always had a problem getting my head around it. I don't have a very strong mental model of how the code flows. My main problem is i think i understand the syntax, but not really its application. Any links people found useful would be great.
Couple of questions. The code below doesn't make sense to me (written by someone else) the application is basically a csv reader, but manipulates the data.

For my application, I want to have one form ("Action Form") that (1) remains visible, (2) reports progress in a scrolling text box and (3) receives user input via clicks to its command buttons and menus.While the program runs, I need to show some results in different forms in two other windows (let's call them "Graphic Form" and "Accounting Form"), updating these as we run. You might call these Read-Only windows.
That's it. Can't be all that difficult, right? I did it in VB6 with no problems.However, in my .NET attempts, once I update information on either of the other forms, my Action Form loses focus and I can't get it back. It's there and it keeps updating, but its menus and buttons don't respond any more.
Is it possible to manage three (or more) Forms in this fashion. Maybe the other windows should be Frames or something instead of Forms, but I can't see how to do that.(It may be because I'm using "Sleep" to slow the updates to readability on the other forms. Maybe I should be using a timer.)
EDIT:It seems to work so long as I take care to update the Action Form last of all, after the others, so maybe this is a "Never Mind."However, if anyone has any ideas on how best to implement Read Only Windows for auxiliary displays, I'd like to hear them

I want to launch a application called Foxit Reader pdf Reader .I know System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path) can do it but . Requirements are Foxit Reader should be installed on machine.Now if it is installed how to serarch for the path of its Executable to provide the parameter as I can not hardcode the path for different machines.
View 3 RepliesI am having an issue with both Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader when trying to print a PDF document. Both issues are different but a solution to either one will allow me to fix my issue.The issue I am having with Adobe Reader when trying to print using the following code is that it will not print it to the network printer I specify but just the default printer.

AdobeReader.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False

I have a Access 2003 backend db and I'm using vb 2005 to connect to the db via conntection string. It works ok! I can see all the tables but only some of the queries. Why should some queries be absent? In 1 query I have a user define function which cuts up a string. I've created a new VB project with a new connection but the same result.

I am a beginner when it comes to VB express. I went to the FAQ and found what looked like the answer to my question in "Database - How can I put the value of a variable/control into my SQL statement?" which said I should use thecode ...... where Field = ' " & variablename & " ' at the end of the SQL statement
I am using a field defined as a nchar with 10 charecters and my variable is defined as a string. my field has been given the value "abcdefghij" so it is full to avoid confusion with spaces and even though the variable is identical and I have used the len command to check there are no hidden spaces etc. When I run the query I get no records selected. What am I doing wrong?. If I use Where Field = 'abcdefghij', ie specify the value in the SQL I get the correct records selected but this does not give me the flexibility I need
I have a basic grid of Linq2Sql entities (frmList). I have a separate form for editing (frmEdit). frmEdit has its own DataContext (as that appears to be the recommended way). How can I tell when my detail form has saved changes?
I don't see a built-in method. I am considering raising an event on the detail form when I save the datacontex, but not sure how I consume this event on frmList, and I have a feeling these events are already created for me somewhere?
We have a reporting system where in we are getting unexpected results:
1) The size of reports at different time of interval is different?
2) The reports are writen as pdf to a directory. When we have thousand of older unused pdf(which will not get merged) in the directory the Adobe Life Cycle(to murge the PDF) throws error.But when we clear the directory by deleting the old unused pdf, it works fine?
3) Some of the pdf that are rejected by Adobe life cycle may or may not be corrupted. Meaning they may or may not open up with Adobe Reader, manually.
I have a data driven application in <acronym title="Visual Basic">VB</acronym> which works with an SQL Server 05 Database.Since this app makes use of many queries and commands, occasionally i'me getting a timeout error as the connection pool is full. So i figured that at a specifc point in time within the app,i'll clear the connection pools using the ClearAllPools method rather than increase max pool size.
I'm using the performance monitor on my XP development machine (NumberOfPooledConnections) however not once do i see the number of Pooled Connections reset to 0 even when that method is called.How can I determine that my solution is working (if it is) before I deploy the update?

I have an application that works together with a SQL database. This database has more than 40 tables and my applican has to extract different situations from those tables.
I have predefined some queries for the situations that I know they need to be in the application.
The idea is that I need kind of a module in which an user can create his own situation based on the tables, views, functions and procedures that already exist in the database. Something like it is in SQL. There has to be a library or something which will read my sql database directly from my application and which allow the user to create his own queries and situations.

How do you query a Dataset with SQL queries? I'm using VB with Visual Studio 2005. I've got a large library of SQL queries I'd like to run in-memory on a Dataset.All the examples in the documentation show how to "query a dataset with code," but none show how to run a simple SQL query against a dataset. I've seen other threads that say you can do so, but no code examples. Can anyone provide sample code to show how you would run a simple SQL "Select..." query (using the same syntax you would use to query a database) on an in-memory dataset?
