Part of an app I am developing allows the user to change the color of some GUI items. What is the best way to store that color in XML and then set set the color from the XML at a later date?
TIA

I have to write e programm similar to chess in VB.Net.Anybody can tell me where I find sourse for that or maybe help files and sites

Start by analysing the problem, then break it down into discrete areas. Then break it down some more...then some more....ad infinitum....
Problem with chess is that the logic on the opponent side (assuming it's a computer player) will be a BEAST.....probably some components / classes to help on t'internet though...

Do a google search on chess +"vb.net" - there are a few examples out there but you might have to convert from another language. I would do the search for you but my IE has been hijacked and I can't access most web pages anymore - I get taken to a Lycos search.

What are your goals? What features do you want?
I'd suggest you start by breaking your problem in to small manageable portions and then seeking help on any that still remain a problem.
First, write down a list of features that you want, if any are still vague then subdivide it again.
Second, prioritise the list - What is important to you? What is a must have? What is a nice to have?
Third, see if you've left anything out and add it in. Does it all glue together? How will it respond in the event of a system failing somewhere (for example, a network connection goes down)
Now, see if there are any area which you require further assistance on and you can post more specific problems, which more people will help with.

Does anyone know if you can control the harddrive directly. I want to beable to read or write to a specific sector to see what is contained in that sector. And can this be done with VB 6 or .NET or would you have to use a C type language. Thanks for any help

i thought with win 2000/xp/nt you couldnt control it directly because of the core design of the os [shell/kernel].
i know sum1 will help you about this, because i sure cant lol.
sum1 can reaffirm this or disprove it, as they will know more about it than me.

I know that you can not access the memory because of the protected mode that the OS operates at, but im not sure about the hard drive i think it is possible.

i thought it was all hardware, and in contrary i thought u could access the memory.
we'll have ta wait and c for a more knowledgeable response.

It's possible in VB6 and VB.NET, but not easily done. Since the hardware is abstracted from your app, there is no direct way of doing this. You have to go through the drivers sitting in the kernel to get the sectors for you. You'll be declaring a bunch of API calls and structures to get this to work.
C++ is a much better choice...

Hello,
I want to use a grid in VB6 that is capable of being bound to an ADO data source, and also is capable of hosting comboxes and other controls in the grid columns. Do the native Datagrid and Hierarchical FlexGrid in VB6 do this? As far as I can see, all the grids that come with VB are incapable of "hosting" other controls. Any comments or recommendations?
Thanks,

Looking to find how I can get a remoted object to contact client applications. I need to reference the application from the server process but there is no such thing as referencing an application. How can I get this done?
|
|
|
|

you need to have a bidirectional remoting channel.
I think the standard .net channel classes are only unidirectional. Search the web for "bidirectional remoting channel". I've seen such a tutorial but I can't remember where it was.

If I am not mistaken I just found a simple chat application. I believe it is raising an event on the objects that instantiate em. Is this the way to pull it off?
Thanks for your input Klaus.

It depends if the chat app is using remoting.

Here is my code:
Dim sqlconnectionstring As String = "Data Source=Server;User ID=admin;Password=lalala;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Oasis"
Dim SqlConn As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(sqlconnectionstring)
Dim strTrackingSheet As String = "Select * from Trackingsheet"
Dim datrackingsheet As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strTrackingSheet, sqlconnectionstring)
Dim dsPatient As New System.Data.DataSet
Dim dtNewPat As New System.Data.DataTable
Dim dr As New System.Data.DataRow
SqlConn.Open()
datrackingsheet.Fill(dsPatient, "TrackingSheet")
SqlConn.Close()
Dim PatCB As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(datrackingsheet)

Hi all,
I have several HTML-Files burned on a cd.
My idea now was to write a small program that will be executed by autorun.inf when the CD is inserted into the drive.
The program should now execute one of the HTML-Files of the disk and end itself.
My problem now:
- get the actual drive letter of the CD-Rom-Drive
- execute an external program (e.g. html-file)
- i'm completly new to vb.net
Thanks for any help!
Dirk

I don't think you want to use VB.NET for this. Simply because you're launcher will have to rely on the .NET Framework already being installed on the client machine.
Your launcher is better written in C++.
Also, you don't have to get the drive letter of the CDROM to launch the page. When your app is launched, it's default directory will be the root of the CD. All you need to do is Shell execute the .htm file.

I have a visual basic 6 application that needs some updating for a project moving from SQL 7 to SQL 2000. The application is an executable that users create shortcuts to on their desktops. The exe file resides on the same server as the sql 2000 database it needs to access. Previously users created an ODBC connection on their own Windows 2000 Professional workstations, and the application that resides on the server used a simple connection string of ...
oconn.open "DSN=MOL;UID=sa;" ( yeah I know this is bad, I inherited it this way )
... but now the server has been upgraded from NT4 to Server 2003, and the database has gone
from SQL7 to SQL2000. I have been experimenting blindly with new connection strings, and
am currently trying ...
oconn.open "Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=MOL;Data Source=server_name_here;"
The error I get when I run this vb exe on my own workstation with an ODBC connection setup
to use SQL authentication (using a user/pass that is setup in SQL) is ...
"Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Being a newbie to VB and SQL, and given the fact that I inherited this app to try and fix it, I am wondering if this approach is totally wrong? There are roughly 10 users who need to create a shortcut to this VB exe file that resides on the same server as the database, and the appliction is used to make updates to the database. Thanks for any suggestions.
