I an working on image converting program. I need to convert a file that the user selects in an openfiledialog to the following file types in a folder that the user selects:
.ICO
.PNG
.JPEG
.BMP
.GIF
The user will select which type they want to convert the image to.
i have a column in datagridview composed of numeric as well as aphanumeric. What i want is when the user sorts the column, it will be sorted according to its number value, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. However it my current module, the program sorts basing the first digit of the column. like 1,10,11,12,2,3,30,31.
i was thinking of converting the type to number so that it will be arrange properly, is this possible in the datagridview to covert type? because i saw only a readonly property celltype? i have also tried casting it in the sql query itself to INT but it did not work.
I have a program that calculates commission, but if the commission is nothing then I do not want it to show a zero commission. I want a message box to show a message that there is no commission earned.

Is there a simple way to get the associated icon to a type of file. I mean suppose that i want to get the icon used for PDF files but i do not have a pdf file how can I get the typical icon associated to each file type?
View 2 RepliesI have problem to associate an Icon to the specific extention like *.nst which is my application's file.
I can associate icon by writing some registry entries where I have given the path of the icon file. but I don't want to do like this I actually want to embed the icon file into the EXE file and then set the ICON.
I have embeded the icons into EXE by doing some stuff but when I have given the icon index that icon is not associated with the file only first ICON is associated.
I know how to add a resource to my project and I also know how to add an icon to my application. What I could not figure out is how to embed another icon for custom file types - I do know what registry entries to add / modify though, I am just not able to add a 2nd icon as resource to my profile and make it 'accessible', so, that the Windows System can display it for files with my custom extension.

I can extract
ColumnName = Item
ColumnSize = 80
DataType = System.String
But to write a Parameter I need to convert this to
UpDateCmd.Parameters.Add("Item", OleDbType.BSTR, 80).Value
Is there an easier way of converting DataType = System.String to OleDbType.BSTR than having to make a list with Select Case?Or is there a method to find OleDbType.BSTR rather than reading DataType = System.String?I also tried
SchemaTable = dbconn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.
OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, "Auction"})
Dim RowCount As Int32

But that also returns DataType = System.String.
I was testing article [URL] to see if I could use this to populate a listview2 with the icons from Directory.GetFiles(apath) and getDirectories. If you go into c:windowssystem32 the program will hang for about 4 mins then if you go back to windows then back to system32 you will get the error.
win32 handle that was passed to icon is not valid or is the wrong type.

View 1 RepliesI don't know how to convert the nvarchar value into an int, but that is the way it needs to be set up. I've found other posts about this but I don't know how to use CAST in the INSERT statement I have. All the posts I could find were about converting to int in SELECT statements. I need this statement to change the field @Duration to an int in the database. @Duration is an amount of time. (01:00, 02:00...) They will all get rounded up to the next int value. So if a user enters 0:45, it should be converted to 1. how to get this INSERT to work?

I wrote my own database handling code (actually, I write T4 text templating files that generate my database code for me) and part of it takes care of converting values from a database (as Objects) to the desired types.

Simple enough, but it doesn't work... The return type of the function is (and must be) T, so I cannot return a Boolean because a Boolean cannot be converted to T!
Well... It can in this case, because I specifically check that T is Boolean, but the compiler doesn't know this so it doesn't allow me to return a Boolean. I cannot cast the boolean to T either.

I've come from a Assembler and C/C++ background, so I understand the concept behind reference types versus value types in vb.net. Also, I've read Jon Skeet's article regarding references and value types and I understand all of that. My question is: How can you tell if a given type is a reference type or a value type? Is it simply that all integral types (ints, floats, etc.) are value types and all classes are reference types? (If so, where do strings fall?)
