You can use the ds.writexml(sxmldata) to get it back as a dataset I've been using it this way and it's working for me so try it out.

I have a database with two columns, "department_name" and "color". My goal is to display a list of all of the values but formatted so as to display a rectangular swatch of the color and have the name follow it. I have absolutely no idea how to do this (new to VB.NET programming, ASP/ASP.net background), and would really appreciate some feedback. Can I draw a rectangle in each column as the listview is populated and specify the color of each one? OR could I possibly use like a transparent icon and specify the background color of the place holder? If anyone has used Adobe InDesign, they've seen something similar to what I am looking for when invoking a pantone color. You simply get a scrollable list with a rectangular swatch of the color followed by the color name. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated--this has REALLY been bothering me!

Does anyone know how to convert a date to a string but keeping its date format i.e. 08/10/2005.

If you are using a Date object you can do the following:
'format today's date<br />
Messagebox.Show(Now.ToString("M/DD/YYYY"))

A DateTime object doesn't have a format. The format only applies to the string representation of the object. You can give it any format you want if you just supply the .ToString() method with the appropriate format code(s).
DateTime.ToString()[^] method and overloads documentation

Hello,
I get an access denied error when I execute
processes = Process.GetProcesses()
1. Is this because the logged in user doesnt have access to the process information on the computer.(What access wd i have to give the user. I cannot give them administrative rights)
2. I know the process class is dependant on performance counters. Could this be because performance counters have been disabled
These are the error details :
Error Message : Access is denied
Target Site : IntPtr OpenProcess(Int32, Int32, Boolean)

Any help is appreciated!!

Hi all,
I'm trying to open a Excel spreadsheet from a VB Application, but it seems that VB cannot handle spaces, the code is as follow:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe", _
"C:\Documents and Settings\HHarrar\My Documents\XDAStatus.xls")
I get the Error:
"C:\Document.xls" could not be found. check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
just to make sure I moved the file and ran it as:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe", _
"C:\XDAStatus.xls")
it worked perfectly shich leads me to believe that the problem is the space between the words in the pathname.
does anyone know how to get a round this.
Thanks.

Try putting quotes around the full path.
Where:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe", _<br />
"C:\Documents and Settings\HHarrar\My Documents\XDAStatus.xls")
Becomes:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("excel.exe", _<br />
"""C:\Documents and Settings\HHarrar\My Documents\XDAStatus.xls""")
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the suggestion unfortunately it didn't resolve the problem, I still get the same error coming up
any other suggestions??
Thanks

Perhaps it doesn't like the command line argument. Try putting the information into a Process.StartInfo
Dim p as New Process<br />
<br />
With p.StartInfo<br />
'name of process to start<br />
.Filename = "excel.exe"<br />
<br />
'specify the arguments - in your case the filename<br />
.Arguments = ControlChars.Quote & "C:\Documents and Settings\HHarrar\My Documents\XDAStatus.xls" & ControlChars.Quote<br />
End With<br />
<br />
'start the process<br />
p.Start()
A few extra lines of code, but it should work.

Hello
Is there any way that one can reffer to a new page with an URL and at the same time define how the window should look (eks: no toolbars, size etc).
SomeFunction.TargetURL = "../PersonInfo.aspx (and define the window here?)"
Spaz

This question really belongs in the ASP.NET Forum.
There is nothing in the URL that will tell the browser how to open the window. In your code-behind for the page you want to display, you'll have to retrieve these size arguments in the URL, passed in just like any other URL arguments, then set properties in the HTML sent to the browser to change the browser window behavior. But that's the part I don't know how to do.

hello there
I am using vb.net 2003. my problem is
I have 10 panel control containing different number of labels on each panel. when user double click on the label the event should be fired. now the problem is when I run the control on the windows form it fires the event for the control. and if you double click on label it fires the event written inside control. what I want is when User Double click on Label the event the for the Control should fire and it should contain some values which I want to pass from label to user Form.

Look up info on defining Events and using the RaiseEvent statement.

