When you say adding, deleting and updating, do you mean changing the values in particular cells and worksheets?
Do you need to update formulas, delete entire rows or columns or applying formats to the cells. If you can give me a list of the functions you want to do I can tell you the specific code for them.

Sir,
I want the complete code for that what you mentioned.
If possible please send the code.
Thanks and regards

Are you happy with what I said above for creating the reference and setting the objects to create the Excel spreadsheet?
|
|
|
|

No problem.
Right click on References in the solutions explorer and select add reference.
Click on the COM tab and scroll down until you find "Microsoft Excel Object library". if there are a couple selcet the highest version. This will create a reference to the Excel library.
In your code create some variables below:-
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Create a variable that hold the path of the spreadsheet you want to open (xlFile)
Set the xl Variables
xlApp = CType(CreateObject("Excel.Application"), Excel.Application)
xlBook = CType(xlApp.Workbooks.Open(xlfile), Excel.Workbook)
xlSheet = CType(xlBook.Worksheets(1), Excel.Worksheet)
This will create the xlspreadsheet in the background. It will not be visable until you say "xlApp.Visible = True"
To put a value into a cell type
xlsheet.Cells(rowNumber, colNumber).Value = ......
To put in a formula Type
xlSheet.Cells(rowNumber, colNumber).Formula = "=A1 + B1" as you would in excel
To delete an entire row
xlSheet.Cells(rowNumber, colnumber).EntireRow.Delete(xlShiftUp)
To delete an entire column
xlSheet.Cells(rowNumber, colNumber).EntireColumn.Delete(xlShiftLeft or xlShiftRight)
To add a worksheet
Dim xlNewSheet as Excel.Worksheet
xlNewSheet = Ctype(xlBook.Worksheets.Add(), Excel.Worksheet)
To change the Name of a worksheet
xlSheet.Name = "My New Sheet"
Is there anything else you would like to do?

Hello All!!
I have created a windows service and the problem is when I log off my system account in which the service is currently running, the service stops. Why is this so? I want my service to run independent of my system account.
Thanx in advance

It stops because you have logged off and it was running under those credentials. Logging off destroyes the process under which all sub processes run so therefore your service dies.
If you want it to run regardless of the logged on user, you'll need to change the service properties so that it runs under the localservice userid etc..

This doesn't make any sense. A true service application runs regardless of who is logged in and it keeps running even if the user at the console logs off. Your description makes me think that you actually wrote a Windows application and are running it under the logged in user at the console, possibly out of the StartUp folder.

I am writing my first code in VB.NET and was doing quite well until now. Can someone please tell me how to implement the following.
Set dwData field to a value.
Set lpData to point to filename string
Set cbData to filename string length (add 1 for trailing zero)
I have read the article Single Instance App with Command-Line Parameters
By Richard Deeming wich gave me some ideas but its not quite doing what I hoped.
Cheers

smokepipes,
In richards code it is like this:
Line --- mMain.vb -- from TestSingleInstance By Richard Deeming
109 Dim CD As COPYDATASTRUCT
110 With CD
111 .dwData = 0 '<<-- sets "Value to zero"
112 .cbData = B.Length '<<-- sets "filename string length"
113 .lpData = lpB.ToInt32 '<<-- sets "pointer to "filename string" converted to an "integer 32"
114 End With
Adding "1 for trailing zero" to the "filename string length" would cause the function SendCDSToWindow, to fail.
"its not quite doing what I hoped" <<-- What did you hope it would do?

