Since you haven't said anything about the number of servers you want to virtualize, what type of servers they are, what those servers are responsible for, what their average and peak loads are, storage requirements for data, future plans for the next 5 years, what expansion capabilities you want, ...yada, yada, yada ... noone can give you any kind of information that would be of any use.

DS = DAL.Get_Data_BE(txtCcNo.Text) n = DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count Do Until n <= 0 i = i + 1 contItemName = DS.Tables(0).Rows(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count() - i).Item("ITEM_NAME") contPCode = DS.Tables(0).Rows(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count() - i).Item("P_CODE") DS = DAL.Get_Level_BE(contPCode) j = DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count k = 0 Do Until j <= 0 k = k + 1 PrimCont = DS.Tables(0).Rows(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count() - k).Item("PRIM_KEY") DSL = DAL.Get_ItemName_BE(PrimCont) ItemCont = DSL.Tables(0).Rows(DS.Tables(0).Rows.Count() = 0).Item("ITEM_NAME") ItemRepeater.DataSource = DS j = j - 1 Loop DS = DAL.Get_Data_BE(txtCcNo.Text) ItemRepeater.DataBind() n = n - 1 Loop Here's the code.

The whole point of a repeater is that you define a single template, then bind to a data source, and it takes care of that. If your data is heirarchical, then you need to nest repeaters and create a data source that presents the data in a logical way. However, this question is pretty much totally unrelated to what you asked inthe first instance. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

ohh.. thanks for d reply. And about the textbox1 in the code. I'm just testing the code that I've used and didn't bother to change the ID of the textbox. But thanks for the advice though. Happy Holiday :) .

Dave Kreskowiak wrote: It's much easier to do it with a control that was designed for it from the start than to hack it together. True. I actually started to make my own custom grid control (based on the standerd gridview ofcourse), I didn't get far. I'v been using the devexpress controls for olmost a year now and I have to say there very easy to use (once you understand how they work) and very extended, I fear I'v only scratched the surfice.

HI... I think you had put that code in form load only... You have to put the same code in SelectedIndexChanged event of Dropdownlist also. In dpListCombo_SelectedIndexChanged LBlSelectName.text = dpListCombo.text

It does sound like your tnsnames.ora file is not configured correctly. Can you connect to the DB via tools such as SQL Tool or Toad. They can utilise the TNSNames file settings to connect to the relevant DB, as least with this way you can establish if the tns.ora file at fault or not. You can also try manually connecting to the DB using these tool to validate any credentials etc.. Other options are to check the listeners are configured correctly and will accept connections Hope these ideas help Rich

Like I already said, that's up to the video capture library that you're using. It has to give you the options to compress the video. If it doesn't, you'll have to use a different library that does, such as Microsoft's Media Encoder 9 SDK.

You need a 3rd party library to directly control the hardware, something akin to a device driver. You can find one such library and some example code here[^] and here[^]. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007

Hi, IIRC the pins DTR and RTS are output pins on the PC's serial port. They are controlled by the properties SerialPort.DtrEnable and SerialPort.RtsEnable. RS232C pins carry a DC voltage, anywhere in the range (-15V,+15V). They are capable of sourcing/sinking some 10 mA and not suited for larger currents, larger voltages, or direct connection to devices that are powered by the AC mains. If your door lock is powered by 220V AC mains directly, you will need galvanic isolation (you can't connect mains to your PC!); it also will need more than 10mA so you need some switching device, either a transistor/thyristor/triac or a relay, and probably both. It somewhat depends on the specs of the lock (see documentation!), and the distance between PC and lock. [ADDED] Instead of a transistor you could use an opto-coupler, which together with a relay would be able to control almost anything; the transmitter side of the opto-coupler would very much ressemble an LED, making your initial LED experiment much more relevant.[/ADDED] :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Happy 2008! modified on Friday, January 04, 2008 7:40:49 AM

Have you considered looking at this[^] article to get an understanding on evaluating formulae in a textbox. I know it's in C#, but using a tool like Reflector it's relatively simple to revert the IL into VB.NET. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. My blog | My articles

ok. thanks a lot.

Is there an article coming out of this? If not, then you've picked the wrong forum. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
