Of course it makes a difference. Not to the original developer, not to the compiler, but when communicated between developers, particularly inexperienced ones. I'm well aware that I take the minority view on this and many other things, but I'm not the only one. Others [weasel words] have the same and other concerns. I do write an occasional extension method (see my recent "Untabify and Tabify"[^] article), but I try to make it clear that extension methods are in use.

No, there isn't. The VB.NET IDE does not support automatically add Namespace statements at any time. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007

Hi, when the caret is present, you can make the line containing it visible with TextBoxBase.ScrollToCaret() :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] this weeks tips: - make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/... - show exceptions with ToString() to see all information - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

Never, never apply Console.WriteLine on a suspicious variable. You might find the cause of a problem... Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

The designer will not know this happened and hence, won't regenerate the code you're talking about. You either have to scrap your existing dataset and drag the table to the desginer again, or you have to modify the designer generated code by hand to add this field and all the support for it.

If the contents of the panel fit within the width of the panel then the horizontal scrollbar shouldn't appear. I just tested this out of curiosity. Are you sure the contents aren't being clipped horizontally? Perhaps an overhanging label? Otherwise you could expand the panel until all contents fit. I'm largely language agnostic After a while they all bug me :doh:

Go to Tools->Import and Export Settings, and you will see a Reset all Settings option. Click next etc. and after saving your current settings or not, click next again and you get to choose which settings to set.

Tip: "didnt work" is not a very good problem description. ;) Use it like this: Label1.text = value.ToString("N2") or like this: Label1.text = String.Format("{0:N2}", value) --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

I dont have the code right now but here is the suggestion for Googling. You cannot look at the length of the string itself you must look at the total character length of the values and keep the widest value and set that width value to the width of the combobox but add a little extra to include the width of the drop down arrow.

Hi Mark You can use regular expressions as far as i know to do what you want or you could use a masked textbox in .Net 2.0. However to do what you want you need to you use the keypress event of a textbox and ignore character you dont want to allow by setting e.handled = true. Private Sub txtText1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtText1.KeyPress 'If the key pressed is ' or " or any type of punctuation mark then do not allow If e.KeyChar.IsPunctuation(e.KeyChar) Then e.Handled = True End If End Sub 'This will ignore a backslash If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Chr(Keys.OemBackslash) Then e.Handled = True End If Hope this Helps Keith

if you want to look at the manifest and stuff you can use ildasm.exe. You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. - Dave Barry

Hi, have a look at the Registry class and the RegistryKey class espcially its GetSubKeyNames function. Robert

No, in designer. Literally just opening a form in designer mode, changing the size in the properties window. Saving and closing. When I reopen it, the size has reverted back.

Mark, Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198571[^] The article is for Access 2000, but the code would be very similar. (Without the Set statements of course.) objExcel.Application.Run("atpvbaen.xla!lcm", 5, 2) Dave
