You're solution was very close, actually you cant set the New value in the same line but what I was doing differently was that in the other code I was declaring my class object within the WithEvents line and in the new one I was declaring the class and then another class for the event. OOPS!

Hi,
If you don't want to instantiate a new object in the declaration line you could do the following:
'-- somewhere in the code
_ObjectName = New Class2
AddHandler _ObjectName.StatusChanged, AddressOf SubRoutineName
hope this helps

clear what you want to do... another thing, next time make your subject relevant to what you would ask.

You reposted the same question and got an answer. Why don't you continue this is your first thread and ask Christian what he meant?

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a simpler way, but if you are talking about few rows you could use DataView and its sort property to solve your issue:
- Create a DataView based on a table that has an order column (int)
- Set the Sort property to the order column
- Add two buttons up/down
- When you select a row and click up or down you can change the value of the order column in the rows.
This could work if you are managing a transactions list in an accounting system or any system that deal with few rows, in addition the order column could be added on the fly and not part of the database.
hope this helps

Hi,
What do you have in your app.config file!? What's the type of application that you are working on?

Hi am quite new to programing and would like to know if you can creat a stand alone Data base using tables without the use of SQL and without attaching the front end to an Access table.
Is this possible?
If so has any one got an idea of where to look for some code that i could look at please.
Thank you

You can use a database that doesn't use SQL. Although I'm not sure what you'd achieve by that. Why do you not want to use SQL? (It is the standard language for writing queries)

Hi there thanks for your reply.
Sorry i was refuring to SQL server. However, my ignorance is apparent, as I do not understand how i would call or instruct an application to use SQL. Also is it a component of visual studio?
Thank you for your time.

Theres nothing built in that will act as a database for you. You could make something similar using an XML file or some other file based storage, but if your new to programming that might not be the best place to start
The other alternative is using an external database. Do you want something that is small and file based (best suited for when just one app wants a database) or something bigger and memory based (that can handle alot of connections over a network)?
When you say wihtout the use of SQL do you mean the SQL language or Microsoft Sql Server?
If you don't want to use Access then don't :P theres plenty of other solutions out there,
If you want a memory based solution I'd recommend Microsoft Sql Server 2005 Express[^] sinces it's got the great price of free  It's a solid product with alot of features.
If you want something file based I'd recommend SqLite[^]. It's small, fast and free but it'll take some effort to setup for use.

Thank you for your reply.
The program i am trying to creat is an update of an app that uses RAF files to store and access the data. However this has proven to be slow and resource heavy. I would like to be able to rewrite the app using a data table to see the speed difference and hopfully improve the programs response time. The problem was that i ended up creating four RAF files that where all being cross refrenced.
I was hopeing to creat a app that can use relationships.....however i failed miserably  lol
Thanks once again for your reply and i will look into it a bit further.

Hi,
You can build a dataset/tables on the fly and saving it as XML.
'--Create DataSet (Database)
Dim DS as new dataset
ds.Tables.Add("Table1")
ds.Tables(0).Columns.Add("ID", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32"))
ds.Tables(0).Columns.Add("Col1", System.Type.GetType("System.String"))
'-- Add Data
Dim dr As DataRow
dr = ds.Tables(0).NewRow
dr.Item("ID") = 1
dr.Item("Col1") = "BMW"
ds.Tables(0).Rows.Add(dr)
'-- Check the added data
For Each tmpdr As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows
MsgBox(tmpdr.Item(1))
Next
'-- save data
ds.WriteXml("c:\mydata.xml")
Hope this helps

Hi there thank you very much that is exactly what i needed.

hello,
the questions in the title.
how would I do this. The reason is I am using a panel which has a gradient color scheme and I want to drop the property grid on the panel. But I dont want to ruin the gradient effect.
Any Ideas??
thanks
Martin

You can't do this without making your own PropertyGrid control and ownerdrawing the whole grid. The BackColor property of the PropertyGrid doesn't support Transparent.

thanks for that dave,
speaking as a person who has never ever used VB's drawing commands
and as someone who had a play at the weekend and got nowhere -
how would I do that?
any tips, ideas, code???
thanks
Martin

You start with creating your own PropertyGrid class, inheriting from the existing class.
Public Class MyPropertyGrid
Inherits PropertyGrid
.
.
.
Then you override the OnPaint and/or OnPaintBackground methods and supply your own drawing code to draw everything you need.
If you haven't used the drawing methods, or even have a basic understanding of how painting works, you're going to find this a frustrating process. Google for "vb.net drawing" for lots of examples and articles.

hi,
I have tried
Public Class myProp
Inherits PropertyGrid
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaintBackground(ByVal pevent As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaintBackground(pevent)
Dim g As Graphics = pevent.Graphics
Dim gradBrush As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush
gradBrush = New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New Point(0, 0), New Point(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.Green, Color.Blue)
' g.FillRectangle(gradBrush, 0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
g.FillRectangle(gradBrush, pevent.ClipRectangle)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal pevent As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint(pevent)
Dim g As Graphics = pevent.Graphics
Dim gradBrush As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush
gradBrush = New System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New Point(0, 0), New Point(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.Green, Color.Blue)
' g.FillRectangle(gradBrush, 0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
g.FillRectangle(gradBrush, pevent.ClipRectangle)
End Sub
but these dont seem to cover the area where the "view back color" paints. In actual fact they seem to paint on only one or two lines between the text time and the outer rim of the cocontroller area.
thanks
Martin

First, you don't create your own Graphics object. You'll find it in the PaintEventArgs that you're getting when your code is called.
Dim g As Graphics = pevent.Graphics
Your next mistake is that if you want to REPLACE the background functionality, you don't call the base classes OnPaintBackground method. That will paint the background of the control just like you didn't even attempt to make your own version of it.
Third, the Graphics objects to DID create, you didn't Dispose of. This will, most assuredly, run your machine out of resources and your app will eventully crash with an OutOfMemoryException. On top of that, if you didn't create the object, like Graphics, you do NOT Dispose of it.
