And that would be? You haven't said anything about what the problem is.
I, and everyone else, can't make a suggestion of what to change if I don't know what it's doing and don't know anything else about your code. Are you inheriting from the original TextBox? Creating you own control from scratch? Which class did you inherit from to start with? What do your painting code look like?

Woops, sorry
Ok, here's what it's doing. I got it to paint the border color. However, when i type sth, it will only type it but it doesn't let me delete or do anything else.
I inherit it from the TextBox class.
Add 2 properties to the class, borderColor and borderWidth.
And I draw the line using the pen Class 
That's it. Is there sth i have to do extra?
Sorry, I'm new to this thing.
Thank you for your help

How to clone an object that has event handlers in it to get a copy of this object but not a pointer?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't quite understand what you are asking here.
Can you please rephrase the question?
|
|
|
|

Using VB.Net I created MustInherit Object in my project. This object must have public method Clone(byVal objectToCopy As Object). This method is very like:
Dim obj1 As New Object
Dim obj2 As New Object
obj2 = obj1
But in this case obj2 will have reference to obj1.
I need obj2 to be absolutely independent, so wherever happens to obj2, obj1 will stay the same.
I tried to use Serialization, but it doesn't work, because the object has event handler in it.
Thank you for your reply

You need to call the Clone() method to make a copy of an object.
Dim obj1 As New Foo<br />
Dim obj2 As Foo = DirectCast(obj1.Clone(), Foo)
But be aware that it'll only create a shallow copy. Meaning that the reference member variables in both the clone and source will still reference the same objects in the heap. If you want the clone's member references to refer to new objects/copies, then you'll need to clone its member variables too.
Public Class Bar : Implements ICloneable
Public Data As Integer ' Value types are always copied.
Public Function Clone() As Object Implements System.ICloneable.Clone
Return Me.MemberwiseClone()
End Function
End Class
Public Class Foo : Implements ICloneable
Public Bar As New Bar ' Referenced objects are not copied.
Public Function Clone() As Object Implements System.ICloneable.Clone
Dim copy As Foo = DirectCast(Me.MemberwiseClone(), Foo)
copy.Bar = DirectCast(Me.Bar.Clone(), Bar) ' Clone member object too.
Return copy
End Function
End Class

You already got your answer on the original post. Make absolutely sure your parameter types match. You've got a C function with an Int parameter declared as Int16 in VB. The C Int is 32 bits wide, while the VB Int16 is, obviously, 16 bits wide.

Hi,
I am developing a VB.NET Windows App using VS 2003 and Framework 1.4.
The app bascially executes DTS packages on a remote SQL Server 2000.
One of the DTS packages deletes a database, however if there is a remote connection
to the database , the DTS package to delete it will fail, as expected.
Before the database is deleted I do some stuff with it:
Dim Conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Conn.Open()
'do some stuff
Conn.Close()
Conn.Dispose()
Conn = Nothing
After this code it attempts to delete the code using the remote call to the DTS package, but fails.
I have tested the DTS execution before connecting to the database with the code above and it works fine.
If I go into Enterprise Manager and look at the Process Info under Management/Current Activity/ I can see the new process id to the database created. I have done testing and as long as the process id to the database exists I can't delete the database.
What can I do to remove the processId from the SQL Server? The code above does not. When debugging, if I STOP the application , the process id disappears.
Can someone explain how to remove the connection from the server using VB code?
thanks

One thing you might want to do to avoid running the DTS package if there is a connection to the database that would prevent you from deleting it is to check whether there are any connections. Something like this in the master database, where the number of rows returned indicates the number of connections to the database:
SELECT syslocks.id FROM syslocks, sysdatabases WHERE (syslocks.dbid = sysdatabases.dbid) AND (sysdatabases.name = 'your-database-name')

Thanks for the response.
What I'm really intrested in knowing is how to delete the process id from the server.
BambooMoon wrote: SELECT syslocks.id FROM syslocks, sysdatabases WHERE (syslocks.dbid = sysdatabases.dbid) AND (sysdatabases.name = 'your-database-name')
Can I just modify the above SQL statement to delete it from the syslocks table?
The process id never goes away over time, if I open the connection to the datbase.
conn.open the connection remains forever.
conn.close
conn.dispose
none of these work to remove the process id in enterprise manager.
Please advise.

I write strings in binary into database,but I cann`t read them out to Textbox correctly.Why?
I try to do it by two methods,but both of them failed.
Dim [Unicode] As New UnicodeEncoding
1.
sqlDA = New SqlDataAdapter(sqlStr, sqlCon)
sqlDs = New DataSet
sqlDA.Fill(sqlDs, "Result")
If sqlDs.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
Dim bytContents As Byte()
bytContents = CType(sqlDs.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("Contents"), Byte())
txtContents.Text = [Unicode].GetString(bytContents)
end if
2.
Dim sqlDr As SqlDataReader
sqlDr = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess)
sqlDr.Read()
Dim bytContents As Byte(), intLength As Integer
intLength = sqlDr.GetBytes(3, 0, bytContents, 0, 0)
ReDim bytContents(intLength - 1)
intLength = sqlDr.GetBytes(3, 0, bytContents, 0, bytContents.Length)
txtContents.Text = [Unicode].GetString(bytContents, 0, intLength)
sqlDr.Close()
The result is that I can read only one byte,the others is null.So I cann`t get the correct string.
How can I get the correct string from binary?

Is there a way in VB or using batch files to force domain users to logoff when there time expired.

This is already done in group policies. Instead of asking the same question over and over, you might want to explain why it doesn't fill your needs.

hi,

Hi Ajay,
There are may examples of using FlexGrid.NET and TDBGrid.NET with a dataset. For FlexGrid.NET, please begin by taking a look at the BoundDelete sample. For TDBGrid.NET, please begin by referring to Tutorial1.
If you are using the ActiveX versions of FlexGrid and TrueDBGrid in VS.NET, while it is recommended that you use the versions for VS.NET, the ActiveX versions should still work reasonably well. If you are trying to use the ActiveX versions, you also need to use the ActiveX version of ADO (Microsoft ADODB) or our TrueData ActiveX control. For an example, convert any of the ActiveX samples to VS.NET using VS.NET's automatic conversion.
Additional samples can be found on our website, http:\\www.ComponentOne.com[^]. The direct link to our samples page is http://helpcentral.componentone.com/ProductResources.aspx?View=Samples[^]. If you continue to have problems, you can either let me know through the VB.NET group or contact our support team for assistance. Options for contacting support are available on our support options[^] page.

All,
I have seen a lot of examples for VB 6.0 and less to create a toolbar that is dockable on the desktop edges which then automatically moves your icons around so everything is still viewable. I am currently trying to find an example in VB 2005. I can create a dockable toolbar on all sides of the screen but I can not get it to move icons and things like that. It is basically, more or less, and form with transparency enabled and then the toolbar can move to each side. I hope that this explains what I would like to do. Basically it is like the Office 2000 Toolbar.
Thanks for any help.
Jason
