a little of topic, need some postcode data(uk) by:aussie rules
| Hi,
I am developing an app that needs to validate postcodes(from all different countries), and cann't seem to find any online/downloadable postcode data on the internet, outside of Australia Post.
I would like the UK post code/area codes the most at this point, and I know that Royal Mail do sell this, but its a bit expense for my project to purchase this information.
Does anybody know where else I can get this from
Thanks

Hope this helps.

Web Custom Control - Datagrid Event Handling Problem
Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:
Web Custom Control - Datagrid Event Handling Problem by:alkamista@lycos.com (The Alchemist)
| I am having a problem with a dynamically-generated Datagrid. It is important to point out that this problem does not exist with a design-time created Datagrid, but only with a dynamically generated Datagrid in a Web Custom Control (WCC) : The datagrid has LinkButton Column which has a select LinkButton for each row. When this button is clicked, the Datagrid raises its 'ItemCommand' event which captures the information for that row and sends it to a event handler method. The problem is that this method is never getting called. It seems logical to assume that there is something wrong with the event-wiring of the datagrid. The signature of the event-handler is:
Private Sub DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dg.ItemCommand
(dg is the name of the datagrid). The 'Handles' keyword in VB.Net is supposed to wire the event to the handler but that is not happening. So I tried to manually add the handler to the event with the following line of code in the CreateChildControls method of the WCC using the line:
AddHandler dg.ItemCommand, AddressOf Me.DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged
That does not work either. The datagrid loads up just fine, and on selecting a row it does a PostBack and hits the OnLoad event but never hits the event-handler method.
Why is this event not being wired to the handler? Or might there be some other problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

By "crashes", I'm asumming you mean "throws an Unhandled Exception", in which case ...
Wrap a Try...Catch construct around the offending line(s), catch the Exception and see what it tells you - they're suprisingly /good/ at that sort of thing ... ;-)

You can add it to the path if you think you will need it that much, or just type it all in. If this is a machine with VisStudio installed, Herfried and Sean are correct, or you can go the hard way as I described. The .NET command prompt has all the paths set up. Ofcourse, you can be a cheesy bastard like myself and take the paths that it set's up, and set those into the windows paths of your machines and never worry bout it again :)

My FAQ:
\\Private Function FindControl( _ ByVal ControlName As String, _ ByVal CurrentControl As Control _ ) As Control Dim ctr As Control For Each ctr In CurrentControl.Controls If ctr.Name = ControlName Then Return ctr Else ctr = FindControl(ControlName, ctr) If Not ctr Is Nothing Then Return ctr End If End If Next ctr End Function ///
Usage:
\\DirectCast(FindControl("btnBla", Me), Button).Enabled = False ///
Notice that the procedure listed above is "slow", if you have to access a lot of controls by name very often, you should store references to them in a 'Hashtable' object. You can use the name of the control as key:
\\Private m_Controls As New Hashtable() ///
Adding a control:
\\Dim DynamicPictureBox As New PictureBox() DynamicPictureBox.Name = "PictureBox1" m_Controls.Add(DynamicPictureBox.Name, DynamicPictureBox) ///
Looking for a control:
\\Dim p As PictureBox = DirectCast(m_Controls.Item("PictureBox1"), PictureBox) ///
Removing a control:
\\m_Controls.Remove("PictureBox1") ///
Sometimes it's even better to add the control to an array. This will allow fast and easy index-based access to the control references:
\\Dim MyLabels() As Label = {Label1, Label2, ..., Label10} ///
Access by 'MyLabels(0)' to 'MyLabels(9)'.
Control arrays:

Creating a DSN via odbc - But do i need one at all? by:Dan Keeley
| Hi,
I'm writing a vb.net project which uses crystal reports to access the database ( currently msaccess, but could be changed in the future )
I've found articles in this group, saying dont use odbc, use a dsnless connection. However can that work with embedded crystal reports? If so how?
If not, then how do i get my setup program to install the dsn? The only code ive found so far for installing a dsn has been for vb, not vb.net, is it all done in the same way?
Thanks! Dan
| | | Reply: by:Bernie Yaeger
| | | Hi Dan,
I'm not following you completely, but when you open the Access database in cr, connect to it via ole db (Jet 4.0 Provider). Then call the report inside vb .net with CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = "c:\apps\sst.rpt"
Where crystalreportviewer1 is simply the cr report viewer - then launch it and you're in business.

Parsing a flat file to retrieve only a single line.

