    Professional VB.Net programming

    No probs. If you're already in an environment involving software development, it might be worth having an informal word with the senior developer to see if they might be willing to train you up. No harm in trying. Companies will generally prefer to employ from within.

    Professional VB.Net programming

    It's worth applying for graduate jobs, as soon as you feel you have a grasp programming generally. There's no replacement for hands on experience, if you manage to get one the training you'll receive will far outweigh anything you can learn at college. Don't make the mistake I did and leave...

    form loses Focus

    Hey masterlixx, Try calling Me.Refresh after updating the information on the form. Hope this helps, Regards, Andy

    Too many boards perhaps...

    Just my two cents regarding the level of forum activity... Although the number of registered users : activity level seems small, practically speaking I've not found another VB.Net specific forum where answers or pointers are received as quickly as on this one. Try checking the "New posts" at...

    Computer ID

    Hey cjohnson, We had to do something similar, I started by trying to obtain a computer specific fingerprint from serial etc.. We then got them to activate the product with a product key using a simple php script and mysql database online. However for simple sharing, I wouldn't worry about...

    determine if a devision result in a reminder

    Hey Signo, Maybe something like: Dim testString as String = "i like turnips" Dim even as boolean For lindex = 0 to testString.Length-1 even = ((lindex + 1) mod 2 = 0) if even then Debug.Writeline("Character: " & testString.Chars(lindex) & " is at an even position") else...

    Icons with Jagged edges

    Thanks John, I've opted out of using the icons, from the set we've purchased and am using masked bitmaps instead, which seems the most effective route. Apparently icons, although the transparency is handled, will always look off coming from an ImageList as the imagelist converts them into...

    Icons with Jagged edges

    Hi all, I've been having this problem for a while, but now that we've bought some spanky new icons, I'd like to resolve it! When I place icons in an imagelist, for use in the toolbar or elsewhere, at design time, the icons look terrible, no matter the quality of the originals. The edges are...

    Error on form closing

    Hey, After a quick google, seems this must be quite a rare issue! Did come up with this, not sure it'll help though but it's something. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=171220&SiteID=1 Regards, Andy

    Datatables

    This should sort your columns... Dim ts1 As New DataGridTableStyle ts1.MappingName = "Arraylist" Dim c1 As New DataGridTextBoxColumn c1.MappingName = "Firstname" c1.HeaderText = "Firstname" c1.Width = 100 ts1.GridColumnStyles.Add(c1)...

    OK it actually does work!, as you can see I'm learning too, I had no idea it was so easy to bind to an arraylist..

    Datatables

    Hi, It will work but I imagine at the moment you're settings the datasource every time you add an item, and it's a bit dodgy.. if you follow this link you can see how it should be done, it's not too much work. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316302 As for editing the sequential file, it can...

    Datatables

    Oh! So sorry... I didn't realise you wanted to bind to a datagrid! The arraylist won't work like this (You'd have to do quite a bit more to make a bindable list) If you want to bind to a datagrid you would be best using a Datatable, I provided a link to a tutorial on datatables above. Again...

    Datatables

    Hey, I've edited the post (made a slight mistake) but you should be declaring it outside your loop ie.. dim tmpPerson as Person (not New person) then reuse that declaration inside the loop ie tmpPerson = New Person. You don't sound stupid at all.. once you've got your head round the OO stuff the...

    Datatables

    Hi programmingstudent, Having read your previous post, I'll tell you how I'd go about it from an OO perpective, other may disagree. Create a new class to store a single row from your file and give it properties related to the values from the file for example if the row represented a person, a...

    Query Unload?

    I'm not sure why it's appearing twice? However I did make a slight mistake, it should be e.Cancel = true rather than e.Cancel. If your still having problems post the event handler code. It should look like this:- Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As...

    Query Unload?

    As redmo says, you can place the code where ever you like.. try this. Place a new button on the form. Go to its properties and set the Text property to say "Exit" or "Close". Go back to the form and double click on the button. The code window will open and has made a new sub routine for you...

    Query Unload?

    Something like this should do the job... If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to exit now?", "Exit application", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = DialogResult.Yes Then Application.Exit() End If Edit: If you want to close the form but not the whole application...

    Yet another question regarding arrays

    Hey, I assume this is crashing on you, as the RSVP array needs some dimensions set. Try setting them to a large value to test this ie dim RSVP (100,10). Also (I'm sure you've got this one sussed) make sure that it really is the sixth element you're looking for when trying to find "yes"...

    count the number of words in a sentence?

    Not sounding good sir! If you do decide to stick at it, just remember that none of it's as bad as it looks once you've got your head round the basics. I wouldn't blame God though, I'm fairly sure he still programs in VB6.
