That's what I thought. VS Express is coming up with the dependanies itself.
I don't use the Express Editions, but in the full versions you can open the Project Properties dialog and there is a Publish tab in there. Clicking on that, you get a page that lists a bunch of information about how the project is, obviously, published, with a button labeled Prerequisits. Clicking on that button, you get a dialog that lists a of items that the installation will depend on being installed. On mine, I can just clear the dependancies I don't need, close the dialogs and re-publish the app.

It's resolved now...
I copied the entire Form1.vb and form1design.vb etc to notepad, created a new project and then pasted the code back into the new project..
This appears to have resolved the problem, I'm guessing that there must have been some residual "reference" somewhere which forced VB Express to require the above a pre-req, even tho they weren't utilised in the code...
thanks for you thoughts anyway...

I would like to output a decimal number and have the output routine
do the rounding for me. That is, I do not want to have to call the
routine Math.round. Please consider the following code fragment:
Console.WriteLine("Student {0} as a GPA of {1}", _
Name, gpa )
In this case, the variable gpa is of type decimal. I want to modify my format
string so that gpa will be rounded to two decimal places. Is there a way to
do this?
Thanks
Bob

As was posted,string formatting enables you to display just the number of decimal places you require, rounding is a different matter. unless you are prepared to write your own rounding algorithm (not difficult, but tedious and slower than any built in function) then what is wrong with Math.Round? It does what it says on the tin, and it's in the System namespace and therefore unlikely to cause any slowdown due to loading excessive extraneous assemblies.

You can use the Format() function:
Console.WriteLine("Student {0} as a GPA of {1}", _
Name, Format(gpa, "0.00"))

Hi everyone,
would like to import data from an excel table into a SQL table. The problem is that the data from only one Excel table has to be imported into 3 different tables of the same sql-database. So the main problem in my eyes is to associate every excelcolumn to the matching column of one of the trhee diffferent sql-tables. Of course this has to be done manually by the user. I could immagine two listboxes on a form. First-one for the excelcolumns (source) and anotherone for the sqlcolumns(destination) A third listbox could display the columns the user put together.
I have already managed to get the excel-data displayed in a datagridview without opening the excelfile with this code.
oAdapter = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter( _
"SELECT * FROM [" & strSheetName & "]", OleDbExcelConn)
thanks in advance,
Jeiss

Why not select * to a data set, get the column names and do it yourself if you know where they should map up to? You could use LINQ or call a bunch of queries to load the data. Alternatively create a stored procedure that selects * into, processes it, and then frees the temporary table if you use one.

Hi Ted2102,
i suppose that your suggested solutions would do for an excel file with known columnnames and a constant number of columns. But that's not my case. The files i want to be able to import will not always have the same number of columns and their columnames will change from file to file. The only thing these files have in common is that they will contain contact informantions, like name, address, telephonenumber... a.s.o. That's why i wanted to be able to assign the columns of the Excel-file manually (in the listboxes of the form) to the ones of my SQL database.
I'm sorry for your efforts in helping me, but in the mean time the situation has changed and i have found a nice code snippet which does the kind of work i need.
As a beginner in VB i would like to progress in programming. And that's why i think it would be more important to practice a little bit with the technics used in this snippet. So my new question is now: Does anybody have a link to a good tutorial about learning "List(of Type)" and about "LINQ-queries" for beginners?
Any link or code-snippet would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, I have not found an ideal reference yet. I only found some documentation on a Microsoft website so far.

Hi Ted2102,
never mind. The documentation from Microsoft is not that bad. But there are not really enough easy code examples. They tend to explain everything only once, showing only one example. All that i can tell by now is that working with linq seems to be much more efficient.
By the way i discovered a pretty well-filled collection (not a collection in the Visual basic sense) in a separate CodeProject Forum.
Last but not least, don't bother about the continuously changing name under my messages. I only experienced little logon problems.... But everything should be fine now. 
Anyway, thanks you for your help.

Ask this in the ASP.NET forum. You're question is specific to the functionality of the GridView control, not VB.NET.

Thanks I wasn't sure which one to ask in.

