Read the message again. You're trying to convert an entire DataGridViewRow to an integer and there is no implicit conversion for that. You need a single value from the row, not the entire row itself!

Since you're using Access as a database, it'd seem logical to create a report in Access itself. If this application is used by more than one person, I'd suggest you upgrade to Sql Server.

Hi.
For the life of me, I cannot get a TreeView Find to work. I have a list of drives, folders and subfolders in my TreeView. I have googled like crazy and either find repeated references to a very simple method, or convoluted methods that seem to apply to something else. Here is a very basic procedure that fails:
Private Sub TreeView1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.AfterSelect
Me.TreeView1.SelectedNode = Me.TreeView1.Nodes.Find("Client Supplied Files", True)(0)
End Sub
I put the Find method in the _AfterSelect event only because I was using that event as a test area to do the find. In other words...If I clicked on any node in the tree, the event would cause the selected node to change to the one specified in the search. But alas, no go. 
I have to be missing something really simple here.
Thank you for any hints!

How did you load them? Something similar to this[^]? In that case not all nodes will be loaded when the control shows, only the nodes that are expanded.

FINALLY! One that actually works!  . Now the big $30,000 question is, why doesn't the method that MS and so many others suggest NOT work?

treddie wrote: Now the big $30,000 question is, why doesn't the method that MS and so many others suggest NOT work?
Here's a free answer to an expensive question; due to the difference between the nodes' key and it's label. The "find" method works on keys[^] (the name of the node), not on the text being displayed. If you only pass a single string when creating a node, it will not have a name. Try the example below and play a bith with it.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Private TreeView1 As New TreeView()
Sub Main()
Using f As New Form
Dim btn As New Button
btn.Dock = DockStyle.Top
AddHandler btn.Click, Sub(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim foundNodes As TreeNode() = TreeView1.Nodes.Find("Node 39", True)
If foundNodes.Length > 0 Then
TreeView1.SelectedNode = foundNodes(0)
TreeView1.Focus()
End If
End Sub
TreeView1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
For i As Integer = 0 To 40
Dim key As String = String.Format("Node {0}", i)
Dim label As String = String.Format("Label {0}", i)
TreeView1.Nodes.Add(key, label)
Next
f.Controls.Add(TreeView1)
f.Controls.Add(btn)
f.ShowDialog()
End Using
End Sub
End Module

Heheh...Your code threw me for a second. It looks like you did a C#-to-vb conversion. But I figured it out and made the mods to get it to work in vb.Net. (I'm not a "C" guy). Here is my change to your translation, with a caption added to the button:
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Dim TreeView1 As New TreeView
Sub Main()
Using f As New Form
Dim btn As New Button
btn.Dock = DockStyle.Top
btn.Text = "Find ""Label 39"""
AddHandler btn.Click, AddressOf BClick
TreeView1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
For i As Integer = 0 To 40
Dim key As String
key = String.Format("Node {0}", i)
Dim label As String = String.Format("Label {0}", i)
TreeView1.Nodes.Add(key, label)
Next i
f.Controls.Add(TreeView1)
f.Controls.Add(btn)
f.ShowDialog()
End Using
End Sub
Private Sub BClick(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim foundNodes As TreeNode() = TreeView1.Nodes.Find("Node 39", True)
If foundNodes.Length > 0 Then
TreeView1.SelectedNode = foundNodes(0)
TreeView1.Focus()
End If
End Sub
End Module
This makes complete sense now...The name/key is NOT the text label. Although it is best to make sure the key = text, so that you don't get confused by the results.

Sounds like you're abusing the dataset as a local cache. If you want to cache your data locally, consider using a local database and a synchronization framework; it'd save you a lot of redundant calls.
Alternatively, you can find all that has been added using plain SQL; perform a SELECT WHERE NOT IN and pass the values for the primary keys of the records in your dataset. Deleting would be something similar. For updates, one could use a timestamp (think "lastmodified"-field).

Hi.
I was reading the article:
.NET 2.0 Workaround for PathTooLongException
for a solution to the too long path name problem. In that article it states that there is a long, "W" version of the CreateFile() function. Now, the class he developed seems to support opening, reading and writing of files but not looking at the contents of a directory. I have two questions:
1. Is there an "easy" way to expand his class to include other functions such as listing directory contents? If so, what other functions would be required to pull this off? I have found such functions such as FindFirstFile(), but the documentation and Googling do not suggest that there are any "W" versions of these.
UPDATE: According to MSDN, FindFirstFileEx() does not carry the MAX_PATH limitation, so in theory, it should work.
2. In his code, he does not include declarations for his API functions, although he does import namespaces. Is this because he is working in C# (which I am only partly familiar with)? I have converted his code from C# to vb.Net, but the online converter cannot necessarily know that declarations need to be added to the converted code, if in fact they DO need to be. My experience says, "Yes", it definitely does, but then again, why wouldn't those same Import lines work just as well in vb.Net? If that is where these functions are located, then why does vb.Net require explicit declarations? Is this so an entire library does not need to be loaded into memory all at once?
Many thanks for any help!

He does. You can browse the source code using the links in the article. His P/Invokes start on line number 46.

Bad translator.
treddie wrote: why wouldn't those same Import lines work just as well in vb.Net? If that is where these functions are located, then why does vb.Net require explicit declarations? Is this so an entire library does not need to be loaded into memory all at once?
There's multiple ways to link/load a dll. The "using" or "import" lines are defining which namespaces to look in when searching for a specific class-type. Sometimes one needs to "add (a) reference" to an external assembly to be able to access types in other libraries. That's the usual route for managed code - anything in .NET.
There's also a lot of unmanged code on the machine, as is the WinAPI. The code is also linking to a specific part in the WinAPI in "kernel32.dll". Both VB.NET and C# need special declarations for these, decorated with the DllImport attribute.
Bastard Programmer from Hell
If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

Hello,
I have an application where users opens more than one windows on an MDI form.
I want users to be able to save their work environment for future opening and used. When next the saved look is open, all previously opened windows should also open at exactly where they were before closing/saving the work area.
Any help please
Thanks
