That's because there is no difference! The $ functions are identical to the non-$ versions. The $ are preserved for backwards compatibility to previous versions of VB and older BASIC language standards.

Dave,
My understanding of the $ sign is telling VB that you know that want a string returned. If you leave the $ sign off, VB has to evaluate what datatype it needs to convert it to when placing it in the variable(or whatever) that will hold the value. If your wrong and the variable is not type of string VB will convert it appropriately for you(if possible) but if your right it doesn't have to do an implicit conversion.

Not quite. Chr returns a string, period. There is no evaluation of the return value or implicit conversions by the function There is no difference between Chr and Chr$. The dollar sign is just a hold over form the old days of BASIC.
Wanna see? Chr docs[^]...Left docs[^]

Thnks Dave
I do have studied BBC BASIC Language and was somewhat sure that it might be used for compatibility
Once more Thnks

Hello
I have a combo box with a list of clients. I need to do search on the the PK to get the details of the client. This worked fine, however the customer wants the combo box to be in sorted order. So i set the property for the combo box to sorted. Now that I have done that the client names are in order but do not corrspond to the value member. In the database the clientID is indentity incremented integer.
<br />
Me.cboClients.DataSource = ds1.Tables(0).DefaultView<br />
<br />
Me.cboClients.DisplayMember = "Name"<br />
Me.cboClients.ValueMember = "ClientID"<br />
in the selectionchangedcommitted event i have this
<br />
client = Me.cboClients.SelectedValue()<br />
'calls procedures to search for client's details<br />
Is there an easy way to get a PK value form a client that is selected from the combo box. I can't search for the client name, as some clients have the same name. Not unique.
Many thanks in advance,
Steve

I don't remember ever having this problem, but the worksaround is easy enough.
If the customer wants the combobox sorted, just have the SQL sort the data when it's retrieved from the database. Then you can bind your ComboBox to a pre-sorted list and not worry about the ComboBox doing it.

Thanks for your help.
This is the solution
SELECT * FROM Clients
ORDER BY Name ASC

Simple question;
Where is the selection rectangle? How do i select multiple controls while designing a web page using VB.NET 2005?
Do i have to hold control and click every single control on my form?

That's what I usually do.

Hi,
How can i draw a string on a picturebox and let the user define the location of the text? Cuz im trying to make a program to create covers for cd's but if the user can't define the location of the text the program is pretty useless  Any ideas, anyone?

You need to ditch the picturebox, it's just for newbies to show pictures with. Draw your bitmap in the paint event of your form. Then, you can draw a string on top of it, where-ever you like.

I have a small application that I've wrote to track company assets and I have a few employees that have troubles seeing the screen. We've increased the DPI setting: to 120dpi from 96dpi. My anchors and docking attributes are set and I'm still having a deformed application. Has anyone run into this problem or have any suggestions on a resolution.
Thanks.

I have created a program in Excel that makes a set of tournament brackets for head to head competition. I've created and recorded the necissary Macros to get the functionality that I wish to implement. However when I try to create the Form for the user to select the options for the brackets, I continue to receive errors related to the frames on the form, but it doesn't allow me to remove them. What I would like to do is transfer this project to VB.Net and only use Excel as the bracket visual/print out. In my dealings with VB6, I remember being able to draw lines and shapes on the Forms as well as being able to print the Forms. However, I've been unable to find this utility in VB.Net. If I can find this function, I would consider ditching Excel all together. I am using VS'03 for my .Net development. Any suggestions?

hi friends,
is it possible to change the query at runtime from visual basic to show the crystal report?
I know only to replace the parameter.But how can I call the report with new sql statement ?
I tried with control.sqlquery but not working.
|
|
|
|
|
hi,
1. yes its possible to change the query at runtime.
2. cryrpt.SqlQuery
3. try checking the fields in the report and fields you give in the sqlquery, both should match.
hope this works
Nitin...

what do you mean by its possible??
you have a dataset fill it bu the query you want, btw the you can the crystal report all of it by run time you can let the user select the grouping field and the fields to appear and the sorting on any field the user want,
you have to search more for your question it seems to me that this this the first time you use the crystal report,
search on the net to find how we can use the crystal reports
Regards
