can you explain some more what exactly you wanted to do ?

to add items you just need to call ListView1.Items.Add("aa" ,0) to add an item called "aa" with icon index of 0 the index of the icons is found from an ImageList control that you have to add and insert images into. after adding the ImageList, you have to specify the Me.ListView1.LargeImageList = Me.ImageList1 to define the large images of the items and then change the image size in the ImageList to 32,32. by default, the ListView control displays LargeIcons (after setting up the steps before) but just in case you have to specify the propoprty ListView1.View = View.LargeIcon hope this helps you..

All you have to do is open the table, read each record one at a time, then write each field value out in the format you want. It's usually done by seperating the fields with commas and enclsing strings in quote marks, or some other delimitter.

What tool are you using to create the setup program?

You can, sure. You can store the date the program is first run, and every time you run the program, load that date, and check how many days ago it was. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

How are you deploying ? I tend to write a little C++ app to run my MSI, install .NET and any other drivers I may need. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

try this: Function Encrypt(ByVal strval$, ByVal blndec As Boolean) As String Dim str, str1, str2, str3, str4 As String Dim int1, int2, int3 As Integer str1 = strval$ int1 = Len(str1) int2 = 1 Do While int2 <> (int1 + 1) str2 = Mid(str1, int2, 1) If blndec = True Then int3 = Asc(str2) + 3 'Decrypt Else int3 = Asc(str2) - 3 'Encrypt End If str3 = Chr(int3) str4 = str4 & str3 int2 = int2 + 1 Loop Encrypt = str4 End Function geboy

yes you can jest set the openmethod equals to zero. your data will be print directly to the printer. geboy

WMI... Alway's slow but.. somthing like this.. Imports System.Management Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim ConfigNamespace As String = "\\.\root\cimv2" Dim query As String = "select * from Win32_Processor" Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(ConfigNamespace, query) Dim collection As ManagementObjectCollection = searcher.Get For Each item As ManagementObject In collection For Each prop As PropertyData In item.Properties Try Console.WriteLine(prop.Name + ":" + prop.Value.ToString) Catch gExVar As Exception End Try Next Next End Sub

If your application is written dependant on an SQL Server backend, you'll still need an instance of SQL Server running somewhere, either one on the client PC or one on another server. On the local machine, you can install the desktop version of SQL Server. For SQL Server 2000 it's called MS Desktop Engine, or MSDE[^]. For SQL Server 2005, its called SQL Server Express[^].

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but have you heard of the Micrsofoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE)? Steve

You can use FOR XML clause to retrieve result in XML format. For example: SELECT TOP 10 * FROM sysobjects FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS But I don't know if it is possible to write this result straight to a file.

In VS 2005 use the publish option. This will create an install app on either a server or a path that you might want to cut to a CD. Part of the Prerequisites under the publish setup screen is to include .Net 2.0. If you leave this checked when you publish it will help when the client goes to install the app. When they install it from your CD or server, if .NET 2.0 framework doesn't exist, it will automatically install it. Hope this helps :) Lost in the vast sea of .NET