Parsing a flat file to retrieve only a single line. by:mwazir
| Dear all,
I have a requirement while parsing a delimited flat file and I was wondering if there is a simpler solution that what I have in mind. Basically I need to pull out a line from the flat file and the information I am given is the line number and the name of the file. Therefore I have thought of implementing something like this.
Private Function getLineFromFile(ByVal sFilePath As String, ByVal lStringNo As Long) As String
Dim oStream As New IO.StreamReader(sFilePath) Dim strReadLine As String = "", strReturnValue As String = "" Dim lLine As Long = 0
While (oStream.Peek() > -1) lLine = lLine + 1 strReadLine = oStream.ReadLine() If lLine = lStringNo Then strReturnValue = strReadLine Exit While End If End While
oStream.Close() oStream = Nothing Return strReturnValue End Function
Another factor I am keeping in mind is that the files can have between 50 to 2000 lines. Appreciate any thoughts you may have.
Many thanks

However it has not a real designer as it seems the next version will be.
MS Frontpage has much more designer functions now.
I like very much to do (D)HTML and Javascript editing using VS, because of the direct Help which is on my side and the background testing on errors.

| | | Reply: by:Cor Ligthert
| | | Hi Andrew,
Why are you not using ADONET, ADO is so complicated to make connections?
If you are using VS2003, than you start with dragging from the toolbox the OLEDB adapter, (A wissard starts) and you follow what you have to do. The only thing I have to add in my opinion is that you have to choose in the connection property box, the first tab, you choose in there the right Jet provider and goes on, because the rest is in my opinion easy.
(This is only to learn in future you will probably do it in another way)

| | | I am getting confused with database connections with ADO.net. It seems you can connect to a database like access using the oledb connection and also using .net framework which is more complicated. Using .net data source you get the bonus of performance which is what VB.net wants people to move towards eventually.
Just a simple databse like access then connecting through the jet engine (oledb)is the way. What a poorly explained topic databases are on VB.net, ?
| | | Reply: by:Cor Ligthert
| | | Andrew,
Connecting in dotNet using OleDB = AdoNet.
For that you use a connection, however try what I said, it should be maximum 5 minutes to do.
There are also some checks in it and after the wizard.
When the Wizard is done you can do: Generate datasset by right clicking on the Picture Oledbadatper which appears below. (There will as well be a connection picture)
I hope this helps..

SQLDMO.DLL on machine without SQL Installed ??
Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:
SQLDMO.DLL on machine without SQL Installed ?? by:soulcode
| Hi There,
I was wondering what the process is (if there is one) to get a .NET application that uses the below code and the SQLDMO.DLL reference to work on a PC without SQL2000 installed on it (to search for an SQL database installed on another PC on the same network). I've tried a few things already and the code below works for my PC (has SQL installed), but not my other PC (without SQL installed). I've also tried to use the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 258157 article, but no success...
Please help.
************************************* Dim i As Integer Dim oNames As SQLDMO.NameList Dim oSQLApp As SQLDMO.Application Set oSQLApp = New SQLDMO.Application Set oNames = oSQLApp.ListAvailableSQLServers() For i = 1 To oNames.Count ' do something with oNames.Item(i) Next i *************************************** Soulcode.

Also check out www.sqldev.net
Essentially YOU have to install DMO on any machine where you make the call.

Control licensing
Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:
Control licensing by:Ray Cassick \(Home\)
| After countless hours of complete frustration I am asking for someone here to point me to a (working) example of how to license a class library. All I want to do is create a design time license for a few component libraries and am finding out that this seems to be one of the darkest areas of VB.NET that no one can give a good example of how it works from start to finish.
I understand the basics of how it is supposed to work and it all makes sense but I have yet to actually see an example that WORKS anywhere. All I seem to find is tons of message posted by people that seem to be as far to the end of theirs ropes and I am on the subject.
I even downloaded an example from the gotdotnet web site:
http://windowsforms.net/articles/Licensing.aspx
....and the examples don't work. The host application STILL throws an exception when trying to use the licensed component at runtime.
Pat of what I cannot believe is that it seems that most of the WORK (creation of license files and addition of the license to the host project) needs to be done by hand for components that are non-visual in nature (i.e.: class libraries). Jeeeze, V1.1 of the framework and we are still doing things by hand.
Is there ANY WORKING example of doing this in VB.NET 2003 anywhere? I am not even trying to build a custom license provider yet. I just want to see the basic thing work first before I start trying to mess around with encrypting my lic files and all that.
| | | Reply: by:Michael Gray
| | | There is a section explaining all this (and more), in "Programming Microsoft Visual Basic.NET" Version 20003 by Francesco Balena. Microsoft Press. ISBN 0-7356-2059-8
You won't regret buying it, as it demystifies many other areas where the on-line documentation is "unhelpfull", to put it mildly.

I'm not really sure I understand what you'd do this for. Could you give a hint as to what you're trying to accomplish here?
>> (2) Can I get the name of the method that is currently running?
Either of these will get you the name of the currently executing method:
new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace().GetFrame(0).GetMethod().Name; System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod().Name;

Need to write a program that wakes up every 15 minutes and does something

Need to write a program that wakes up every 15 minutes and does something by: Just Me
| Need to write a program that wakes up every 15 minutes and does something.
I guess I could just create a Windows application and schedule it to run every 15 minutes.
Or I could have a program always in memory that uses a timer to activate it every 15 minutes.
1) Any suggestions?
2) Any example code if the way to go it to stay in memory?
3) Is 2 above what is called a service?
Thanks

1. Create a windows service 2. Check out Windows Service Components in docs. 3. Yes.
Note that strictly speaking a service has no user interface. I assume you reqiure no user interaction? Alos note the difference in timers for Windows forms and server timers. Two different classes that have different benefits/disadvantages. You want server timers.
The choice of activation method is entirely dependant on what your doing, how the user is affected/ivloved in the rocess/if there is a user at all. If there is a user - dont use a windows service.

