The openFileDialog object may be a better fit for your application.
Again, sorry I misunderstood your question. I have updated my earlier response to reflect this.

lets say i have 2 winforms A and B
on A i have a button that pops B
like
Private Sub btnPoP_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPoP.Click
Dim aFrmAlertPopUp As New B(SomeUniqueID)
aFrmAlertPopUp.display(messages)
End Sub
it will pop a instance of B, it will pass a number id value to the property SomeUniqueID of B.
lets say i click the button 3 times and pass the values
Dim aFrmAlertPopUp As New B(123)
Dim aFrmAlertPopUp As New B(456)
Dim aFrmAlertPopUp As New B(789)
then I want to terminate only instance '456'
if I call
aFrmAlertPopUp.stop(), it kills the 3
is it possible to use something like getProperty to get 1 of the 3 instances and stop it?

What you've done here is to create a new instance of form B each time the button is pressed on form A, but you have not stored the reference to that form object anywhere.
In effect you have lost the reference to each form after you exit form A's btnPoP_Click() event handler.
You need to keep the references to all forms created in a 2-dimensional array or even better - a Hashtable. That array or Hashtable needs to be instantiated outside of the Click() event - perhaps in form A's initialization.
Whenever you create a new form B in btnPoP_Click(), store the new form B's reference into the array or Hashtable along with the unique data value to identify it.

Good evening.
I am using VB.net / Framework 2.0
Does anybody know whether there is an easy way to get the last node(s) of treeview ?
Or is there a possibility to get the last node(s) moving throug a treenode collection and accessing the last node directly ?
Best regards Theo

I have the following code in Excel VBA that I'm trying to convert to VB.NET:
Workbooks.OpenText(Filename:= _<br />
"C:\temp.txt", Origin:=437, StartRow:= _<br />
1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _<br />
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, TAB:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True _<br />
, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 2), Array(2, 2), _<br />
Array(3, 2), Array(4, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True)
I've converted everything except the array portion (arrColumnDataType shown below with ???). I'm having a problem coming up with the proper array in VB.NET to put in this code:
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application<br />
xlApp = CType(CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel.Application)<br />
xlApp.Application.Visible = True<br />
Dim strReportName As String = "C:\temp.txt"<br />
<br />
??? How do I define arrColumnDataType ???<br />
<br />
xlApp.Workbooks.OpenText(strReportName, 437, 1, _<br />
Excel.XlTextParsingType.xlDelimited, _<br />
Excel.XlTextQualifier.xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote, False, False, False, _<br />
True, False, False, False, arrColumnDataType, , , , , True)
I know that the array is defined as (column number, format) where format is:
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlGeneralFormat = 1
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlTextFormat = 2
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlMDYFormat = 3
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlDMYFormat = 4
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlYMDFormat = 5
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlMYDFormat = 6
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlDYMFormat = 7
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlYDMFormat = 8
Excel.XlColumnDataType.xlSkipColumn = 9
I just can't seem to get a proper array setup that the compiler likes. Does anyone have a suggestion? Has anyone coded this type of project with success. I'm using VS 2005, but I just upgraded about two weeks ago. Is there an easier way in 2.0? Thanks

I always like to follow-up even if a posting that I made is unanswered. Sometimes when you're looking for a programming answer on a message board and you find the exact problem you're having, it is disheartening when there was no answer posted.
Here is the solution that I received on another message board:
http://gotdotnet.com/Community/MessageBoard/Thread.aspx?id=363074&Page=1#363383[^]
Hope someone benefits from the answer in the future.

I am facing the following problem while reading from a file.
FileOpen(filenum, myfilename, OpenMode.Input)
Data = LineInput(filenum).
The Exception is raised even though the File is closed.
Exception raised is as mentioned below:
System.IO.IOException: Bad file name or number. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.GetChannelObj(Assembly assem,
Int32 FileNumber) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.GetStream(Assembly assem, Int32 FileNumber, OpenModeTypes mode) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.GetStream(Assembly assem, Int32 FileNumber) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.LineInput(Int32 FileNumber)
It will be of great help to me.
Thanks,
Praveen.

Read the error message again - it tells you what the problem is...

Hint: Have you assigned correct and valid values to filenum and myfilename?

hi steve,
The same code is working without any Bad FileName or number error, provided i have to run the code without placing any breakpoint for that respective line.What may be the reason i am wondering about it.
ya i gave freefile() before fileOpen in my earlier code.

What type of database are you trying to connect to? What is the table structure defined as?
|
|
|
|
|
The database is Microsoft Access. It has one Table called Table1. The table has 3 fields - Date, Task, Duration and a Auto Number ID Primary Key Field.
Please let me know if you need more info
Thanks

I want to attach the files and folder images with their respective nodes.
Earlier I got the reply in the form of following code.
Private myimagelist as new imagelist
dim icon as Drawing.icon
myimagelist.colordepth = colordepth.depth32bit
myimagelist.imagesize = new size(16,16)
icon = me.icon
myimagelist.image.add(new drawing.icon(icon ,16 ,16))
treeview.imagelist=myimagelist
Now my question is divided in two parts
1. C:\Document and settings
2. C:\a.txt
In the first case I want to combine the image of folder docomentand settings
but how I will extract the docoment and settings folder icon and How it will be possible to write
icon = "C:\Document and settings"
Same is for the second case
