I was sure it was simple, but is soooo simple that I'm feeling embarrased :doh: Regards, Diego F.

Well, as I tested, the problem is having as a nested element inside and inside I can't change the file structure. Can you tell me other way to do that? Regards, Diego F.

Hi Diego, Although I'm not 100% sure of how to do it, hopefully this puts you in the right direction. A service can only be started or stoped by the OS (for what I understand anyways...). So to stop it you either have to use the Services management snap-in in Win2k / XP etc or the NET command from the command prompt. Stopping it from your code is probably going to be easier from the latter... NET Stop Hope this helps!

If think if you are migrating backwards you will find a lot of things that didn't exist in the previous version. The best workaround that I can suggest is that all DataReaders implement the IDataReader interface. Create your own class that implements the IDataReader interface that has a constructor that is a DataSet.

You can set the amount of time the webservice will work before sending back an error by setting the executionTimeout attribute in the web.config. Just like you would for a website, like this: <httpRuntime executionTimeout="180"/> Then you can put your call to the webservice in a try catch block. The timeout error is a System.Net.WebException. You may want to make sure the message includes the correct error message, though, since there are other System.Net.WebExceptions that could fire. So it would look something like this: Try myWebService.MyWebServiceMethod(parm1) Catch ex as System.Net.WebException If ex.Message.ToUpper.Contains("TIMED OUT") Then msgbox("Web service method timed out.") Else msgbox("Web error: " & ex.Message) End If Catch ex as Exception msgbox("Error: " & ex.Message) End Try

Using select controls for that doesn't really seem to make an intuitive interface. I would suggest that you just make two radio buttons which represent the A,B and B,A options. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

Could you try that basic sample so I see what is the result? First create that table: CREATE TABLE TB_TEST ( ID NUMBER(2, 0) NOT NULL, DATEFIELD DATE , CONSTRAINT TB_TEST_PK PRIMARY KEY ( ID ) ) Now, I insert a register: insert into tb_test values (1, sysdate) commit; And then, the select query: select (sysdate-datefield) from tb_test where id=1 What is the result?

Diego F. wrote: String.Format("80", "000") returns "80" That's because you are specifying a format string without any formatting what so ever. String.Format("80", "fubar") also returns "80". What you want is: 80.ToString("000") or String.Format("{0:000}", 80) --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

Ok, I did change it. Thank you for your advise. Regards, Diego F.

This would answer the question in my previous reply. Those spaces are NOT spaces. The space character you specified is ASCII character 32. The character you supplied in this post is ASCII character 0. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007

Ok, it has to be the server. I can connect and disconnect to that IP as many times as I want. My server is VB6 code. Regards, Diego F.

You create a method on your form that sets whatever you need on the Timer control. You can check the InvokeRequired of the form instead of the Timer control. Since the form's based Timer works on the UI thread, the Form is on the same UI thread and will tell you if InvokeRequired. You Invoke the method you write from your other thread...

Something like this should work: timer.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(timer.Start)); Robert

You might be getting the cross-thread exception. try this // UI class functions public void UpdateMenus() { if (this.InvokeRequired) { this.Invoke(new UpdateMenusDelegate(UpdateMenus), new object[] { sender, e }); return; } // continue with your code }
