I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I would like to know if there are some in built functions for the scenario that is described below :
The input is the path of a parent folder. Wat the function must do is , it should list out all the .zip files inside that parent folder.The parent folder can contain any number of subfolders, and the same applies to the subfolders too ..
VB version is not a barricade. Any of the versions VB6 or VS2005 can do. Also is there any other alternative way if there are no inbuilt functions as such.
Currently one my current project has 4 listboxes (1 big and 3 smaller) of the 4 listboxes 3 of them(smaller ones) are populated on load with file names from a specific directory.

How can I make listbox that contains items from some folder...
For example: I have 10 .txt files in 1 folder. In my program when I click button "view" there is a listbox that contains names of that .txt files.
I'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 to create an interface with a order database in MS Access 2007 (.accdb file). Everything is fully functional except updating the "Inventory" table is very slow. Updating around 2200 items takes almost 2 minutes and the window will appear as "not responding" for the duration if you click away and come back. Here is the process:1. Tab-delimited text file is picked by user, which includes all inventory items (not just new ones)2. Each line from text is parsed and read into variables (tempSKU, tempItemTitle, etc.)3. Old items are updated and new ones are added. -> This is the bottleneck
I used to have a series of IF statements to check which elements were changed and report them, but that was about 2x as slow. The new code is a little faster but doesn't provide the feedback I liked (update part is commented around):

View 6 RepliesIn VB6, I used to declare my variables like this:
Dim x As Integer
Dim iLongName As Integer
i.e. All the types tabbed to line up.When I click "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code" in settings, it won't let me do this - and without "Pretty" switched on, the code is a mess (as a VB programmer, I'm not used to having to do things myself).Is there any way to configure this all or nothing option so I can get the best of both worlds?

Use code tags when posting your code. Code tags are used like so =>
I create a new Windows Forms application and add an AboutBox form which is built-in into Visual Studio. I add a button to Form1 to show the AboutBox when clicked.The AboutBox form has a label with the text "Version" on it. The following code is supposed to add the application's version to that label at run-time:
Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format("Version {0}", My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)When the application version is changed in the Publish tab of the My Project form to 2-0-3-6, the version on the AboutBox at run-time stays at 1.0.0.0 (of course after rebuilding).
Even when the application is published to the desktop, it still does not work. It does, however, reflect the correct version number in the title of a subfolder in the Applications folder that is created when the application is published.

I'm planning on letting the client download files from the server through this directory listing or something likewise..it doesn't matter really if it's a directory listing or something else, it just has to be user-friendly.

If so how do I make a dataConnection to a file in the AppData folder using the new data connection wizard.
