So, why did you name your post 'PHP' ? There are multiple frameworks for a variety of reasons, and more than one survives for various reasons. IMO, ASP.NET is plainly the best, but platforms like PHP have their adherents, and even classic ASP survives, probably more because of people who refuse to upgrade their skill set than any possible advantage they could have. However, if your presentation to your boss will consist of replies you got from online forums, then either you lied to get your job, or your boss is really stretching to ask you for such a presentation.

Try This: Have a variable accessible to all subs. Dim LastControl as Control Then on each of the listboxes click event put this. LastControl = sender Then on the command button click: LastControl should equal the listbox last clicked. Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles

Be patient, you asked the exact same thing[^] just two hours previously. -- Always write code as if the maintenance programmer were an axe murderer who knows where you live.

At its most basic, a class is a template for making objects. (Like a mould makes castings, or a cookie cutter makes cookies) It defines the properties and methods for that type of object For example a class [Vehicle] might have a property for [FuelType] Instances of that class can then be created (also known as "instanciated") with different values for the FuelType.

hi, create following class in your application Public Class ListItemData Dim mstrText As String Dim mintIndex As Integer Public Sub New(ByVal Text As String, ByVal Index As Integer) mstrText = Text mintIndex = Index End Sub Public ReadOnly Property Index() As Integer Get Return mintIndex End Get End Property Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Return mstrText End Function End Class now use following code to fill listbox in your app to use above class str = "select f_id,f_name from facultylist" result = mdGlobalInstance.GetResultFromQuery(str) 'here result is dataset For i = 0 To result.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1 lstFaculty.Items.Add(New ListItemData(result.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(1), result.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(0))) Next now get selected item of list box as following dim id as integer id=CType(LstFaculty.SelectedItem, ListItemData).Index hope this helps Rupesh Kumar Swami Software Engineer, Integrated Solution, Bikaner (India) My Company

You may also set your combobox datasource to datable... and set its displaymember and valuemember.... ComboBox1.Datasource = Dataset.Table("DataTable Name") ComboBox1.ValueMember = "Field Name" -----> Hidden Value ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Field Name" -----> Visible Value

Mark Churchill wrote: your data layer that ends up restricting how you do things in the UI agreed but you can do it another way too. for example my data layer has a factory class that contains a getdataset command where I pass the datarequest command (in the form of MS SQL) , the connection as an object and the dataprovider type) there are families of classes for each dataprovider so for example I have an OracleViaWebservice family which takes the MS SQL command, converts it to oracle SQL, uses the connectio class to find identify the correct web service location and passes the request to the web service which then uses the oracle connectstring (stored in that connection class) and issues the comand aainst an oracle DB before returning the result. now all that took time but now its written Its very extendable. If I come across a new dataprovider (ie webservice to Siebel for example) I just create a new family of generic classes to handle the process and away I go. If I come across another type of dataaccess (ie instead of processing a dataset, I need to process a er DataReader - yeah I know its a reach) then I just add the procesing code for a datareader to each existing family of classes I find that the ongoing maintenance of my data layer is practically non existant now and its generic enough not to restrict my business layer.
