I'm creating a TV guide where you can check which movie tonight is coming etc. Everything went well till now, when I use a RSS I put the data in a DataGridView but it only goes in one column as I can't add the description in another column.
This is my code :
Dim Xml As New XmlDocument
Xml.Load("url")
Dim NoXml As XmlNodeList = Xml.SelectNodes("/rss/channel/item/title")
For i = 0 To NoXml.Count - 1
DataGridViewX1.Rows.Add(NoXml.Item(i).ChildNodes(0).InnerText)
Next
I want it to add more things then only the 'Title' in the DataGridView.

View 22 RepliesWant to make a movie rental program first part is for dvd's the other form is for blu rays(for blu-ray the price of rental is $5.00)This is what im thinking about doing on the dvd one
1. first it lets you select the movies you want new releases are $3.25 and the rest are $1.25*here i want to use check boxes for the new release and radio buttons for the rest of the moives *note: have to use one type of decision structure (if, if...else...or select cases)
2. As you select the moives it display the amount of movies selected in a label
3. now you click the rent button then
4. type in your 16 numeric numbers of your debit card (use a input box here) and * if it is a debit card and its 16 numbers long display = enter 4 number password or 4 digit pin number
5. if it is not display a message saying it must be 16 numbers long and a debit card or numeric *use error cathing and input validation
6. then let the user enter the 4 number pin for the debit card
7. if the pin is 4 numbers then display the total in a list box display total and the due date of the movie (don't know how im going to display due dates) * Note two other things i must use a procedure or a function and passing of arguments by reference or by value in procedure or fuction. "no late fees kinda like netflix" I got the part on how two diplay the total but dont know where to use the decision sturctured or the repetition structures the use ref procedure or funciton or passing arguments by ref or by val in my procedures or functions thats the only part im lost and i was thinking instead of using radio button or check boxes for the movies like selecting them i was thinking of using a drop-down combo box instead?

Guys,this is my first day at the forum,and my second thread. Can someone explain me how can i make an axshockwaveflashobject2 to copy what happens at axshockwaveflashobject1 like a picture or video. I have a tabed trainer and i want to see my stats in game at the second tab. i have the hack menu on a toolstrip,but i have at the tab 2 flash1.get variables to textboxes,but i can't see what's happening at the flash1,and i may lose the level by falling in the sea. The code should make something like a mirror from flash1 to flash2 at the other tab.

View 6 RepliesI have written a program in Visual Basic 10 and all is well. I have published it and have been burning the result to a cd and installed it on various computers, however it is the click once app, which has been fine till now. What I need to do now is to have the program install the .exe file and associated files (non click once app) to a specific drive on a computer or network computer. I have searched the net for instructions on how to initiate the windows installer and have failed. is there a program that you can select the source files then point to the installation folder tell it to go and an installation package gets made that I can burn to disk.
View 3 RepliesI have a VB program that creates a temporay PDF file then opens Outlook and attaches the file. I create the file in hte application path (the location that the program is running from - normally C:Program FilesProgamName This works fine in XP as it appears there are no crazy permission issues. However in Wondows 7, the file does not appear. There are no errors, the file does not exist in that location.
I've changed the path to the root of C:, however this doesn't work either. I suspect it's something to do with W7 virtualisation, so the question is where can I create a file that I can then access again?
I was trying to avoid creating it on a share on a server, but it's looking like this is the only place to put it as there doesn't seem to be many places a user can write files to in Windows 7.
Surely there must be a location that users can access (without being administrators) to create files. Don't even get me started on the fun I have had with the registry in W7!
I'm writing an application that I want to keep status text always on the taskbar. Some programs like Windows Media player create a toolbar that can be added to the taskbar. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET, and if so how ... ?
I can create a notifyicon, and although it can be used to display notifications I need the text information to always be displayed... I could have used different icons to show a change in status in the notifytray but I really need text to display the status.
I'm trying to create a windows user control project that has a textbox placed on it.I want the textbox to fill the user control window.I've built the control and added it to another project, but it isn't behaving the way I want it too.When I drag and drop the control from the toolbox onto a windows form and try to resize it, because the textbox.multiline property has been set to True, the Textbox resizes horizontaly and not vertically (just like normal textboxes do) however the underlying user control window resizes which is undisireable. How can I get the user control window to stop doing this.

View 2 RepliesIn our application, we have a number of Windows Services (more than 30) that must run behind the scenes to process data at given times throughout the day. I was attempting to create a BaseService class that I could inherit from that would log to our database when the service started or stopped as well as some other common functionality. However, I ran into a show stopper in trying to create BaseService as MustInherit as we have a number of MustOverride properties. The issue lies in:
<MTAThread()> Shared Sub Main()
Our code is all in VB (as you can probably tell). Given that it is a Shared method, I cannot have it be overriden (i.e. make it MustOverride). Without this method, the code will not compile, however it will not really work in the base class. The code in this method is:
Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New BaseService}
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
The BaseService (the name of my base class) cannot be created because it is specified as MustInherit. And therein lies my problem. I cannot create this in the Base Class and cannot override it in the inheriting classes.

What is the above equivalent for a windows application?
I'm wondering how I would go about creating a program that once installed was a windows toolbar. What I'm trying to do is similar to the clipboard, but I want to customize it to my own style. I work in a data entry job and many of the bills we enter have similar information that I'd like to be able to enter without repeated typing. I'd like the toolbar to be docked to the top of the screen, and have several buttons on it. Clicking a button, while having a focus in my data entry program, would paste the button's text (or the full text of what the button caption represented) into the selected field. Alternately, if focus between multiple applications is too difficult to try, then clicking the button would highlight the text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so I could then click back into my data entry program and hit ctrl-v. I dont need help on the program itself...just on how to make it as a windows toolbar, if possible.

m planning to make it as such:1. BLL and DAL are on the same box.2. Only PL is installed on client machines.Simple enough. Right now am planning to go web service as I have no idea how to do this with windows forms. So in a nutshell, my question would be how to connect the PL to the BL and how to do this during the development stage. I was planning on deploying the BL as a webservice then during development, the PL sets a reference to it to get the data.Data will basically be datasets, datatables etc. Might also have a need to do some file transfer.
