Is this a VB6 or a VB.NET application?

By setting the Timer Interval to 0, just've told the Timer to fire it's event nearly continuously. You haven't disabled it. You need to set the Timer's Enabled property to False to turn it off. This is probably what's keeping your form open.

Also, the only event you can't reliably use Unload in is the Form_Load event. Anywhere else is fine.

Hi,

i try to insert values to a Access DB from VisualBasic .All the fields are TEXT datatype.For null values i assign vbNullChar(also i tried with vbNull).

Insert statement is:
con.Execute "Insert INTO " & TableName & " (" & tempFields & ") VALUES (" & tempInputs & ")", 1, 1

tempFields & tempInputs are arrays.

But some how the insert fails with the error:
Error :

Desc: "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement."
Number : -2147217900
source : "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers"

Pls help
Ram

insert does not work with arrays.
create a command object
OR :
specify each field by its own like :

Insert INTO TableName (Filed1,Filed2,Filed3)<br />
values (val1,val2,val3)

and ignore nullable fields.

The best way to go about that is to create a command object with your SQL statement, but use parameters in the appropriate places.

Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO MyTable (Field1, Field2, Field3) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"
Dim comm As New OleDbCommand(sqlString)

comm.Parameters.Add("@Field1Value", OleDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = somevalue
comm.Parameters.Add("@Field2Value", OleDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = somevalue
comm.Parameters.Add("@Field3Value", OleDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = OleDbType.Empty

I have some problems accessing a form when using a public sub in a module as startup object.

Module:

Friend frmMain as Friend
dim frm as new form1
frm.show
call Fill()
public sub Main

public sub Fill
frmmain.text = "ok"
end sub

In the form:

form1_load

frmmain = me

I am doing something/somethings wrong. I want to be able to reach this form after creating it like altering the caption in sub Fill. Any ideas how I do this?

thanks / Henrik

end sub

Well, the code you posted won't even compile. Try copying and pasting next time. The code frmMain = me doesn't do anything constructive at all. I don't know what you trying to do here.

First, when your Sub Main reaches the end, your app is going to quit. You have to give the form control to keep it's message pump running so your app won't quit. I assume you doing something in the Sub Main before displaying the form. This should take care of your problem.

Module Module1
    Public Sub Main()
        Dim myForm As New Form1
        Fill(myForm)
        Application.Run(myForm)
        myForm.Dispose()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Fill(ByRef form As Form)
        form.Text = "My Caption Text..."
    End Sub
End Module

But, if this is all you wanted to do, then you would create a normal Windows Forms application and put this in the Form Load Event:

Me.Text ="My Caption Text..."

or change the appropriate properties in the Property Page in the Forms Designer.

thanks, but what if I want to open a form from the mainform and then set myform.text. How can I do that the best and most efficient way? Should I use "Friend" and if so, how do I use that?

Dim nextForm As Form2
nextForm.Text = "Set some text here..."
nextForm.Show()

You really should take a look at this[^] article on MSDN.

DataRelation

I have an Access table that has a parent table named TBLBooks and several tables that relating to it.

What im trying to do:
I am trying to display the TBLbooks information on a set of textboxes and display the authors on a datagrid.

What I have accomplished:
I successfully displayed the information on the textboxes and added buttons to move around the Book records. (Using BindingMAnagerBase).
I also already added a relationship into the dataset (using BookID which is present in both tables TBLbooks,TBLauthors)

I was able to display the authors on the grid but it wouldn't move with the TBLbooks (textboxes).

THE PROBLEM:
I need to show the AUthors information on my grid and is should move or change with my textboxes. I can't use Rowfilter to filter the Authors information. I really need to make the relation work. Eek! | :eek:

Is there any piece of code that you have that does just this?
*parent-child data relation with datagrid*
or ofcourse you could tell me how to do it. Laugh | :laugh:

Any one have time to help with school project? I am trying to create a random graph generator with a given proboility 0 < p < 1, probability that the edge exsist between to nodes in a graph (undirected and not weighted), using an adjacency matrix. I must then time the execution of DFS and BFS to see which perform best and show stats to prove it. I am having trouble with timing the algorithms and random generators for the graph....any ideas?

Thanks

Either u change the select statement with the required fields to be displayed in the grid
-or-
after assigning the recordset to datagrid's datasource property, make the unrequired columns width to zero.

Your question is vauge to say the least. Which is it? The chart program or winsock?

You chart question really depends on the graph your trying to make and what you want to support as far as options. Titles, axis labels, data ranges, auto scaling, log charts, line graphs, bar graphs, X/Y charts, Radar charts, ... There is no one algorithm that will encompass all of this. You really have to be more specific in what you want and do a bit of research and think about your design and what it will require before you start writing code.

That's a little vague. Where do you need direction? Are you already competent with Sockets, but need direction on audio and video streaming algorithms? Or do you already know about audio and video streaming algorithms, but need assistance with Sockets?
