Like we have all been telling you: forget .INI files, they are outdated and not supported. Use something that fits with the language and framework as it is now. As Eddy has suggested XML is a much better choice and there is full support for it in the language and framework: vb.net XMLreader - Google Search[^].

<MEMO>Memorando test text!</MEMO>
</15/12/2016>

The fact is that i am not understanding how to create multiple nodes with different data!
i am trying to make a small agenda..and i would like that when i choose a date from the MonthCalendar i auto shows in a textbox the memos for that day!
Thanks

You create node called "15/12/2016" which is most likely the problem.
You really need to stop writing random code, and spend much more time studying the protocol and classes used to manage XML. You cannot learn programming just by posting questions here.

Like i said..i would have to ask you a lot of things about XML ... i am not a coder... i just like to exercise my mind..so once i a while i code some gadgets..simple things...normally i spend a lot of time searching in google for pieces of code that i can use in my small projects..trying to understand them and retreive what i need..i never had coding lessons either...
my last gadget was this: gadgets[^]
It is simple but i believe it is cool... i also do visual coding of VSTi, and i am also not an audio engeneer... i try to keep my mind busy with these simple apps and audio software!
Well, i guess i have to search better if i want to do the app... i know is not hard and it probably would not be a lot of code lines.. but ok...i will try to figure it out : )
edit: i also manage beatassist.eu and i am also a Dj / Producer ; )

Add an event handler to the button and read the values from the theme and save them somewhere. Is this supposed to be in permanent storage or just while the application is running?

I add some items into the database in other to load in a combobox then trying to add items to the second combobox in other to act as a sub to the first combobox.. i found out that i would need to select an item from the first combobox before i can add items to the second combobox.. for instance i have "state" as my first combobox and in each state, there are local governments and i would have to select a particular state in other to enter the corresponding Local governments. as a result of this, i will be having more than one entry on my state column and when i try to use it from the user's end, when i select state, it will contain more than one entry for each state... is there a way i can reduce redundancy in the combobox.. please i need help with this

Hi,
I have a question regarding a datagridview and an access database.
With my current application I can select a database, make a connection all the tables are shown into a combobox. With this combobox I can select a table and the columns of this table are listed in a listbox1. From listbox1 I can select 1 or more columns and put them in listbox2.
The columns listed in listbox2 i want to add to the datagridview.
The reason for this, is that i want to make a selection which columns I want to use.
The database could be any database, so the whole thing is rather dynamic, therefor I cannot not use fixed values.
If somebody can help out on this one I would be very thankfull.
kind regards.
Heng

Hi,
Well the problem is that with the code i used, I see the records, but the data is not in line.
For example:
I have 2 columns ID and Test. Both columns have e.g. 2 records (or rows)
Normal you would expect to see two columns and two rows.
I my case i see 2 columns and 4 rows, the first two rows of columns 2 are empty.
I know this has something to with the way i have program it, but I don't know the correct way.
Herewith my code:
Private Sub btnShowData_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnShowData.Click
Dim selectFile As String = txtSelectFile.Text
Dim selectTable As String = cmbSelectTable.Text
con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & selectFile
Try
con.Open()
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter
For Each Item As Object In lbxSelectItems.Items
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select " & Item & " from " & selectTable, con)
da.Fill(dt)
Next
DGVselectedTable.DataSource = dt.DefaultView
con.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Error: " & ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
I hope it is clear, basically I was hoping for a good example or code.
thanks
kind regards,
heng

Because you are selecting items from each column one at a time instead of all together. You should first build your SELECT statement with the column names from all the selected items in the listbox. You can then make one database call which will read all the items from the selected records. Something like:
Dim cols as StringBuilder
For Each Item As Object In lbxSelectItems.Items
cols.Append(Item.ToString + ", ")
Next
Dim rep = cols.Length
cols.Remove(rep-2, 2)
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select " & cols.ToString & " from " & selectTable, con)
da.Fill(dt)
I apologise for any syntax errors in the above; I am not a VB expert.

As far as i have tested it now it works.
I have used the same code, no errors.
You mentioned that your not an expert, but much better than i am.

I'm trying to work with 3 progress bars where one fill another. Is associated to treenodes in treeview.

Instead of saying "I can't make to work correctly" can you be more precise with what is happening?
|
|
|
|

I have a menu with categories and subcategories structured as follows:
N1
|___ N2
|___ N3
|___ N4
The routine walks each item in N1 and checks for subitems(N2). If there is, go through each item N2 and check for subitems(N3). If there is, go through each item N3 and check for sub items(N4).
I am trying to implement an function like when unpacking a file, where there is a progressbar that shows the total progress (main) and another progressbar that shows the progress of each file being extracted. When each file is extracted and your progressbar reaches 100%, fills X% of the main progressbar.
N4 fills the N3 PBar -> N3 fills the N2 Pbar and N2 fills the N1(main) Pbar.
For Each N2 As TreeNode In N1.Nodes
For Each N3 As TreeNode In N2.Nodes
For Each N4 As TreeNode In N3.Nodes
Picture example
I am having difficulty defining the logic with which these Pbar work together.
Was I clear?
Thankyou for your reply.
