Try creating a console application and then adding these files to it. Where did these files come from ? Why are you trying to compile them outside of a project, surely they will end up in a project, can't you compile them there ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Therefore, you have to turn whatever you pass through into a string, to make it part of the string command. DaveC426913 wrote: It doesn't. It chokes trying to parse that line of code. This isn't a db problem, it's a VB problem. OK, in that case, VB isn't magically turning your boolean into a string, call it's .ToString method to get what you need. DaveC426913 wrote: Well, I have to change T/F to 1/0, which is what I'm doing. Query Analyzer needs a 1 or 0, not true or false ? In that case, does VB support ? : notation ? As in myBool ? 1 : 0, returns 1 if myBool is true, otherwise returns false ? DaveC426913 wrote: A thought: Should my structure have a get/set that automatically converts between T/F and 0/1? I'd try to do it inline. Or, if you used stored procedures, you can pass them a bool as a parameter, and the SP will turn it into what is needed. That's what I do, which is why I wasn't sure if SQL Server accepts true/false as bit values. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Wonder why it keeps showing up invisible then. (i.e. no errors of any sort, everything else on the page shows up fine, but the entire datalist or repeater is just not there at all.) Anyway, I followed an example at MSDN very carefully, and I've got something showing up now. ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug!

I see Visual Basic code in aspx pages in the examples. Is this not generated from the code window? Also, when I write Visual Basic in the code window, it creates HTML/ASP/VB in the HTML page. Are you saying that if I write everything in the HTML page, there will be nothing (or at least, nothing of consequence) in the codebehind file? I guess I should try this so I understand it better, it just seems like I'm throwing away many of the features of Visual Studio. Is it possible that the relationship between Visual Studio and html pages is equivalent to something like FrontPage and html pages? i.e. Frontpage is easier for designers, but it blows as far as writing clean code. I never use WYSYWIG HTML editors - I always use Homesite (which doesn't mangle code). ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug!

"What the error says is that the component isn't registered on your computer. Not as implementation nor as proxy. You need to investigate further on that." Would that be on the server wherer the service is, or on the client where the app is running? It's got to be registered somehow - it is already in use when I started developing on these boxes. ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug!

It depends what you want to do - if someone tries to add an item that has the same unique identifier, do you want to treat it as editing the current item, or ignore it ? What sort of load are you expecting this program to have ? That is, how many database calls a second do you expect ? If this were a web app, I'd have a return code from the stored proc I called to insert tell me if the item already existed, so I only made one round trip to the database, then I'd deal with telling the user based on that code.

Have you had any luck on tracking this discrepancy down? I continue to have this problem, despite a brief period where I seem to have gotten it working. ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug!