Adding an object as a node to TreeView

Adding an object as a node to TreeView by:Paul McKenna
| Hello
I have a treeview control on my form. The nodes of this tree are populated with values from an XML file. Is there a way by which I could bind objects to the tree instead of simple strings?

| | | Reply: by:Paul McKenna
| | | Thank you very much. Exactly what I was looking for.
I have another question and this one is perplexing me!
As mentioned earlier, I am reading data from an XML into a dataset and then transforming this dataset into the Tree. Something strange happends when I read data from the XML into the dataset. I would assume that the column names in the dataset would simply be the same as the tag names in the XML but instead they are appended with "_Text".
Here is the code: Dim io_XMLStream As New FileStream(str_Path, IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim xml_XMLReader As New XmlTextReader(io_XMLStream)
ds_XML.ReadXml(xml_XMLReader)
And the column names are populated as "c1_Text". The "_Text" part is confusing me.. where did it come from? Is there anyway to avoid that?
Thanks in advance
| | | Reply: by:Cor Ligthert
| | | Hi Paul,
You took this probably from the documentation.
> Dim io_XMLStream As New FileStream(str_Path, IO.FileMode.Open) > Dim xml_XMLReader As New XmlTextReader(io_XMLStream) > ds_XML.ReadXml(xml_XMLReader)
You can delete the two first rows and just do ds_XML.ReadXML(strpath)
Your columnnames are Ds.tables(0).datacolumn(0).columnname.tostring 'first columnname
I hope this helps?

DateDiff and Javascript .getTime methods

Can anyone help me on this. here is the code i used. From reading i also seen that the getTime time starts on 01/01/1970 12am. I need to have this in Millsecond.
VB.net Code: Dim days As Long Dim date1970 As Date = "#1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM#" Dim datenow As Date = Date.Now Dim mseconds As Long = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000
days = DateDiff(DateInterval.DayOfYear, date1970, datenow) days = days * mseconds Label1.Text = days
Output:
6/6/2004 10:02:35 AM 1086480000000
JavaScript Code:
var uniquej = new Date(); var uniquei = "?"+uniquej.getTime();
document.write(uniquej) document.write("<br>") document.write(uniquei)
Output: Sun Jun 6 10:00:20 PDT 2004 ?1086541220672
The outputs are almost the same, but i need them to the same. Is there a way to run that javascript code in vb.net and just pass the value back a variable?

Try putting Option Strict On at the top of your code module - it helps with getting the right datatypes. ________________________________________ The Grim Reaper

Efficacy of User Interface Design
Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:
Efficacy of User Interface Design by:zlst
| Many technological innovations rely upon User Interface Design to elevate their technical complexity to a usable product. Technology alone may not win user acceptance and subsequent marketability. The User Experience, or how the user experiences the end product, is the key to acceptance. And that is where User Interface Design enters the design process. While product engineers focus on the technology, usability specialists focus on the user interface. For greatest efficiency and cost effectiveness, this working relationship should be maintained from the start of a project to its rollout.
When applied to computer software, User Interface Design is also known as Human-Computer Interface or HCI. While people often think of Interface Design in terms of computers, it also refers to many products where the user interacts with controls or displays. Military aircraft, vehicles, airports, audio equipment, and computer peripherals, are a few products that extensively apply User Interface Design.
Optimized User Interface Design requires a systematic approach to the design process. But, to ensure optimum performance, Usability Testing is required. This empirical testing permits na?ve users to provide data about what does work as anticipated and what does not work. Only after the resulting repairs are made can a product be deemed to have a user optimized interface.
The importance of good User Interface Design can be the difference between product acceptance and rejection in the marketplace. If end-users feel it is not easy to learn, not easy to use, or too cumbersome, an otherwise excellent product could fail. Good User Interface Design can make a product easy to understand and use, which results in greater user acceptance.

| | | I'm not sure what RichTextBox you're using. The .Net one and the VB6 one don't support regular expressions. Neither has a FindTextStart method either.

| | | Your right. I should have asked if the ITextDocument interface on the DLL the RichTextBox is built on supports regular expressions (what version of the underlying control is used?).
Is there any problem using the tom interface with a RichTextBox handle? Seems to work Ok.
Also, why are there no events shown in the IDE for DragDrop.
Thanks a lot

VB and unicode by:FE-FR
| Hi,
I would like to know if I can display unicode characters with VB6. For example with a Label or textbox control.
If it is not possible directly, are there anu workaround ? APIs, ...
Thanks for your help

| | | Hi FE,
I do not know it that is possible, however maybe they know it in a VB 6 newsgroup, there are a lot. This is VB.net a language newsgroup. that language can be used with upgraded VB6 code, however with that is all said about it.
I think you have a better change on an answer in
microsoft.public.dotnet.vb*
I hope you find your answer there.
