Hello,
I'm building a little VB.NET application who will connect to an Access DB to fill its fields.
I would like to know two things to build my architecture in the right path.
1- Is it a good idea to store the databse location in a registry key (Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser)? If not, where should I store it?
2- To access tables in the database, I plan to create, lets say, an SQLAgent class (a layer) between my application and the DB to do any transactions (SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, ...). This SQLAgent could run any SQL qwery passed in parameter.
The constructor of this SQLAgent class would receive the DB location string to open the DB. Then this SQLAgent object, once created, would receive the SQL qwery to run and return the current recordset.
When this transaction is done, this SQLAgent object can be deleted (finalized). And the VB form can fill its fields with the content of the recordset.
So every forms would have control over its own SQL string and call SQLAgent whenever it need it.
My point is, am I right with #1 and #2?
Thank you very much, I am used with OO but it is the first time I plan to access to DB and I want to do it the right way. Because this is a personal project but I want my code to be reusable, so best practice is the best.

Hi Xelk:
VB.NET facilitates .EXE.COnfig. Is'nt it? You can have the connectionstrings with ScringScrambling or some small-scale reversible encryption and store it there.
What do you say?

Very good idea Deepak,
Is this file editable when the package is compiled then deployed?
What do you think of my point #2?
Thank you
Xelk

Hi Xelk:
The .EXE.Config file is a kind of plain XML file. You can read it via ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["keyname"] in your application.
Whatever is there in the Config File for the particular keyname after modifying it, post package and deployment also, would be taken.
Did this attend to your query?

I am working on a project in my company and as I mentioned in the subject of this question, being new to OOPS and new to vb.net, should I consider to adopt or use design pattern in this project ? Or am I better off in terms of meeting deadline to just go-ahead with programming in vb.net (will be using most of OOPS concepts) ?

It all depends on what your comfortable with, what level your skills are at, of course the size and scope of the project, and what your deadline is. The only person who can answer your question is YOU!

Hello everyone, I'm writing an application to intercept web requests done by Internet Explorer and NETSCAPE and then get the url and do some processing. I found some sample code on how to do that with Internet Explorer and its working fine..
Sample Code: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1606
but I need a way to do that in Netscape..
Please help me I've been searching for this for 2 weeks and havn't found a way.
Thank you,
Iyad Marzouka

Your going to have to write new classes for Netscape that do the exact same thing the IE sample does. Problem is your going to need the documentation from Netscape's site on the COM class that Navigator exports in order to match up classes, methods, and events to duplicate IE's functionality. Then you can rewrite the sample's class for a Netscape version, that is, IF Netscape exports everything you need...

I am writing a custom control that inherits from the combo box. I like to hide the DropDownStyle property from the user. I have learned from MS Help and many posted threads to shadow the property with <Browsable(False), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)>, it hides the property from the property page, but it didn't hide from Intellisense. I must do something wrong, would be glad if anyone can give a suggestion.
Here is the code:
<Browsable(False), EditorBrowsableAttribute(EditorBrowsableState.Never), _
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _
Public Shadows Property DropDownStyle() As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBoxStyle
Get
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As ComboBoxStyle)
End Set
End Property
BTW, I am using Framework 1.0. Many thanks,
Tao

It's my understanding that your can't hide it from Intellisense because you would have to remove the property in order to do that. Since your inheriting that property from another class, you can't block it. Since the parent class made the property public, you can't change that...
I could be wrong so if anyone would like to correct me, please, feel free!

Thanks for the info, but I hope this isn't the case. Could anyone point me to any document to verify this?

It didn't hit me until this morning, but you made you Shadowed property Public. Change it to Private and it might solve your problem.

I tried it. It actually got more confusion. The property is still available in Intellisense, it calls something that I can't even tell. I assume it calls the property in the parent class, but it doesn't seem to change the behavior of the control.
Thanks for try.

I am trying to move from a DataGrid to a new form that presents me with the information selected from the grid for updataing of a record. On the DataGrid I present a name and customer number. From there I can select a specific customer and then want to move to a form where the remaining information is presented to me for that specific customer (ie the 7th row on the grid) and allows me to change the information then return to the grid. I've tried a few things and have been unsuccessful so far.
Thanks in advance, Jim

How about using a detail form that accepts a customer id as a queryString parameter?
http://localhost/myApp/myDetailForm.aspx?id=xxxx
The detail form could present itself as a data entry form for a new record if the id parameter is not present, or an update form querying the db for data on customer id=xxxx and presenting it.
Then use a TemplateColumn in your datagrid with a data binding expression to construct a hyperlink to the detail form, supplying the id.
Just one idea.

How can i get a referencing Form object from an handle
to a window?
thanks.

|

|

In simple methods, you can't. Reason being is you can't get a reference to memory that sits outside your process without going thru elaborate means to do it. I remember seeing something similar about three or four years ago in a kind of debugger app, but it involved using a .DLL injected into the target apps process.
What are you looking to do? There may be another method to get it accomplished...

Hi everybody.
As a computer science major I've chosen to focus on programming. More specifically, VB.NET and C#. Is this a good place to ask some very basic questions?
Here is my first one:
When writing functions and subs, is there some sort of 'rule of thumb' that says when a separate class should be used instead of simply including it all in one .vb file?
Thanks
Brad
