I dont know if that what this function of the IDE is called "autocomplete"... Used to, when I typed a variable in lowercase the program would automatically change the capitalization to reflect what was declared. This has stoped working. When I type a key word- it capitalizes the right...

I want to have a listbox or checklist box that contain mutiple columns of data populated by data from a DataReader. I would like the data to be presented something like: 12/12/04 (row 0 col 0); $250.00 (row 0 col 1) 12/13/04 (row 1 col 0); $500.00 (row 1 col 1) and so on.. I think I...

I have 2 functions that make entries "SQL" safe. They add or replace SQL unsafe charactors like "," with "~,~". My problem is that when I bind a dataset to a control, I have no way to remove the "~" charactors where present. I am creating a dataSet from an Access datastore from a query that...

Is there anything nifty like asp.net's required field validator in vb.net? I don't seem to find reference to it. Thanks! Kevin Howell

How do you reference a control on another form? I would like to unhide and increment a progress bar on the MDI parent from an MDI child. I have tried (from the mdi_child): dim mdiForm as mdi_parent mdiForm.ProgressBar.Visible = True and so on... but this doens't seem to work I have tried...

I have a dataset that is populating a combobox with the "DataSource", "ValueMember" and "DisplayMember" properties of the combo box. I want to concancate (sp?) the values from two cells in a row to fill the "DisplayMember" property. My code: comboBox.DataSource = dataSet.Tables("tblCity")...

Please enlighten me to the advantages of one over the other. I understand that one is direct and one is disconnected. For a non-networked desktop application, shouldn't the simplicity of a direct access weigh heavily in favor of it? Or am I missing the point altogether. Thanks in advance Kevin...

If I declare something "Public Shared" in a class, once initialized it holds the data until when? The class is destroyed? Suppose I wanted to initalize a Public Shared variable in a MDI form. Would that variable be available until the MDI parent was closed (application exit?) Thanks in advance!

In asp classic, it was possible to compress / repair an access database via code. I was wondering if asp.net provides this ability and what namespace should I be looking in? Thank you so much! Kevin Howell
