I experimenting with Writing database applications and trying to do different things with different controls. My current problem is I've been working on a feature to search a database containg my DVD collection. It is an Access 2003 Database with only one table. Here is my code thus far with the area where the program bombs in bold, any help would be greatly appreciated.Also the code that is supposed to check for a database is'nt working either, but I commented it out for now:
'Search<br />
<br />
'If they have no active dataset, refuse:<br />
<br />
'If ds.Tables.Count = 0 Then<br />
' MsgBox("Please use the file menu to open a dataset, or create <br />
'a new one first.")<br />
' Exit Sub<br />
'End If<br />
<br />
'search for the target in both columns, then display it<br />
<br />
Dim searchfor As String = InputBox("Enter you Search Term", "Search")<br />
<br />
searchfor = searchfor.ToLower<br />
lstResults.Items.Clear()<br />
<br />
Dim i, x, y, count As Integer<br />
<br />
dt = ds.Tables!DVDLIST ' set dt to point to this table<br />
<br />
TotalRows = dt.Rows.Count<br />
<br />
For i = 0 To TotalRows - 1<br />
x = ds.Tables(Name).Rows(i).Item(0).ToString.ToLower.IndexOf(searchfor) 'See if Title column matches<br />
<br />
y = ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(1).ToString.ToLower.IndexOf(searchfor) 'see about desc column too<br />
<br />
If x <> -1 Or y <> -1 Then 'Match<br />
lstResults.Items.Add(ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(0))<br />
'Add title field to a listbox<br />
count += 1<br />
<br />
End If<br />
<br />
Next i<br />
<br />
<br />
If count = 0 Then 'no matches found<br />
MsgBox("No match for " & searchfor & " was found...")<br />
Else<br />
lstResults.Visible = True<br />
End If

I don't see a bold line.

Is Access case sensitive ? SQL Server isn't.

What does this do ?

This is definately not how to write a database. You may as well store your data in text files if you're not going to use SQL to search through your data.
"SELECT * from DVDList where title LIKE '%" + searchfor +"' OR desc LIKE '%" + searchfor + "'"
would generate you something that would have a good shot of giving you what you need. I suggest you google for "Access VB.NET Connection" and see what you come up with.

If you are only making a simple poker game, you really don't need to get all fancy and do tons of research. You have 52 cards in a deck. You can select at random a number 1-52, each number representing a different card (1-13 = ace-king hearts suit, 14-27 = ace-king spades suit, etc), and you store what cards you have out on a 2 dimensional array to show who has them. For four players (3,4), unless you are using more than 5 cards. Once you have that down, you are left with the graphics. You could use labels, picture boxes, but from your post, I assume you want to get really fancy.

DirectX. I use it, but never really read any books on it, but I know tyhere is one out. You can make a fancy table object and use a cube object to handle the cards, just use different textures on them for different cards.
http://www.wings3d.com/[^]
^ is a good modeling program, but DirectX mainly users the .x or .m format, so you will have to convert your objects. Sorry I can't be of much help, but good luck.

Hello! 
I need some help in vb.net to solve transparency between layered objetcs. If you help me to figure out I really appreciate it. Here is the brief scenerio:
I have one form what uses magenta as a transparent color and then I have a image (Picturebox) a donut with alphachannel transparency. So the donut's middle is using alpaha transparency. I have a picture box with a JPG image and another a label. All these tree are inside a panel object. How can make all these three objects transparent to each other? like JPG will be on the back and then label will be above it shown as transparent and then donut will be on the top but when I look at donut, its alphachannel transparent section should show the objects its behind.
Thank you very much!

First step - if you want to draw something fancy, do it yourself, instead of using a picture box. i.e. handle OnPaint and draw the image yourself, setting it's transparency by using the ImageAttributes class.

Hi,
I have used the following code to print my file in dos mode. While printing it also prints the name of the file and its page no.
***
Dim oProc As New Process
Try
oProc.StartInfo.FileName = sFileName
oProc.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
oProc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
oProc.Start()
Catch e As Win32Exception
If e.NativeErrorCode = ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND Then
Console.WriteLine((e.Message + ". Check the path."))
Else
If e.NativeErrorCode = ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED Then
Console.WriteLine((e.Message + ". You do not have permission to print this file."))
End If
End If
End Try
****
But I don't want this line no. and file name. How do i remove it while print?
Regards
Rams
Be simple and Be sample.

You're not printing in DOS mode. You're actually launching Notepad to print a *.TXT file (or whatever other extension). There's no way to tell Notepad to change its Page Setup settings from outside the interface. You'll have to use a differnet method to print them, like supplying your own printing code perhaps.

I am getting a Security Exception while trying to write to the event log. I am logged on as an Administrator, have set the trust level to high and identity impersonate = true in the web.config file, and have created a new key called test in application in the event log and set the read and full control to user that I’m logged on as (i.e. Administrator) .I have set the event source of the event log I have created to test. I’m getting the following exception.
Server Error in '/ASP.NetProjects/EventLog' Application.

I need some code in VB.Net that will get all the mac address
of all the network cards on our network. I beleive a broadcast
command would be the best way to do this. Does anyone know
where I can find some code to do this?

Well, you have one problem. You can't get the MAC address of any NIC that's not on the same subnet that your app is running on. ARP requests won't hop routers.
The only way around this is to use WMI and query each Windows machine for it's list of network adapter configurations (Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration). This won't work with non-windows machines and will have problems with Windows versions below NT4 SP3.

Thanks for responding.
That is a good point.
Well for now lets say I just want to look at a subnet.
How could I do that in VB.net?
If I can get a list of the IP address I can query them
for their mac address.
What I am tring to do is look for a specific mac address.
This address will have the same first 3 numbers. These
are network devices that won't be attached to a computer.
Any help would great.

I need help. I want to save changes made to my data set through a datagrid to the main database. here is my code.
If myDataSet.HasChanges Then
myDataAdapter.Update(myDataSet.Tables("myDataTable"))
End If
each time I run it, I get the error:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.data.dll
Additional information: Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows."

How are you building your DataAdapater object. It looks like your missing the SqlCommand that actually updates the database. Just grabbing a dataset from a Sql SELECT statement will not let you write the changes back to the database. You need to supply the UPDATE commands to do it, or supply the DataAdapter with the SqlCommandBuilder object that uses the SELECT command to build the UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE commands for you.

Unfortunately I don't have the advantage of working in .NET yet...my question is this...In VB6 is there anyway to see the Windows Generated Designer code like you can in .NET?
I need to pass a parameter into a new form that Im creating and would like to modify the constructor...anyone have ideas on this?
Thanks

There is no Designer generated code like there is in .NET. The way I used to do it was to put a public method into the new form's code and call that to init the form after creating an instance of it.

If you open your *.frm file in Notepad, then you can see its form configuration at the top of the file. But this isn't code. You really shouldn't be messing with this config.
Tainter wrote: I need to pass a parameter into a new form that Im creating and would like to modify the constructor...anyone have ideas on this?
VB6 forms don't have constructors. The next best thing that you've got is the FormLoad event, but you can't pass anything to it. You'll need to create a Function/Subroutine to pass in data to be stored in member variables before showing your form.
