Visual Basic

thanx for ue concern "Notorious SMC" yes by file system I mean FAT32 or NTFS. how can i find out the filesystem on my harddisk along with the volume labels and partition size? rishabhs

it depends on what type of variable is. If it is a string then it is pretty straightforward: Dim abc as String ... fsoStream.WriteLine abc However, if it's some other type, you would have to do some type casting: Dim abc as Integer ... fsoStream.WriteLine CStr(abc) Keep in mind however that some variables cannot be type-casted. Hope that helps Notorious SMC The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark Twain

This atleast provides the idea. Show(int* x) { int* y; cout *x << endl; y = x += sizeof(int); cout << *y << endl; } Nick Parker You see the Standards change. - Fellow co-worker

I have zero experience with vb for applications, but in regular dot net you don't need anything but this one line: Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor Then Cursor.Current = Cursors.Arrow Hope this helps, Mike "MC5" C

I'm not sure why the textbox is showing 0, but looking from your SQL Statement,"Select Max(OrderNumber) from OrderGenerate" ,would only return 1 row, the maximum(largest) OrderNumber.Then RS.RecordCount would only return 1, thus your textbox would always remain "2" Notorious SMC The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark Twain

Thank you very much Richard, its working! Rui

Well if all you have is VB.NET then you are goingt o be in a bind. I belive that you only get the option to upgrade older VB6 projects if you have the Enterprize Architect version. Sounds like maybe you only have Pro. You probably don't want to upgrade the project anyway. Changing the path in the bas file will only get you so far. You will have to recompile once the change it made. That will require that you have VB6. If you are in a pinch and don't have access to VB6 (There is a copy in the older MSDN CD's) You can send me the project, let me know what you need changed, and I can rebuild it for you. Provided that you don't reference any other components that I don't have things should be ok.

I have project that I found on a Russian web site, that registers it self as a service and monitors the microsoft internet explorer. It will only work under windows 98. it suppose to work under 95 but it does not. email me at ilya@pokrovskiys.com if you want this project. It might be what your are looking for. You might find a way make it work under xp and 2000

I don't know how to do this, but make sure that windows does create short name for it. on 2000 and xp it is turned off by default. an there is no short names for the files. Die DOS die ...:)

In VB6 you use the Command$ function. It returns a string of the arguments passed into the app. You then have to parse it apart and act on each one. in VB.NET check this out: http://www.vb2themax.com/Item.asp?PageID=TipBank&ID=510[^] Paul Watson wrote: "At the end of the day it is what you produce that counts, not how many doctorates you have on the wall."

I have doen this in the past by using a separate table that only contains the autonumber feild and a column for a username. I add a new record to the table (by writing the username), to get a new invoice number, then a run a querry that grabs the top 1 from the list with that username. I then use that number in the table that contains the invoice data. Seems to work quite cleanly. Not sure just how leagle it is with regards to DB theory, but it has worked in the past.
