use relative paths.

Try using Application.StartupPath.
This gets the folder where your application is currently running.

Good Luck! Smile | :)

But, he's not generating HTML, he's just storing HTML files. So, he needs to use relative paths and get it portable that way.

Hi all

I have 3 textbox in the form and i make the Property MaxLength to 3 and i want that when i enter 3 letter in first textbox the cursor move auto to the next and so on

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

capture the keypress event, and when the third key is pressed call the Focus() method of the next textbox.

To be clear, don't count keypresses, check the length of the string. And keyup may be a better one to use.

Use KeyPress event of first text box to check length text and if it is three move focus to second text box. Such as –

-------------------------------
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

If Me.TextBox1.Text.Length = 3 Then

e.Handled = True

Me.TextBox2.Focus()

End If

End Sub

Thanks for repeating my answer, only what you've posted, requires pushing a fourth key, which never appears in either textbox, in order to move focus.

If you replace Textbox1 with sender then you can handle both TextBox1 and TextBox2 with the same method

Except you would be better to write a class to handle this, so you can easily set what textbox2 is, for each textbox.

Ok I'll bite - why.
Having a single method to service the multiple textboxes seems the most efficient (assuming you do not want to reuse it outside this form)

Ah, I had to read that 5 times to get it - set the destination/next textbox. I would have thought either hard code the target or use the form tab order to identify the next control.

Oh sh;t now I remebered why I hate these things, I just envisaged a complete UI class to handle all the silly operations that can crop up shudder.

Yeah, I guess it depends on if you expect to reuse it across several forms, etc. If you had three textboxes and that was it, you could just have a switch statement or use the tag on the textbox to identify the next one or something.

hi

i want to ask if i have one connection to accesses database how con i writ it ons and use it in all forms do i have to write it in model and call it form lode

also i have some function and i want to use it in more than one form do i write it in model and the type is public

thanks Sniff | :^)

If I understand your questions correctly, here are the answers.

If you need to access a database from multiple forms, put all of the database code in a module and call the functions or subroutines from there.

The same answer applies to the functions: put them in a module.

Also, think about reusing the code in other projects. Don't hard-code connection settings, etc, pass them into the functions.

Tim

thanks that what i mean Laugh | :laugh:

but i want to ask do i have to but it in form_lode sub and it will be visible to all functions and sub in the form

Add a seperate module to the application and make the functions/subroutines public. They will then be visible to the entire application.

The database access does not have to be done in the form load; it can be done wherever your application needs it.

What you are asking about (use better title) is a data access layer and it is a basic class/library every developer requires. Try some google research

I think the reason people marked this question as bad is because of the bad subject. asking... doesn't really tell us anything.

Hi i wrote a function in MATLAB and made a DotNet dll using deploy tool of MATLAB. I imported this dll in my DotNet application and it works but my question is: is this necessary to have MATLAB installed on the pc or not. i want to publish my application but some one told me that this needs MATLAB on the pc!

A.E.K

I would expect so. I know what Matlab is, vaguely, but I don't know of anyone who uses it, bar students. I would say you need to test it, to be sure.

Probably, but you're going to have to test it to be sure. Otherwise, your best source of information is going to be a forum that deals specifically with MATLAB. CP is not that place.
