Do you have Office 2003 installed on the machine that you're using Visual Studio with?

I recently went through an MSDN call regarding a problem with my application working with different versions of Office, and they said that you need to install the version of Office you want the application to work with on the development box to get the reference.

Hope this helps... Big Grin | :-D

Hi,
Does anyone know any api that could replace hex character?I want to replace null character(00) into space character(20) when I import a text file into DataBase.Thanks.

What do you mean by "hex character"? Do you mean a character where you express the character code in hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal numbers are written using the &H notaion. The value 32, or hexadecimal 20, are written as &H20.

To create a character value from a numerical value, you use the Chr function.

If you put those togheter, you get Chr(&H20) to produce a space character.

Do you have problems with the replacing part? How about the Replace function?

---
b { font-weight: normal; }

LOL - when I saw &H20, I thought it said H2O, and that you were kidding....

if it does not work then your asp_net user do not have rights to use the word. go to control panel and in user accounts change the asp net user from limited to adminsitrator. Hopefully this will reolve your problem.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to convert a string format date e.g "13/07/2006" to a date. I am getting an error "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".
How can i convert it to "MM/dd/yyyy" format.

Please reply
thanks,
Sanded

Use the DateTime.ParseExact method.

---
b { font-weight: normal; }

hey
u can use any of this...
1.FormatDateTime(frDate, DateFormat.ShortDate)
2.cDate(frdate) this is best method to convert ur string .

Parag

first import System.Globalization namespace

'create an object of culture info
Dim myCI As New CultureInfo("en-US", False)
'take culture info's clone
Dim myCIclone As CultureInfo = CType(myCI.Clone(), CultureInfo)
'customise its date pattern
myCIclone.DateTimeFormat.DateSeparator = "/"
myCIclone.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy"
'parse date string with this pattern
DateTimePicker1.Value = DateTime.Parse("13/07/2006", myCIclone.DateTimeFormat)

and u have done !;)

my application is actually a web application where i manually upload CSV file to the database.but i want to automate the process,so i have thought of a second stage to this application i.e through a windows application i would download the CSV file from the NSEIndia.com site automatically and then upload the same to SQLServer on the server.i am facing a problem with upload i.e exporting the data to the database.it would be a great help to me if any one could provide me a solution either in VB.Net code or C# code.

Hi All

,

I'm new in VB6.I have some doubts regarding forms.Basically my project consist of 2 forms(Form1 & Form2).Form1 is working perfectly fine.But when Form2 is load,the functions in it tends to slow down.But the codes is the same as Form1.Anyone met this prob before?I tried setting the timer faster but the outcome is the same.Thanks in advance.

Never heard of the problem before. There's go to to be something in your code that's doing it. You mentioned Timers? Are you doing things on both forms at the same time? This might have something to do with it...

Why are you learning VB6?? It's pretty much a dead product. You can get VB.NET 2005 Express Edition for free here[^].

Oh,i know VB.NET is a more updated version.But i'm handling a project that
is previously done by other people.He uses VB6 so i have to continue with it.
Regarding the timers,at only 1 time,only an event is executed.But i have set timer6 in Form1 as well as Form2.After proceeding from Form1 to Form2,i hope that the events at Form1 won't be executed.But i also don't want to unload it as i need it at a later part.I cant possibly declare all timers disabled at Form2 as there are a large number of timers at Form1.So i hope someone can help me with this.Thanks alot.
