HRESULT returned by any Microsoft API call is an Integer in VB.NET.

Actually, it might be an IntPtr DataType...
|

You can use either. Most of the time, I use IntPtr myself, but if your going to do any kind of calculation with the return code, for whatever reason - it depends on the call, you can't use IntPtr.

I do agree that you need to code the API Call as neccessary and I only use IntPtr when it's neccessary. However, I would disagree, you can easily get the Interger Value from an IntPtr.
Dim h As IntPtr = IntPtr.Zero
Debug.WriteLine(h.ToInt32)
Dim h2 As New IntPtr(h.ToInt32)

That's true. I just avoid the conversion code for simplicity. I can be a bit lazy at times...

You've asked the most generic question I've seen in months. What do you want to do? SO far, all you've said is "Help!". With what? You've given no specifications of what your app is supposed to do, code your stuck with, no design attempts, ..., nothing that would help us help you.
I guess you can start with Beginning ASP.NET using vb.net[^] here on CP. Then maybe buy the book for the rest.

I’m trying to download and upload data to a Microsoft access database. But cant even get my head round starting to figure it out.
Any help or nudge in the right direction would be excellent and would make me very grateful.

I guess you can start with How to link to an Access Database in a C# Application[^] here on CP. The code is, obviously, in C#, but is easily convertable to VB.NET either by-hand, or using various translators on the 'Net.

Each time I try to create an ASP.NET Web Application I get the "Web Access Failed" dialog box...IIS is installed and running correctly, however I keep getting the following error message:
The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder at 'http://localhost/WebApplication1' cannot be opened with the path 'c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1'.
Can anybody explain why i keep getting this? IIS is running correctly and so are the rest of my Visual Studio .NET applications...I only get this when I try to create Web Applications...
Thanks

Run the exe aspnet_regiis with -i switch.
aspnet_regiis will available in the path
C:\Winnt\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\
if you installed your os in the C drive.

On my datagrid I want to display only one record at a time instead of
four at a time.How do I navigate the grid to make the changes?I only want
one per page.
Thank You for Your Help.
Matt

You can use paging just set the page size to 1. Then add a pageIndexChanged event to the datagrid to handle the backwards/forward navigation.

There is one big problem it is a datalist.

I tried egghead.
Not much help.
I am trying to bind the records from the table to a datalist control in C#
private DataSet BindTBCOMMANDTYPE()
{
OdbcConnection myConnection = new OdbcConnection("DSN=POS;UID=system;PWD=system");
// Populate the ddlDataSet1
myConnection.Open();
const string strSQLDDL = @"SELECT DT_REF, DT_DESCRIPTION FROM TBCOMMANDTYPE ORDER BY DT_REF";
OdbcDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new OdbcDataAdapter(strSQLDDL, myConnection);
ddlDataSet1.Clear();
myDataAdapter.Fill(ddlDataSet1, "ddlDATATYPE");
DataSet1.DataSource = ddlDataSet1;
DataSet1.DataBind();
myDataAdapter.Dispose();
myDataAdapter = null;
myConnection.Close();
return ddlDataSet1;
}
Just need the correct syntax.

I am experimenting with MSAgent. (Text to speech)
What I am trying to accomplish is to let the program run until the Esc key is pressed.
The code below works fine in the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE.
However, if you minimize the IDE or compile, the program still runs but pressing the Esc key does nothing.
It's like the program has lost focus.
It works fine in the IDE with no interuption.
Can someone help with this?
Here is the code:
Option Explicit
Public MyAgent As Object
_________________________________
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(keyascii As Integer)
'KeyPreview on the Forms properties window is set to True.
'Press the Esc key to exit.
If keyascii = 27 Then
Unload Me
End
End If
End Sub
__________________________________
Public Sub Delay(Seconds As Long)
Dim n As Double
n = Timer + Seconds
Do While Timer < n
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub
__________________________________
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Ap As String
'Set Application Path
Ap = App.Path
If Right(Ap, 1) <> "\" Then Ap = Ap + "\"
'Load the character
Agent1.Characters.Load "merlin", Ap + "merlin.acs"
Set MyAgent = Agent1.Characters("merlin")
'something wrong here
Dim keyascii As Integer
Do Until keyascii = 27
If keyascii = 27 Then End
MyAgent.Show
MyAgent.MoveTo 250, 325
Delay 2
MyAgent.MoveTo 400, 325
Delay 2
Loop
End Sub

If you applications Form loses the focus AT ALL, pressing ESC won't do anything because the keypress went to some other app. It's not so much a problem of minimizing the IDE as it's a question of which window got the focus after you minimized the IDE.
Make sure you click in the Window of your application before you hit ESC. Otherwise, your application will never see the ESC key being pressed.

Thanks for looking Dave.
My problem is that I have no form to click on because of its transparency.
I need to make sure the form doesn't lose focus, but not sure how.
Any ideas?
|

It sounds like what you need to do is hook the keyboard instead of depending on KeyDown. If your form is transparent, it suggests that your still using other applications and giving your app things to say from other app. You're application can keep the focus, but in a multitasking operating system, that makes your app quite a p-i-t-a to use.
Check into Application.AddMessageFilter for the .NET way of hooking the keyboard. You can then see all the keyboard messages generated by the keyboard driver, look for your ESC key SYSTEM WIDE, not just the app with the focus.
I'm out of time for today, so I can't get into specifics right now, but I'll be able to do so next week.

Thanks for the info Dave.
Is there a snippet available for download some place in regards to
Application.AddMessageFilter?
