There is no level on which you can send one number and recieve another. It's got to be the way in which the number is being handled in code. What's send ? Are you using WM_COPYDATA to send stuff between applications ? If not, what are you using ?

As you may have noticed by the discussion that happened around this question, what you're doing is just plain terrible. It's just not the right way to go. You have options that are sensible, mainly the ones I listed when I asked. You never answered, BTW, without Dave's comment I'd be even less able to help you. The best help I can offer is to scrap what you're doing, and do it properly.

Hi,
In my application I have a form with some comboboxes on it. These comboboxes are all bound to different datasets. When the form shows, I can select a different index in the combobox, the text is adjusted as expected. To here, I encounter no problems.
In some cases, when the form is loaded, I want to select a value in the combobox that I obtained by accessing my database.
Example of my code:
cboIncidentType.SelectedValue = curIncident.IncidentErrorType
Now, for some reason, the selectedValue is not set to what I define in my code, but to the first index in the combobox.
Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Thanks!

This depends on when this code is being called. If you're doing this at the beginning of the Form_Load event, the ComboBoxes haven't been filled yet...

The comboboxes are filled before the selectedValue is set.
When selectedIndex 0 is returned, the datafield (text) of index 0 is shown, only it is not the index I tried to set.

I have icluded an SQL database file in my application and it now uses sqlexpress to attach that and use that file. It workes good but now I have to deploy sqlexpress 2005 with my application and it requires SP2 for Windows XP. Is there any other way I can use this SQL file without forcing all the customers to install SP2?
Any help is good because I'm desperate.

Nope. It's the minimum system requirement for 2005. An older version MSDE, like MSDE 2000, on the other hand, doesn't require SP2. This will, of course, depend on your applications requirements.

If MSDE 2000 can handle connection string below then you have solved my problem:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ptcdb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
But then I have one more question  How can I add it in my prerequisites list in vs 2005?

MSDE was the predecessor to SQL Express. The name changed when 2005 came out.

OK so far I managed to do everything but connecting to msde none of the connection strings I've tried worked.

Is there a way to override the code that vb.net generates for Deletes, Updates and Inserts?
The code generated is slowing down my app for these functions, especially for only 1 record.
I'm using the BindingNavigator controls to add, update, delete, etc.
PPOBindingSource.EndEdit()
PPOTableAdapter.Update(Me.DwCustomDataSetPPO.BenefitAdj_PPO)
Is there someway to over ride what Vb generated and create mo own code for these functions?
The generated code is inefficient and convoluted.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Mike

Developing a windows application with VB.Net under VS 2005. I am wondering if anyone knows how I can prevent validation events from firing if the user clicks on the control box close button to exit a form. I do not want to set the CausesValidation property on all of the form controls to False as I do want validation events to fire if the user is tabbing from control to control. However, the control box close button presents an apparently ugly issue because, when clicked, not only does the validation event for the control being exited fire but the FormClosing event still fires even if the validation event fails and the program issues a Cancel. Has anyone else run across this problem and found an elegant solution?
Thank you...
|
|

|

Well, the most "elegant" solution I've come up with so far is that the cancel property of the FormClosingEventArgs is set to True at the start of the event when a control just failed validation. So, I can check that property and if it is set to True as soon as the event starts, just skip any other code in the event. I would feel better about this solution if I could trust Microsoft not to change the behavior of CausesValidation to something that actually makes logical sense in a future update or revision. If anyone thinks they have a better solution, please let me know.

Its near on impossible to tell you what the syntax error is from what you have provided, but here are some tips.
1) You are mixing '+' and '&' for string concatentation - pick one and stick with it.
2) You should not be building up a SQL query in this way, it is unsafe and leaves you open to SQL Injection attacks.
3) Try writing out the content of SrchKey after building this string to a messagebox (for example) - it will help you spot the error (Which is likely to be a missing quote, or a missing comma)

Hmmm.... A few things...
1. Be consistent with the string concatenation... use & rather than +.
2. Put single quotes around all string values. SQL won't accept them otherwose.
3. Check that any numeric values you enter are properly constructed in VB (e.g. this line SrchKey = SrchKey & -1 & "," really should be like this SrchKey = SrchKey & "-1,".
4. Debug the app and breakpoint at the point where the entrie string has been constructed. Inspect it for syntax errors.

And for the love of SQL, scrap this thing and use a parameterized query instead!! You've just found out one huge reason why!! Search the articles for "SQL Injection" and look for the article by Colin Angus Mackay. It has an explaination of how to do this.

Hi,
I have an application that compresses SQL data backups and writes it to a DVD-RAM drive on a daily basis.
How could programmatically format the DVD in VB6/.Net?
Thanxs!

There is nothing in the Win32 API that will do this. You'll have to find an application that does this already or see if there is an SDK for the DVD burner software that you have installed.
