Yeah, I know.  His code is messed up in so many different directions, I didn't want his head to explode when he read your article.
But I do have your article bookmarked so I can refer people to it quickly! 
Great job!

I see what you are saying. I am new to this thing and I have tried looking at a book ,but I have not found the question that I was looking for. I know I still need the book for all of the basic stuff I have not learned yet and this ia a problem that happens when you teach yorself. I think that I can make this code work though, The sqldatasource1 is a feature in Microsoft web development that has the connection and basic sql query. This could be like you said a dead end and I may have to start over and I will if that is what it comes to. Basically the best way I learn is to just sit down and try to make something. I have built several little programs and website in just a few weeks where if I was in a class or following the book I would not have been able to do this. I appreciate all of the advice that I have received though.

I do see what your saying because I'm completely self taught. There isn't a single computer class that I haven't walked into and been able to teach it on-the-fly.
But, there is so much wrong with your code on so many levels, I can't even begin to describe how to get it to work, other than scrapping it and starting over. Understand each line of code before you move on to the next. You have to understand what the classes your using require and how to build up those pre-req's first, like the SqlDataSource.

Yes it is. The problem is your actually making it harder on yourself by not getting the basics first. You're trying to climb Mount Everest without having climbed a simple hill first. Learn to hike before your learn to climb. It'll make throwing these applications together much easier and quicker in the long run. Take it from someone who's been there and done it the hard way. Now that I have all the basics down and the concepts, I can pick up any language and write code using it, without having seen it before.

I appreciate the advice and before starting another project I will try to master the basics.

In addition to Dave's comments, you should NEVER use the text from a textbox in a select like this without first cleaning it to protect from injection attacks.
Like Dave said, you're really lost at sea here, you need to abandon this project for now, buy a beginners book and work through it. One other point - you should never keep the default variable names. What makes textbox1 different from textbox2 ? How about txtInput and txtOutput. See how that would make your code more readable ?

Hi, my problem is that I have a tab control, consisting of 4 tab pages and 4 user controls, 1 user control on each tab page. I would like to call the event method tabcontrol.selectedindex changed to load the data into the user control when the user clicks on the form, and not immediately when the selected index is changed. I need this because when certain users open the application the application will hide/remove a tab page if the user does not have access to that particular page. Upon removal, visual studio.net sets the selected index to the page index immediately before the one being removed. My loading of data was originally located within the load method of the user control itself, but this is causing my application to lag at startup when I need to remove a tabpage because it is loading that page when I remove the tabpage.
My code currently looks like eg.:
Public Sub tcCompany_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tc_Company.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case UCase(Me.tc_Company.SelectedTab.Name)
Case "TP_COMPANYNOTES" 'checks to see if user clicked the notes page
If Me.tcmediator.p_ucNotes.comb_companyName.Items.Count <= 0 Then 'checks if combo has data
Call Me.tcmediator.p_ucNotes.userClickedForm() 'loads data
End If
Case "TP_COMPANYCREDIT" 'checks to see if user clicked the credit page
If Me.tcmediator.p_ucCredit.comb_companyName.Items.Count <= 0 Then 'checks if combo has data
Call Me.tcmediator.p_ucCredit.userClickedForm() 'loads data
End If
end select
end sub
Thanks for the help

Why not load your control when it becomes visible for the first time ?

Hi Christian, thank you for your input, I can't load the control during the load method of the control because the control on the 4th tab page loads immediately after deleting the 5th tab page, because the tab control automatically sets the selected index to the index of the control...not sure how to explain this, but if you delete tab page 5, then the tab control within visual studio will set the selected index to tab 4 upon loading the tab control. when that happens tab 4's load method will execute causing the loading of the form to be an extra 3 seconds slower than it needs to be. Not too sure if that answers your question/answer. or if I am way off base could you explain your solution a little more please? thank you.

No, I meant during the visible changed event. When it becomes visible.

I would think that you can not do this from an application.It seems to me that it would be too much of a security risk, but if you find out how let me know.

It is possible - but you have to PInvoke native functions in Windows to achieve it.

You'll have to pInvoke the ExitWindowsEx[^] function in the Win32 API.
Here in an example[^].

