Serialzation only works on instance members. Shared, or static in C#, members are not part of any instance. You'll have to either save them sepearately or there are various methods of including the static members in the serialization, but they will be included in every single instance of the class you serialize. One method would be to create public "wrapper" properties for the shared members.

Thank you both... I removed the message.

check is your server configured for remote connections and is it working locally or not and did you mentioned your dynamic port try this with odbc --> client configurations and assign port number to 1433 and check Best Of Regards, SOFTDEV If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it

Found the solution: <bindable(false), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never), Browsable(False)> _ Public Shadows Property GridType() As GridTypes Get End Get Set(ByVal value As GridTypes) End Set End Property

OK. If you're using ReadLine to read the file, you won't get the LF character at the end of each line in the resulting string. ReadLine will strip the line termination characters for you. So, you simply have to add one to the character count of each line you read when you go to find each keyword. If you have a mix of file types, then you'll have to find out what the line termination characters are. Simply read the beginning of the file, character-by-character until you find either character 10 or 13, then check value of the next character to see if it is the opposite, 13 or 10, or if neither. This will tell you if the line termination is either CrLf, LfCr, or just Cr or Lf. You can adjust your character count accordingly.

Thank you! This looks so fine!

Oh This didn't cover what I needed! Thanks anyway!

The only caveat you need to remember is that the datatable select consumes quite a bit of memory as it has to go through every record in the table. Be sure to set a primary key column and index if possible. Aaron _____________________________________________________________________ Our developers never release code.

You usually get that error when you have an object that is null and you are treating it like it is not null. I would suggest pressing F10 to step into your app. This should take you to the first line of the code. Keep pressing F10 until you find the object that is not set. Once you have found the object hopefully you will know what to do. If not respond back with what you find. Hope that helps. Ben

Solved! Thanks to This great article!

OH I finally figured out!!! The dll had to be called from a vb6 application (the hell with that!) X| In declarations, there was a missing ByVal statement, which caused address value of i to be sent instead of its value. Thanks all you folks for your attention which helped me figure this out, by checking other possibilities! :-D :rose:
