You can check the value of something being returned from the recordset with isnull(adors("someField")).

You need to requery the data through the data environment. However, I have found this to be a nightmare (and in general vb), thats why I'm online..trying to find a better approach(besides writing a C dll that does the job cos it would take a while).
Why is Visual Basic so pants?

How can specify a discontinuous range in the propery 'Values' in a chart serie.
I've tested with: serie.Values = "=E_1!R1C1:R3:C1;E_1!R5C1:R7:C1" but I obtain an error 1004.
Thanks.

hi friends,
i am facing problem in calling a crystel report from vb.net having on demand sub
reports.
My main report has 4 params and on demand sub report has 2 params. The code of passing
params is running perfectly without any sort of error but when i assing my reportdocument
object (report) to the crviewer object ( crViewer.ReportSource = rpt) is shows me
parameter input value box. The things work fine with report having no on demand sub report.
following is the code for parameter passing and calling the report
Dim crParameterFields As New ParameterFields()
Dim crParameterField As ParameterField
Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As ParameterDiscreteValue
crViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = Nothing (created at design time)
On Error GoTo eHandle
'rpt.DiscardSavedData()
crParameterDiscreteValue = Nothing
crParameterField = Nothing
crParameterDiscreteValue = New ParameterDiscreteValue()
crParameterField = New ParameterField()
crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = v_sCompanyName
crParameterField.ParameterFieldName = rpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields(0).Name()
crParameterField.CurrentValues.Add(crParameterDiscreteValue)
crParameterFields.Add(crParameterField)
crViewer.ReportSource = rpt ( shows paramters input box at this line)
i would be helpful if someone could help me out. I have searched on many sites but not much 
info is received.
thank you very much

Hi. I have been asked to develop my first telephony application. I think I want to do it with Visual C++ or Visual Basic.NET. The application: A program that will let the user dial in to his/her voice mail and access all of the features of the voice mail throught the computer. Does anyone know of existing libraries that might be helpful? Do we need a special modem? Does anyone know if it might be easier to implement in another language? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If by this description you mean that the user should be able to pick up his phone and use the computer program to dial VM and interact with it via the DTMF menus that the user would normally press then it is not too difficult. Depending upon the OSs that you need to support, take a look at Tapi (V2 or V3). V3 places a COM wrapper around Tapi making it a bit more VB friendly that V2 was. V2 was/is very difficult to use via VB because of it's extensive use of pointers, variable length structs (requiring much use of memcopy) and callback functions.
If by this description you mean that you want to make messages left in a users mailbox available via some GUI interface, then things can get much prettier or much uglier, depending on the VM system you are working with....
If the VM stores it's messages in a open store (DB or directory structure) and in some format that you can get a coder to play, then it might not be tooooo difficult. These types of systems are called 'Unified Messaging’ (UM), and generally are developed as part of the VM platform itself as a value-added feature (to get more money). You might not be able to get things too tightly coupled if this is your intent unless the VM maker has designed the system to be open and extensible (don’t know many that do).
If low cost UM is what you are after, you might just be better off writing your own from scratch. Trust me when I say this.. I help folks do things like this for a living. It MIGHT just be simpler to start over

Thanks for advice. I will have to look into the TAPI. I would prefer to work in VB or VB.NET. The application is really supposed to be a GUI that let the operator here voice mail and exercise the options in the voice mail. I do not think we are going to be supporting any sort of database. We are dialing the voice mailbox, sending the tones through the phone line, for example if the option is press 2 for "To Reply to this Message" the user could click a button for reply and the software would send the tone for two. I think we can get by with only supporting windows 2000 or XP.

THANKS! I have never seen that gotdotnet site before, I think I may start spending some time there. I think TAPI is definetly the way to go, (assuming I have a modem that supports TAPI). Does anyone know of any good books or websites that detail the TAPI functions?

Ok, I am halfway done for implementing my telephony application and I encountered a major problem. I am using a ZOOM USB Modem and was stunned to learn that it is half duplex. When I dial the phone, and the voice mail answers I can set tones and transmit voice, but I cannot hear what is going on at the other end. How do I switch from a send state to listening state?

