Thanks again Kschuler.
I did the debugging and the values for the drCustomersSearch comes back as Nothing. I guess when it cant find the row it returns Nothing as the value. I did a check for Nothing, but still got the NullReferenceException. Not sure how to work around this. Might have to rethink the whole approach.

When you say that you are checking for nothing, are you checking just the DataRow object? I think your code should look something like this:
dtCustomersUpdate = DsNameandAddress.Tables.Item("NameandAddress")
drCustomersSearch = dtCustomersUpdate.Rows.Find(txtSearch.Text)
If drCustomersSearch Is Nothing Then
MessageBox.Show("Customer could not be found.")
Else
If drCustomersSearch("MortgageNumber") Is DBNull.Value Then
MessageBox.Show("Your entry is not a valid Mortgage number." & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "Try search again.", "Input Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
txtSearch.Focus()
txtMortgageNumber.Text = ""
Else : txtMortgageNumber.Text = drCustomersSearch("MortgageNumber")
End If
End If

The problem is you're trying to get the value of a row that doesn't exist. Since your call to dtCustomersUpdate.Rows.Find() returned Nothing, you have to check if drCustomersSearch is Nothing before you try and do anything with it.
drCustomersSearch = dtCustomersUpdate.Rows.Find(txtSearch.Text)
If Not drCustomersSearch Is Nothing Then
If drCustomersSearch("MortgageNumber") Is DBNull.Value Then
MessageBox.Show(blah, blah, blah)
txtSearch.Focus()
txtMortgageNumber.Text = ""
Else
txtMortgageNumber.Text = drCustomersSearch("MortgageNumber")
End If
Else
' The search didn't find anything, handle this case...
End If
It's standard practice to check to see if any object actually exists before you try and use it.

Thanks Kschuler, Dave!
I had checked it for being Nothing before and was still getting the NullReference, but when i checked if Not Nothing, it seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the advice.

Hi all.
I'd search in the board how an can get text that is at the coordinate x,y (I have a flexgrid on external program and want to get the text of some row/column by its x,y coordinates).
I didn't found nothing. Can someone help me?
Please, help me.
Thx in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco Alves.

You can't. The control has to export the functionality to do that, and it doesn't. There is no Win32 API calls you can make to easily force the text out of the control.
An alternative would be to implement a kind of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read the text from a bitmap screenshot image.

In C#, VB, Managed C++, or VC++?

In any language.
If it is not possible, how I can get number of rows of a msflexgrid of a external program?

See if this helps.

i'm currently working on a program to capture a manually higlighted text/chars in AXwebbrowser object. is there any way that i could capture that event in run-time? if there's none. is there any alternative that i could use?

There is no such event exposed by the Browser control.

AFAIK, the Browser control doesn't respond to WM_GETTEXT message the way you would expect it to. So, no, there is no alternative to it.

aside from relying on the browser control. is there any way that i could handle the highlighted text and store it's value to a variable.

You just asked the exact same question you did in your original post. There's no way to get at that text, so there's no way to get it into a variable.

Hi,
I want to print multiple values in the same Parameter Field of Crystal Report. I fetch data from table in loop and assign it to a Parameter Field. My problem is that it overwrites the last value, I want it to Display as New Value for the same Parameter Field in a new row. I'm writing the sample code below to make it clear.
For count = 0 To 2
crReportDocument.SetParameterValue(0, "Amit" & CStr(count))
crReportDocument.SetParameterValue(1, count)
Next
Now for the Parameter Field 0 and 1, the value printed in report is
Amit 2 2
But I want my output to be
Amit0 0
Amit1 1
Amit2 2
My requirement is such that I cannot bind Crystal Report to a datasource.(pity). I have to define Parameter Field and supply values to them through the code.
An early reply or suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hi
I created an application using vb.net,which logs the error in event viewer. This application is working well at XP and windows 2003. But at windows 2000, it is showing error. Can any1 please tell me, what are changes i need to make in the system or code, so as to execute it on windows 2000.
Thanks in advance

First, Windows 2000 has to have at least Service Pack 4 installed.
Next, check to make sure that the account your running your app under has sufficient rights to write to the event log.
Lastly, you might want to post the error message your getting when you run your app.
Oh!! There are no changes you have to make to your code, it should work already with no changes.

I have given Admin rights to internet user as well as ASPNET user.
I have also made changes in the registry of Event Log so as to allow guest.
Please let me know is there any solution for this.....
Thanks for your reply

The problem is, I don't know what you, or someone else, did to break it in the first place! This should be working by default!
Does the NETWORKSERVICE account have rights?

Hello,
I've created a call reporting app using SQL Express edition as the local data source, and have packaged it up, and deployed it on another machine. Once I installed it on the other machine, the program runs fine, and I can see that my data has populated in some forms.
How do I gain access to those tables? After my app installed, I only see an executeable to launch the program, and cannot locate the tables with data in it anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
Rashar
