Using VS 2008 vb.net how can I change the color from green to yellow to red as my values decrease? Actually the logic is easy but my color isn't changing.
progressbar1.forecolor = color.red -- This is not working
Can I set up a change in the font color when a certain true value comes up with a logical test - e.g. If the "value_if_true" says STOP, can I have the STOP show up in a red font and if the "value_if_false" says OK, then leave it as a black font?

I'm working on a project that's going to be deployed via .NET on Windows and via Mono on Linux; the same data needs to be exchangeable between the platforms, including where platform A is Little-Endian and platform B is Big-Endian.Where text is concerned, I know ASCII/Unicode is natively Big-Endian, so there's no problem with that.Where numbers are concerned, I know that byte arrays have to be reversed on Big-Endian platforms to store the data in Little-Endian format.But what exactly is the 64 bit value output from System. Date Time.ToBinary?Is this a number representing the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1 1970, is this some kind of serialized attribute that outputs some DotNET-recognizable value, or what?Does this byte array need to be handled differently in Big and Little Endian environments?It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

I'm populating a custom dropdown list control on the fly that's tied to data grid using VB .NET 2008. The form will display all the manufactures when the edit button on the data grid is selected.
The dropdown I created works fine. However, when I try to populate the drop down with the respected manufacture values from the database, I only get a value of "System.Data.DataRowView" that being populated in the dropdown list as opposed to my values from the database.
Here's the basic code I use to first create and populate the drop down control:
<asp:DropDownList ID="Manufacturedd" Runat="server" DataSource='<%# m_ItrackerData.Tables("Misc_Manufacture") %>' SelectedIndex='<%# getSelectedManufacture(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Manufacture"))
