I could be wrong, but I think that your answer will only count the number of rows in a datagrid. By running total, I mean total the value of a cell based on a value of another cell(column) in the row. silver-gray

what I'm trying to do is programmatically select all cells in the 4th column that comtain nulls, and change the backcolor to red. I have vb.net 2003. silver-gray

Calm down, no need for caps - I'm trying to help you here :) I coded this, and it worked as you requested. For Each dgvc As DataGridViewColumn In dgvTableList.Columns If dgvc.HeaderText = "name" Then dgvc.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells ElseIf dgvc.HeaderText = "crdate" Then dgvc.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.Fill dgvc.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Aquamarine Else dgvc.Visible = False End If Next If that code doesn't work for you, I'm unable to help you any further as I have no experience with .NET prior to the 2.0 Framework.

By 'anchoring' I mean the use of the anchor properties of controls placed on a form to allow them to attach to one area and then stretch in another direction when the form gets re-sized. Works OK for basic stuff but complicated forms can cause issues. By 'code' I mean capturing the current size of the form in the appropriate events and then manually resizing the controls using pure code. Lots of work and very hard to get right. It also tends to result in very 'brittle' code when you need to make changes in the design latter on. By 'Layout Panels' I mean placing a layout panel on the form and then allowing that to adjust the size of container controls. Good luck, and run a search or two in Google to get the rest. Sorry for being sketchy here, but this is one area where I could go done a slippery slope and end up writing code that I don't care to right for you. This is a 'give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish' thing. Hope you understand. My Blog[^] FFRF[^]

Thank you. Now I understand Thanks :laugh: silver-gray

Each PC will run its own instance/instances of the app. It's up to you as the developer to provide the app the ability to communicate with the database on the server. Using Access as a database is a real pain (and it's also limited to a 2GB file size), and as such I'd recommend using SQL Server. Also, ADO.NET uses a disconnected data object model in that the app does not persist any connection to the database - it connects, retrieves data & disconnects. This allows your apps to be far more scalable however, concurrency of records then becomes an issue. Learning ADO.NET[^] Introduction to Data Concurrency in ADO.NET[^]

There is no support for this built into the ListBox control, so you'd either have to find a replacement control that supports this, or create your own ListBox control and ownerdraw the ListBox to get this effect. Since you'd have to supply the Fore/BackColor's for the even and odd rows, you'd probably want to start by creating your own ListBox class so you can expose these properties. You can Google for "ownerdraw listbox vb[^] for examples. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

http://www.dotnetspider.com/kb/Article552.aspx[^] Follow the link, it has an example on finding difference between date/time. Convert to vb.net (pretty much the same without ";") and you should be sorted. There is life outside coding!

Try it out. This code will read a file and will put file's contents into a string Dim reader As StreamReader = File.OpenText("c:\myfile.txt") Dim line As String = reader.ReadToEnd Manish

That didn't work. I guess I will have to use a listbox. I can get data inti it. Now trying to select data out of it and write a new file with a different name. Silver-grey silver-gray
