What are the minimum properties to set and code required to get a repeater or datalist ('lookless' controls) to show up? I follow the examples in the book as best I can, considering I'm using a different database, but they still show up invisible.

I think I am going nuts over this .NET thing.
As far as I can tell, the MSDN documentation is just wrong. There is no such thing as a listbox.refresh method, nor is there such a thing as a listbox.multicolumns property, as just two examples. The docs say there is, but VS.NET gives me a compile error.
I have this wretched,sinking feeling that my confusion lies in the difference between ASP.NET programming and Visual Basic.NET programming.
Is it possible that listobx behaves two completely different ways in each? Is it possible that MSDN doesn't bother to clarify the language context of its instructions? Is it possible that not being able to filter results for one vs. the other (VB.NET vs. ASP.NET) in searches is an awful idea?
I am very frustrated.

Yes, they do behave differently. The Windows.Forms version supports a .Refresh() method, where the WebForms version doesn't. The .Refresh method just redrwas the control and it's contents in Windows Form. This can't be done on a browser version. The browser version is just a wrapper for an INPUT tag in HTML.
ListBox[^] control in ASP.NET, or WebForms.
ListBox[^] control in Windows Forms.
If you scroll up the navigation pane on the left, you'll see which namespace these controls are under. System.Windows.Forms contains all the standard Windows Forms controls, while all the standard ASP.NET, or WebForms, controls are under System.Web.UI.WebControls.

Arg. OK, I'm giving up on all the OledbConnect and SQLConnect examples, and sticking with ADO.

OleDbConnect and SqlConnect aren't part of the .NET Base Class Library or ADO.NET. Where did these come from?
And, they don't have anything to do with your original post, so I'm afraid I'm lost.

"OleDbConnect and SqlConnect aren't part of the .NET Base Class Library or ADO.NET. Where did these come from?"
They are controls available to me it VS.NET when I am designing ASP.NET or VB.NET apps, and used in the tutorials and samples I'm reading in these ASP.NET and VB.NET books and at MSDN.
I'm sure if I read the books and MSDN website page by page, it will explain the difference. I guess I can't just presume that prior VB and ASP knowledge would have saved me from this confusion.

OleDbConnection and SqlConnection are objects, but not OleDbConnect or SqlConnect.
I never use the database controls in the ToolBox. I always code my database stuff by hand. It gives greater control and you don't have to worry about code being generated that you can't see without going into the "Windows Form Designed generated code" region. Do it by hand and everything is in one place.
ADO.NET is strickley for database access. ASP.NET is a server-side HTML generation technology.

Forgive me if this is turning into a .NET tutorial, but it is very helpful to me...
So, does that mean all your code is on the .ASP page, not in the codebehind page? Is there *anything* on the codebehind page?
I confess I am confused about the relationship between the ASP page and the codebehind page in terms of what exists on each. I tried mapping one to the other, but some parts are there and some aren't. Is it possible to code ASP.NET pages without any need for a codebehind page?

Everything VB.NET is in the codebehind file. Everything HTML is in the .apsx file.
The VB.NET code controls what happens when you use the controls on the HTML page. It's very similar to what's going on in Windows Forms. You see the Designer that lets you place the controls on a form and the "codebehind" that lets you attach code to the control's events, like "click".

I see Visual Basic code in aspx pages in the examples. Is this not generated from the code window?
Also, when I write Visual Basic in the code window, it creates HTML/ASP/VB in the HTML page.
Are you saying that if I write everything in the HTML page, there will be nothing (or at least, nothing of consequence) in the codebehind file?
I guess I should try this so I understand it better, it just seems like I'm throwing away many of the features of Visual Studio.
Is it possible that the relationship between Visual Studio and html pages is equivalent to something like FrontPage and html pages? i.e. Frontpage is easier for designers, but it blows as far as writing clean code. I never use WYSYWIG HTML editors - I always use Homesite (which doesn't mangle code).

No, it tells you at the top, when it tells you the namespace of the control you're reading about.

I am trying to search through a dataset using a
while League.Tables(0).Columns(0).Table.Rows(count2).Item(0) <> Winner
end while
Winner is a string, as is whatever may be contained in the datatable. So how do I get it to execute the while loop until the text in the table "Does not equal" the text in the Winner string?

Are you incrementing count2 in that While loop?
Do While League.Tables(0).Columns(0).Table.Rows(count2).Item(0) <> Winner
.
.
count2 = count2 + 1
Loop

If you want to execute UNTIL Winned DOES NOT equal the text, you want to execute WHILE it DOES equal the text. So...
while League.Tables(0).Columns(0).Table.Rows(count2).Item(0) = Winner

I keep getting the following error message in my vb.net code:
"Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0."
I get the message when I refer to a class from a web form, when this code runs:
oPolicy = New Policy
oDR = oPolicy.GetPolicy()
I am calling the function GetPolicy in the Class Policy.
Anyone nay ideas.

Policy is a namespace in the .NET Framework, not a class. .GetPolicy is also, not a method of any class in the .NET Framework.
You'll have to copy and paste the code snippet here. You haven't provided enough information to help with your problem. What is the Policy class?

I have 4 text boxes
Textbox1, Textbox2, Textbox3, textbox4
Textbox4 is readonly and you can enter values in textbox1,2 and 3
What do I have to do so that when a value is entered into textbox1,2 or 3 it is automatically updated in textbox4
|
|
|
|
|
Handle the TextChanged event of all three textboxes. Convert the text in each TextBox to a number and add them together, putting the result in TextBox4. Something like this:
Private Sub ValueEntered(...) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged, TextBox2.TextChanged, TextBox1.TextChanged
Dim Value1, Value2, Value3 As Double
Value1 = Double.Parse(TextBox1.Text)
Value2 = Double.Parse(TextBox2.Text)
Value3 = Double.Parse(TextBox3.Text)
TextBox4.Text = (Value1 + Value2 + Value3).ToString()
End Sub

Hello
Can anybody tell me of any OCX's or some other stuff that I can use in vb6 to convert a series of (pair of) jpg and wav files into an avi file. Please, if u mention of some thing , make it sure that it is not a shareware version.
Thanx

What's better to create a compact and reusable code: an OCX or a Dll ?

That depends on what environment it's going to be used in.
If your using it exclusively in .NET Framework apps, then a straight .DLL would be better.
If your code is going to be used by COM-based clients, like VB6 or Internet Explorer, then an OCX implementation would probably be better.

Yes, that's the item. I'm planning in a near future to migrate several OCX made with VB6 and used in VB6 applications to .Net platform. There's no Internet apps involved but, from my point of view, the advantage of making them in OCX is that they are encapsulated and the look and feel is with the component itself and in a Dll, this l&f, could be implmented, but it's not so obvious and visible under design stage.
The apps where this components will be injected will be also migrated to .Net (I already don't know if it'll be VB, VC++ or C#).

When using an .OCX (COM component) in the .NET Managed world, you're not actually getting a completely self contained component. To use the COM component, you have to have Interop .DLL's as a bridge between the managed and unmanaged worlds. These will show up in your .EXE's Release or Debug folders as AxInterop.*.dll and Interop.*.dll. Theses .DLL's MUST ship with the .EXE, so you're not really getting a completely self contained component.

So, if I want to make a full self contained component what is the alternative?

Again, that depends on the environment you're targeting. If it's going to be used soley in a .NET environment, then a standard control project (targets to a .DLL) will work.
If you're targeting other environments, like VB6, then an OCX would work better. If you target a COM based environment, you just can't get around the registering issues without sacrificing some of the environments your component can support.
