Reading Custom Properties From An Access File?
Oct 6, 2009
I'm trying to build an app that will read custom properties set in an accdb file. Basically, I'm trying to build a Front End updater (Yes I know there are others already built, but they don't work the way I want). The Custom properties are initially set manually by pressing the Office button, going to Manage, then Database Properties and selecting the Custom tab.
I've got most of the code set up, but my sticking point is how to read the custom properties.
Following is the function I use within Access VBA to get the properties, but obviously this is not going to work in VB.Net.
[Code].....
I think I need to replace one or more of the 4 lines after the On Error (yes I know I need to change the Error trapping too). I'm guessing I need to connect to the database file (an accdb, btw) and then go from there to define the container and documents collections.

What I've done is create a User Control Library (Project) and I've added a single User Control to that project. The control contains a single FlowLayoutPanel, and I created a Property on the control itself to pass the FlowDirection from the Control to its FlowLayoutPanel child.
Build, reference, component appears in the Toolbox and everything works fine, but the property on the control does not appear in the Properties window when I go to edit it at design time.

The file format has already been explained to me, and I can easily view it in notepad to understand it. It's basically a text file with a fancy extension and what not. The only problem is that I need to read it and pull a certain span of data from it.Here's the basic format:
8200
3251
1
[code].....
This is the first 10 lines, which is useless data for me. However, right after the first 10 lines, is a span of an unknown quantity of lines that I do need that are formatted like so:grassC:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalo Custom itiondatalevelsestlood_creekitmapslood_creek groundThe first line is the name of a bitmap assigned to the ID, while the second line is the path to the bitmap.Finally, after the unknown span of lines, there are two lines that go in this order:01Which I can safely assume at this point that the list no longer needs to be read.What I need to do is be able to open this file, skip over the first 10 lines which are completely useless, and then pull out the unknown gap of lines, and then stop reading when the line is '0', or at the end of the list.

I've populated a PropertyGrid with a custom class. How do you create and display a sub property similar to Size (Height, Width) which has two values or Point(X,Y)? For example, the class is Test and the property is Item as string. I want to expand Item to have two sub properties, A and B.

So I've been using VS2010 and haven't had too many problems transitioning over but I have an issue at the moment and I can't seem to find the answer...I have been using a little piece of code to insert comma delimited files to a database, which works great.Today, I received a Tab Delimited file from a client....obv I could edit, replace tabs with commas and move on but I want to know the right way to do this so I feel accomplished I've tried two ways so far1. This is the code I use for comma delimited with a slight change for the tabs -- PF refers to a class module that has the functions I use to get files and parse file paths
Dim Conn as New ADODB.RecordSet
PF.InputFile = PF.GetFile("Select LMR Demo File", "")
conn.Execute("SELECT * INTO [tmp_lmr] FROM [Text;Database=" & PF.InitLoc &

I am currently working on a vb project. What I am trying to do is reading a XML file and saving all the data in to the Access DB. Once this is done, I read the data from the access Db and display it in the required fields in VB form. Issue is, when i store the value in the access, a weird character is assigned before and after the data. The character is a square box with question mark in it. Also the same character displays on the VB form as well

I am trying to select Multiple files and then read the file 1 by 1, i want to know how to specify the file number in Visual Basic .net 2008
Here is a sample code which i have used in reading the text file.
With dlgOpen
.Filter = "txt Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
.Title = "Open Text Files"
[Code]....
Actually my text file is a dump file and i need to make a program to process this dump file. I may ask some stupid questions but this is just a beginning, i want to parse INDIVIDUAL text file line by line. In the above code i have used the ReadToEnd function in order to display it in TextBox but i may use ReadLine Function or Read function to read line by line or characters respectively.
I have attached an Access Database with the predefined tables in it, I want to update the contents in Access Database. Supposingly if my textfile contains Names (Sam,Julie,Joseph,Marina), how will i update my attached Access table in vertical order !

We have a site that is public facing, let's say it's [URL]. When the SSL is implemented, [URL], I can no longer access the jQuery 1.4.3 file on my own server. Furthermore, after a tweak to the security setting, I was able to get past the 'Access is Denied' error, but the first call was null. I understand there is a problem with different protocols actually being within the scope of the cross-domain problem? Is that true? And if so, will this now require JSONP?

how to proceed. One of our customers is going to be sending me a flat file (ASCII-Text) that I have to break down and scan. Every line ends in a CrLf - So I know I can use StreamReader and ReadLine(). I did get it to work on one of the test files they sent.(A very Short file) However, the file is not delimited at all and every field is padded to the full length they specified. Here's the format of the file:

I created a custom datagridview column for a progressbar and included customizable color properties but I can't get them to work right. After compiling, the properties show up correctly in the Edit Columns popup editor, but changing the values has no effectThe designer generated code shows the original values and manually changing them there has the desired effect(I know you're not supposed to, just testing). Here is the code for the column even though I don't think the issue is stemming from any coding errors there.
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D

In our IDE, for example, Visual Studio, if we display the properties of a System.Windows.Forms.Button control, we see some properties that expose anoter set of properties. For example: FlatAppearance, Font, Location, Margin, etcetera.I would like to do something similar in a custom control.I know the code behind is wrong, but here is an example of what I´m trying to do:
Public Class StateOfMyCustomControl
Public Enum EnumVisibility
Visible
[code]....
In my IDE, in the properties window of my custom control, I would like to see my property State, with the possibility of display it to set the properties Visibility and EventManagement.

I'm moving my first steps in the VB.NET world (I come from VB6) and I'm stuck with the creation of a particular class.
Let's say we have a bus that always has 101 places. I'm trying to create a class containing the map of the bus, along with methods to graphically represent it.
My "Bus" class will have a couple of properties ("BusColor", "BusModel") related to the whole bus. Then it should have a property called "Places" whose type is a custom class thet represents every single place, along with, for example, the passenger name or the place number. This property should of course be an array.
This is my code so far (simplified):
Public Class BusMap
Private Const MAX_PLACES As Integer = 101
Private _BusModel As String = ""
[Code]....
but I wonder if there is a more standard way of doing this.
My second question is: how can I modify my class to be able to iterate its Places property with the "for each" statement? A quick search on the web showed up that I should implement the IEnumerable interface, but I'm still not enough confident with the concept of Interfaces.

Lets say i'm making a new dialog. I don't want to expose the properties of the form to code elsewhere, only specific ones I define. I tried making the form Protected (including the Designer generated code) and putting it in another class, but then I can't figure out how to access the form from my code. Am I going about this completely the wrong way, or what?

I have built a Custom Control Class that makes it much easier to build a side bar element in my html.
The problem I am running into is that when I set the "Text" property, the last time I set it gets used for every instance of the control on my page. This is my first time doing this, so I'm assuming I'm missing something basic.
