Because he was nothing but a no good troller comming into the VB group and bashing VB.

Hi All:
I have a peculiar Challenge and need a work around.There is a form that my application uses which has a drop down list being populated at run time.And there can be a case when there is no data to populate it.
Apart from the data being populated i want the dropdownlist to have the option "Select one by clicking" as the default selected option in this listbox.I have managed to do it by the commands txt_listbox.items.add and then selected the option using txt_listbox.items.findbytext("---").selected=true
but then the challenge is this option though gets selected is the last item on my dropdown listbox after all the data from the datatbase..But i want it to be the first..How do i do that.
If i try adding this entry and then populating from the database the database entries wipe out this entry or i get some nasty errors.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Regards

txt_listbox.items.insert(0,"Select one by clicking")<br />
txt_listbox.setselected(0,true)<br />
Hopefully that will work.

Anyone know of a good component or tool for VB.NET that will manipulate image(s) stored in SQL BLOB fields? I'm looking for something that will convert on the fly to jpeg, gif or some other smaller compressed format.

I am developing an application which needs to update the Tahoma.ttf font on Win9x machines (update means to delete and then insert) . According to MSDN, to delete font from Fonts directory, one needs to call RemoveFontResource(font-file) and SendMessage(...) to notify all top level windows.
Now I am getting problem when doing this.
Similarly if I do this from Windows Control Panel, it successfully updates the font file.
Please help in this regard.

Hi all. I'm trying to get a panel that only allows you to scroll vertically. This is what I've attempted:
Public Class VerticalOnlyPanel : Inherits Panel
Protected Overrides Sub OnCreateControl()
SetScrollState(ScrollStateHScrollVisible, False)
End Sub
End Class
with no success. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

can anybody tell me whether vb is
"event driven programming or object oriented programmin or a combination of both.
|
|
|
|
|
I would say both, object oriented and event driven.

Actually, it depends on the version. VB.Net is OOP but VB6 is only partially OOP. Both versions are event driven

Hi:
I would like to write an application with an automatic upgrade feature. Every time the application is executed, it should check if newer versions of certain DLLs are available. If yes, download and replace those DLLs.
Could anyone recommend a good resource and/or a example on how this can be implemented.
Thanks.

I don't know if this is the best way, but since it has been some time since you posted this, I'll take a shot at it.
You could use a Microsoft Internet Transfer Control to check versions listed in an html file.
<br />
Dim sTest as String<br />
Dim sUrl as String<br />
sUrl = "http://www.your-url-goes-here.com/versions.txt"<br />
Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault<br />
sTest = Inet1.OpenURL(sUrl)<br />
Then, you would need to compare the versions that you stored in that file with the versions of the files on the user's computer. There is likely a way to access the versioning information (I cannot find it right now,) but you could always have your application maintain a similar file on the user's computer that could would contain the versioning info.
Then, you could use the "OpenURL" to grab any needed files (saving them as binary.)
Here is the sample from MSDN
<br />
Dim b() As Byte<br />
Dim strURL As String<br />
' Set the strURL to a valid address.<br />
strURL = "FTP://ftp.GreatSite.com/China.exe"<br />
b() = Inet1.OpenURL(strURL, icByteArray)<br />
<br />
Open "C:\Temp\China.exe" For Binary Access _<br />
Write As #1<br />
Put #1, , b()<br />
Close #1<br />
Hope that helps.

I am new at all this, and this looks like a pretty good place for advice, these guys know what they are talking about.
O.K. I am studying programming and have managed to buy a full set of Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition. Three CD's. In bold there is written, msdn and Office Test Platform & Development Tools.
So what's the problem.
The platform works normally, but the help files won't load.
During the installation, when prompted for msdn CD No.1,
it will not accept it, and it is the same place I have just loaded the program with.
What am I doing wrong?

The MSDN Library consists of 3 CD's that will say MSDN Library.

If you have a Sub or Function with an Optional argument passed ByRef, what happens if you try to muniplate the contents of the variable if it wasn't passed in?

VB.NET: All optional variables have a constant default value. If no value is passed in, the argument will have the default value. You can manipulate it as much as you like, but when the procedure exits, your changes will be discarded.
VB6: Optional arguments can have default values, in which case the same rules as VB.NET apply. If they don't have a default value, you will get an error when you try to access them. Use the IsMissing function to determine whether a value has been passed in.

Hi,
Can anyone please clarify me in the following problem?
I have created an application in vb.net, which runs some process in background using task scheduler. when I access a network folder like "\\server\somedir" in my GUI it will work, because the loggedon user has permission to that network folder to connect. but I am running the background task as different user who is not having permission to that nework folder. But in windows 2000,XP, when we try to access to that nework folder using network places, it will prompt for username and passwork to connect to network folder. If I know this username and passwork in my background process, how should I connect to network folder in my vb.net programme. After some struggle, I came to know that I need to use CreateProcessWithLogonW API for this. But I am not able to make it work in my VB.net programme and connect to that network folder. And I tried impersonate the user and then create process using System.Diagnostics namespace. but in this case creating process will not take the impersonated user credentials, it only considers default loggedon user credentials. I have tough time in finding this.
Please Help me as soon as possible
Thanking you
Regards
PraveenP

Hi,
I sense that You wanted to execute a file on a remote machine. You can create a process in remote machine using WMI. Try reading documentation on System.Management Namespace which speaks on WMI. Creating a process in this way can impersonate the user credentials that you have specified by your background process.
