You installed both on the same machine? The MSDN Library hasn't supported integration with Visual Studio 6 for roughlt the last 2 years...
I can't remember if you can install two different editions of MSDN side-by-side. IMHO, I don't think you can...

I don't think there were any issues, but my laptop is evidence that you can have 2 MSDN installed at the same time. I have one from October, ???? which was the last full MSDN before .Net, and I have the one from VS.Net 2003. They both work properly from their respective development environments.

Does somebody knows how to call Oracle Stored Functions in VB Net, I am very very tired trying one time and once again, and so on.
Please is urgent!!
Thanks in advanced.

Use the OleSqlwhateveritis generic class provided by ADO.NET for all sources except SqlServer. You aren't saying what you've tried, or what is happening, but my memory of Oracle ( which I am trying to erase, Oracle is crap ), was that the issue was finding a driver that worked properly. May you have driver issues ?

Hi Christian, I think is not an issue with drivers becouse I can call Stored Procedures fine, however I can't call Functions which are stored in Oracle Packages.
I am using the next code in VB Net:
Public Sub MY_PKG_ADD_NEW_ITEM(ByVal ConnectionString As String _
, ByRef N_ITEM_ID_O As Integer _
, ByVal V_ITEM As String)
Dim oConn As New OracleConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim oraCmd As New OracleCommand("", oConn)
oraCmd.Connection = oConn
oConn.Open()
oraCmd.CommandText = "MY_PKG.ADD_NEW_ITEM"
oraCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
'oraCmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("N_ITEM_ID_O", OracleType.Number, 3)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
'oraCmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("V_ITEM", OracleType.VarChar, 2000)).Value = V_ITEM
'oraCmd.Parameters(1).Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
Try
oraCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
N_ITEM_ID_O = oraCmd.Parameters("N_ITEM_ID_O").Value
Catch
'MsgBox(Err.Description)
Finally
oraCmd.Dispose()
oConn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
The error what I am receiving is:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00221: 'ADD_NEW_ITEM' is not a procedure or is not defined
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
The software I am using is:
VB Net 2002 version
Oracle driver is System.Data.OracleClient (.NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle)
I am getting conected to an Oracle 9i data source.
I hope this info complete my scenario so to get more help from you.
Thanks in advanced !!

you need to set a returnValue parameter (where the function result will be
stored) and execute as "ExecuteNonQuery"

Here is a differente way to prepare the calling to the stored function:
Public Sub ADD_NEW_ITEM(ByVal ConnectionString As String _
, ByRef ITEM_ID_O As Integer _
, ByVal V_ITEM As String)
Dim oConn As New OracleClient.OracleConnection(ConnectionString)
Dim rtnVal As New OracleClient.OracleParameter("", Conn)
Dim inpVal As New OracleClient.OracleParameter("", Conn)
Dim outVal As New OracleClient.OracleParameter("", Conn)
Dim oraCmd As New OracleClient.OracleCommand("MY_PCKG.ADD_NEW_ITEM", oConn)
oraCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
outVal = oraCmd.CreateParameter
outVal.ParameterName = "ITEM_ID_O"
outVal.OracleType = OracleType.Number
outVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
outVal.Value = DBNull.Value
oraCmd.Parameters.Add(outVal)
inpVal = oraCmd.CreateParameter
inpVal.ParameterName = "V_ITEM"
inpVal.OracleType = OracleType.VarChar
inpVal.Size = 2000
inpVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
inpVal.Value = V_ITEM
oraCmd.Parameters.Add(inpVal)
Try
oConn.Open()
rtnVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
rtnVal.OracleType = OracleType.Number
rtnVal.ParameterName = "ITEM_ID"
rtnVal.Value = oraCmd.ExecuteNonQuery
oraCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch
MsgBox(Err.Description)
Finally
oraCmd.Dispose()
oConn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
So I get the same results.
Thanks for your answer, do you have some other idea ?

what is wrong with this code. I am trying to create a shortcut that is displayed on the desk top.
this is in the declarations of the form
Private Declare Function fCreateShellLink Lib "STKIT432.DLL" (ByVal lpstrFolderName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkPath As String, ByVal lpstrLinkArgs As String) As Long
This is in the form command click
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim lRETURN As Long
lRETURN = fCreateShellLink("C\documents and settings\administrator\desktop", "Shortcut to logbook", "c:\drags\logbookv10.exe", "")
End Sub
The results are:: NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING
What is wrong??????????????????????????????

