Meaningless considering your code would do anything at all without it. Your getting this exception (whatever it is, you've never told us!) because the .Fill statement goes to open the connection to the database and it fails. This is because the connection string is so screwed up. BTW: The Jet Provider doesn't understand "Initial Catalog"! That's for SQL Server providers!

I can't find a VB.NET example, but there is a C# example here[^] on CP. This could be converted to VB.NET with some work...

I'm trying to read the Windows Registry and have been successful up to the point where I have to get a value other than type string. I know the key or at least I think the key is to use GetType(). I've looked at the GetType() under help but can not see an example on how to use it to determine if a Registry Value Name is what type. Here is a snippet of what I have been using to get the regvaluename of type string:
Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
Dim SubKey As String
Dim RegValueName As String
Dim RegValueData As String
RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(SubKey, False)
RegValueData = RegKey.GetValue(RegValueName)
Now I understand that the problem is with "RegValueData" and its type but how do I change the code around so that this will work with data other than type "string"
Thanx in advance for any help/guidance into the right direction.

GetType will return the type of the returned value, not the Registry Type. GetType can't tell that the value you read is REG_SZ or REG_BINARY. The Registry calss is a bit limited as it does conversions to standard types for you ( ) that in some cases are completely useless. The registry type that is stored is "interpreted" based of the value type information that is passed in
Note: When setting a value, the way in which the value being
passed is stored in the registry is interpreted. There is no way to control
whether the information being passed is stored as an sz, or an expanded_sz
string, and therefore, all string values are interpreted as standard sz
values.
Microsoft insist on doing this to make the Registry easier to handle, but IMHO, you get less control over exactly what REG type it used for some values.

Dim myConnection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection
myConnection.ConnectionString = connString
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from tblDevices", myConnection)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet
da.Fill(ds, "tblDevices")
Dim dv As DataView = ds.Tables("tblDevices").DefaultView
DataGrid1.DataSource = dv
code for deleting
Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\db1.mdb"
Dim myConnection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
myConnection.ConnectionString = connString
myConnection.Open()
Dim mySelectText As String = "Select * from tblDevices"
Dim myDataAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(mySelectText, myConnection)
myDataAdapter.DeleteCommand = New OleDbCommand("DELETE FROM tblDevices WHERE Item= '" & tempDevice & "' AND Booked= '" & txtBookedBy.Text & "' AND Date= '" & txtDate.Text & "' AND Time= '" & txtTime.Text & " '", myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection)

Hello,
I have several forms where the country drop down is required. Instead of calling to load the country in each form, can someone show me a quick way of just calling it as a class from any form in order for the country code to not be redundant.
Thanks prog newbie.

dropDown.DataSource = Helpers.GetCountryList ? Of course, you need to write the Helper class as well.
Or just create a control. This site probably has one.

You're going to have to show us what you're talking about, because, in general, there is no way to do that in NT/XP. What's the link you were looking at?
Under Windows 95/98/Me, this was possible using RegisterServiceProcess, but this function is not supported under NT/2000/XP/2003.

Hi all,
How can I add a tooltip text to a command button ???
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
In VB6 you can use the property "ToolTipText".
In VB.Net you can use the "ToolTip" control from the toolbox, and then a "ToolTip on ToolTipName" property will appear in the button's property page.
I hope this helps,

Hi all,
I have written this code........
On form1
button_click(........)handles......
dim f2 as form2
me.hide
f2.show
On form2
button_click(........)handles......
dim f3 as form3
me.hide
f3.show
Now on form3 I want to close form1.
How should I proceed ????

If Form1 is your startup object, you can't. If you close the startup object, you'll close your entire application.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I just wanted to know how can I close a form from any other form ?
Hope you will again help me.
Thanks !

Well, any forms spawned by Form1 will not know Form1 even exists, so there is no easy direct way to close any other form. You get around this problem adding a public field to your child forms where, when created, you pass a reference from the parent form to the child:
Dim myForm2 As New Form2
myForm2.ParentForm = Me
myForm2.Show()
Form2...
Public Class Form2
Public ParentForm As Form
Now, a new problem exists. If your child form tries to close it's parent, it's essentially killing itself in the process. Since the childs parent hold the only existing reference to the child, killing the parent kills the reference, which in turn kills the child.
So, the best method of having a form kill off any other form is to let the parent form manage all other open forms. Say if Form2 need to open Form3, Form2 would call back to Form1 (remember the reference from above?) to tell it to create Form3. Now, Form3 can also call be to Form1 to have it kill off Form2.
