Hi to all,

I have create a little client to test a webservice called EuroCv.eu
The problem is the connection and the time of the connection to the server. I need to create a simple progressbar to show the progress of the request to the server.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Hello!

I would like to know how can I check the following listed below in runtime: I need these before user runs the application.

a. If a keyboard exists in puter
b. If a mouse exists in puter
c. What is the current screen resolution
d. What is the total available memory
3. Operating System (addressing numeric values)

Thank you. Unsure | :~

Typed dataset not generating update and delete statements

Hello,

VS 2005.

I have created a typed dataset. I have dragged some tables from the server explorer on to the designer.

However, one of my tables it doesn't auto generate the update and delete statements. I have tried configuring the table adapter. I have clicked the advanced options and checked all 3 options. And on methods to generate I have checked all 3 options again. I click next and it will tell you what statement it will generate, but the delete and update are not included.

Also, when I use this in code for finding by the primary key, it doesn't have a method for it.
i.e

<br />
datarow = me.dataset.software.findBySerialID(serialID)<br />

The method FindBySerialID doesn't exist.

Does anyone know why this is happening.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I am posting the same problem 2nd time. Sorry for that but the strange thing is happening in the function. It suppose to display a message but it is giving me "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error message. It loads the file there in no problem. Either keys and values exist in the file also. The message boxes display nothing. What is causing the problem? Thank you. Cry | :((

Here is my code:

The file is under application.startuppath /bin/debug directory


Private Function GetCnfgParameter(ByVal MyKey As String) As String

   Dim DocXml As New XmlDocument
   Dim NodeXml As XmlNode = Nothing

   DocXml.Load(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "app.xml"))
   NodeXml = DocXml.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//configuration/AppDefaultValues/add[@key=""" & MyKey & """]")
        If TypeName(NodeXml.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value")) <> "Nothing" Then
            NodeXml = NodeXml.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value")
            MsgBox(NodeXml.Value)
        Else
            'No @ mykey attribute in attributes collection
            MsgBox("Could not find the @mykey attribute as in a <add mykey=''> element.")
        End If

        Return NodeXml.Attributes.GetNamedItem("value").Value

        NodeXml = Nothing

    End Function

This line is prone to "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error. You will have to check whether NodeXml is nothing before using it further.

TypeName

What is this used for ? and what does it returns ?

JUNEYT wrote:
<> "Nothing"

If you are trying to compare returned value for nothing / null then you will have to write -

not ({expression} is nothing)

not ({expression} = nothing)

Use the 'is' keyword if the return of the {expression} is a reference type else use '='

In my opinion instead of making a table, populate a dataset with your query as because you can easily loop through your dataset to do your operation....

I think you cannot do it in single SQL query.....
populate a dataset with following query..

SELECT Customer.CustID, CustName, OrderID<br />
FROM Customer INNER JOIN Orders ON Customer.CustID=Orders.CustID

then loop through your dataset to make customized dataset or datatable which you want ....where you can concatenate the OrderID fields....

did u get me???

Hi there,

I have been given the task of writing a Windows Forms Application that uses a web cam to take photos for ID cards. I am fine with everything except for interfacing with the camera. Has anyone got any links or ideas on how I can achieve this please? I have had a look about the web but I can not seem to find any information on this.

Thank you for your time,

You might want to search for an SDK from the manufacturer of the camera. If you they don't offer one, you can Google for "Windows Image Acquisition" or "WIA VB.NET" for examples.

21-Mar-07 0:41

Hi,
My string contains a number followed by hiphen and then followed by text say
string1 = "1239980 - Microsoft" . Here, "-" is used as a delimiter.

How do i only retrive number from a string.This is my following code.

Dim a As String
Dim b As String
a = "1239980 - Microsoft"
b = a.Substring(0, Len(InStr(a, "-")) - 2)

The value of InStr(a, "-") is 9 which indicates the index of position of "-". Now i want to extract first 7 characters i.e the number part... What i will do??? Please help me...

Thanks and regards,
Shyam
