Setting the font of the Form will not change the font of the controls on it. (Each control will have it's own Font property.) It only changes the font of the titlebar and any text directly written, using only certain methods, to the form surface itself.

Also, you change the Font by creating a new Font object, not specifying a string. One possibility is:

myForm.Font = New Font("Tahoma", 8)

The Font class has about a dozen constructors, so you can find out more here[^].

Does System.Web.UI.Design namespace exist in VS 2005?

Hi,

I am using VS2005 and want to use the System.Web.UI.Design namespace to provide a user interface to edit list items.

However, VB 2005 doesnt recognise the name space. It underlines the namespace with a blue line and the message is :

"Namespace or type specified in 'System.Web.Ui.Design' doesnt contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or type is defined and contains at least 1 public member. Make sure imported element name doesnt use any aliases"

Is there an equivilant to this namespace?

I think you have to add a reference to the dll that contains the System.Web.UI.Design namespace - it isn't added by default to every project.

You're looking for the Environment.GetFolderPath[^] method. You can use it to get the actualy path to any of the system folders, provided it has one! The enumeration you have to pass to this function can be found here[^].

Keep in mind that the folder you want actually has to have a path. "My Computer" doesn't have a path on a drive, it's a "virtual" folder.

I think it should be something like this:

<br />
Dim objlst as Listviewitem = Nothing<br />
<br />
objlst = lvwWhatever.items.item(IndexOfItem)<br />
<br />
txtbox1.text = objlst.subitems(1).text<br />
txtbox2.text = objlst.subitem(2).text<br />
<br />

Hope that helps you! Big Grin | :-D

Hi Zulnurain,
If the first three digits are fixed, then use the below code,

option explicit
dim i as constant = 999

private sub AutoCalc
Dim sum As String

sum = Mid("GTF100", 4, 3)
sum = val(sum) + 1
if val(sum) = 999 then exit sub
end sub
