Connection to database through config file ccotton33322-Dec-04 9:55 ccotton333 22-Dec-04 9:55  I was wondering if it is possible to use a config file in VB .NET to be used to access a database. I know there is a way in C++, but I'm not sure about VB .NET. If anyone knows how to do this, any help would be appreciated. Thanks ccotton333 Re: Connection to database through config file T Manjaly6-Jan-05 13:50 T Manjaly 6-Jan-05 13:50  YOu can use the config file to keep key/value pairs. Keep the connection string in config. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T Manjaly My C# Tutorials articles www.dotnetspider.com Del row from Datagrid Paps222-Dec-04 3:18 Paps2 22-Dec-04 3:18  Hi All, I have populated my DataGrid1 from the dataTable. When I select the record and hit the 'DEL' key it removes the record from the grid. I would like to prompt the user on 'DEL' keypress and then remove the row from the grid. Is this possible. Tnx Re: Del row from Datagrid Dave Kreskowiak22-Dec-04 5:30 Dave Kreskowiak 22-Dec-04 5:30  Should be easy enough. Handle the DataGrid KeyPress event. When the event fires, you're code show put up a modal dialog box (.ShowDialog()) asking if it's OK or not. If it is OK, set the eventargs parameter to False before your handler exits, otherwise set it to True to stop the keypress from reaching the DataGrid control and having it delete the record.

I want to know how you are able to print that data out or send it to the printer when like a user clicks on a button called "print". thanks Re: Please this is important - printing!! Dave Kreskowiak22-Dec-04 5:18 Dave Kreskowiak 22-Dec-04 5:18  Patience! Since we all answer questions on a part time basis, and don't get paid to do so, just screaming for our free time... Now, you've given a vague description of what you want to accomplish, and it would appear that you haven't written any code to try this out yourself. All we can do is suggest that you read up on printing to see what methods are going to fit your needs. Start with Windows Forms Print Support[^]. This should give to a good start on how to implement printing in your code. BTW: The fastest answers come from your own research. Not sitting on a board waiting for someone else to do it for you.

First i have done alot of research, secondly i have tried out different ways, I tried Printdocument, PrintDialog in the windows forms, but i keep getting an exception error! My question was very specific, i wanted to only print out a label in a FORM as data is outputted into it not the whole form. P.S. i am not holding a gun to your head forcing u to give me an answer. Its all voluntary, you don't have to reply. thx for the reply anyway. Re: Please this is important - printing!! Dave Kreskowiak22-Dec-04 7:16 Dave Kreskowiak 22-Dec-04 7:16  Rude is posting the same question day after day until someone answers you... What's the exception you're getting and what does the code that's doing your printing look like?

If you want to print Landscape, you'll have to change the ReportWidth of the DataReport object and handle the landscape conversion when you setup your print job.

This doesn't make any sense. The MDIClient area is essentially a control on the MDI Parent form. Are you trying to get the control or the dimensions of the Parent form client area? Explain exactly what is on your form and what you want to get at.

Re: List file on FTP Dave Kreskowiak22-Dec-04 4:01 Dave Kreskowiak 22-Dec-04 4:01  Well, you've given us just about no information to help you with. What does your code look like? Are you using any 3rd party components to handle the FTP connection? Or are you using your own FTP handler that your writing? ... Normally, the command you send to the FTP server is either going to be "ls" or "dir". LS will give you the list of files and DIR will give you the same list with date/time, directory or file size. You'll have to parse this up yourself to get the information you need.

I also have Expresso. OK, I am trying to capture code in a namespace, even if there are nested namespaces, so given the text of... Namespace First Enum FirstEnum MyVal End Enum Namespace Second Enum SecondEnum MyVal End Namespace End Namespace I would expect to be able to get the outer namespace as one capture and the inner namespace as a second capture. Any straightforward pasting of a regex which works, rather than splinters of things you think might work, would be really appreciated. Explanations of how they work would be a bonus, but expresso's analyzer will help me understand to some extent. Thanks guys and have a great XMAS. Nursey Converting text to date Member 159547221-Dec-04 10:09 Member 1595472 21-Dec-04 10:09  Can someone help me out with this. I want to have the user enter a date in the textbox and then on LEAVE validate and convert it to gregorian format. Example: Enter 01011995 in the text box and return 01/01/1995 OR 1195 or 111995 The code below worked until last week when I rebuilt my system; now it no longer works and I can't seem to find a way of making it. dim mydate as string mydate = Format(Me.editHireDate.Text.ToString, "Short Date") Arnie Re: Converting text to date cnurse21-Dec-04 15:00 cnurse 21-Dec-04 15:00  Arnie, try this simple change... mydate = Format(cDate(Me.editHireDate.Text.ToString), "Short Date") Nursey Re: Converting text to date Member 159547222-Dec-04 4:47 Member 1595472 22-Dec-04 4:47  cnurse wrote: Arnie, try this simple change... mydate = Format(cDate(Me.editHireDate.Text.ToString), "Short Date") Nursey I appreciate the input.

A .Text property always returns a String. Can someone explain to me, the purpose of converting a String to a String? Sorry, one of my pet peeves. Oh! And using Me to death pisses me off to! It's completely unnecessary... mydate = Format(cDate(editHireDate.Text), "Short Date") RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: Converting text to date cnurse21-Dec-04 16:55 cnurse 21-Dec-04 16:55  Dave, LMAO! I have the same pet hates, but sometimes until somebody says "you don't need to" people's habits remain the same. I remember prefixing ME. in vb4 actually slowed it down coz the stupid environment even resolved the referemce too! so funny. Another one of my pet hates is people not coding with Option Strict. There are lots of others and so little time hahahaha Have a good XMAS mate. Nursey
