I am using visual studio.net, vb.net
sql server
msde
I am sending an email asking a question with a Y/N answer
Is it possible to button click Y/N in an email and change a db field
Is it possible to click a button in an email and have that
change a field in a database?
Example:
I want to send an email to a customer and ask them if they are over
the age of 30 Y/N?
Can the Y/N value be returned in an email and automatically change the db field to
Y or N?

Yes. It'll work just like as Web Application. The body of the email contains an HTML page. Clicking a button on that page posts the response back to your web server, exactly like any WebForms app.

He asked if it was possible. Yep, it is!
You're right, though. I didn't mention that it wasn't a good idea!

I am pulling data from a MSAccess database and displaying the data in a datagrid using a DataGridTableStyle.
How do I add a button or drop down list to the DataGrid.
With .GridColumnStyles
.Add(New DataGridBoolColumn(tblCrrncMngr.GetItemProperties.Item(CODE_TABLE)))
With .Item(0)
.MappingName = "COPY_LINE"
.HeaderText = "FLAG"
.Width = 50
.NullText = String.Empty
End With
.Add(New DataGridTextBoxColumn(tblCrrncMngr.GetItemProperties.Item(CODE_TABLE)))
With .Item(1)
.MappingName = "OPTION"
.HeaderText = "OPTION"
.Width = 100
.NullText = String.Empty
End With
End with

Can someone please point me to some good references that will tell me how to control a Visual Studio deployment project?
Through trial-n-error, I just spent more than a day building my first deployment project. The biggest problem/frustration was getting the files to go into the 'right' directories. I've got at least a half dozen VB.Net books. Only the college text book mentions deployment in any detail, but it's working with some simple examples.
I've got lots of questions and I can probably dig out most of the answers if there is a good book or web site out there about deployment projects.
Thanks for the help. You can reply here on the board or via e-mail to CP@lastnamesoftware.net.

A deployment project should be quick and easy. What sort of application do you mean to deploy?

Thanks for the help guys. The links from ProgLoad were great. I re-built the installer last night in just over an hour.
Johnny, the install isn't too complicated. A single EXE in a sub-directory under Program Files with the Help files in a sub-directory under that. The data files are in two directories (Data and Backup) under Documents & Settings. One of my problems was managing the project properties, which aren't where I expected them.

The "eval" command does not exist in VB. I wish to do something that is possible in other languages:
<br />
For x As Integer = 1 to 10<br />
Dim eval("obj" & x) As myObject<br />
eval("obj" & x).setting = value<br />
<br />
Next<br />
<br />
An immediate answer is, "Create an array of objects!". Problem: the "myObject" throws events that I need to handle. If I create an array of "myObject"s, the objects can no longer throw events... even if they did, how would you handle them?
<br />
Sub Handle_myObject() Handles ... ?<br />
End Sub<br />
What would it handle?
 I am stuck on this one. Any help is appreciated.

Just because it's possible in other languages, doesn't make it a good programming practice.

It is the answer!

Not true! Create your array of objects, remembering to execute a AddHandler statement to manually wire up the event handlers.
For i As Integer = 1 to 10
Dim newObject As New WhateverClass
AddHandler newObject.eventToHandle, AddressOf objectEventHandler
objArray(i) = newObject ' Or whatever your using to store the instances
Next
.
.
.
Private Sub objectEventHandler(parameters)
' blah, blah, blah
End Sub
AddHandler[^] docs. Don't forget to disconnect the handlers with RemoveHandler before the objects die!

Is there a simple and fast way to tell if a file is locked by another process?
I need to ensure that a zipfile is not locked by another process prior to adding a new file.
|
|
|
|
|
Since it is possible for another process to aquire a lock in the time it takes from checking to trying to open the file* yourself I would suggest the better approach is to set up a try/catch mechanism to catch the condition where the file is locked.
Yes, I know it sounds like a tiny amount of time - a few processor instructions - but since Windows is a preemptive multitasking environment there is a strong possibility that the operating system will intervene to give another process its fair share of processor time

I am calling the DynaZip ActiveX control which is returning the ZE_CREAT errormessage (see below). I would think that the ActiveX control would allow you to handle locked files, but I can't find any property that applies. I was attempting to determine if the file was locked prior to calling the control. I may attempt to call this process in a loop until it returns a successful zip message (or another error).
Thanks for the assist.
ZE_CREAT = could not create output file - This error can occur when the target ZIP file or the directory to contain the ZIP file is locked or restricted by another.

i have a search textbox and search button on the MainForm (MdiParent). when users clicks on search button it shows the search results from the customer table in ChildForm's dataGridView. but since i only show the same instance of the ChildForm, it only works for the first time. how do i show the new search results without creating new ChildForm instance?
Thanks

are you using a dataset result and databinding the grid each time you search? Or have you bound the grid at design time?
Johny

The results are datasets.
|
|
|
|
|
try clearing the datset on each click event before your databind call.
like
mydataset.clear()
mydataadapter.fill(mydataset)
mydatagrid.datasource = mydataset
mydatagrid.databind()
or you can create a temp table and use a command builder to run updates on that table.
