Not unless you call it properly. And it your code, I don't think you did.

I don't know...you wrote the code!

sDBLib = GetSetting("Library", "DBConn", "dblib", "")
sUsername = GetSetting("Library", "DBConn", "username", "")
sPassword = GetSetting("Library", "DBConn", "password", "")

Hi,

I have a ASP.NET web application project. When I try saving it, The Save File As dialog box appears and it gives me 3 saving format options:

Save as type:
Text Solution File (*.sln)
UTF-8 Solution File (*.sln)
Unicode Solution File (*.sln)

Re: Save As Type

Oops, sorry. Here's the question:

What are the differences amongst the 3 options? Which format should I save my project/solution in?

I'm quite new to ASP.NET web apps. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

For an English project, it really doesn't matter. By default, your project will be saved with UTF-8 Encoding. If you were making a website that used 16-bit (or larger) character, like Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, or Japanese, then your would use the Unicode or UTF-16 Encoding.

How to Select Root in TreeView?

25-Jun-04 2:42

You have to include a NotifyIcon in your application. See this[^] for the docs on the component class.

You'll also have to change the Form's ShowInTaskbar property to False. When the user Minimizes the Form, your NotifyIcon will be the only way the user can restore the form.

You'll then have to handle the NotifyIcon's DoubleClick event and set the Form's WindowState to FormWindowState.Normal and then Show() the Form.

Is there any way to select Root element?

VB6

Dave Kreskowiak25-Jun-04 4:23

Define "Root element". You can have multiple root TreeNodes in the Nodes collection, any of which are selectable. Can you be a bit more specific about what your trying to accomplish?

just like "root element" in xml

Dave Kreskowiak25-Jun-04 7:17

25-Jun-04 7:17

I know it's just like the root element in XML, but the TreeView has no equivelent. That's why I asked you to be more specific about what your trying to accomplish. All the nodes in the TreeView control are contained in the Nodes property of the TreeView. Each Node has a property which determines wheather or not that node is a child and what its parent node is. If Parent returns Nothing, this node is a root node.

So, I'll ask this again. What are you trying to accomplish by selecting the root node(s) of a TreeView control? How do you want to select this node? By clicking on it or by doing what to it in code?

to select the root node in the TreeView control

Dim rnode As Node
Set rnode = TreeView1.Nodes(0).Root

now the rnode is set with the root node of your treeview control.

thanx,

Best way to do it is by setting a reference to Excel (Project->References), then manipulate it using the excel object model

Or treat it like a datasource, and run SQL against it...

Look on MSDN for further info, or mail me at the addr below with what you have, and can take a look

Hi, does any one know how to write the code to detect shares session in windows 2000 or windows xp when there is a change when another user access our share resource over the network? The code could be vb6 or vb.net. Thank you!

Are you looking at monitoring changes in the Share, like changes in security, permissions, adding a share or removing one, or are you looking ar monitoring the files under the share for changes?

Thank you very much for you valuable question. Of course my intention is monitoring the value of the other user when they access to our share file.It is not relate to security, permission....

When you working with "Computer Management" under the share and session folder, the value alawys change based onthe. I need to control that value in vb6 or vb.net.

Value? What value? "based onthe"? Based on what? There are no "value"'s there so I don't know what your talking about. Are you talking about restricting the number of users who can attach to the Share? Or are you talking about controlling the number of users opening a file under a Share?

Hi, I’m sorry that I did not give you clear enough information. Let get back to Computer Management in windows xp or 2k. Under “System Tools” there will be a node call “Shares Folders”. Under the “Shares Folders” nodes there are 3 sub nodes call “Shares”, “Sessions” and “Open Files”. Look at the right pane after you click on the “Shares” node, there will be a column label “# Client Connections”. This column represent the value of the user that has connect to your computer to access the network resources. If you click on the “Sessions” folder there will be a column label “User” at the right pane. This column will list detail user information such as computer name, connected time…

So, instead of open computer management and trace an activities, I would like to write an application that could will notify me any time if there is a user connect or disconnect from my network resource, and also the name of the user or machine name that connect our computer. The code could be written in vb6 or vb.net

Thank you!

Drop a TextBox or a Label control on the form:

TextBox1.Text = DateTime.Now().ToString()

mythinky wrote:

There is no event that fires when the System Date/Time changes. You have to keep track of the Date when your app starts, then once in a while, say every minute, check the current system Date against the stored version. If the current Date is lower than the one where your app started, then the date changed. If the current date is greater than the stored date, then you have to check to see if midnight rolled over from the last time you checked. If it has not rolled over midnight, then the date changed.

mythinky wrote:

This code will check to see if it is 10:00am on the current date on which it is run:

Dim currentTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now()
Dim checkTime As New DateTime(currentTime.Year, _
                              currentTime.Month, _
                              currentTime.Day, _
                              10, 0, 0)
If DateTime.Compare(currentTime, checkTime) = 0 Then
    ' The current time is 10:00am today...
Else
    ' The current time is NOT 10:00am today...
End If

Hello All,

I need to create a macro in excel that determines all the possible unique permutations of a set of numbers. It is simple in concept but in my opinion it is not simple to code. Basically I want to do the following, the user enters the various number in seperate cells for the set(maximum number entered would be twelve), then enter the the maximum numbers to use in a squence from the set, i.e. determine all the pairs (2 numbers) within a set of three numbers. The program will then calculate all the unique permutations in the rows below (placing each number within a seperate cell within that row). Unique meaning that if 1,3 will appear then 3,1 would not since 1 and 3 are already combined.

Here is a simple visual of what I would like to do for the number of pairs within a set of three numbers.

Squence number (Choose a number 1 to 12 for the grouping):
Row 1 Cell 1: 2

Set of Numbers (Maximum of 12 Numbers):
Row 2 Cell 1 : 1 Row 2 Cell 2 : 2 Row 2 Cell 3 : 3

Program output should be the following:
Row 4 Cell 1 : 1 Row 4 Cell 2 : 2
Row 5 Cell 1 : 1 Row 5 Cell 2 : 3
Row 6 Cell 1 : 2 Row 6 Cell 2 : 3

I hope that this makes sense, but if anything needs clarification, please let me know. I hope you all can help me out. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

John Breen
