I used this converter: http://www.dotnetspider.com/convert/Csharp-To-Vb.aspx. It seems to compile the app then use the MSIL to convert it to VB, which is the best way of translation. If this...

Don't embed your password into your app; it's very bad practice. What if the password changes? You'd need to recompile every time..

VC++.NET compiles to MSIL or standard machine code. You can set it in the project properties. (The /clr switch)

Try changing this line: cmd = New OleDbCommand(SQL) to this:
cmd = New OleDbCommand(SQL,cn)

Also, your Page_Load event probably isn't working, because it's not wired up. Is there a 'Handles...

Is it me, or are you not specifing a server in your connection string?

I assume, that that FiFile.Open() is throwing your exception. If that is the case, your not trapping the proper exceptions. Consult the MSDN Documentation...

Can you post a code block?

Just did a little checking, and I found out that the Msflexgrid is a COM Control. When working with .NET, it is very desirable to stay with pure managed code (for example, use .NET controls, instead...

Ah, I realize what he's saying now. Instead of calling the .Show() method, call the .ShowDialog() method. This method will show you're form as a modal dialog box.

Documentation Link: MSDN .NET...

If you people understood the way .NET worked, you would know that a VB.NET program would run just as efficient as a C++.NET or C# program. So, that VB stereotype is false (well, true for VB6 and...

Have you tried using a DataGrid?

Can you restate your question? I'm kinda confused by the way you worded it.

What database engine are you using? SQL Server? Microsoft Access? MySQL? Are you just using ADO.NET's DataTable?

Isn't that a simple if statement? If ya need some help:


Dim valid as Boolean
'code would go here to open the db connection, and retrieve
'the value that you need, setting valid to true...

Check out the ErrorProvider control out ;-).

The web service is an ASP.NET application, and thus has session. So, again, have you tried storing it? ;-).

The way most web services work (that require authentication), is by taking the login...

Are you trying to scroll the whole form? A MDI Container? A control on a form?

Scrollbars in what type of window? Are you using a Windows Forms app? ASP.NET Webpage?

Well, if it's only one value that your going to be returned, you can use the .ExecuteScalar, which returns an Object (the first row, first column of your query).

Steu:

I typed my response three times because my first two weren't clear enough. I still don't like how it came out :-P. Then again.. I'm the only guy who writes drafts for a birthday card.

Although Steu's response was accurate, I'm not too sure how 'clear' it was.

Ewww Dr. Liang! Was she the one that taught the robotics class with the Lego bots?

Heh, Hofstra's finest.

Heh, I've never heard of. With that said, it looks like its an interesting product.

I like the way I develop fine, I don't need any addons like that :-P.

Are you talking about Visual Studio .NET 2003? If yes, I love it. It's the best IDE (Integrated Development Environment) on computers today (for any language). It's so powerful, and reliable.
...

Okay, in response to your first question, it is ALWAYS better to use & when connecting strings.

For your second, you would need to declare an integer or something on top of the forms codebehind...

Check out www.asp.net and www.windowsforms.com - they are Microsoft websites with lots of information about .NET. They have links to all types of guides.

If you don't want to purchase Visual Studio.NET right now, you could always try SharpDevelop (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx) a free .NET IDE written in C# - you get the...

Actually it makes a lot more sense. If you wanna check out Visual Studio 2003 (and Visual Basic .NET), Microsoft offers free online sessions into a computer running Visual Studio 2003.



Here...

Well, yes, but no.

In VB6, a click sub would need to be named with the buttoname_Click(). In .NET, that type of thing is gone. You can name the sub anything you want - it just needs to have a...

I'm not going to lie to you - it is a big difference. It's a big change, and it will be hard to get used to it - at first.

Over time, you will see how much better VB.NET. I refuse to work in VB6...

I love .NET. I actually live for .NET.

If your a VB6 programmer... it has somewhat of a learning curve to go .NET... but it will be extremely rewarding.

Not only is .NET 100x faster, but...

Is there a form layout window in .NET? lol

This is what I am talking about:
http://tekmaven.dizla.com/centerscreen.jpg

I'm 99% sure that this requires no code - its in the properties window for the form :-).

If you have one of Cablevision's IO packages (digital cable) then you get TechTV. No IO = no TechTV.

I think I would know VB.NET the most here ::grins::. Remember, since you are in VB.NET, you want to avoid using things that are external from the .NET Framework.

So what do you do? Simple :-)! ...

Sorry about the delay, I'm kinda busy. Your doing this in a Windows Forms Application, not a Web Appliction. Make a new Web Application, and it will work :-)

Nope. C++ and C# apps compile to MSIL just like VB.net apps. MSIL is MSIL, and it executes at the same exact speed.

The only overhead? The .NET Framework itself.

*MSIL = Microsoft...

I'm a beta test of Visual Studio .NET 2003. Visual Studio .NET 2003 dosen't have the .NET Framework 2.0, it has the .NET Framework 1.1. Also, my website (PCMK) is running totally on the .NET 1.1...

:-D Glad I can help! The .NET framework is so amazing. You can do things so many ways, its a joke :-).

What's the best part? Your VB apps run just as fast as c# or c++ apps :-).
