Try using SkinCrafter, a great ActiveX control which you can use for a DEMO version. You can find it at SkinCrafter[^] I hope this will fix you prob, (¯`·._.·[eRiK]·._.·´¯)

What kind of file were you looking at writing? There are a few methods available. Text files are the easiest and can be done using the FileStream classes: Dim sr As StreamWriter = File.CreateText(FILE\_NAME) sr.WriteLine("This is my file.") sr.Close() Binary files are a little more complicated but are still be based on FileStream classes: Dim fs As New FileStream(FILE\_NAME, FileMode.CreateNew) ' Create the writer for data. Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fs) ' Write data. Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To 10 w.Write(CInt(i)) Next i   w.Close() fs.Close()   ' Create the reader for data. fs = New FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read) Dim r As New BinaryReader(fs) ' Read data from Test.data. For i = 0 To 10 Console.WriteLine(r.ReadInt32()) Next i w.Close() For more information, lookup 'FileStream Class' in the VS Help Index, or on MSDN here[^]. RageInTheMachine9532

The MessageBox.Show method should be inside the catch statament, i.e. Try var1=number1/number2 Catch e As System.OverflowException MessageBox.Show("Error:Invalid Argument" & e.Message","Invalid format") End Try As for the extended textbox control that validates user input, I suggest you read the following CodeProject articles: Validating TextBoxControls[^] Validating TextBox[^] And for a more general view on custom control development, I suggest the following MSDN article Developing Custom Windows Controls using Visual Basic NET[^]

Why not change the startup module in your project properties? grtz, Guus

Did you already try IconXP? Try for 30 days. Then find a crack on astalavista. But my advice is to buy ;)

Jazeker: My solution to this problem is to write a function ReplNull which returns a default when a value is Null: Public Function ReplNull(ByVal varSource As Variant, _ ByVal varReplaceBy As Variant) As Variant If IsNull(varSource) Then ReplNull = varReplaceBy Else ReplNull = varSource End If End Function Or use the CASE WHEN clause in your SQL statement to replace Nulls by your default. grtz, Guus

hi,KEITHSTER i hope the following code snippet will help you first put a contextmenu control and a button control in the form then at the code part Private Sub Button1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseDown If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right And Me.Button1.Cursor Is System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.Hand Then ContextMenu1.Show(Button1, New Point(0, 0)) End If End Sub Good luck! if it still not work,put your code here I try my best!

You could either restrict your Property to String type, since your code handles everything as a number internally, or you could make an overloaded Property, one set for handling a String object and another for handling an Integer object. I'd go with making your property a String if you absolutely had to do string convertion to get an Integer out of it. Personally, if your going to be using the input strictly as an Integer, make the Property an Integer and don't mess with functionality you don't really need. RageInTheMachine9532

i think the minimum requirement of memory for .Net is around 128 MB. So try increasing ur ram. this worked for me. i had initially 128 mb with a P4 2.4 MHZ, Win Xp. I upgraded the ram to 512 MB and now .Net runs pretty fast. rIsHaBh

Thankyou for this... I will read and try this, sounds like the correct way to go. CoopsQC
