i have an sql database in my application and everything is working fine apart from one aspect.My random row picker code is located in one button on_click event. Is there a way of passing it over to other subs/on_click events?
[Code]...
I have created a small sql database using new data source. i have placed buttons to move to next,previous,first and last row but i am wondering if there is a way of making a button which would randomly pick a row with information from database or just make it randomize them before they are appearing on the screen.
At first i have tried creating random number generator and then joining it with the coulmns in the database. I failed in the end even though i thought it was going to work. Then i thought maybe i have to change the query as in, instead of "Select that and that and that from database" i thought i have to write "Select that and that from database sort by rand", i also saw that some people write limit 1 or more afterwards but i have no clue what it is and didnt use it. Anyhow i tried that query and it didnt work.
EDIT: I also thought about adding all questions into array, or use some sort of indexing, but i have to use database as the requirement.
Also if anyone would be willing to give me an advise of what is best book i could buy, which would cover databases in sql and some beginner/intermediate programming in visual basic.
I'm having an issue where I need to pass the value in a variable from one sub to anotherHere is the scenario. I have two forms; Main_Form and frmClient. I take a value from frmClient and pass it into a sub called Form_Activate located in Main_Form. I then need to take the value from Form_Activate and use it in a sub called when the user selects a menu item in the toolstrip.Starting point is frmClient and the code there is this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender as System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Client As Integer

Like how can i make it so it changes the text box to anyone of these words randomly

I have a number of unrelated subs and functions that do various things on my server (e.g. Lighting control, data caching, server maintenance, etc). They are all in various classes which I have coalesced into a single solution.My goal is to create a single, simple interface which each of these disparate classes can be integrated and called from a command line interface. Instead of hard-coding a longish case statement which parses arguments and passes them to the various subs, I wanted to make a generic class which can be instantiated with a minimum of information and put into a data structure. Ideally, adding a new function would involve:
1.) Providing the function pointer (Delegate). The delegates will have various signatures. This is the crux of the question.
2.) Providing ancillary info such as the command-line callable name, number of arguments, argument types, etc.
I have a 100% working class called "node" which is basically a hierarchical tree of node instances. I can use this to simply organize function calls in related branches. All is working quite well.NodeFunctionDelegate(ByVal args As String) As String.The node takes the arguments passed to it by the command line and sends it as the "args" string as comma-separated. The delegate function then needs to know how to split up these comma-separated values, type them, tryparse them and etc. It then must return some string.It works, but it involves writing a middle-man function stub which can receive the argument string from the node class, do the parsing and type checking, and then call the destination function.My goal is to eliminate this trivial middle-man function. The problem is, I can't figure out how to create a variable-signature delegate for the node class.
I've got a small pacman-like game where ghosts are running around a maze. At the moment, their movement is completely random. Each step, they determine which directions they can possibly move in (taking into account walls), and then they choose, randomly, one of those directions.Now, this works, but it's not very good. If a ghost is in a long corridor where he can only move up or down (or left/right), then he will usually not go anywhere, but just move up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down, up, etc. So, while it does move every step, in the long run it doesn't go anywhere.

View 22 RepliesWhat do you think what is faster:
1. writing 1000 records in a binary file on a server? or
2. passing the same 1000 records in a database on a server?
and

2. search the same specific record in a database file?

I just want to select 1 random record from my database for example in my table1 i have a,b,c,d,e,f,g then everytime i click the button in my program it will output randomly between a to g then i can add another record from my database and if I make it a to x it will randomly choose between a to x, the random doesnt have any conditions.
Right now i've found some codes that will be very useful but i cant modify it so it will be connected to my database.

I am about to start developing my second application in VB2008. The need is that it has to run on a network enviorment, probably under windows nt, the database has to be on the server so everybody uses the same data. The database is suppose to contain a lot of data on many tables, whatīs the ebst way to go? Access, SQL, foxpro dbf? Also what kind of project am I suppose to start? a windows app? or some kind of .net app.? I am sorry if I am saying dumb stuff itīs just that I am a rookie. Have in mind that after I build the application, many users have to have access to it from different computers and I also want the database to be availbale for a future website with forms and queries and stuff taken from the same database, is ASP the best choice for that purppose?
View 6 RepliesI'm developing a form that displays conference attendee data.I have a panel control on this form and would like to put a series of buttons at the bottom of this form that will open other forms in the panel. So for example, there would be a button to open the Address form, another button to open the Email form, and so on.There will be 10 buttons total. I have the Address and Email forms set up so far and it seems to work pretty slick.
Before I go any further, is this the best way to do this? FWIW, all forms will have a datarepeater control on them since there can be multiple addresses per attendee, multiple emails, etc.

I want to set the "poor" variable as the poor option in the combo box and the "average" variable as the average option in the combo box and so on and so forth.
