I don't know of any 3rd party controls for this.
The WebProxy class in the .NET Framework 2.0 will NOT modify the system proxy settings. It will return a COPY of them though, which you can then modify for use in your own app. Don't get any cute ideas. The WebProxy class does NOT work with the WebBrowser class. It will only work with classes that are derived from the WebRequestclass, like HttpRequest.
You can either modify Internet Explorers proxy settings through the WinHttp API function WinHttpSetDefaultProxyConfiguration[^]. I do NOT recommend doing this, since it changes the proxy settings system wide!! ANY browser window that is open will have these new settings applied to it!!

I have a couple of data tables that need to be integral to my project. While creating the project I read and write them from SQL databases. I'm worried that when I deploy the project the tables will be potentially unavailable to the user. Is there a preferred way to make the tables an integral part of the project itself? All editing of the tables is done through the project.

If you're reading/writing this data to SQL Server, you could ship SQL Express with your app and keep the data in that. You wouldn't have to change very much code to keep it working. You're only other option is to save the data in local files, probably XML files or an Access database. But this option would require rewriting more of your code.

Thanks Dave.
XML seems like a good option for me, but I cannot find information on how to bind an XML file to a datagrid. Can you or anyone help?
Thanks again!

You don't. You bind it to a DataSet just like you do now with reading the data from SQL. The only difference is you use the DataSet class' ReadXml method to get the data. This is just one of the .ReadXml()[^] method overloads:
Dim newDataSet As New DataSet
newDataSet.ReadXml(filepath)
To save it back out, it's just as easy:
newDataSet.WriteXml(filepath, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)

Thanks again!
Sorry to be a pain, but can you help me with the translation? I'm used to using SQL datasets that have tables:
TickersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DataSet1.Tickers)
TickersTableAdapter.Update(Me.DataSet1.Tickers)
DataSet1.Tables("Tickers").Select(TDataToGet)
Etc.
Following your instructions, I can read the xml dataset file from disk:
Dim TickersDataSet As New DataSet
TickersDataSet.ReadXml("c:\tickers.xml")
But then how to I get it into a format that I can operate on? Can I make that .xml dataset have tables?

Yes. You have to define the .XSD files (XML Schema) which will define the tables and their fields.
The code you posted is VB.NET 2005 code. The two TableAdapter statements just retrieve data from an SQL table and places it in a DataSet object, and writes any changes back to the source table.
Which version of VB.NET are you using?

I'm using vb.net 2005 -- the freeware. Right, what I need to try to do is to treat the .xml file the same way I've been treating the sql file. The idea is to avoid the connection string, and potential problems that could occur with it during deployment. My tables are not at all big.
thank you!

OK, thanks to your help I managed to get rid of my sql connections and now read and write directly to and from xml files. However, when I do an xmlwrite, the rows keep getting added to the file rather than replaced. I'm tempted to just erase the file and rewrite it each time. But a better solution might be to create a primary key.
Could someone help me with how to tell an xml dataset that a column is the primary key? Do I need to use an xml schema for this?
Thanks!

I would like to know if there is a way to populate the combo box in VB 6 using data from a certain table's field. for example i have a form that holds employee details but i also want to pick department code from another table how do i go about it?
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way is to make sure that you join both tables in your SQL statement, so you can loop through the records returned and fill it right away.
Otherwise, you have to loop through the parent records, and find the value of the department code (by looping) in the other records.

HI
i have an image stored with only solid colors
i want to know color percentage of each color in the image
can u help me how to do it
piyush

YOu can look at my image processing articles for how to read the pixels of an image directly. VB.NET cannot do this, you'd have to do it in C#. The (slow) alternative is to use the GetPixel method. Then you can either work out the shapes that are the same color, or count colors, depending on how complex the shapes are.

I've got what should be an easy question, but I can't find the correct combination in VB.NET.
I have a drop down list of numbers in a combo box. When I leave the form, I want to know which number was chosen.
NumSamp.SelectedIndex()
tells me which index I've chosen, but I can't get the integer or text value of the entry.
NumSamp.SelectedText() or NumSamp.SelectedValue() both come back as nothing.
There must be an easy way to get the value of the chosen entry, but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks,
Ilan

why can't you use
Request.form("id of combobox").value
it returns index of number selected by user when he leaves the form
use
document.all("idofcombobox").value in javascript for same value without post back form
|
|
|
|

Visual Basic doesn't understand "Request" and since I've never used it, neither do I.
While I'm still in the form, I have the combo box. It is called NumSamp.
It seems to me that I ought to be able to query NumSamp in some easy way to find out which value in a list of values was chosen.
In fact, NumSamp.SelectedIndex() gives me the correct offset in the list of values. I'm just missing the next step: given the index, what is the value of the entry?
Thanks,
Ilan

NumSamp.SelectedIndex.value
will solve your problem

Thanks for your kind answer.

Use NumSamp.SelectedItem. If you're coding with Option Strict On use the .ToString() method as well.
Sample
Private Sub Button1_Click(...) Handles Button1.Click
'pass value of selected item to Form2
Dim frm2 As New Form2
frm2.Text = Me.ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
frm2.Show()
End Sub
|

Thanks,
It was under my nose all the time and somehow I missed it.
As I expected, it is really easy.
