This is something, now we are crying about outsourcing. A couple of weeks past, I was incensed because my teacher told me his class was a weeding out class. I paid good hard earned cash to take a class and silly me I was expecting to be taught. He wasn’t there to teach but to weed out students that were looking in to becoming programmers. The number of responses that didn’t get it dismayed me. You who thought that it was acceptable to weed out instead of teaching will pay piper in the future, when you have to get a passport so you can go to work. Just to inform some of you, I got the only A. :laugh::laugh::laugh: X|

I have went back to school, now after a few decades and decided to start at the bottom so to speak with the college entry level programming class. I have had several conversations with the instructor and his statement "I am hear to weed out wantabe programmers". Am I so far behind the times that this makes no sense to me at all. Has anyone else seen this attitude out there? :-D

I want to use a button to change to another form, how do you call the other form? :-D

Need some direction; through vb.net can you use DDE links directly? I know that they are used in Excel. Where can I go to get information on working with FIX/API? Can you use Active-X controls in vb.net? Just a web site or book. Thank You :-D

I really wish that people would bury the word terrorism, and call it what it really is, a coward’s way of conducting a war. Stand up and be counted, don’t hide behind a mask. :)

In VS go to the left side drop down, select the text box, right side declarations, choose validating and this is how the code could look like. private Sub txtMiles_ Validationg(byval sender as object, _ by val e as System.ComponetModel.CancelEventArgs)_ Handels txtMiles.Validating Try Dim decMiles as Decimal = Convert.ToDecimal(txtMiles.Text) ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtMiles, ex.Message) Catch ex as Exception ErrorProvider1.Seterror(txtMiles, ex.Message) End Try End Sub If there were no God, there would be no Atheists. :-D

Can someone send me to where I can find out more about this package. I want to intergrate or take care of the front end business needs with MS Office, the accounting needs with this then work on the rest witb vb or "c#". :laugh:

That wasn't useless my friend! :-D

Do you know how you can tell if an elephant is in the refrigerator? :-D

What if you take the remainder after subtracting the units, first div by 2 and check, then 3 and check. With what you have avaiable all you have to make up is a half inch. Just a thought, it's been running around back there all night. :-D

Go into the properties, under behaviors and you will find TabIndex, this gives you the order in which the buttons or anything on the screen that you can inter act with, the order in which the item is given focuse, if you want to move from one imput to the next, hope this helps. :-D

To a certin degree you are correct, yet being a student and with entry level capability I would like to see the code, just to be able to store it in my memory to use at a future date.:-D

It doesn't work without the net.framework. It shouldn't be a problem, it's a free download.

I have the source code of a vb program. What is the best way to convert or rewrite the code into vb.net?

Spring time in the Rockies, it's 4' of snow this week, followed by shortages of suntan oil the next! :-D

Quick and dirty way of reversing a string, any ideas?

This is not to add fuel to the fire, but it is good for me to hear that someone else thinks that C# and VB.Net are interchangable. My thought is that VB is so underrated and the main reason that people drift towards C# is because they have come from the C, C++ camps.
