Iam making a BooksFairGuide and i was thinking of using a XML Schema and XML file as a small database to store the data into but i didn't know exactly how to do that and then i thought if i can make the XML file store that data then i can extract it into SQL database later but the problem is how can i make the program when i hit the add button save the data into the XML file
"Open Source" Millions of free minds can't be wrong

You'd have to load you XML database into a dataset first. Then you can use that dataset as your database while you application is running. Then, when you app exists, or your user clicks "Save", you can write out the dataset back to the XML file. So long as you keep your database small, this won't be a problem. But if your database starts to get big, it will just take longer and longer to make any updates to the dataset.
You can start by checking out this[^] article on MSDN, along with this[^] one. And if your reall yin the modd to learn how Datasets, ADO.NET, and XML work, start reading this[^].

Here is the code I wrote:

<br />
For f As Byte = 0 To Files.GetUpperBound(0)<br />
Tree.Add(Files(f).Substring(Files(f).LastIndexOf("\") + 1, Files(f).Length _<br />
- Files(f).LastIndexOf("\") - 5))<br />
Dim Lines As ArrayList = FileProcessing.GetFile(Files(f))<br />
MakeTree(Tree(f), Lines.ToArray(GetType(String)), 3)<br />
Next<br />
End Function<br />
<br />
Private Sub MakeTree(ByRef MyTreeNode As TreeNode, ByVal Lines As String(), ByVal LineNum As Integer, _<br />

If LineNum > Lines.GetUpperBound(0) Then Exit Sub<br />
Dim Cntr As Integer = 0<br />
Dim Line As String = Lines(LineNum)<br />
Dim c As Char = Line.Substring(Cntr, 1)<br />
Do While c = "."<br />
Cntr += 1<br />
c = Line.Substring(Cntr, 1)<br />
Loop<br />
Select Case Cntr<br />
Case Is < Level<br />
Dim NewNode As TreeNode = MyTreeNode, x As Integer<br />
For x = 1 To Level - Cntr<br />
NewNode = NewNode.Parent<br />
Next<br />
NewNode.Nodes.Add(Line.Substring(Cntr, Line.Length - Cntr))<br />
MakeTree(NewNode, Lines, LineNum + 1, Level - x)<br />
Case Level<br />
MyTreeNode.Nodes.Add(Line.Substring(Cntr, Line.Length - Cntr))<br />

MakeTree(MyTreeNode.Nodes(MyTreeNode.Nodes.Count - 1), Lines, LineNum + 1, Level + 1)<br />
End Select<br />
End Sub<br />
End Class<br />
Two problems:
First, after it gets to the lower levels, it doesn't go back to the upper levels (Case Is < Level).
Second, it duplicates every file entry in reverse order, strange.

I am getting the following compile error:
"value of type 'DataAccess.DataRequest' cannot be converted to 'DataAccess.DataRequest'"
This doesn't make any sense to me, as the types are exactly the same. Perhaps someone has some experience with this type of error. In this particular case I have 3 DLL's. A class in DLL #1 makes a call to another class in DLL #2 by passing as a parameter an object that comes from DLL #3 -- i.e. both DLL #1 & #2 reference DLL 3#.
IHere's some sample code that reproduces my problem. There is a Windows Form Project, a BusinessLayer DLL, a DataLayer DLL, and a MyObject DLL. The windows form references the BusinessLayer DLL and the BusinessLayer DLL references the DataLayer DLL. All of three reference the MyObject DLL. THis gives me the same compile error of not being able to convert the type -- it will however compile and run OK if I tell the compiler to continue. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I have Option Strict on or off, or if I pass the parameter by Ref or Val.
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim oMyObject As New MyObject.MyObjectClass
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
‘this is a simple windows form with a textbox “TextBox1” and a button “Button1”
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Text = oMyObject.Name
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim oBusinessLayerObject As New BusinessLayer.BusinessLayerObject
oBusinessLayerObject.AlterObject(oMyObject)
TextBox1.Text = oMyObject.Name
End Sub
End Class
Namespace BusinessLayer
Public Class BusinessLayerObject
Public Sub AlterObject(ByVal oMyOBject As MyObject.MyObjectClass)
Dim oDataLayerObject As New DataLayer.DataLayerObject
Dim oMyObjectBL As New MyObject.MyObjectClass
oMyObjectBL = oMyOBject
oDataLayerObject.AlterObject(oMyObjectBL)
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Namespace DataLayer
Public Class DataLayerObject
Public Sub AlterObject(ByVal MyObject As MyObject.MyObjectClass)
MyObject.Name = MyObject.Name & " DataLayer Addition. "
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Namespace MyObject
Public Class MyObjectClass
Public Name As String = "Some Name"
End Class
End Namespace

I am working on the ftp client type application.
while uploading I can't not stop until finishing
downloading all files. Even I make a button to
stop I won't response until finish whatever my
program is doing what can I do?
shinay

You description is difficult to understand, but I think your trying to terminate your file upload/download before it completes on it own?
How that is done depends entirely on your implementation of the client transfer process. Without knowing anything about your code, it's impossible to tell you what to do...

I wonder how i can enable the frontpage extension for a domain name on IIS by coding.
I can't find any help from google about this.
I appreciate if you can help.
Thanks.

There are several methods for administering IIS using code. The documentation on such methods starts here[^].
For a jump start, you can try using the System.Management namespace and WMI. Check this[^] article on MSDN. You'll have to covert the code from VBScript to VB.NET though.