Are you using VB5? STKIT432.DLL was replaced a long time ago with an updated one. But, you don't even need that one either.
If you're using VB6, use the Windows Scripting Library (set a reference to this) WshShell object and its CreateShortcut method to create the shortcut.

Why? It's 10 years old! There's no support for it anymore. If you want to support the O/S's of today, you'll have to upgrade!

In VB.NET 2003, with a listview in large icon view, I need to allow the user to manually rearrange the icons using the mouse. Kind of like a DragDrop operation but not.
I tried all the prop setting for the listview but nada!
A good example would be Windows Explorer in Icons View, set to autoarrange. You can still have them all lined up but you can manually drag and re-arrange the icons.
What do I need to do to set this up?
Thanks for any help.

The ListView really doesn't have any support for this. In order to have the items rearrangable and allow the user to place the items anywhere they want, you have to have seperate objects for each item in the list and have each item track it's own position on screen. This tracking is not possible using the normal ListViewItem class.
You'd have to come up with your own ListView class and ListViewItem class, possibly extending the standard classes.

That bites  If vb6 was able to do it you think vb.net would support it too but in a complicated way, not lie that though
Any other possible way you can think of?

How did you get it to work in VB6?

Here is some demo code for VB6. If you drag an item and drop it anywhere in the listview it will move to that position.
Option Explicit<br />
'Add a ListView to your form (ListView1)<br />
Private Sub Form_Load()<br />
Dim i As Integer<br />
With ListView1<br />
.Arrange = lvwAutoTop<br />
.HideSelection = False<br />
.LabelEdit = lvwManual<br />
.MultiSelect = False<br />
.Sorted = False<br />
.View = lvwIcon<br />
For i = 1 To 50<br />
.ListItems.Add , , i<br />
Next<br />
End With<br />
End Sub

I have a combo box in a VB 6 form that takes its list items from a Database Table.
when i add a new value in that list on the form by clicking on the add button I put an IF check on the add Button.
That IF check is that if the value is present in the list then it gives the msgbox that the value is already present and else it will add the value in the list of that combo box.
the Coding on the Add Button is:
if txtto.text = cboto. then
msgbox "The value is already present"
else
cboto.Additem txtto.text
end if
my problem is that the first part of the IF check doesnt works and by clicking add button it adds the value to the list. What code should I use in that first part of the IF check that it gets right? What property should i use for combo box to make it work correctly?
Its urgent plz help.

If your getting your combobox data from a database, then see if the item is in the database. If it isn't, add it, then rebind your combobox.
If you want to compare it against the data in the combobox, you'll have to iterate through the entire list of items in it. You can't do just one compare to see if an item is in the list anywhere. You have to compare against each item in the list until you find it or run out of items.

hello,
REF: VB6
I'm having trouble setting a variable NAME....
' set these variables
Const pos1 = 100
Const pos2 = 200
Const pos3 = 300
ID_dog = 1
' set variable position_dog
position_dog = "pos" & ID_dog
the result is...
position_dog = "pos1" <===== NOT what I need
I need the result to be a varible like....
position_dog = pos1 <===== I need this
which of course would be equivalent to position_dog = 100
or.....
if I set ID_dog = 2 then position_dog = 200
if I set ID_dog = 3 then position_dog = 300
any ideas ??
thanks in advance!

You can't do that. There's no function to evaluate the contents of a string and come up with a variable name reference. An option would be to select the correct constant to assign using a Select statement
SELECT CASE ID_dog
CASE 1
position_dog = pos1
CASE 2
position_dog = pos2
CASE 3
position_dog = pos3
END SELECT
You'll have to provide more details on what your doing if you need a better solution. What is position_dog and how do these constants and ID_dog relate to it? What's the purpose of this code?
