Hi,
In my vb.net editor, when I type a double number like 6.35, it automatically is converted to 6.3499999999999996 when I leave the line I am typing.
Can anyone tell me why it happens and how to avoid it?
Thanks in advance,
Vinicius

This is because of how numbers are stored internally by the system. There's no way to avoid it. Although, I'm not seeing the problem you're describing using Single or Double types. Can we see the code this is happening in?

The code is simple:
<br />
Dim myVar as double<br />
myVar = 6.35<br />
after typing 6.35, the editor changes it to
<br />
Dim myVar as double<br />
myVar = 6.3499999999999996<br />
I understand it can be stored like that internally. What I don't understand is why in some projects it doesn't happen.
Another problem I see is that if I try to use the "Text Find" resource in my project, to find a string like 6.35 I will never locate it, so why couldn't the editor leave my numbers exactlly as they are typed?
The program I'm writing is working perfect, although these editor's changes, but it doesn't make me happy.

I found out that if the number has only one dacimal value, nothing changes:
<br />
Dim myVar as double<br />
myVar = 6.3<br />
So, again, why?

do you save the values as strings ?
just a Q.

I coudln't tell you what's causing it or how to "fix" it because I've never run into the problem. There's no mention of it in the MS Knowledge Base, that I could find anyway.
Have you installed SP1[^] for .NET 1.1?

Problem
Keep data about customers, accounts and managers on a access database
Customers are identified by a unique 8 character identifier
Table Customers
customerID char(8) (key field)
customerSurname varchar
customerForeNames varchar
customers can have lots of accounts. Accounts are identified by a automatically generated integer. Each account has a pin of exactly 4 digits. There is also a field called blocked whose value determines weather or not a customer can perform transaction on that account. A value of 1 means that the account is blocked.
Table Accounts
accountID int (key field)
customerID char(8)
balance money
blocked bit (default value 0 for false)
PIN char(4)
Information on bank workers stored in another table
Table managers
managerID char(8)
password char(10)
program should allow managers to log in by entering managerID and matching password. If login successful new screen that allows him/her to add new customers, accounts for existing customers and block accounts.
Form that simulates a cash dispenser. A customer should be able to enter accountID and associated PIN via a numeric keypad. Program must check to see if the account is valid and the accounted and PIN match. If allowed the customer should be presented with a form that allows him/her to check their balance, make a withdrawal or change PIN. If accountID is invalid customer should be informed of a error message. If the accountID is valid and the PIN does not match the customer get another 2 attempts but if the PIN is incorrect after the 3 attempts the account is blocked.
any advice, help or code would be really apreciated
cheers

First off, this is a homework assignment. Your supposed to be doing the work yourself and as such, noone here will write the code for you.
Next, what are you having a problem with? We need a specific problem your having...

Go to the Projects properties, in application settings you will find an option as to whether you want the program close when first form closes or last form closes, set that to when last form closes.
In code:
Dim F2 as new system.windows.forms
F2.Size.X = 200 ' or whatever you want
F2.Size.Y = 200 ' or whatever you want
' other form properties
controls.add(F2)
me.close
It is important to add the form to the controls so that the framework can register it and work with it.

even there is no option in project property that you are saying.
i want splash screen which one display for 5 seconds at the start up of the project and then close and open the login form after closing itself.

All you have to do is search the Articles for "splash screen" and you'll find plenty of examples. See the "Search bar" just below the green menu bar?? That's where you'll find your answer.

What do you mean by "not working"? Do you get any exceptions? I have a suspicion that your not loading the picture correctly. You might want to try this:
Dim newImage As New Bitmap(dlgopen.FileName)
pb1.Image = newImage

If you don't have control of the server, you can't. You have to wait for the session to timeout. If you do have control of the server, go into it's Management console and clear the connection in there. How you do that depends entirely on your mail server, so noone can tell you exactly how to do it.
Can you do this programmatically? No...
