"modify the configuration file(s) of the app." I want this to be done in a GUI which is I thought It would be better if I can access the "Data Link Properties" GUI, from which I can select the Provider and the Data Source and save it to a file (might be .INI file or .XML file), so I don't have to edit the configuration file (app.config) file during deployment, which is also risky if you let somebody do the deployment because he might modify accidentally the other elements.

I want to access the "Data Link Property Layer" during runtime so that i could create a connection during deployment without editing the connection string value which is saved in a text file (which I usually do). Anybody has an idea on how will i access Data Link Property and display it during run time?

How do u store it programmatically, I am using VB 6.0 / .Net for example? :doh:

thanks i'll look into it

If .Text <> "##/##/####" Then Replace this with: if IsDate(.Text) then

I don't get it, anyway, .Net has already included the RichTextBox component to its library, why don't use it. I don't like using external programs (as much as possible)especially if I can create my own. Anyway that me :)

I hope it helps

Anybody has an idea on how I can secure the image the so that nobody can open, view and alter it even if it is transfered from one media to another.

I set all IDE windows to auto hide (Toolbar, Project Explorer, etc. including properties window) at first it seems Ok, the properties window when clicked it appears then when the focus is lost it hides. After about few minutes of working (properties window hidden) when I clicked on the properties tab, it does not display, I have to exit the IDE so that It works normally again. Anybody has experienced this? :doh:

Have u tried Visual C++?

DataGrid has to be bound to a DataSource before you can add and remove a row. Adding and removing of row has to be done in a recordset. Well I used VB6.0 and I used datagrid if I want to display the entire contents of a table. I the it does not require to be linked to a Datasource I use MSFlexGrid instead. I haven't explored it from VB.Net yet. Hope this helps

Dim dlg As New OpenFileDialog() dlg.ShowDialog()

there is no way that u can do it in DataGrid as far as i know. . . u can try MS FlexGrid

How does it interface with PC? is it RS232? or does it have additional peripheral like PCI Interface cards? . . . . In that case, I think you should be contacting the "Barcode Scanner Vendor" regarding the drivers or commands you will use to communicate with the machine. If it is via RS232, try it with "Microsoft Comm Control", but still u need to know the commands you will be sending to the machine. Hope it helps.

"Date" is a VB reserved word, don't take it a habit of using reserved words, however u can still use it as a DB fieldm enclose it with "[]" MyOledbCommand.CommandText = "Insert Into Messages " _ & "(firstname,lastname,username,password,[date]) " _ & "Values (" & "'" & String2 & "', " & "'" & String3 & "', " & "'" & String4 & "', " & "'" & String5 & "')" good luck ;)

If you are using scanner with keyboard interface, its just as simple as typing from a keyboard. Use notepad, scan a barcode, the data read will be displayed in the notepad. Hope it helps :->
