I seek an internal end of module to a program which is used to block this program during a time of use. Can somebody give some to me?
Thanks

This doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. You're looking for code to do what?

Hello,
I tried to search 'the net', but all i can find is C++ code. I don't understand C++, so you know. I need to disable my Secondairy Master/Slave (which are my DVD and CD drive). Could someone give me a hint? Or perhaps a little code, my tagret is to disable and enable my Cd-rom drives with just executing my program.
Much appreciated!

Do You want to "Lock the tray's from opening and closing" ?

I recently bought a MSDN Visual Studio 2005 Professional Subscription and I am trying to learn VB.NET, specifically how to do use the ADO.NET stuff for database operations.
I have bought a reference book titled “Beginning VB.NET 2003” and I’m trying out this example:
'Import Data and SqlClient namespaces
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim objConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local);database=pubs;user id=sa;password=")
Dim objDataAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter()
Dim objDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet()
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Set the SelectCommand properties...
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand()
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection = objConnection
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = _
"SELECT au_lname, au_fname, title, price " & _
"FROM authors " & _
"JOIN titleauthor on authors.au_id = titleauthor.au_id " & _
"JOIN titles ON titleauthor.title_id = titles.title_id " & _
"ORDER BY au_lname, au_fname"
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
'Open the database connection...
objConnection.Open()
'Fill the DataSet object with data...
objDataAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "authors")
'Close the database connection
objConnection.Close()
'Set the DataGrid properties to bind it to our data...
grdAuthorTitles.DataSource = objDataSet
grdAuthorTitles.DataMember = "authors"
'Cleanup
objDataAdapter = Nothing
objConnection = Nothing
End Sub
End Class
I’m getting an error on this line:
Dim objConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("server=(local);database=pubs;user id=sa;password=")
The SqlConnection statement after the New is giving me the error “Type ‘SqlConnection’ is not defined.”
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? The contructor for the data operations are imported at the beginning of the project. I have no idea what is wrong, or how to correct it.
Thank you,
Quecumber256

The namespace imported is correct so you might want to check whether the project has a reference to System.Data (System.Data.dll). If there is none, just add a reference to it by going to Project > Add Reference (if you are using Visual Studio) and choose System.Data or System.Data.SqlClient.
Or, if it still doesn't work, try typing the fullname of SqlConnection class (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection) instead.
Hope that helps.

Hi Edbert,
Doesn't the Imports System.Data and Imports System.Data.SqlClient take care of this for you? The code I included in the question is exactly like that in the Beginning VB.NET 2003 referance book. There where no instructions in the 'Try-it-out' to add such a referance.
Thank you,
Quecumber256

Did you use the VS2003 provided by the book?
It might be that the VS2003 version is an older one, therefore you might want to try System.Data.Sql instead of System.Data.SqlClient.
I'm quite sure it's a namespace problem, so check that you have added the correct references and imported the correct namespace (use the intellisense).
Otherwise, try Resharper[^]. It usually finds the correct class and namespace for you to use.

If your OS is WinXP, you should wait for SP4. For the rest of windows OSes, a simple reboot should solve your problems. If you code for Vista, my advice is to wait for the release version, don't spend much time checking weird bugs which can occur in betas.

The "other process" is probably your own app. I'm guessing that you loaded the image into a PictureBox using a FromFile method?
When you load an image using the FromFile method, the file is locked and stays open for the life of the Image object. You can find a workaround for this little "feature" here[^] on MSDN.

Hi,
I have 2 datagrids: order and orderDetail
I also have a dataset with 2 tables (order & orderDetail) and a relation between them
the order-datagrid is bind to the order-table in my dataset.
The orderDetail-datagrid is bind to the relation between the 2 tables.
So when I click on a row in the order-datagrid, the orderDetail-datagrid will automatically display the corresponding detail-records.
When I select a row in the Order-datagrid by using code:
dgOrder.select(rowNumber)
The orderDetail-datagrid does NOT display the detail of the newly selected order, he keeps displaying the detail of the previous selected order.
Does anyone know how i can achieve, that the orderDetail-datagrid is refreshed with the detail of the order that was selected by code.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks in advance
John
