Hello worldwide developers. here is my problem: The business rule is that not just anybody should be allowed to register on the site, so only the users with a role "Property Manager" should be allowed to register new users.... So when she registers a new user, the new user will either be assigned the role "Property Manager" or "landlord" The issue comes in now because we use the built in register control from the toolbox...which currently does not give an option for selecting roles. So at the moment a new user is not even given a role. So my question is, how can i manipulate the register control?...or hard code it?...so that the Property Manager can select a role when registering new users. Hope someone can help. Thanks people

Hi all I have created crystal reports in vb.net using SQLEXPRESS database. I have now converted the SQLEXPRESS database to a normal SQL SERver database. This new database has all the same tables and table names but the database name is different (Cannot be changed). I have changed the database source for the reports via Datbase expert but when running the report it still gives the error that it cannot find the datasource and references the old database name. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this error or where to change the reference to the old database?

Hey all Im trying to create a very simple forum where people can basically just post comments. Ive tried countless tutorials and downloaded many source codes but everything is either: 1: in c# and not VB script 2: In an old VB version and wont convert correctly or... 3: requires a remote connection to a server...this is impossible for me as its a project for university and the network settings dont allow this. So can anybody PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE point me to a good article or source code download or something..? I need it to not be C#...and like i said...it can be very very simple. please help

Hey all. Im trying to consume RSS feeds in my app but it doesnt seem to work. No matter which feed i use i get the same error message. The error message is: "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond" Does anyone know if there is a setting i must change, or some kind of codeline to add to the config file?

Dazz

The reason why i worded my query the way i did is because I have already done 6 tutorials off the web and none of them worked. So i posted a comment in order to hopefully find someone who has used them before.I dont want anyone to write a tutorial for me... But thanks anyway for your brilliant suggestion.

Hey man. We were having the same problem. Try do this. When you store it in the database...store the full url of where the picture can be found within your project. For example...our image is stored inside a folder called "Properties" which is inside a folder called "Images" So it finally worked when we saved it in the DB field as: ~\Images\Properties\officeblock1.jpg Hope that helps peace

Hi all. Ive got a silly little problem irritating the hell out of me. I binded a GridView to a collection in the code, as we had to loop through several tables to retrieve the correct specific record. So I did the same for the DetailsView and everything seems to be working, in terms of they both show the correct details. But the irritating problem is that when i select a record in the gridview to display it in the detailsview, I have to click the "Select" link once, which seems to highlight the row, and then click "select" a second time to display its details. This irritates me as I know from when I used smart tags before, I only had to click once. Does anyone have an idea whats wrong? or what i need to do? Much Appreciated

Thanks Yogesh...That worked. Could you also tell me how we create a new word document in VB which can then be saved somewhere on the pc? thanks again

Hey everybody, I was hoping someone could help us upload a word document from (anywhere on the PC) into the windwordcontrol on the form. This is our first time integrating office and so our knowledge is very limited. We have gotten as far as adding the winwordcontrol to the toolbox, and adding a reference to the word object in the COM tab. I also read "Integrating Microsoft Word in your .NET applications" by Anup Shinde on the codeproject, but I dont seem to understand. Perhaps its because its in ASP syntax- or else its just me. ;) Can anyone help? or provide a url to another article which may help? thanks dazz

Dazz

thanks dude. that helped

Dazz

Just wanted to say thanks to everybody who gave input. ciao.

Yes we did try take the max out, but then the problem comes in when a record is deleted. For example, if we have ten records but number five is deleted, then since there is now nine records, the next ID will be number 10. But number 10 still exists. We then tried to simply generate a random number but there is something wrong with our block of code as only the 3 same numbers keeps getting generated.

Hi all...Im hoping someone can help us. For our project, we need to obviously create unique ID's in our tables as one always has to. But we want to include alphabetic characters. For example, in our landlord subsystem, it should generate LL002. Currently we simply just loop through the collection, add one more, and then concatenate it with the "LL". However, this seems to work sometimes and not others...so it doesnt seem very stable. Is there any other way to do it? oh- we using visual basic 2005 thanks
