you could create a list of lists, and use the old ArrayList class, which means that your objects at each level can be a List<T>, or T, or you can put List<T> at every level and just store a T at the bottom, and replace it with a list if you want to add another level.

No, that won't work, you need ArrayList. Sounds nasty.

'hi' is a stupid message-subject.
maybe you should supply more information, if you expect help? how is that gold rate data provided, what exactly do you want to do? what did you do so far to achieve your goal? what is the exact problem?
btw, it is always urgent.

blast it, i am really in the mood today!

What is the problem then? Don't you know where to get it, or don't you know how to get it?

No, it's not. If it really was very urgent, you would just pay someone to do this rather than posting in a public forum.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Calling Batch File from VB

I don't know of any service that's free to allow you do this. I usually get the Handy & Harmon Spot price for Silver at David H Fell & Co.[^], as well as Gold and Platinum, but you can probably get this pricing information from any precious metals supplier or metal refiner.

There are commodity exchange sites that supply web service information like this, but they all (AFAIK) charge a subscription fee to use.

Hi Friends,

I am calling one batch file from vb program like the below code.

Dim d As Double
d = Shell("\\sys1\share1\overtime log\Overtime Log\Ext.bat", vbHide)

the above 2 lines are given in form_load event. share1 is the shared folder in the server sys1.

When I try to run this application which is having the above two lines to call the batch file from the Server : sys1 it is working fine and calling the batch file.

But when i create package and deployement of this application, and installed in other system and when i try to run the project, it gives error Runtime Error: Call to invalid procedure or argument

But the i am not getting the above error if i give the ipaddress of sys1 instead of giving the system name like sys1.

Please suggest me some ideas for this. Since my ip address is dynamic, i cannot give that address, so i can only give my sys name ....So Expecting your help.

Thanks in Advance,

Regards

Your IP address on the network is dynamic ? Perhaps this is not the best way to do this ?

Hi guys.

Is it possible to change the horizontal scroll of a table into a button page scroll.
Example. A button "Next" when click, will carry out the same function as the horizontal scroll by scrolling to the next page.

Anyone able to help? Very much appreciated. Thank you.

Enabling autofill in webbrowser control

Hi,

I am trying to enable autofill for a webbrowser control in my application. I have found the following links that tell how it can be done, yet they are in C++ (with which I donot have a good grasp) and are beyond my grasp of the relevant interfaces. Could anyone please help me put this into a vb sub which enables autofill if possible? thanks. The links are:

That code is just setting a property, the property must be exposed to .NET as well, surely ?

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah, it just requires it to be exposed, yet I am unable to write the proper interface declaration. I was hoping someone could help me with it. Cant find much on the net.

Thanks,

It's C#, but should be easy to convert, or there are converters online.

I've tried the method of directly referencing the file yet VB.net doesnt recognize it as a valid assembly. As for his code, the online converter at developerfusion gives an error on:

"Invalid Expr"