Thanks for the reply.
What I am trying to do is set up a data stream from another application(Flight Simulator). I have used the findwindow function in the win32 api and now I need to establish the connection to the Simulator to get data from and send data to the Simulator. I dont think that this is generaly what Richards code does but its the closest thing I could find. I have some code in c++ if it helps and I have tried to convert it but c++ doesnt mean a thing to me at the moment. I am still getting to grips with the basics of VB.NET
#include <windows.h>
#include "FlightSimLink.h"
const char* sFSMainClass = "FS98MAIN";
const LET_START_VIDEO_RECORDING = 0x0001B001;
const LET_STOP_VIDEO_RECORDING = 0x0001B002;
const LET_START_VIDEO_PLAYBACK = 0x0001B003;
const LET_STOP_VIDEO_PLAYBACK = 0x0001B004;
const char sFSHandleMagic[] = {'<', 'H', 'A', '>'};
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Construction/Destruction
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
CFlightSimLink::CFlightSimLink()
{
}
CFlightSimLink::~CFlightSimLink()
{
}
void CFlightSimLink::Tell(FS_ACTION action, const char* filename)
{
HWND hWnd = FindWindow (sFSMainClass, NULL);
if (!hWnd)
throw "FlightSim is not running";
COPYDATASTRUCT cpdata = {0, 0, 0};
switch (action) {
case FS_START_RECORD:
cpdata.dwData = LET_START_VIDEO_RECORDING;
cpdata.lpData = const_cast<char*>(filename);
cpdata.cbData = strlen (filename) + 1;
break;
case FS_STOP_RECORD:
cpdata.dwData = LET_STOP_VIDEO_RECORDING;
break;
case FS_START_PLAYBACK:
cpdata.dwData = LET_START_VIDEO_PLAYBACK;
cpdata.lpData = const_cast<char*>(filename);
cpdata.cbData = strlen (filename) + 1;
break;
case FS_STOP_PLAYBACK:
cpdata.dwData = LET_START_VIDEO_PLAYBACK;
break;
default:
throw false;
}
SendMessage (hWnd, WM_COPYDATA, (WPARAM)hWnd, (LPARAM)&cpdata);
}
void CFlightSimLink::Tell(FS_ACTION action, HANDLE handle)
{
char MagicName[sizeof (sFSHandleMagic)+8+8+1];
memcpy (MagicName, sFSHandleMagic, sizeof (sFSHandleMagic));
wsprintf (MagicName + sizeof (sFSHandleMagic), "%08.8X%08.8X", (DWORD)handle, GetCurrentProcessId ());
Tell (action, MagicName);
}
I hope this may shed some light on what I am trying to do.
Cheers

I want to develop a software in VB.NET 2003 (windows form not web form) which check on internet on my website whether new pictures are available on my website & if new pics are available, download them to a specified folder on user comp (eg. c:\pics).
I got an idea of this by simply adding a text file on my website/webserver & whenever i add new pics, i also add its location (http://www...) in that text file (one pic's location on each line). And my program reads that text file to find out whether there are all files located in that text file present on user's comp (c:\pics).
So now anybody, please tell me with coding how can i do this. Tell me how to retrieve that text file & new pics through internet & also how can i read that text file & compare it with pics in user's comp. Please, anybody HELP!

i a vb express 2005 programming
i want to write a program to read a file and store contents file in a array.
eg :
i have a coba.txt file : abcdefgh
i want to make array baca_coba,
baca_coba(1) = a
baca_coba(2) = b
baca_coba(3) = c
baca_coba(4) = d
baca_coba(5) = e
...
i write program :
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
openFileDialog1.FileName = "F:\sementara\coba.txt"
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1
Dim encoding As System.Text.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.Default
Dim filen As New StreamReader(openFileDialog1.FileName, encoding)
Dim i As Integer
Dim baca_coba(),baca As string
For i = 1 To 10
baca = Int(filen.Read())
baca_coba(i) = chr(baca)
Next
but my program is error, how to make a program to this problem?
if i have a file with unknown unicode. how to write program to know
what type unicode from that file.
eg : from file baca_coba file above, when i click button, a message show with
information: BigEndian unicode

Why do you need an array to store each character? Just do:
Dim s as String = filen.ReadToEnd()
You can index the string as if it were a character array.

Put it in resource somekinda res type "Wav" File and extract it when form is loading
Dim S as string
S=strconv(LoadResData(ResouceID,ResourceType In Here EG:"Wav"),vbUnicode)
Get the function SndPlaySound From api viewer.
and At the form_Load
sndplaysound(s,SND_ASYNC or snd_memory);
like that.simple

Anyone got a simple way to get the duration(minutes and seconds) of a .MP3 file?
I notice in windows if you open a folder with .MP3 files in it and hit - VIEW - DETAILS, you will see the duration. Anyone know how to pull that into you program much like:
Dim fileData As FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Will give you just the FILENAME
- Coding is fun - plus Skittles and DEW!

I am using a datagrid on my Windows form to display records stored in a SQL Server database. When the form loads the datagrid is populated with the records. When I select an item in the datagrid the values are displayed in some text boxes. So when i select a different row in the datagrid the text boxes change accordingly. This part is fine.
I then have two buttons, Add and Delete. I use SQL statements to Add and Delete records. The SQL statements are fine and when I check the table in SQL Server the Addition or Deletion has been successful. The problem is refreshing my datagrid. If i close the form and open it again the datagrid reflects the changes, but i want it to refresh without closing and opening the form. The code for the Add button is as follows:
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
Dim Command As SqlCommand
Command = New SqlCommand("Insert into FitmentReasons(code,description, active) values ('" & txtCode.Text & "','" & txtDescription.Text & "','1')", gConn)
Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
txtCode.Clear()
txtDescription.Clear()
End Sub
