Hi ALl
I am trying to convert some code from C++ to VB.NET 2005.
The data type in C++ is an "index", in Pascal it is a "record".
What is it in VB.NET? 
Regards
Instamatix

There is NO 'index' datatype in C++.

Hi Christian
Thanks for that.
No wonder I was having so much trouble trying to find it.
I will have to search through the rest of the code.
It must have been setup as a user defined data type somewhere.

Hi
I want to email someone my app, and have created a standard Setup.exe from VS2005. I also included that the setup check the Framwork (Prereqisites) and includes Dotnetfx.exe (Which is 22MB). I want to include this so since I'm not sure they wil be able to update to Dot Net Framework 2 from the web. Is there a way of splitting the installation files into smaller sets of files so that I can mail them (*.cab files??)
Cheers
Richard

You can put all your files into a ZIP file. Then Google for "file splitter[^]" and you'll find a bunch of utilities to split the file into any size chunks you want. You'll have to send both the splitter utility, so the client can put the file back together!, and the individual file segments.

Thanks Dave - I take it then that there is no way to create a set of install files from VS2005 (i.e. like in the old days when applications were installed from a set of stiffies (such fun...)

There's still a Setup and Deployment project, but only if your using the Professional version or above.

Hi
1) How does a try catch block function? Could you relate it in any way to the following:
If (exception occurs while doing something) then
Goto Catch
else
Contine executing
Endif
2) What is good practice with respect to the amount of code inside a Try .. Catch Block. Is it bad to have a lot of code (why?) and is is bad to call another procedure from withing a Try Catch Block
Cheers
Richard

Hi dear
I think u r trying to catch errors in VB inside some procedure
If it is so then use following code
Option Explicit<br />
Private Sub Form_Load()<br />
On Error GoTo catch<br />
Dim x As Integer<br />
x = "abc"<br />
Exit Sub<br />
catch:<br />
MsgBox "Caught U! Integer cant take String value"<br />
End Sub
If it isnt so ignore the reply
Bye

Well, have a you look at a Try...Catch with multiple catches and a Finaly block:
Try
... do something that might fail
Catch IOException ex
... handle the specific exception
Catch Exception ex
... handle all other .NET exceptions
Catch
... handle any other exception
Finally
... always runs
End Try
If any exception is raised in the Try block, execution immediately goes to the first Catch block where the type of the exception matches. An IOException would be handled by the Catch IOException block, but an ArgumentNullException would be handled by the Catch Exception block (as ArgumentNullException inherits from Exception). If you are calling an external library it might throw non-.NET exceptions, they would go to the Catch block.
The Finally block is used to make sure that anything used in the Try block is closed and disposed properly. The Finally block always runs, regardless if there was an exception or not.

There are two uses for Try...Catch blocks; wide and narrow. A wide block can be used to handle any exceptions from an entire application, or from a section of an application. A narrow block should be used to handle the specific exceptions that you anticipate might occur, and they should surround as little code as possible.
You can't write code to specifically handle any exception that possibly can occur, so use narrow blocks to catch the ones that you anticipate, and wide block to catch anything unexpected.

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

After converting VS2003 created sample to VS2005.we try to debug the application It gives the debugger error.
For example download this sample and try to run

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
