I get an empty string when calling the .Text property. Refer below for snippet:[code]The internet search advises to use Items(col).Cells(2).FindControl(..), the problem with that is FindControl finds the control by ID, BoundColumn doesn't allow you to insert an ID for it.

but value contains an empty string I confes to being a VB n00b, less than a week, in fact, but I can't see what's wrong there. The file exists, it contains a section called "Config" which has an entry called "UserName" with a value - but even if not, wouldn't value take the default?
Edit: It's not returning an empty string - it's returning whatever I initialize value to before calling GetPrivateProfileString().
Which is to say that if I Dim value As String = "xxx" then it stil contains "xxx" after the call and not the default value.

just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

It returns always an empty result.
This must've have been asked before but I couldn't locate it. In a mixed code project (VB and C#) we were debugging some old Visual Basic code where a statement as follows could be found:
If Request.Params("xxx") <> "" Then
'do something
I considered this a bug as Request.Params could be null, in which case the statement would've become false which wasn't the idea. So I thought. I just found out, -- probably for the tenth time and I will keep forgetting -- that the following two statements are not equal, while Nothing in VB should be equal to null in C# (thought I):
if(String.Empty == null) // always false
If String.Empty = Nothing Then ' always true
Should I dismiss this as a typical Microsoft backward compatibility effort, or should I consider this a huge error in the VB.NET compiler? Does anybody know the Microsoftean opinion on this oddity?
The problem is that if you never enter anything into a cell for a new row then that cell is never validated. This is a problem because I have columns that should not be null. I am doing the check in the row level validation and storing the information about which cells are empty that should not be empty. The row level validation works fine and the row level validation error indicator goes on,(red exclamation mark at the beginning of the row) but I also need a visual indicator on the individual cells that are in error.
I am thinking that setting the HasError property for the cells that are in error should cause them to display n error style (the default red border). Is there a way to this this either from XAML (perferably) or from code?Alternatively I could cause those cells to re-validate when the row editing is finished. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have a query that 'selects' object of a type:
Dim l as IList(Of Foo) = (From dataRow As DataRow In table.Select()
Where CStr(dataRow("Column1")) = "A"
Select New Foo(CStr(dataRow("Column1")), _
CStr(dataRow("Column2")))).ToList()
What's happening is that if i set a break-point to the constructor of Foo and step, the constructor is hit and the parameters are loaded with the arguments. However, l has empty Foo objects (the members in every object are Nothing). What could be happening here?

treeView control which has been plaguing me for the last few days.
I'm not exactly sure what is causing this problem to arise, so I will just explain what my program is trying to do.
I am building an application which will have plugin support. I have created a Plugin interface, which is implemented by each plugin, as well as a host interface, which is implemented only by the host application.
Each plugin has an Action subroutine, and when finished, it is supposed to call the ExecutionComplete subroutine in the host interface.
Now, onto the problem. I have a treeView on the host form, which has several nodes in it. If I create a button on the form which displays a message box with treeView.nodes.count, it shows up fine, and everything works as expected. If I attempt to display the same messagebox from the ExecutionComplete subroutine, it also gives the correct number of nodes.
This is where things get a little weird. I have implemented a save feature into my program, so you can save and load data. For some weird reason, if you have loaded the data from a file, rather than adding each node manually, it now returns an empty node collection ONLY if I try to access it from ExecutionComplete. If I try to access the nodes from a button, it still returns the correct values!
What could it possibly be about the ExecutionComplete subroutine that makes it return a value any different than what is returned when the exact same code is placed in a button click event? And why does it only happen when I've loaded the data from a file? I just don't understand how loading it from a file is any different than them adding the nodes manually. The nodes are definitely being added, as I can see them, and the button click event can also see them. Also, ExecutionComplete is obviously able to read the contents of the treeView, because it works just fine if the user has set up the treeView manually.
i'm having a problem w/this conversion code. as the title describes, the first file converted returns w/empty content, but w/the file name.the rest of the files are ok. here is the code, just paste in form and run.. i meant, run the app. ;o)

Is it possible to add a button column to a datagridview and then remove a select group of these from rows without removing the rows themselves? That is, I want the ability to hide or remove these buttons in certain rows after certain actions have occured. I realized that I could simply delete the rows with these buttons, but I want to keep the data in these rows visible without the user thinking they have to use the buttons. I am assuming that I can also disable the buton in the desired rows as well.

It crashes at this

I know its because the grid is empty. when the grid is empty it has a "-1" as the selected value index right?
Is ther a way to test if the index is "-1".
if grid_selected index <> "-1" then

I think we can just draw an image that resemble the grid using this article : drawing in a datagridview Currently creating a way to make the image drawn in tile mode. Each time I develop a datacentric application using VB.NET regardless of how much the data displayed in the datagrid, I always want the grid to display full row of empty data, not just blank panel. Can we achieve this using VB.NET design time property? And also, we must not trigger the display of vertical scrollbar this way..
