I have written a very simple vb.net app to look at some properties in an msi file. Whenever I execute the msiInstall = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer") statement I get the error: Cannot create ActiveX component. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Windows Installer module and msi.dll is definately registered on my system. I have declared the msi object using Dim msiInstall As WindowsInstaller.Installer.
When I run the same bit of code in VBScript I do not get this error so it must be something in my VS 2003 configuration.
This is the complete error with details when I compile and run the exe:

Hi,
i want to create a multiple datasets and bind it seperately. the query will look like
select * from table where id=ID
now,
if id = 1,
i want to generate dataset1 just for records with id=1 and
if id = 2,
i want to generate dataset2 just for records with id=2 and so forth

I am creating a simple form that requires additional information before being displayed.
What I want to do:
Override ShowDialog(owner) with ShowDialog(owner, string0, string1) As DialogResult
That part is easy.
What I want to do is prevent the use of ShowDialog() and ShowDialog(owner).
Naturally, there are many ways to accomplish what I am trying to do, but I really want to know If I can do this. Is there a way to override these methods (or some other way) so that thay may not be called on my custom dialog?
Thanks

Guess I didn't pound my keyboard long enough. Kept looking and I found it. Use "shadows" instead of "overrides" and it does exactly what I wanted.

I use DB2 under AS/400 and the “SLTFORMULARIO_MG” stored procedure really exists.
Ok... because we don’t have that much time to spend, I tried another solution. I did remove the link between the stored procedure and the RPT file and so, I did set up one xml datasouce. So, I putted the stored procedure returns into a dataset and did use as:
<br />
oRpt = New ReportDocument<br />
oRpt.Load(_sFileRPT)<br />
<br />
oRpt.SetDataSource(_dtDados)<br />
Ok, the code ran nice and quickly, but because I can go to heave straightway. I still have a problem when using formulae to perform calculation. I got this damn error:
MENSAGEM DE ERRO:
A number, or currency amount is required here.
Error in File C:\DOCUME~1\BRRIOW~1\ASPNET\LOCALS~1\Temp\PEDIDO_SA {8885AC00-192E-4A1D-9E2A-A38289AEA818}.rpt:
Error in formula <UNITxVALOR>.
' ({SLTFORMULARIO_SA.PRECO_UNIT}) * {SLTFORMULARIO_SA.QTD_PEDIDA} '
A number, or currency amount is required here.
STACK TRACE:
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
Right, Right, I did many tests and when I changed the code from:
({SLTFORMULARIO_SA.PRECO_UNIT}) * {SLTFORMULARIO_SA.QTD_PEDIDA}
To:
({SLTFORMULARIO_SA.PRECO_UNIT}) + {SLTFORMULARIO_SA.QTD_PEDIDA}
It was fine, except from the fact that it was catenated instead of added.
Anyone could, please, help me up?

I am attempting for the first time to link Crystal reports with VB.Net and having a wee bit of trouble. I have provided some code I have done but for some reason it is not recognising....
Dim cr As New ReportDocument
What reference have I missed out and what is the best way to do such a thing. Any help, ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Dim DA As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim DS As New DataSet
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = ""
strSQL = "SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName FROM EMPLOYEES"
DA.Fill(DS, "Employees")
'Verify the path to the Crystal Report's .RPT file
Dim strReportPath As String = "C:\Temp\crystalreport1.rpt"
'Load the Crystal report's .rpt file and pass in the data table
Dim cr As New ReportDocument
cr.Load(strReportPath)
cr.Setdatasources(DS.Tables("Employees")

Using the MAPI control to send email with outlook is easy enough to set up, but whatever you send as body text gets sent as-is. I am trying to get HTML to work in the messages i send, but it seems outlook will paste the message into the text section, and will not update the source section. As i am attempting to make a program for easy email generation for a email based game, i need some way for it to generate the email with the html in-tact. does anyone know any way of doing this.. there is a MsgType command, i beleve, but VB does not show a list of what can be typed after it to modify it, where it is just a control.

How do I make a program that search through a site(like http://www.codeproject.com) and if a word is on that site it displays a messagebox(if the word new is in line 6 of http://www.codeproject.com the script msgbox ("There is something new!!!" , , "NEW") comes)
Thanks

For searching text , you can use Microsoft Index Server .Using it in code will return the pages in site where a particular word exists . But i m not sure if it can return line number . But after getting list of documents in search , perhaps a function can be writeen to find line numbers in those pages

the easiest way to do is download google toolbar. or you can use word object and use spell checker component. well honestly i was in process of using word spell checker but i had lil trouble and thought why not use google tool bar instead of wasting time on figuring out why it didnt work.

I'm trying to create a logon script that copies three icons from network drives and then places them on the suers desktop on logon. I can copy the icons fine as administrator, but under anyone elses logon name, i get access denied errors becuase only administrator has write control to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop folder.
What Im trying to do is get the username inserted into the filepath by the script. somethig like this:
'Creating a shell object to launch applications<br />
Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")<br />
<br />
'Creating a network object to gather AD Username Data<br />
Set objNet = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork") <br />
<br />
<br />
user = objNet.UserName<br />
ComputerName = objNet.ComputerName<br />
<br />
'Mapping Network Drives<br />
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")<br />
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "P:" , "\\corp-fs1\apps"<br />
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "M:" , "\\corp-fs1\data"<br />
<br />
'Copying Prodent, Lsap, IntelMS<br />
strFilePath = "P:\prodent\apps\public\prodent\shortcut to prodent.lnk"<br />
strDestination =("C:\Documents and Settings\" & user & "\Desktop\")<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Set objFileCopy = objFSO.GetFile(strFilePath)<br />
' Copy the file to its destination<br />
objFileCopy.Copy (strDestination)
I need strDestination to = C:\Documents and Settings\ *username*\desktop
Any ideas on how to do this?

Just inserting the user's ID into the path is an unreliable method to generate the CORRECT path. Occasionally, Windows can switch the user's profile folder, creating a new one with a different name.
Get the value of the USERPROFILE environment variable, then append the path you want to that:
Dim WshShell, Path
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Path = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%")
Path = Path & "\Desktop"

I have taken two windows application forms. i want the values of Sub1,Sub2,Result textboxes to be inserted automatically into the related textboxes of the other form, as soon as i click the redirect button in form1?
|
|
|
|
|
use
shared s1 as string
and then in form2_load
sub1.Text=objForm1.s1
Note:
objForm1 should be Globally visible inorder to access it in form2's object
or
You can declare
shared objForm1 as New Form1()

I am trying to drag a metafile (.wmf) from eg. ms word into a vb 2005 app. When it is dropped on a diagramming control, I want to set the image of an object I create to the dropped image.
The dropped object has loads of DataFormats available, this works fine:
Dim bm As Bitmap = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap)
but now the image is a bitmap, no longer a vector graphic.
'Getting' a MetafilePict object somehow always returns a MemoryStream object, so I thought I had it cracked by using:
Dim ms As IO.Stream
ms = e.Data.GetData("MetafilePict", True)
Dim img As Image = Imaging.Metafile.FromStream(ms, True, True)
But this just generates an 'Invalid Parameter' error. Any ideas here would be much appreciated

private void InitializeComponent()<br />
{<br />
this.load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);<br />
this.dgRegion.ItemCreated += new DataGridItemEventHandler(dgRegion_ItemCreated);<br />

}
Thanks in advance,