I'm hesitating on changing Platform from VS6 to VS.Net. Would you
please to tell me what's the prospect of MMC in Microsoft .NET plan?
There's an MMC Snap-in designer for VB 6.0 ,and is there a designer for
VB.NET? Does Microsoft have anything to substitute for MMC in .NET
platform or something in the future?
|
|

|

Without more specifics on what you're using MMC for, it would be hard for me to provide you with anything more than general items I've come across.
There's a Console class in the System namespace.
I found a C# library for MMC on SourceForge
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mmclibrary/
There are some resources on this site:
http://codeproject.com/csharp/MMCFileActCs.asp
http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/system/mmcsnapins/article.php/c5779/
The Microsoft .NET Framework SDK tools are designed to make it easier for you to create, deploy, and manage applications and components that target the .NET Framework. This section contains detailed information about the tools.

I am working on the OfficeAddin(IDTExtensibility2)
and wanting to find out how to enable and disable
toolbar button when user save document
So perfect solution will be if there is
an event when user saves, otherwise
an event that always listening all the thing
you are doing just like PreTranslateMessage
in VC
I hope some has idea about this

I could do this in VBA, but I'm not certain how it would translate into VB.NET
Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years...

can you tell me how to do this VBA.
I might get hint out of it.
Thanks

There's a couple ideas I can throw your way, they come from the Microsoft Word MVP website under FAQ's VBA
http://word.mvps.org/
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/AddMenu.htm
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/LaunchExeFromToolbar.htm
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/AttachMacroToButton.htm
I assume you are familiar with adding MS Office references into your projects. Once you've added the specific interop you want to work with, poke around there in the object browser. I was able to figure out a number of options and commands by doing so.

Hallo guys...I've got a question for u.
How can we add new action on file menu when we do right click in that file?Like WinZip.When we do right click file .zip, we can see there's some actions like unzip,extract,or extract to..
Thanks for reply me..
|
|
|
|
|
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\YourAppName\command\
YourAppName: this is what you are going to see in your right click menu.
command: you specify the path to your app exe probably with %1
For example if you have app called myapp.exe in C:\ and want to display
"start my app" on the right click menu
you said
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\start my app\command\
in side of command you have
"C:\myapp.exe %l"l is not the number but alphabet 'L'
Just for your info
if you add the right click menu on directory
this is the place to add the same thing
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\start my app\Command
Good Luck!

Thanks again for ur reply but...I still confuse.
How can we know that file,for example .zip,has been unziped or extract?Because u dont give any value for that things.
And..how can we do unzip and extract directly from that file menu?Is there any commands that might be added to your sample command(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\start my app\command\"C:\myapp.exe %l"l )that will call to the function(ex:extract/unzip) on program(winzip)?
|
|
|
|
|
I guess i miss your point.( i am trying to meet the deadline...)
I think your have to add the extra parameter in the registery key.
so if you want to add start your app to unzip/zip you might put
two keys like the following
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\my app unzip\command\C:\myapp.exe "unzip"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\my app zip\command\C:\myapp.exe "zip"
and you will see two menus in context menu. one is linking to your app with unzip parameter the other is zip. At your application side on the startup, you can see Command$ to figure out which menu has been clicked.
For example
msgbox Command$ ( you will see either "unzip" or "zip" in this case)
hope i answer your question right.

GREAT!!!!!Thanks a lot Van.
Ehm...but how if we wanna make both of them in one context menu?So..after we unzip,the context menu that will shows when we click again that file is zip.Is there another value, we must be added in registry or there's any function in vb that must be added to do this?
Sorry..and thank u

I recently received my free copy of VB .NET in the mail from microsoft and I'm having a little trouble. It seems as though I cannot create Mobile ASP .NET projects. However, in Visual C++ .NET I am able to create ASP .NET webservices. I receive the following error when I attempt to create the VB .NET Mobile Web Application: Error Message[^]. I am not sure if this is an IIS problem or if it is VB .NET. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I am a 15 years old and program things for fun, I happen to be working on a SNAKE game and ran into a little problem. I notice that the 'head' only eats the 'food' if it is exactly on the pixel of location as the 'food'. How can I fix this problem.
This is a copy of my head_move event procedure:
Private Sub Head_Move(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Head.Move<br />
<br />
If (Me.Head.Location.Y = Me.Food.Location.Y) And (Me.Head.Location.X = Me.Food.Location.X) Then 'checks wheather or not head had eaten the food<br />
createfood() 'creates new food using random number generator<br />
End If<br />
If Me.Head.Location.Y > 320 Then 'determines wheather or not head is in panel<br />
Game() 'resets all variables<br />
End If<br />
If Me.Head.Location.Y < 0 Then 'determines wheather or not head is in panel<br />
Game() 'resets all variables<br />
End If<br />
If Me.Head.Location.X > 384 Then 'determines wheather or not head is in panel<br />
Game() 'resets all variables<br />
End If<br />
If Me.Head.Location.X < 0 Then 'determines wheather or not head is in panel<br />
Game() 'resets all variables<br />
End If<br />
End Sub

You'd have to check if the Head.Location.X (and .Y) values fall between a range of values around where the food sits.
If (My.Head.Location.Y > (Me.Food.Location.Y - 5) AndAlso _
(My.Head.Location.Y < (Me.Food.Location.Y + 5) AndAlso _
(My.Head.Location.X > (Me.Food.Location.X - 5) AndAlso _
(My.Head.Location.X < (Me.Food.Location.X + 5) Then
'checks wheather or not head had easten the food
