLL that I will not be porting over any time soon. I have a custom list class with an Add method that accepts a Collection (of strings). The list class can accept data from the COM DLL as well as Collections created within the project. Example; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = New Collection Col.Add("String1") Col.Add("String2") Call MyList.Add(Col) As well; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = DBEngine.GetListFromDatabase '//Where DBEngine is the COM DLL Call MyList.Add(Col) The problem though, is that now, under VB2k5, COM DLL's return a VBA.Collection Type, and the normal collection type is VisualBa ...Show All
