OK. WM_COPYDATA is still the easiest method for inter process communication.

If the client is on the very same network you and your SQL Server are on, there shouldn't be any problem at all. They should be able to PING your SQL Server using the exact same name and/or IP address specified in your Data Source clause. If the PING works, then the SQL connection should also work. That is unless there is some piece of networking between the two preventing the connection.
Just because you're using 192.168.x.x and your client is using 192.168.x.x doesn't mean that your address will work on their network. If there is another network in between, like the Internet, there will be no route between the two networks and communication will fail.
If that's the case, you have to be more specific about how both networks are setup and what hardware is involved and where.

Have you configured your SQL Server to allow remote connections? I believe SQL 2005 Express, by default does not allow remote connections.

Hi All
I have made one application which logs to a government website from my application.
For that purpose i have created a web browser on my form and i have specified that particular URL name.
As soon as i run that form it opens that particular website
Now In that website there is 2 textboxes (user name and password) and 2 buttons (submit and cancel)
When I count no. of item by webbrowser1.controls.items.count() gives me 4
Is there a way to access these controls directly from my application by using webbrowser.controls.items(0).text = "XYZ"
something like this.......I am not able to get through with this
Also I can find a particular string in the document by
webbrowser1.document.outertext.contains("ABC") returns .T. , but how to select that particluar text automatically after finding it.
Please Help....Its Very Urgent......
Thanx In Advance

In visual studio 2003, vb.net can i use the data in a dataset to insert into a different table on a different server i.e. insert into othertable select * from dataset
Any ideas??
---------------------------------
no no don't do it
|
|
|
|

Sure. But you have to manage the RowState of each DataRow in each DataTable in the DataSet yourself. Those records won't be tagged for Insert (or RowState.Added) and, as a result, the DataAdapter you use on the new database won't know that they're supposed to be inserted.

Thanks, it worked.
I had to handle each row individualy, like this:
...
da.Fill(dsLocal)
Dim dsServ As DataSet = New DataSet
myDataAdapter.FillSchema(dsServ, SchemaType.Source)
Dim dw As DataRow
For Each dw In dsLocal.Tables(0).Rows
dsServ.Tables(0).Rows.Add(dw.ItemArray)
Next
myDataAdapter.Update(dsServ)
...
I take it that's what you meant?

I am trying to figure out what to make a homework project on and have gotten some major brain block lol. I am needing some ideas, not coding, that would work for my project covering all the listed requirements.
The project has to have 6 forms and data from two of those forms from option buttons, check boxes and text boxes must be passed back and forth and be modified using back button.
It must include the following:
(including the normal for all forms, text boxes, labels, etc)
Select Case
For/Next
Do/While
Message Box (3 parameters)
Random Numbers
Read/Write Random Access File
Read/Write Sequential Access File
The following string munipulations
Left
Right
Mid
Instr
Trim
UCase
Any ideas will be appreciated. I have thought of a few things, but none seem to be able to cover all requirements.

If it's VB.NET, don't use these, use the ones that are on the string class.

Yes it is vb.net. Unfortunately I have to use those. That is what my instructor is requiring. That is part of why I am having such a hard time trying to decide what to do. Anytime I think of an idea, it doesn't cover all requirements.
I have thought about just going through and making examples of each being used ("This is an example of Left String Manipulation" and so on), but don't think my instructor would like that or that I would get a decent grade lol.
I have considered the project being like an accounting or such, with the files being "client" data. I could use a 2D array for getting the data outta the file for use. Accessing the data I can cover both the sequential and random access. I could probably do one of the string manip's by making first and last name 1 value in the array. But then, where could I fit in using a random number, and no clue how I could fit in smoothly using the other string manip's hes wanting us to use.
I know I feel that we are having to do a bunch of extra coding when there is simplier ways, but I don't have that choice since this is for my class project. I do think hes expecting alot outta 6 forms, and it STILL look good and run smoothly.

No, you don't. Instead, you can turn in a project that comments on why those methods are deprecated, and poor practice.
If I were you, I'd do that, and if you were marked down, I'd go to the principal and complain that you were marked down for refusing to learn bad practice from a bad teacher. At an absolute minimum, I'd use those methods and add a comment that has the name of the string. method that you should use, and explaining why.
Tretanya wrote: Anytime I think of an idea, it doesn't cover all requirements.
I think your instructor is an idiot. I actually think that it's really hard to contrive a project based on a list of methods you will use, and it's not conducive to good coding to say 'I ned a while loop here somewhere', instead of just writing an app the way that seems right.
How about a quiz program ? You could use a file format that forces you to use string manipulation to get the answers out of the file, and note that this is convoluted code, written to meet the requirements. Then you can randomise the order in which potential answers are shown. I'm thinking you'll use left, right and mid to split out hte answers, and your comment will be that string.split is what you'd have used if not for the requirements )

There's a problem with that. I am not in high school. This is for a 3000 level college course. When an instructor assigns a project, unless they state that we can adjust the assignment to fit what we are programming better, we can not. I do understand the instructor giving us a list of requirements for our program, to help him know what we actually learned in the course, i just dont understand his choices for some of the requirements.
I might not like some of his requirements for the project, but I do have to meet those requirements. Same thing in the real world. A customer will have certain requirements that must be met, atleast then they won't be coding requirements like in this project.

Then they have no business teaching you anything about VB6. A compiler that Microsoft no longer supports!

Yep. Somebody offered me a job about 3 months ago in VB6. I told him I only know VB.Net on top of C#.Net. That didn't fly with the guy. Guess some people just don't catch on?

It sickens me to see classes like this, still teaching VB6. Granted, there is still a large base of VB6 users and apps out there, but damn(!), it's worth upgrading! I dropped all my VB6 developement the DAY I got my hands on the .NET 1.0 Beta. Stuff you find in the .NET Framework would have to be written from scratch in VB6. Why anyone would want to keep wasting their time and money on a legacy platform is beyond me.
Hmmm...let me see, drop a couple controls in a VB.NET form, a few lines of code... and Done! In VB6, File->New->Project, OpenFileDialog.vb...

And the thing is, I teach a VB.Net course and it gets old when I have to explain the differences between VB6 and VB.Net.

It is not vb6, it is vb.net. I stated that earlier on in my second post I think.

Yeah, but the functions he's asking you to use are all native to VB6. Their in the VB.NET Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace for backward compatibility, not becuase they're the best way of doing things.

I think he's being lazy, he should think of the project, so you can focus on writing the code.
Tretanya wrote: This is for a 3000 level college course.
Then you need to decide if you're willing to not make a fuss about a teacher who is going to teach you badly. IMO it sucks that they teach VB at all, but to teach it wrong ? I guess it's not different to the bad C++ courses they've had over the years ( teaching it as C )

No, in the real world you may have to discuss dumb features, but you are free to write them as you like.

I didn't say that the coding wouldn't be up to me. As I quoted from my previous post, the requirements won't be coding requirements.