Hello,
A week ago I was using Visual Studio to make a quick fix to a VB 6 application. Sadly whilst I was compiling the project my machine crashed suddenly (of all things a fuse blew in the plug !) and now the "Make <project_name>.exe" and "Make Project Group" options in the "File" menu are now permanently greyed out in the Visual Studio IDE. So I'm now in the position where I can only compile using the command line (e.g. "vb6 /m <project_name> /outdir <path>")
After much experimentation I have even tried reinstalling Visual Studio but when I do so it tells me that the IDE is still running (even though it's not)
I am therefore of the opinion that there is either a file or a registry key that has been left behind by the failed compilation which is making the IDE "think" that there is currently a compilation in progress.
Any help as to what this file/registry key might be would be much appreciated as it's rather tedious to only be able to compile from the command line (I can no longer use interactive debugging for one thing)
And please don't tell me to reinstall Windows as I'm simply not willing to do so (just to fix one little problem with one product) !
Thankyou

You might want to look into reinstalling the last service pack you installed for Visual Studio. If that doesn't work, it looks like you'll have to uninstall, then reinstall Visual Studio. Remember to reboot after uninstalling VS.

Well thanks for the advice and I'm sorry to seem churlish but this is not what I want to do.
It is plainly obvious that the problem is due to some part of the compilation process creating either a "supposed to be temporary" file, registry key or change to some INI file etc. which has not been cleaned up after the crash.
So I'm sorry but I'm not going to start doing the usual retarded "uninstall, reinstall, try again" methods. I'd rather junk the box and get someone else to do the work (I'm helping out) I'm going to try to find out what is causing the problem, fix it, then document the fix (at least in this thred)
It's this complete lack of transparency in Windows software that makes it (IMHO) unusable in a professional environment and is a major reason why I now do most of my development on Linux (using mono)
So thanks again for the reply but I want to know what's causing the "Make" option to be greyed out and how can I get it back.

Since the command line compiler still works, it's not any problem with the temp or .OBJ files that are generated.

Really? I didn't see it that way. Since everything in the menu and tool bars is customizable, there's the very real possibility it's because of a screwed up configuration in the IDE. The problem is that this configuration isn't stored all in one place.
You might want to try View > Toolbars > Customize, select Menu Bar, and click Reset. Or if you have your VB menus customized and don't want to reset them, you can remove the Make option and re-add it.

The only thing retarded about this is that you competely dismissed a couple possible fixes for your problem just because "you don't like it". A simple Google search for "VB6 Make Greyed" would have told you that there are a bunch of possible causes of this problem. So no one solution is "obvious".
Good coders NEVER discount their code as a possible cause of a bug, just because they "know" their code is good.

Since we've started bashing Windows, how about this. I find Linux to be a PITA to configure because of all the cryptic config files all over hell. Most of which have only gotten a tool to properly interpret them for you in the last 3 years. If you want a major reason why Linux isn't mainstream in the business environment, there's a bug one right there. Don't get wrong, things are improving greatly and Linux is making progress chipping away at the Microsoft Monopoly, but there's a long way to go...

I am a noob at VB6. I have created a dialog with prefilled info as help for the user who will use this word template functionality. The prefilled info is put in the dialog textfields via "initialize" as shown in the codesnibbet below. Everything is then cascaded throughout the text in the template. It works fine but...This "Initialize info" is always shown when using this Macro. What I want is to save what ever the user last put in the textfields and show that the next time he/she uses this Macro/File. How can I do this?
Thanks for any help! 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()<br />
With FrmDocProp<br />
.TxtProject.Text = "info"<br />
.TxtClient.Text = "Info"<br />
.TxtDocType.Text = "Info"<br />
.TxtPreferredDate.Text = "Info"<br />
.TxtAuthor.Text = "Author"<br />
End With<br />
End Sub
WOW Ruules!!

You'll have to save the .Text values to either a file or to a location in the registry. In your Initialize code, you'll have to read these values back. If they don't exist, substitute the default values you have now. When the user clicks OK, then you can save whatever the values are back to the registry or file.

I see. Thanks! Any suggestions on how such a code could look like ? Where in the registry whould I put such values? Is it better to use a text file?
For the Horde!!!

Whatever is easier for you, it really doesn't matter. If you going to put hte stuff in the registry, I would suggest under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\YourCompanyHere\YourAppNameHere\YourKeyNameHere. If in a text file, then you can put it in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\YourCompanyNameHere\YourAppNameHere\WhatEverFileNameHere.
