I always try to ensure I have a good overview of most technolgies so I can assess whether something would be worthwhile for me to learn nor not. Given that VB6 was discontinued about 5 years ago I feel that it comes in to the category of "insufficient possible return on investment" to be worthwhile learning. If you already have the skill and it is useful in your situation then go for it.
Another for instance, F# has just come on my radar. At the moment it is not currently worth learning, but could be useful in the future. So I'm keeping watch on it.
Polyphonic wrote: We encourage people to not be limited
I don't regard myself as limited. I try to take a more pragmatic approach to see if there is any longevity in the technology to make it worth while spending the effort learning it. I can imagine that at some point in the future it may be useful to me to revisit C++ (I did about 3 years ago and I may do again).

I won't argue with your approach, I agree to a large extent. However I expect that you might concure the no technology has longevity. It's just the nature of the beast. Ideally the best system should have the least complexity to learn and implement while being highly economical to obtain (buy or rent). Of course such a system would and should put all of us out of business. If you are not having fun you are doing it wrong. As Lilly Tomlin once said in her one woman show, Is there any intelligent life in the universe, "Reality is just a collective hunch!" Enjoy the ride.

In the context of computer software longevity is shorter than in the context of human lifespans. It is all relative to what is being discussed.

Hi,
I will have to do design an application which should activate camera application in pocket pc 2003.
I have found that there is a namespace in .net 2005 that "Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms" through MSDN. But When i try Add Reference, Its not available in the collection of dlls. but Is it anyway to get it back.
In Recent mobile we have a camera application like this I need to develop for my own and it should run in Pocket PC 2003 mobiles. And i will type a filename to store it into the folder.
I think this time you got an idea.
Regards
Azeem

Hi,
I have an array of times(in miliseconds). I need to loop through the array and activate the dsrEnable method on serial port for exactly ethe time in the array and then disable the dsrEnable and move on to the next item in the array. The time has to be exact in a milisecond.
I have tried using a timer, but that is not precise, at all.
Do you know any other precise methods besides timer?
Thank you!!

Hi, you could find more information on this subject in my timer article. See link below.

Hi,
I am just tired getting this error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in my project. I know that to solve this error you can use New keyword but I don't think that "new" can be used with Thread. Some code is as follows:
Private thrDownload As Thread
<br />
'''''' Some code is here'''''''''''''<br />
'<br />
'<br />
'<br />
'Now On This line I am getting an error :<br />
<br />
thrDownload.Start(0)<br />
<br />
' Or On thrDownload.Pause(0) & thrDownload.Stop(0) the same error !<br />
'<br />
'<br />
'<br />
'<br />
'''''' Some code is here'''''''''''''<br />
<br />
If anyone wants then I can paste the whole code here but It's lots of lines of code ! :->
Any Suggestions ? 
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, it can. You have to create the Thread object before you can use it.

Yo,
I have an datagrid where I want to filter my data I got.
The filter I want to use is the text inside an combobox or textbox (it doesn't matter)
This is the code I already have
Private Sub cmbPO_textChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmbPO.SelectedValueChanged
Me.TblLijstBindingSource.Position = Me.cmbPO.SelectedIndex
End Sub
Where:
cmbPO = combobox
tblLijstBindingSource = binding source
This doesn't works like I want it, I want to see just the record I've insert in the combobox. But if this is to hard to do, it may just jump to that record.
Thanks
(Plz keep in VB.NET and do not throw code of C# or such a languages :->)

Hello,
To achieve this, you would have to use the filter property for the binding source. You will have
to specifically put the filter condition on the field whose value you will enter in the Text box.
You can use the following code in the TextChanged event of the Combobox or the Text Box:
Private Sub ComboBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.TextChanged<br />
<br />
Me.TblLijstBindingSource.Filter = "<Column Name> ='" & Me.ComboBox1.Text & "'"<br />
<br />
End Sub
I believe this should help.

Allen

Thanks for your help but still got an error :
Syntax error: Missing operand before '=' operator.
Btw how do you search for a value who is in a datagrid who is dynamic created.
I mean how can you bind a dataset to the datagrid, and not the datagrid to the dataset.
Thanks

Hi All,
This is the first time, am posting a query on any forum.
I've developed an application in which there is a hot key assigned to each button. In VB.Net I came to know there is no need to press Alt to activate the hot key which is known as an Access key (correct me if am wrong). But problem is like this when my application is open and control is on my application and by mistake if I pressed any button for eg. on Exit button, I've written E&xit so it's a hot key when I pressed Alt+x, but according to Access key if I press 'x' then also it works as Alt+x and it takes me out of the application. So I wanted to deactivate the access key, it should work only when I pressed Alt+x.
Please advice me.

Sorry to be a pain, but I just can’t find this:
I can load an assembly from a .dll:
Dim Asm As Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom("c:\test.dll”)
But then I can’t unload the assembly
So I tried:
Dim newDomainName As AppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("newDomainName")
But NewDomainName doesn’t have a loadfrom method
How to create the assemblyref foo required as the argument in:
newDomainName.Load(foo)
Thanks

hi well the title is pretty self explanotary.....I'm just trying to insert a row after the currently selected row in a datagridview programatically? anybody please help with this
Mr Oizo

If the grid is bound to a datasource, you don't add the new row to the datagridview. You add it to the datasource, probably a DataTable. How you do that depends entirely on your datasource.
