Windows has this built in already. What are you really trying to do? More specifications of your app would help.

HILIGHTING PERTICULER TEXT

8-Jan-06 2:53

Write your .EXE in C++.

There are projects out there that can compile a .NET Framework Managed code-based app (like C# and VB.NET) into an native .EXE with that the required runtime support. They cost $,$$$ and have their limitations and restrictions.

I don't ever recommend using them...

Highlight the text in what control? TextBox, RichTextBox, ... This makes all the difference in the world.

My first preference is 'TextBox' control, but it is really helpful for me if you sent the 'RichTextBox' control also.

Thanks for your Response…

Looking for a team of Visual Basic .Net Developers

The TextBox doesn't support different fonts, or styles of fonts, in the box at the same time. You'll have to use a RichTextBox for this. Look into the .SelectionStart, .SelectionLength, and .SelectionFont properties.

You'll want to specify the SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties first, then set the SelectionFont property to how you want the selection to appear in the RTB.

Hey everyone, my name is Mike and I host and run a group in the United States called AlienX Software (www.alienxsoftware.com) the site is anything close to being done but what I'm looking for is a group of dedicated devoted developers who love what they do to be a part of the AlienX Team. Wilson and I (the other guy working on this project with me) are working on a few programs so far, and are looking to work on a lot more in the future. Projects consist of Arctic Fox (a desktop app that is designed for students high school/college that is designed to help the student in the study of chemistry. It converts chemical formula's does citations in MLA format for reports and written projects, allows you to log into AlienX for online help, the list goes on...) Media Center (not yet in development) Cam Crawl (uses a proxy to get around firewall settings, etc...). There are many more projects that we would like to start down the line but seeing as how there is only two of us. We would like more people to help out and be a part of this project, those who help get 100% credit to the source and development they produce, get there own personal staff page on AlienX, and get to work with an awesome dedicated team.
I have been looking for great developers out there and have found the best on the codeproject. I would like to state that I need more than just VB .Net developers, if your a web developer, flash developer, graphic designer, even C++ and C# developer, we need help everywhere, this site is so new google hasn't even crawled it yet. Wilson and I would really appreciate all the help we can get. Thank you everyone for taking your time to read this, sorry for the long note Smile | :)

If you have any questions or would like to be a part of this project please email me mclark@alienxsoftware.com

It appears there is a a stored procedure to get the code to work? I am not sure what he is doing there with the code to get it to work?

Dave Kreskowiak6-Jan-06 12:34

6-Jan-06 12:34

The tells the SQL server to execute a stored procedure, called "sp_Popularity", stored in the database specified in the connection string.

The stored procedure in the database runs on the SQL Server and returns a set of records. The ExecuteReader method returns a SqlDataReader object that the DataSource property of the DataGrid uses to retrieve those records.

In order to get the code to work, you'd need a connection string that specifies a database to connect to on an SQL Server, and either a SQL "SELECT" statement or stored procedure that returns records from that database.

Thanks Dave, I knew there was something missing.
I can get it to work the way I have been taught but I don't know how proficient it is ie:

Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click

‘added the dsAuthors.Clear() method which clears any present data
dsAuthors.Clear()

‘added this statement to get the dsAuthors dataset I created
SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dsAuthors)

‘added This was to bind the Datagrid I made
DataGrid1.DataBind()
DGKenn.DataBind()

I am not sure how he gets the data from the database using the code he has. If I try just using that code it does nothing and rightfully so since I can't see where he is getting the db info.

Set myorder = mydb.OpenRecordset(autosql, dbOpenDynaset)<br />
<br />
If myorder.EOF Then<br />
x = 1<br />
Else<br />
myorder.MoveLast<br />
x = myorder!autono + 1<br />
End If<br />
addordstring = "insert into orders values(" & x & ",'" & mebdate & "','" & txtaccount & "','" & phone & "','" & coname & "','" & psgname & "','" & cabno & "','" & authname & "','" & driver & "','" & mebpick & "','" & wait & "','" & mebdrop & "','" & from & "','" & txtto & "','" & fare & "')"<br />

Dim cmdString As String = "select * from tblOrganization"
Dim da As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(cmdString, con)
da.Fill(ds, "tblOrganization")

cmdString = " select * from tblAccount"
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(cmdString, con)
da.Fill(ds, "tblAccount")

Dim relation As New DataRelation("ArtAuth", _
ds.Tables("tblOrganization").Columns("Organization _ID"), _
ds.Tables("tblAccount").Columns("OrganizationID") _
)
ds.Relations.Add(relation)

cbOrg.DataSource = ds
cbOrg.DisplayMember = "tblOrganization.Organization_Name"
cbOrg.ValueMember = "tblOrganization.Organization_ID"

cbAccount.DataSource = ds
cbAccount.DisplayMember = "tblOrganization.ArtAuth.AccountName"
cbAccount.ValueMember = "tblOrganization.ArtAuth.AccountID""

Hi Guys!! Sorry for the mess i made with my ID. i actually couldnt register on your site so i had to use a login ID i got on the Net with a password. So i used it for the time being. Hey, i guess you guys didnt hear about David Smith who is implementing Bittorrent in C#. Well he has released a library in .NET which i can now use for my Project. Plz dont think of me as some lame Guy who just need good code to use in his own work. Im in my Final year of Information Technology and well im also a State Level Cricketer. I play for Mumbai, India, if you guys have heard of it. So i have very limited time to slog on my PC. Im doing this project with my GirlFriend and we need something that will help us like a Library, which could atleast make us understand what the Network Management actually performes. Anyways, i'll definitely keep in touch with you guys and let you know my progress. If i need some help, i'll be counting on you. Can I??? Thanx. Cya. Bye. Take Care you Guys. Code Project Rulezzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! Smile | :)

Hey Colin!! This was for those guys who said that there is no Library in .NET for BitTorrent. Your Link was of great help. i heard the 55 min longinterview of David Smith. It was very interesting. i also got an open Sourse Bittorrent Client called BTSharp along with its Source. That might prove to be of enormous Help. Thanx Dude. Cya Later.

I've been looking for that since I heard the interview a couple of weeks ago - But the site was down everytime I visited it. Is there a link to somewhere else with the source?

Yes there is a link to a .NET Library for implementation of the Bittorrent Protocol. Go to this link: http://cplan.cse.msu.edu/cs/blogs/smithiscrazy/
Here u will get the source code for BtSharp and also the Bittorrent.dll file which can be used in VB.NET.
Inform me whether it Helped you. I'm glad i could be of some help!!