I have a form that displays a list of records in a DataGridView. The recordset in question is about 9,000 records. I know that is a lot but is required by the application.
The problem I am experiencing is the form closing. I call the dispose methods of some class level variables which slows the close down quite a bit. I have seen it take anywhere from 10 seconds to 2+ minutes. This is a hinderence to the users of the application. I have written some Debug.Writeline() statements with timestamps to see how long each dispose call is taking. The slowdown is on my unfiltered datatables which are bound to the DGV combobox columns. A filtered version is bound to each individual cell that is edited but after the edit the original unfiltered datatable is bound to the cell again. The unfiltered tables only contain 20 or so records but are taking 8+ seconds minimum to clear and dispose compared to the milliseconds it is taking all of the other tables.
Here is my current iteration of the close (please note that the original call was only to dispose of the _Utilities object, I have added the other calls to try tracking down the issue):
uxRecords.Clear()
uxRecordsBindingSource.DataSource = Nothing
uxRecordDataGrid.DataSource = Nothing
uxRecordDataGrid.Rows.Clear()
CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxVersionNameGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).DataSource = Nothing
For Each versionNameCell As DataGridViewComboBoxCell In CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxVersionNameGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).Items
versionNameCell.DataSource = Nothing
Next
CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxDepartmentNameGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).DataSource = Nothing
For Each departmentNameCell As DataGridViewComboBoxCell In CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxDepartmentNameGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).Items
departmentNameCell.DataSource = Nothing
Next
CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxSizeGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).DataSource = Nothing
For Each sizeCell As DataGridViewComboBoxCell In CType(uxRecordDataGrid.Columns("uxSizeGrid"), DataGridViewComboBoxColumn).Items
sizeCell .DataSource = Nothing
Next
_Utilities.Dispose()
The _Utilities.Dispose call disposes of each table and that is where the slowdown is. Everything up to that call occurs within the same second.

Why are you calling Dispose on your DataTables? You don't have to unless you've created your own DataTable objects and there is stuff that needs to be freed/done before your DataTable object is destroyed.
The tables will get Destroyed/Collected by the GC when they go out of scope automatically. Unless you have a valid reason to, by default, there is no need to call Dipose on DataTables.

The DataTables that I am disposing of are instantiated at the class level for specific data. It is not the DataSet bound DataTables that I am disposing of, it is those individual datatables. Didnt I have a discussion with you a few years ago where you said to dispose of anything that implements IDisposable?

I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone who I talked to about what a few years ago. 
Probably so, though, my position has changed on various aspects of the .NET Framework over the years. It used to be that it was suggested you called Dispose on anything implementing IDisposable, but now, that's changed. You should know WHY you're calling Dispose on an object and understand that an implementation of it may only be there to let you override it in your own inherited classes.

That is horrible. It used to be simple: it is available, there may or may not be unmanaged resources involved (and that may change from one version to the next), so call Dispose().
As to the original question: wouldn't it be wise, and maybe even help, to remove the data binding first?

Maybe. The only way to tell would be to try it. I'm just not that into testing it myself this week.

I am working on that path now. I tried simply setting the DataSource = Nothing for the columns, datagridview, and cells within the combobox columns. Apparently that isnt working good enough because the dispose is forcing the grid to go through and remove bindings which is raising events which is slowing down the dispose.

Hi
I have created a .NET application with a custom installer, that all works fine.
After the installation process I need to access a file that is located inside the folder where the MSI installer / setup is located.
The problem I have is I cannot work out how to get the path for the MSI installer / setup.
Can anybody please help and advice me the best way to get this path while I am still inside the "Commmited" of the installer
vb.net or C# either will be fine.
Thanks

Your installer should not be accessing files from the folder that the .MSI was launched from. Any files it needs should be inside the .MSI itself.
Windows Installer, AFAIK, doesn't have a facility to tell the code inside an .MSI where it was launched from.

When I get this project done we are upgrading to 2008. 
) This is on an asp.net datagrid on an aspx form - not a windows form. Is there a way to get this information? I can see the _RowID in the watch window but I don't know how to access it from code. I have tried searching on Google and I have found nothing that explains how to do it in 2003. I don't want to search or limited the datagrid. I just want to jump to the page it's on and highlight it.