I'm creating a small room reservation program in which the user can reserve a room number for a certain amount of time on a certain date.
Let's say room 2 is reserved on 3-3-2006 between 7:00 and 11:00. How can I prevent users from placing a reservation with a starting time, or an ending time, between 7 and 11? They shouldn't be allowed to make a reservation from 8:00 till 9:00, neither should they from 10:00 till 12:00.
I've tried everything, but I have no clue. The only thing I have so far is code that checks whether an exact record exists. So if someone already reserved room 2 on 3-3-2006 at 7:00 till 11:00, an error will show.
I've tried something like this:
SELECT StartTime, EndTime, Date, Comment, Room, PersonID, ID<br />
FROM tblReserveringen<br />
WHERE (StartTime BETWEEN '13:00' AND '14:00') AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
OR (EndTime BETWEEN '13:00' AND '14:00') AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
As you can see, I tried to work with parameters. When a record matching the conditions is found, the submission is cancelled. Now if only I could make those time cells variable with parameters, like the rest of -em! Something like:
SELECT StartTime, EndTime, Date, Comment, Room, PersonID, ID<br />
FROM tblReserveringen<br />
WHERE (StartTime BETWEEN (StartTime= ?) AND (EndTime= ?)) AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
OR (EndTime BETWEEN (StartTime= ?) AND (EndTime= ?)) AND (Room= ?) AND (Date= ?)<br />
Unfortuately, above code does not work (the first example does). Is it even possible what I want?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!
Can you loop enum elements?
Ex:
<br />
public enum eSize<br />
Small<br />
Medium<br />
Large<br />
end enum<br />
<br />
For each vSize as eSize in eSize.Elements<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />
next<br />
<br />

You could use the Enum class' .GetValues shared function..
<br />
For each vSize as eSize in Enum.GetValues(GetType(eSize))<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />
Next<br />

Thanks!
Had to put the brackets in there but now it works like a charm!

For each vSize as eSize in [Enum].GetValues(GetType(eSize))<br />
DoStuff(vSize)<br />

Yes, you use the static methods defined in the <code>Enum</code> class
Heres some test code for you. The button on my test for was button3
enum MyEnum
{
Foo,
Bar,
Laa,
Noe
}
private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string [] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum));
MyEnum[] enums = (MyEnum[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));
for(int i=0;i<names.Length;i++)
{
MessageBox.Show( String.Format("DoSomething({0})",names[i]));
DoSomething(enums[i]);
}
}
private void DoSomething(MyEnum e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
}

Hello
I want to set the width of each columns in datagrid separately but not able to do that. I am using datagrid and datatable in my project the codes are as follows.
Dim Mytable as new datatable
Mytable.columns.add(“srno”, gettype, string))
Mytable.columns.add(“name”, gettype,( string))
Mytable.columns.add(“designation”, gettype,( string))
Mytable.columns.add(“remarks”, gettype,( string))
Datagrid1.datasourse = mytable
datagrid1.preferredcoloumswidth = 74
Now my problem is all the coloumns are OF the same width, as I wanted different width of different column. As of now all the columns have the same width whereas I don’t need so much width for the SRNO and need more wider colums in REMARKS. Please suggest how can I solve this problem.
Thanks alot

You have to modify the DataGrids TableStyles collection to get at the column widths.
Dim ts As DataGridTableStyle = DataGrid1.TableStyles("columnName")
ts.Width = someValue

I tried the one you suggested
Dim ts as datagridtablestyle = datagrid1.tablestyles(“REMARKS”)
Ts.preferredcoloumns = 100
I HAD THIS ERRORS
“Object reference not set to an instance of an object”
Kindly check pls.
Thanks alot for your time.

Sorry, I had rectal-cranial inversion...
DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables("MyTable")
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "MyTable"
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
ts.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 15

Sorry but it still has erros
I tried you codes but still I have one more error sending you my declarations
DECLARATION
Dim mytable As New DataTable
Dim ds As New DataSet
ON FORM LOAD
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ContactPerson", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("DESIGNATION", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("PHONENO", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("EXTN", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("CELLNO", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("SALESMAN", GetType(String)))
mytable.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("REMARKS", GetType(String)))
Me.DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables("mytable")
Dim ts As New DataGridTableStyle
ts.MappingName = "mytable"
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ts)
Me.DataGrid1.DataSource = mytable
ts.GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 100
ERROS IS HERE (index is out of range: MUST BE NEGATIVE AND LESS THAN THE SIZE OF THE COLLECTIONS)
Thanks again for you help and you Suggestionss
Thanks again