In vb6 there was a drive list box & a dirlistbox showing familiar drive & folder structure in tree form, not so in vb.net
I need users to select a folder, then I will get all files in that folder to an array,

I was reading the latest MSDN article that talks about VB.NET performance issues and saw the following paragraph:
Object Collections and Object Arrays
When you have a set of related objects that you handle similarly, you can put them in an array of objects, or you can create a collection with the objects as members. The following considerations can help you choose between these schemes:
* An array of objects is faster if you always traverse it sequentially. For random access, an array can be slightly faster.
* Insertions and deletions in a collection are equally fast regardless of the position of the elements. Insertions and deletions in an array are only possible at the end of the array.
* If the number of objects in the set changes significantly over the lifetime of the set, it is much less complicated, and therefore faster, to use a collection.
I am bugged by the first bullet point here... Sounds very wrong to me...

 Evidently an array is faster either way.
I'm thinking the Collection will be faster for random access, but I wouldn't swear to that.

Correction:
Collections are usually implemented using linked lists. Both linked lists and arrays provide fast sequential access. But for random access, arrays are faster.

Hi,
I write a small class to access to database. This class is refered in two project which are in the same solution.
In Project2, I call a class in Project1 which contain a method that need in parameter my DBClass.
All was ok still this week. Now everytime I compile the solution, I get the following error :
error BC30311: Value of type 'InfoDB.DataAccess' cannot be converted to 'InfoDB.DataAccess'.
Where should be the matter ?
Thx for help.

Try first coping this file elsewhere (thru' windows explorer) then delete it from your project and add it.
Just give it a try.

I've already try this. I even deleted all file named as my DLL and it's still not working

Hi,
I'm having a problem for the first time: I open visual studio .net and the start page is shown, then, if I click any of the links that need an internet connection, I get this message: "This feature requires that you have connected to the internet previously or are currently online". Which is impossible, because I have a cable connection, so... I'm always online....
This problem start happening when I tried one of those "Speed Up Your Computer and Internet Connection" programs (you know, just to see how it works)... the name of the software is "Dr. Salman's Windows Power Tools 4.0".
I've been checking and unchecking for some days now, but I just can't get it to work right!
Thanks...

I have declared 'NetServerEnum' function in module as follows;
Public Declare Function NetServerEnum Lib "netapi32.dll" ( _
ByVal servername As String, _
ByVal level As Integer, _
ByRef buffer As Integer, _
ByRef prefmaxlen As Integer, _
ByVal entriesread As Integer, _
ByVal totalentries As Integer, _
ByVal servertype As Integer, _
ByVal domain As String, _
ByVal resumehandle As Integer) As Integer
when i call it, i get an error saying
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

The error message usually means that the declaration is wrong, i.e. passing arguments ByVal instead of ByRef.
The C++ declaration is:
NET_API_STATUS NetServerEnum(
LPCWSTR servername,
DWORD level,
LPBYTE* bufptr,
DWORD prefmaxlen,
LPDWORD entriesread,
LPDWORD totalentries,
DWORD servertype,
LPCWSTR domain,
LPDWORD resume_handle
);
In VB.NET, this translates to:
Public Declare Function NetServerEnum Lib "netapi32" ( _
ByVal ServerName As IntPtr, _
ByVal Level As Integer, _
ByRef Buffer As IntPtr, _
ByVal PrefMaxLen As Integer, _
ByRef EntriesRead As Integer, _
ByRef TotalEntries As Integer, _
ByVal ServerType As Integer, _
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)> _
ByVal Domain As String, _
ByVal ResumeHandle As IntPtr _
) As Integer
You then call it as:
...
Dim EntriesRead As Integer = 0
Dim TotalEntries As Integer = 0
Dim Buffer As IntPtr = IntPtr.Zero
Dim nRes As Integer = NetServerEnum( _
IntPtr.Zero, _
Level, _
Buffer, _
-1, _
EntriesRead, _
TotalEntries, _
ServerType, _
DomainName, _
IntPtr.Zero _
)
Try
'Do some stuff here
...
Finally
'Clean up buffer
If Not(Buffer.Equals(IntPtr.Zero)) Then
NetApiBufferFree(Buffer)
End If
End Try
