(1) How can I code a text box to accept characters of the alphabet, a spacebar (and a - for double barrel names) only? Ideally this text box is named txtName and is supposed to accept people’s names.
(2) In VB. NET how can I create a library of common procedures that I will constantly need to copy and paste to different projects
Been always great to be part of this forum, especially when I know they know more than what I know…..

You could run a regular expression on the contents of the textbox changing, and disable the OK button (or whatever) until the expression matches.

Try creating a Class Library project. This allows you to create a .NET assembly (held in a DLL) that can contain your common code base.

I have written a programme that should allow a pupil to enter his details and then the programme will display the pupil’s profile using a dialog box. I have worked the rest fine but I have difficulty in setting the leap year limits for the month of February. I have tried juggling around my code in many different ways, but seem not to get it right. I have left the code with an array of 10 leap years that I consider to fall within a pupil’s age. I definitely know that the problem is not with coding an array, it’s something else. I have said:
For Leap year 1 To Leap year 10
If the month is "February" And CInt(The “Value” of numeric-up-down representing the pupil’s year of birth) <> Leap year And [Day is ("29") Or ("30") Or ("31")] Then
ErrorMessage1
Exit Sub
End If
If the month is "February" And CInt(The “Value” of numeric-up-down representing the pupil’s year of birth) = Leap year And [Day is ("30") Or ("31")] Then
ErrorMessage2
Exit Sub
End If
However, an error exist somehow in the code, may you give me an idea of where the problem is.

You might want to learn what the rules for leap years are:
If the year is divisible by 4 then it's a leap year. However, if the year is also divisible by 100, then it is not, but it it's divisible by 400 then it is.
Hence 2000, 2004, 2400 are leap years, but 1900 and 2100 are not.
A leap year has one additional day, which is February 29th.
------------------
If you're using .NET, just use DateTime.Parse or something to see if the date entered is valid or not (as the DateTime APIs handle this stuff anyway, so you're better off using them). VB6 may have a similar API.

I'm making a small program wich has to be used to input bills. Becuase of this, it will have to format numbers for me.
Now, for example
When I my input is 3.50 then my output has to be 3,50 AND NOT 3500!!!!!
So my question is, how do you format numbers so that the "." becomes a "," ??? 
<<<eRiK>>>
|
|
|
|
|
vb6 ?
Dim n
n = 3500
MsgBox FormatNumber(n, 0, , , vbTrue)
|
|
|
|

I think you dont get my question well... When you enter a value (for example totall bill) most people don't use a "," but a "." . But if you enter a "." in VB, he will read it as a thousand sign, so 3.50 -> 3500 . But, I want him to make a value of it so 3.50 -> € 3,50 . Eventually without the €-sign !!
I hope you could now help me better ( by the way, it has to work with textboxes and not with msgboxes!!! )

maybe this function i made can help. this is for vb.net, hopefully thats wut ur using.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Function GetEuros(ByVal num As Double) As String
Dim tempNum As String = Format(num, "n")
tempNum = tempNum.Replace(".", ",")
Return tempNum
End Function
(...)
Dim myNum As Double = 54.25

this makes text1.text = 54,25.

I am trying to make an application that stores and manipulates data. The problem is that I will be trying to market this application to small vendors (Strip mall stores) who cannot afford expensive SQL Server licenses.
My example is a small store (e.g. laundromat) order tracking system. Is it possible to write an application like that without using a database backend?

I was thinking more in the line of using files to store data but that pro'lly isnt a good solution coz of the whole locking issue with multi-users. Might as well write my own sql server. Access is a good solution but there are problems when the database size increases.
I was thinking more from a business model side of the product. Is it cost effective to defer the cost of SQL Server to the user. Maybe get a 1 seat license since only the application will be using the database? I just wanted to figure out how to price the product before i actually start working on it.

I was just wondering how you use the printer that is selected by the user through the common dialog box. Everytime i tell it to print it just prints to the default printer. How do i make it print to the printer selected. It would be great to get the code for both VB 6.0 And .NET . Thank you for any help.

Simple:
ListView1.Item(<index>).Selected = True
But, the ListView control also has to have the focus for the select highlight to show. Use this:
ListView1.Select() ' Make the ListView the active control.
ListView1.Item(<index>).Selected = True ' Select the items we want.

I would like to create a project using VB.net that will load on a web server that will launch a program at a specific time of day, actually send an email at a specific time each day. I must be missing something, because all the event handlers I've found seemed to be based on button clicks or page loads, etc. Nothing seems to be monitoring a server time and executing when appropriate.
Can you make a recommendation for the code and file type that would accomplish this? Can it be done using VB.net? What type of file would be required? I'm assuming there is no way to make an aspx file with this functionality.
Thanks.

Sorry for the cross post. I posted it the first time to the wrong forum.
I'm writing a plug-in in VB.NET to a an application called DesktopSidebar for Windows. Right clicking my plug-in's "panel" shows among other things a Properties Dialog. All I need to do is pop up the dialog in the proper place and on the same monitor in a multiple monitor environment. My plug-in doesn't appear at this point to have the Window handle of the calling application. After quite a bit of trial and
error I came up with this:
Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Int32,
ByRef lpRect As RECT) As Int32
Public Structure RECT
Dim Left As Int32
Dim Top As Int32
Dim Right As Int32
Dim Bottom As Int32
End Structure
Dim colProcess() As System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim oProcess As Diagnostics.Process
colProcess = Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("sidebar")
If colProcess.Length > 0 Then
oProcess = colProcess(0)
Dim handle As System.IntPtr = oProcess.MainWindowHandle
Dim loc As RECT
If GetWindowRect(handle.ToInt32, loc) > 0 Then
'Where are we docked?
If loc.Left = 0 Then
Me.Location = New Drawing.Point(loc.Right,(loc.Bottom -
loc.Top)/2)
Else
Me.Location = New Drawing.Point(loc.Left - Me.Width,
(loc.Bottom - loc.Top)/2)
End If
End If
End If
This works great as long as you have a single monitor, whether DesktopSideBar is docked to the Left or the Right. However, I run in a
multi-monitor environment. In my particular setup my primary display is my laptop and my secondary display actually hovers ABOVE my primary display (it's a 19 inch monitor) and I have my desktop extended onto it. The code above, only targets the primary display, even though I dock DesktopSideBar on my secondary monitor. My screen coordinates are still good... just not on the right monitor.
Could anyone offer up some suggestions on how to not only determine the monitor my panel is on, but also how to set the location of my dialog to a specific place on the proper monitor?
