Christian Graus wrote: You define a method when you write it. Why would you define something abstract about what it's properties are, when you are about to define them concretely ?
In VB.net, it is very common and useful to be able to have classes which can operate on objects without knowing exactly what they are. For example, the Array class includes a Sort function which can operate on arrays of any type of data, provided only that they implement the iComparable interface. The code for Array.Sort doesn't care what it's sorting--all it cares about is the fact that the things it's sorting know how they compare with each other.
Suppose I want a container control that includes a function to auto-arrange its contents in sorted order (assume all child controls can be compared with each other and sort nicely). The control doesn't care what the child controls are, beyond the fact that (1) they must implement the iComparable interface, and (2) they inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Control, and thus possess the position and size properties necessary to arrange them.
Most existing controls would lack an iComparable interface, but any inheritable control could be made to support it. On the other hand, I don't know how to very well specify that the contents of the container must be controls that implement the iComparable interface.
I suppose it might be possible to define an interface called iComparableControl, which inherits iComparable and includes a method myCtl which returns an object of type Control (the idea would be that a control would return itself) but that would seem rather goofy. It would be much nicer to simply specify that the container held objects which were inherited from type Control and which implemented the iComparable interface.

So you want Sub Test(ctl As {Control, IComparable})?
There's no way to define a method like that.
In some cases, you might be able to use a generic method
Sub Test(Of T As {Control, IComparable})(ctl As T)
but unfortunately, that isn't always possible - e.g. you cannot have a List(Of {Control, IComparable}), as using generics for that would always limit you to a specific T.

I don't think I'd ever noticed a method coded like that--only classes and interfaces (and I never really understood how the latter worked). I'll have to think about whether that's sufficient, or whether it will be better to define an interface which returns a control (which in most cases should just be an item returning itself). I can see advantages both ways.

I have been looking for a program that will dial an office extension and then play a MP3 or WAV file (prefer MP3) and then hangup on a specified time interval. I have yet to find this so I have been looking into possibly creating one myself. I have limited VB 2008 Express experience, but i have looked over a couple of the TAPI examples but they do not cover the timing or the MP3/WAV playing. The following are the components of the program. I do not know how to do the timer or the TAPI programing to play the file over the phone, so any help would be appriciated. Thanks.
TextboxExt = Extension #
TextboxTime = minutes between dial/play
TextboxMP3 = MP3/WAV location
CmdButtonPlay = Manually dial/play, stop timer
CmdButtonStart = Start timer for playing, repeat until stopped
CmdButtonStop = Stop timer
LabelTimer = When timer is started, count down time until next dial/play (min/sec)

Check Active Solution Configuration from 'Configuration Manager' which is under Build Menu of IDE. Set it to Debug mode. if Configuration Manager is not displayed under Build menu, then Perform the following action
Go to Tools-->Options-->Projects and Solutions--->General
now from the Right hand panel Check the option 'Show Advanced build Configurations'
hope this helps

Explore your problem bit more.
whether you use CrystalReportViewer or DataReportViewer or any other?
I think the Paper size, you define at design time is Bigger than the Paper you can insert into printer.
other possibilities is that Field size is smaller than the contents so it can not display the all the contents.

Did you forget to reinitialise your data pointer type variables in the BeginPrint event so when you did print previerew followed by print the data was off the end?
The beginners guide to printing in .NET[^] may be of use/interest to you.

It sounds like you are rebinding the dropdown list on postback. That would remove everything in it that came from the postback, including the selection, and the first item gets selected by default.
Use the IsPostback property to determine if the page is loading for the first time or not, and only bind the dropdownlist on the first load.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

I am trying to generate simple Crystal Report. To do so I have configured datas set and i have set this data set as reports's data source.
If I check the table name of data set then It gives that right. But on the next line where I have set this dataset as report's data source it gives Error "Report has No tables"
Code is as follow:
Dim i As New CrystalReport1
Dim ds As New System.Data.DataSet
Dim ObAdp As New SetDatasetClass' here dataset get configured
ds = ObAdp.getDataset("Select * from Employee" )
MsgBox(ds.Tables(0).TableName)' Shows table name as Employee
i.SetDataSource(ds.Tables(0))
Is the method is right?

I think you are not set any table to CrystalReport1 at design time. If Yes then,Let me explain how can you set the table for report
1 Open Report CrystalReport1 in IDE.
2.From the Field Explorer window,Right click on Database Fields and Select Database Expert option (Or you can also Select the 'Database Expert' option from Menu CrystalReports-->Database)
3.A new window is open(Database Expert) from which you can select the Table(Employee) for you Report and click on OK button.
4. Now in Field Explorer window, A + sign is appear in Front of 'Database Fields' Option. Expand this sign
5. After expanding, Employee table is appear which you select in Database Expert window.
6. Place fields of Employee table in Appropriate section of Crystal Report
7.Now run you application
Hope this helps

What is the problem when you create XML file ?
simply Split the Querystring(on the basis of '&' ) and fetch the field and add it to xml file with or without value.
if you don't know how can create XML file with vb.net then try Googling[^]
hope this helps
