Hi, I am doing a project for my school and I have a scenario like this:
Say I am making a event planner website. This site itself do not sell anything but has to provide props, goodies for the event therefore it needs to link to a supplier website (which is created by myself too) and I am using their product data to put on my website.
I wish to do it using XML such as they can send me an agreed upon XML format.And my Event planner website will automatically accept the xml and use the data inside to be put on my website in my format.
Do you think it is feasible?
Then here is the problem which i hope somebody can answer me.
1.How do they send me an xml file which will be automatically processed by my system(no human intervention).How do my system know that someone is sending and prepare to accept it? Could you point to me whether is there any class to use?
2.If say the first time this supplier send me the xml file and my system happily accept it and show my website, then a few weeks later this supplier change the price of only one product. what are the ways to program the system to be able to make the system intelligent enough to just update the one products change. Is there any class again in the VB to create xml file?
Thanks a million

Yes, we have a system that does this, but it has been written in PHP.

With ftp. You would need to look into automating ftp transfers. Usually this is done separately from the website program.

This and more can best be accomplished by using a database (for example MySQL). It will allow you to design a system that will only update the necessary data. It is also the easiest way to transform the data from the xml file to content on a website.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

There are several different ways to do this:- FTP the files and write a Windows Service that watches that directory. Each time a new file is added the service processes the file.
- Use a web-based file upload component and process the file as part of the upload handler.
- Use a web-based file upload component and save the file to a directory. Using the same type of service described in the FTP option, process the files offline.
There isn't anything already written to do this type of work since it is specific to each project. You will need to write it yourself.

The best approach would be to use a database to store the information. When you process the XML file, store each product record in a database table; if the record already exists (same product id/code) then just update the field(s) that changed.

Yes, XmlDocument will allow you to create an XML file.

I would very much appreciate it if anyone could help me in creating a parameterized query in Visual Basic .Net 2005. In VB.Net 2003 it can be created with the "?" wildcard but when I tried the same method in VB.Net 2005 it's not working.

I need to add a menu item in the MDI form which will display the list of all the open child forms. In VB 6.0 when we create menu, there was a option of setting this option whether this menu is a Window list or not. Could anybody tell how can I set a Menu item to Window list so that in runtime it automatically populates itself with the list of open child windows. I am new in VB.Net 2005. Please Help.
Thanks in Advance.

Please send me vb.net code to check and uncheck nodes in treeview with multiple root nodes, subnodes
|
|

don't just ask for code
the right course of action is:
1 try to write it yourself
2 if 1 fails do a google search
3 if 2 fails ask here with you'r code from point 1 and specification where things go wrong
to help you on you'r way
loop thru the nodes in treeview
check the node
inside loop1 loop thru the nodes of that node
check the subnode
repeat loop2 for the subnodes
you will need to do this in a recursive methode
maybe this article could help (haven't looked at it for more than 1 min so can't be shure)

It is rude to demand people just send you code for solving a problem. Try solving it yourself, then when stumped, ask for help.

I want to put a Label or a Picture Box on a MDI Form, which can display some information or display a picture on the MDI form. If I put a label or picture box on the MDI form then, it gets displayed on the top of all child forms. How to display it on the background like the BackgroundImage property of the MDI form. Please Help...
Thanks in Advance.

You can't - that's what a MDI-form is for. In this case you can get around the issue by painting your own background image (with the image from the PictureBox / text from the Label) and displaying this.
Normaly if you want some information shown on the MDI - form you add a StatusBar or ToolBar

Thanks CKing, How can I put some information that frequently changes ?

Just use a StatusBar - most users are used  to this kind of visual information.

Hi everyone ,
I'm using vb.net 2003 (window application).
I have 2 textbox and want to add these 2 text into datagrid. But when i click "Add" Button for the 1st time, no problem. But after i click the 2 times, it replaced with the 1st row. But what i want is to add them into 2nd or subsequent rows depending on how many times i click 'Add' button.The 1st row remain.
Here i attach with my codes. I hope someone can hint me where is my mistake.
Thanks in advanced.
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd3.Click
Dim Table1 As DataTable
Table1 = New DataTable("LotNumber")
Dim Row As DataRow
Try
Dim HBarCode As DataColumn = New DataColumn("HBarCode")
HBarCode.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
Table1.Columns.Add(HBarCode)
Dim EMIBarCode As DataColumn = New DataColumn("EMIBarCode")
EMIBarCode.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
Table1.Columns.Add(EMIBarCode)
Row = Table1.NewRow()
Row.Item("HBarCode") = Me.txtHBarCode.Text
Row.Item("EMIBarCode") = Me.txtEMIBarCode.Text
Table1.Rows.Add(Row)
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds = New DataSet
ds.Tables.Add(Table1)
dgResult.SetDataBinding(ds, "LotNumber")
End Sub
thanks, eunice

Ok - the problem is that you allways create a new DataTable whenever you click add.
Put the section with the creation of the datatable / dataset to Form_Load or some other initialiser (you only want to call this once or when you need a clean DataTable) (Set the DataTable to be a private member of your class for access)
So you should get:
<br />
<br />
private myTable as DataTable = nothing<br />
<br />
public Sub InitGrid()<br />
<br />
myTable = New DataTable("LotNumber")<br />
Dim HBarCode As DataColumn = New DataColumn("HBarCode")<br />
HBarCode.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")<br />
myTable .Columns.Add(HBarCode)<br />
<br />
Dim EMIBarCode As DataColumn = New DataColumn("EMIBarCode")<br />
EMIBarCode.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")<br />
myTable .Columns.Add(EMIBarCode)<br />
<br />
Dim ds As New DataSet<br />
ds = New DataSet<br />
ds.Tables.Add(myTable)<br />
dgResult.SetDataBinding(ds, "LotNumber")<br />
<br />
end sub<br />
<br />
and
<br />
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd3.Click<br />
<br />
if myTable is nothing then InitGrid()<br />
<br />
Dim Row As DataRow<br />
<br />
Try<br />
<br />
Row = myTable.NewRow()<br />
Row.Item("HBarCode") = Me.txtHBarCode.Text<br />
Row.Item("EMIBarCode") = Me.txtEMIBarCode.Text<br />
myTable.Rows.Add(Row)<br />
<br />
Catch ex As Exception<br />
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)<br />
End Try<br />
<br />
dgResult.Update()<br />
End Sub <br />
<br />

This is a SQL statement that is witten in Access for parameter search with wildcard
...
WHERE (((SLUŽBA.Priimek) Like "*" & [Search text] & "*"));
why doesn't it work in a Visual Basic Querry? I write the same expression in Function field and it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

|

In SQL - sytax this becomse something like
WHERE (SLUŽBA.Priimek LIKE %[Search text]%)
(% <=> * and no &)

Well, hard to understand what you mean by a 'Visual Basic Querry', but if you're building a string, you need to deal with how to represnt quotes for a start.
