Could you clarify what you want? Do you want to give the user the option of sizing them, should they resize with the form. If you just want them to get bigger or smaller when the form changes size try using the anchor property.

I've noticed that when the visible property is set to false, the control's data is not available by code. Does this make sense? I've had to hide my controls that hold data behind other controls. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

What data do you mean? Like the text in a textbox or items in a listbox? That data is available. The visibilty of the control shouldn't effect that type of information. Maybe you could give a more specific instance.

the actual control such as a textbox. When the visable property is set to false, the controls.text is not available in code. This is happening with Visual Studio 2005 Pro. It is not just one form either. It's happening on all my forms in myh project.

Strange as I don't get that behavior? When you say it's not available what exactly do you mean? Do you mean the text property returns nothing? Let's try a simple example. Create a new project and add a button and a textbox to your form. Add some text in the text property of the textbox and set it's visible property to false. Then in the button click event display the text in a msgbox. Does the text display correctly?

Which version of VB are you talking about?? The only instance I've ever heard of this happening is coding in Access.

I doesn't matter if the control is visible or not. You can always get to the properties of the controls.
What's the error you're getting and what does the code look like where it's happening?

I've used Access for a long time and never had a problem. I've used VB.net for about 3 months and was surprised that this was the case and therefore the question. I don't get any error, just 0 or Null when the control property set to false.;)

Is their any code that can shred files so that they cannot be recovered?
Can i use directoryinfo.delete to delete files so that they cannot be recovered?
Thanks for any help!

Sure, but it depends on who you want this functionality.
If you want when any file is deleted by any method, you'll have to write a file system extension (I don't recommended doing it with VB.NET or C#!). A much easier method woiuld be to install a third party solution to do it. It's the difference between 2 minutes of work and 3 months that would probably tell you if it's worth it.
If you just want your applications data files to be shredded, then you'll have to put overwrite code in your app to shred the file before you delete it.

I heard somewhere that all you have to do to permanently delete a file, is overwrite the it several times with random data before deleting it. This way it distorts the original data so no one can recover it. Whether or not that actually works, I'm not sure (I've never tried it), but it's worth a shot.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

Is there a simple way to print a small form? I have a single form, like a calculator. I want to be able to click a button and print the form.
I have read many good articles on more complicated printing using .Net however I am hoping I can do this with just a couple lines of code.
Thanks

Drop this control[^] on your form and then (in design mode) set the MCL Print Form extended properties for each control on the form you want to print...

Tell your startup form to Close. If the application's message pump is shutdown, all the windows opened under it shutdown and close with it.

I am totally frustrated - I am trying to display questions from a question table (I don't know how many there will be) and then provide the users a place to type in thier responses. Then capture those responses in another table along with the question ID's.
I am new to VB.NET and so I am sure there is a simple way to do it, but it eludes me. I have tried the data grid which displays the questions nicely, but I do not know how to tie in the responses. My collegue suggested using the Repeater, but I cannot get my head around how that will help.
Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can do it with a datagrid. I would:
Add a new bound column change it to a template column. Set the label to be bound to the question id. Mark the label as hidden. (visible = 'false'
Next add a new bound column change it to a template column.
Edit the template and remove the label and put in something like a textbox.
Add a submit type button to the form. In the code behind do a for each row in data grid type foreach loop. On each row do a FindControl once for the label that has the question id, once for the textbox that has the answer. Save the data to your answer table.
The only thing I would worry about is paging. If you leave paging off and have 100 questions your web page gets pretty long. If you need to turn paging on things get a bit more complicated.
Hope that helps.

Here is the code used for a SaveAs dialog.
SFD.Filter = "Rich Text Files|*.rtf|Text Files|*.txt|WORD Files|*.doc|HTML Files|*.html|All Files|*.*"
How do I get just the extension that is chosen so that strExt reflects the choice made?
currentFile = SFD.FileName
strExt = SFD.Filter.ToUpper()
End If
Select Case strExt
Case ".RTF"

You just need to get the extension from the filename. You could parse it yourself or just use system.io.Path.GetExtension(currentFile).ToUpper.

Hi TF,
That's what I thought and what I had, but if you save a Document with the name
Testing.Text then no matter what is in the Filter Index of the dialog box the Document is saved as a Text File.
Where as you should be able to save it as Testing.Text.Extension from SaveAs Dialog.

Your right I checked it out. It seems if you have included an extension in the file name it won't append the selected extension. Typically when I save a document the extension will be appended unless I enclose the filename in quotes. I would expect that same behavior from the SaveFileDialog but I guess not. If there is a way to enforce that type of behavior I can't figure it out. However, there is a FilterIndex property. You could use that to figure out which extension was selected. You could just use the number it returns for your select case. Or you could split the filtered string and pick out the selected extension.
Dim exts As String() = SaveFileDialog1.Filter.Split("|")The above will create an array with the extensions in every odd index. To pick out the right one just use
exts(SaveFileDialog1.FilterIndex * 2 - 1) This will of course return the extension in your filter string which looks like *.txt so you'll have to take that into account.

Thanks TF
I knew it was interesting, there must be a way as you can do it in Word.
I will give what you have suggested a try and let you know how I get on.
