Your question is to vast. You should more specify what you need, because it is complicated to answer you for this kind of question.

thanks for your reply
ok so let me make my question more specific.
the core of the program is to watch a specific application for message boxes, dialog boxes, or error message boxes.
then get the text from the message box then put it in a log file
then preferably simulate a click event on the OK button of that message box
lets say that an application generates that a message box saying that a file is missing
id like to get that message then save it into a log file.
hope this will explain clearly

nope the watcher will get the message in the message box then save it to a log file
thanks for the links, will check later

Is there a way that vb .net can help deploying a SQL database. I want a way I can create an install disc and have the user run the install disc and have the sql database with mdf files install.
Does anyone know a way to do this? I know I can run the sql database installer from the setup, but how do I get the mdf files to automatically attach and be usable?
I can't think of anything cool and nerdy to say.

You could write some TSQL to automate the creation of a database, logi, user, tables, views, indexes, etc, and have you clients execute the script.
Commands to research:
CREATE DATABASE 'MYNEWDATABASE'
CREATE LOGIN
CREATE USER
sp_addrolemember 'db_owner','MYNEWDATABASE'
|

I wanted to avoid scripts. Is there a way to attach a database using vb .net code?

Hmm, I must have misunderstood you.  I thought you were looking for a solution to "deploy" a database. To me "deploying" a database at a client site means that they have a server waiting for you and a database needs to be created, schema created and populated, then your application can run.
If all you need to do is "attach", then why can't you just have your connection string stored in a configuration file and have it load at run time.
I must be missing something. "deploy" and "attach" have different meanings for us.
Maybe someone else can chime in a provide a soltion for you.

Can you help me with this? I can create database (mdf) now I need to attach it to the sql instance. How can I do that in vb .net?

Sorry, I've never worked with SQL Express, just SQL 2000, 2005 and Oracle.

SQL Express is SQL 2005 with some limitations on the number of connections

If you haven't already done so, download the SqlServer samples (theyr'e on CodePlex now not MS Download) here[^], select the *.zip file if you want to select where to put them, or the *.msi file if you want them installed to your SQLServer Directory.
There's a shedload of useful routines, mini applications and utilities in there.
The one you want isn't, from memory, but it is here on MSDN - Server.AttachDatabase Method[^]

I have some code and I need that to be converted into c++.net
Can anybody suggest me how to do that.?
Thanks.

By hand, basically. C++/CLI is a bastard stepchild of .NET and C++, so I doubt there's tools to do it, like there is for C# and VB. However, if you can build your VB into a dll and call it from C++/CLI, that would work fine.

or, for a small app, you might consider using Reflector to peek into the VB.NET class(es) and copy the MC++ equivalent code from there. This would loose local variable names and comments of course, but it does allow you to avoid a separate dll file.

I think there's also a plugin somewhere which allows you to do that with every file. I've used it before, but can't remember the name

I want to use Polish letters like ż, ł, ą, ę, ś, ć, and of course the capitals. VBA doesn't accept the normal "ALT GR +"-combination. Copy/Paste also doesn't work.
Please can somebody advice?
With kind regards,
Ton C.

Dear Shay Noy,
I downloaded and installed the Polish fonts, as you advised. But it doesn't work. When I use ALT+GR+ I get completely different characters. Maybe you have an other suggestion?
Thanks for your efforts anyway.
Greetings,
Ton C

I must be missing something.
I tested this in a small stand alone application and it works fine (sample project I downloaded)
Protected Sub PrintFile_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintFile.Click
printDialog1.Document = ThePrintDocument 'ThePrintDocument is dfined as System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
If printDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Me.ThePrintDocument.Print()
End If
End Sub 'PrintFile_Click
I have a sub routine that does the printing as follows:
Protected Sub ThePrintDocument_PrintPage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ev As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles ThePrintDocument.PrintPage
...
...
...
End Sub 'ThePrintDocument_PrintPage
In my small test app this works perfectly, print dialog shows up, select destination and it calls the print page routine. I then incorporated this into the application I am upgrading and I get the print dialog but when I click OK on the dialog it does not return to call the print event. Any idea what I may have missed?
I did notice that if I search the sample project for ThePrintDocument in the sample project I see definitions in a resx file, but I do not understand the resx file or how to use it.
I defined by simply entering the definition, should I have dragged something from the toolbox perhaps?

In your stand alone application, if you open the Form in the designer and can see a PrintDocument component in the Component Tray (at the bottom of the screen), then that was how it was done by the writer of that application.
Adding it manually, as you have done, should still work though. If it were me I would delete the manual declaration and use the component from the Printing tab of the toolbox, assuming that that's how the stand alone application did it. Also ensure that the properties are all set the same too.

Thanks, I deleted and added them from the toolbox, still a no go. It just does not seem to want to come back from the dialog box. Is there a way to chase down what may be happening after I close the box?
