Bad solution. Your code assumes that the operation will, forever, take under 5 seconds to complete. A better solution would be to try and open the file with DenyShareAll sharing permissions every so often, say 500 milliseconds, until the file opens. Then you'll know the file is finished writing, no matter how long it takes.

Normally, I'd reply that any working solution isn't bad, but this is a dirty hack and not a solution. The thing is that you notice that 5 seconds isn't always enough, so you extend the period to 10 seconds. That's kinda cool when the task usually finishes within half a second, leaving you to wait for 9,5 seconds every dang time. How often do you come across a place where the application is waiting, no disk-activity and no cpu-activity?
My train of thought departed from the application. What do you do when you can't change the code to send a message to signal an event? It didn't even cross my mind that one could check the object that the application is working on, I just kept thinking on the same track - where the problem arises.
In short, thanks for showing a better option than the quick-and-dirty 'solution'

Hello
Language VB.net Visual Studio 2005
This sounds like it's should be simple, but I've been working on it all night with no joy. Basically, I need to create a DataGridView on the fly and it will contain a column of various website addresses. However, if I use a HyperLinkColumn then I cant get the cells to contain the URLs. Either all the cells contain the same URL, or each cell contains the correct value - but there's no hyperlink. First top solve it get's a beer (as long as they're in Camden)
I've posted my project here: http://www.camdenconsultancyservice.co.uk/Test/Grrrrr.zip
I've pasted the code below ..... now I need to get some sleeeeeeeeeep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'---adding columns---
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("ID", "Product ID")
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Name", "Product Name")
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Description", "Description")
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Price", "Price")
'DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Website", "Website")
Dim HyperLinkColumn As New DataGridViewLinkColumn
Dim DataGridViewRow As New DataGridViewRow
With HyperLinkColumn
.Name = "WebsiteColumn"
.HeaderText = "Website"
'.DataPropertyName = "Website" 'this carries the values across
.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = True
'.ReadOnly = False
'.Visible = True
'.Text = "http://www.google.com"
End With
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(HyperLinkColumn)
For i As Integer = 0 To 4
'---create a row---
Dim item As New DataGridViewRow
item.CreateCells(DataGridView1)
With item
.Cells(0).Value = i
.Cells(1).Value = "Product " & i
.Cells(2).Value = "Description of Product " & i
.Cells(3).Value = "99.99"
'.Cells(4).Value = "http://www.evergreenhouse.co.uk" & i
'HyperLinkColumn.Index(i).Text = "http://www.google.co.uk" & i
'HyperLinkColumn.Index(i).Value = "http://www.google.co.uk" & i
HyperLinkColumn.Index
'MsgBox(.Cells(4).Value)
End With
'HyperLinkColumn.Text = "http://www.evergreenhouse.co.uk" & i
'---add the row---
DataGridView1.Rows.Add(item)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick
If DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).GetType Is GetType(DataGridViewLinkColumn) Then
'Open document by Process.Start().
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(DataGridView1(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value.ToString)
End If
End Sub
End Class

OK, this is some really ugly code. I'd recommend using a collection of some kind to hold your data rather than trying to put the data directly into the DGV yourself.
First, you're LinkColumn definition is completely screwed up. It should look something like:
Dim newWebColumn = New DataGridViewLinkColumn
With newWebColumn
' This is the column name in the datatable or
' the property name in the collection that this
' column will get it's data from.
.DataPropertyName = "ProductURL"
.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells
.HeaderText = "Web Address"
.ActiveLinkColor = Color.White
.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault
.LinkColor = Color.Blue
.Trackvisitedstate = True
.VisitedLinkColor = Color.YellowGreen
.Resizable = DataGridViewTriState.True
.ValueType = GetType(String)
End With
columns.Add(newWebColumn)

Start with a description of the things that it should be able to do, and the stuff that it's going to persist to disk

Crystal accepts data in many forms. Personally in like to collate the data into a typed dataset and then pass the dataset to crystal.
Writing reports with Crystal is a big topic all of its own, and there are many good books on the subject.

Sorry for that question sir,
by the way sir I'm a first year college student in philippines that
we have to create a simple hotel reservation system with
database.

You should try to Create Report by using PrintDocument Control.
Because CRYSTAL REPORT and Report Viewer are not sutable for VB 6.
Secondly you can use Microsoft Access Report Viewer for Generating Report.

hi... im trying to convert a code according to my list.. my list in a table are:
<folder> <portal>
C0014 SEJATI
BRT04 BRT01
MBS01 MBSB
MBS02 MBSB
C0015 SEJATI
when i call
convertCoop(coop, portal)
error "Value cannot be null.Parameter name: dataSet"
what does it mean?
Private Sub convertCoop(ByVal coop As String, ByVal portal As String)
Dim conn1 As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=10.0.0.70;User ID= sysadm;Password=sysadm;Initial Catalog=SPGA_Latihan;Persist Security Info=True;")
Dim comm As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter = Nothing
Dim ds As DataSet = Nothing
Try
Dim strSQL2 As String = "SELECT folder, portal FROM kodPortal WHERE folder ='" & coop & "'"
conn1.Open()
comm = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL2, conn1)
comm.Fill(ds, "kodPortal")
portal = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("portal")
conn1.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
If Not conn1 Is Nothing And conn1.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
conn1.Close()
End If
conn1 = Nothing
comm = Nothing
End Try
End Sub

It means you have no idea what you're doing. At a guess, it means that the parameter cannot be null. so, try Dim ds as DataSet = new DataSet()
From MSDN "[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example uses the SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter and SqlConnection, to select records from a database, and populate a DataSet with the selected rows. The filled DataSet is then returned. To accomplish this, the method is passed an initialized DataSet, a connection string, and a query string that is a Transact-SQL SELECT statement."
Did you bother to read the docs. The dataset needs to be initialised. You're getting an error telling you the same thing.

whether you check the dataset contain any row? First create a instance of dataset.

hey i have created my own custom property
the property is of type collection ,
it displays a form which allow the user to add a list of images and strings,
it stores the data in a collection ,
my problem is , i have noticed that after adding items to the collection at design time , there is no code generated in the .Designer file of the form and there for when i close the for / save it and reload it , all the items that i added to my custom property are gone.
my question , what did i miss here ? how do i make my custom property generate code at the .designer file for the items i have added to my property?
thanks.

You have to tag the public properties you want the designer to write code for with the DesignerSerializationVisibility attribute. Like this:
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible) _
Public Property MyControlProperty() as Integer
....
End Property
You can find the docs on the DesignerSerializationVisibility Attribute class here[^].

Your settings is a collection of arraylists ? Are you sure ?

i has about 20 different arraylist in it, just trying to remove a section out of each 1

Perhaps My.Settings is not a collection you can for each over, you can only access the values by name ? Or does My.Settings have a property that IS a collection, which you could use ?

well i had a look and could not find anything, sorry to ask this but can you give me a little more of a hint?

I am on my Mac, I'd have to go and boot windows to have a dig around for you. I really don't know what My.Settings returns.
The Property Grid can iterate over your settings, so there has to be a property. Just hit . after My.Settings and look through, there's got to be something, otherwise your other option ( as it appears to be a machine generated class from a config file ) is to use reflection.
