OK, well, the first thing you need to understand is that if I do your homework for you today, you won't have a clue how to do your next assignment, which will assume that you did this one. The second thing you need to understand is that, homework or not, it's pretty rare for anyone who asks 'I need someone to give me this application' to get the answer they want.
What does your assignment say ? What have you already written ? What bits are you stuck on ? If you demonstrate that you've tried to solve the problem and ask specific questions for where you are stuck, then this site is full of people who would love to help you.

There won't be a next assignment..this is a makeup one I'm working on as the class is over. Here's what it entails
Well designed GUI
Use a menu
Use 3 different controls (intrinsic or ActiveX)
Have a print capability
Implement an application that allows employees of a pizzeria to place customer orders.
Customer info must include name, telephone #, and address
Customer can pay using a visa, mastercard, check or cash
If they pay using credit card or check, the user needs to enter the customers check or credit card number
At least three pizza sizes. Small, medium and large. Six toppings must be available. Prices of pizza and toppings shown on form (toppings are .75 each). Sales tax of 6%
All pricing calculated when user clicks "Place an order"
If no pizza size or toppings are selected, a msg box must appear telling user that it needs to be entered.
clicking "New order" button clears all entries on form

So what have you done already ? Where do you need help ? I take it you intend to never program a computer again in your life, and you're looking for a free ride out of this class ?

How to grab a Frame from an MPEG movie (in VB .net), without saving an image file on harddisk. I've been searching alot for an answer and i couldn't find it. i've using mediadet.writebitmapbits, but this doesn't work for me cause i want to analyse a long video file and i don't want to save each and every frame on my harddisk.

If you want to analyse an entire file, perhaps you need to create a filter for DirectShow that does the analysis you're after ?

Hi
First of all, a language compiler is very sensitive to spelling. Lucky for you, VB.NET is not case sensitive, but you still need to spell things correctly.
Secondly, if you're replying to a post below, you should press 'reply', then the person who answered you will get an email, and the boards won't become an unreadable mess. You may have missed it, but these boards support threading, where you can see exactly who has replied to who.
Having read your question below, I'd have to suggest that you obviously are not at a point where you should be trying to do anything remotely this complex. The world is full of people who try to start programming by writing useful applications, most of them never write one thing worth looking at. If you want to learn, start simple, and build from there. If you don't know 'where to put the code', then you should not be using it, or trying to impliment what you're trying at the moment. You should write a few console apps, such as a basic calculator. Then start playing with some WinForms and learn how that sits on top of VB.NET. Then, when you've got enough of an understanding to be able to use the help that people offer you here, you can start working on something more complex, and ask questions as you get stuck.
Of course, you can ask more basic questions as you work through some more basic examples, also. We're here to help, but you need to do some work too

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows what the syntax would be to access a microsoft access database query and populate a dataadapter/dataset with the resulting table? Thank you

Search msdn for dataset class, that should get you started.

Hi KaptinKrunch,
Thanks for the reply. I did the search in msdn for the dataset class and could not find the syntax to populate a dataset based on a query created within the ms access database. All of the articles I read were populating the dataset based on a user defined Select statement within their code. would you be able to post the actual url where you found this information? thank you.

Dim MyConnection As New OleDbConnection(MyConnectionString)
Dim MyAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter
Dim MyDataTable as New DataTable
MyAdapter.SelectCommand = New OleDbCommand("select * from MyTable", myconnection)
MyAdapter.Fill(MyDataTable)
Read a book on the subject! There is so much to learn.

Hi dptalt,
Thank you for your response. I am able to access the tables in the database, but my question was directed towards opening queries created within the access database without using the "select * from mytable". Or does your message mean that I can use a "select * from myquery" to return the results from a query? Thank you.
Eg. I have a query named qryWheelRatesList, the query utilizes another query within it and I was wondering if I need to combine the two select statements together to retrieve results, or if there was syntax that would allow me to open the query itself and return the values within the query so I don't have to create a long and complicated select statement. Thank you.

Hi dptalt and kaptinKrunch
I have found the solution to my problem. It was because because I had split the database and the queries were not included on the database that we were trying to access. THank you for all of your help.

Ok good. But you can do this too:
MyAdapter.SelectCommand = New OleDbCommand("select * from qryWheelRatesList", myconnection)

Hi guys,
I've been searching this site for a auto updater that connects to internet and dowloads a update if it is avaible and i couldn't find one.
So i would really appriciate if anyone could help me .
Thanks.

There should be one also here, but AFAIK with VS2005 and FW2.0 this "function" is embedded so you don't need an external tool anymore.

I'd really like to use SYSTEM.CODEDOM.COMPILER or SYSTEM.REFLECTION.EMIT to create assemblies for the compact framework from the regular framework. In other words, dynamically compile code on a PC to send to a handheld and run.
I can't seem to find any info about this. I feel like I could bootstrap into it if I could just get an example or two.
This
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_evtuv/html/etconsimilaritieswithnetframework.asp
seems to suggest I would need to compile specifically for the CF if I want my code to run there, and I confirmed that a simple form compiled in the full framework will choke if I try to run it in the CF.
Does anybody have any pointers or suggestions? Anyplace I could look further?

If I understand your qeustion correctly, you won't find any examples of this. This is because the CF is a subset of the full framework. Form example, compare the Form classes, or pretty much any of them, in the CF and Full Frameworks and you'll notice that the CF classes don't support nearly the number of properties and methods that the full version does. There are also entire classes that are not supported on the CF version.
There is no tool that can take a full version application and "strip it down" to work on the CF version. You have to re-compile the application, and in most cases re-write code, under the CF version in order to get it to work.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
CODEDOM and EMIT are functionality in the full framework used to compile new assemblies. I would need to write code for the compact framework dynamically and then feed it into one of these classes. The classes would create the new DLL or EXE for the compact framework, and then I could send the new files to a device to be called by the reflection class. I was looking for an example of the compilation part.
I think the trick is selecting the correct libraries to compile with, but I'd really like to see an example instead of wasting a lot of time trying to figure it out from scratch.

Well, you've still got a huge problem. The code that comes out of CODEDOM in the Full Framework is compiled against the FULL FRAMEWORK! This code wont run on the CF. Ever notice that a Form in the CF doesn't support a Window Handle? If you use the Full Framework's CODEDOM, it won't compile against the CF and you can't tell it which libraries to use.

Hi,
I am using DataGrid control to save some records.Is there anymethod by which i can change the RecordCount by which i can read the record of my choice.I tried to assign some value to recordcount but it got runtime error telling that its read-only variable.Somebody please help me with this.
Thanks in advance,
Sushma

Are you sure your looking at the right property. RecordCount should and is Read-Only for a reason.
What are you attempting to accomplish by changing the RecordCount property?
