Are you getting an error message? If so, it would be helpful if you could include it.

So you're saying that is works when you use the bottom connection string, but not when you use the top one? The top one doesn't have the .mdb extention, is it supposed to? Does the user have access to that network path? Is that database protected by a username/password that you forgot to include?

Hope these suggestions will help you find your answer.

Yes, works fine for .mdb file.
There should'nt be a extension for DBASE database.
User has access to that path.
there is no username/password for that drive.

How about an error message? Perhaps if you debug the program you can get a more detailed error message?

My only other thought is to use the User ID and Password portions of the connection string, even if your database doesn't have one?

There's no error msg produced. I tried debugging, but no use.
Have also used User ID and Password portions, but no progress.

Well, then perhaps it's not the connection string that is causing the problem. How about posting more of your code, like where the connection string gets used or looking through some of the first bits of code that get run when your program launches.

I have not used DBase for years, have you checked out connectionstrings.com for the right syntax.

DBase IV came in a number of flavours and not all drivers (Jet) work with all flavours. I know I'm using a foxpro driver to get at some of our files so you may be running into a compatibility problem. Sorry I have no idea how to get around it other than testing each driver till one works.

I don't think so. IFAIK putting deleted files in the recycle bin is part of Windows Explorer functionality, not of the file system; and File.Delete is a file system operation. You can easily verify. What is your OS?

The code you posted does exactly what you want. It does not put files in the Recycle Bin.

Setting Back Color to a MessageBox

I have a messagebox created during run time, I want to set the color of the messagebox to White.
Code:

Private Function AddNonSuffixToSheet(ByVal cd As DataLine) As Boolean
       'non suffix cao
       Dim response As DialogResult
       Dim backcolor As Color = Color.White
       Dim title As String = "AVERTISSEMENT - Non Suffixe CAO"
       Dim msg As String = ""
       msg = msg & "Group-Unit/Assy     : " & cd.parent & vbCrLf
       msg = msg & "Nombre de composant: " & cd.enfant & vbCrLf
       msg = msg & "Non Suffixe CAO" & vbCrLf
       msg = msg & "Pour créer et ajouter à la feuille de calcul cliquez sur Oui" & vbCrLf
       response = MessageBox.Show(msg, title, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
       Return (response = DialogResult.Yes)
   End Function

I'm not sure where to use backcolor

Dim backcolor As Color = Color.White

MessageBox.Show(msg, title, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)

Any suggestions please.
Thanks in Advance.

Best way would be to roll your own messagebox

Or go this way: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188920.aspx[^]

but looks like it will get complicated very fast.

It's not just text, tho. If you're pasting into a rich text box, don't you want to convert to rtf ?

Copy to richtextbox is enough at this moment.
Converting to RTF also like to learn.

Thanks Cool | :cool:

I think you missed the point; SetText sets text, unformatted text, so it no longer would be a table.
RTF is a document representation that can hold content and formatting, it is the base on which RichTextBox and WordPad work; and other programs understand it too, such as MS Word.

The clipboard can hold many representations; one of them is called "Rich Text Format". However you can't set that using just SetText. I suggest you read up on Clipboard and perform some experiments.

Tell Word to copy the selection Range to the clipboard using its Copy method.

what's the regular expression for values and names

hi guys

does anyone know the regular expressions for catching names and values in input?

I'm using this one input.*value=(?:""(?<1>[^""]*)"") but it only gives me the values.

I need to get the values and names for any kind of HTML components.

thank you

Google for "Expresso". Its a great little utility you can use to build Regular Expressions and test with with any sample data you want. Doing RegEx without it is just silly.

We really can't tell you what the expression is without knowing the details of what is legal to make a valid name/value pair.

Help for mutiple forms in Visual Studio 2005 !

Hi All,
I created one application in VB.net from Visual studio 2005. There is a button on my form1 which on click event opens another form2.
Now When I form2 is open, I cannot access the form1, i mean i want all the forms to be independent i.e. all the forms to be accessible to the user.
Can anyone let me know how to do this?

You should buy a basic book on Winforms. You make the second form a member and call Show instead of ShowDialog, to show a modeless form.
