I am using text boxes to enter names. If the text is entered in lower case letters i have put a line of code to change the first letter to upper case
txtName1.Text = Char.ToUpper(txtName1.Text.Chars(0)).ToString() + txtName1.Text.Substring(1)
like so. My problem is, suppose the name is double barreled like carly-anne
i can change the C to a capital but how do i change the second name "anne" to "Anne" 
Thanks from Zeldacat

My guess would be to look at the previous letter and convert the current letter to Upper Case if it is a ' ' or a '-'.

try:
Public Sub Replace(ByRef Text As String, ByVal Separator As String)
If Text.Contains(Separator) Then
Dim i As Integer
i = Text.IndexOf(Separator)
Text = Text.Insert(i + 1, Char.ToUpper(Text.Chars(i + 1)))
Text = Text.Remove(i + 2, 1)
End If
Text = Text.Insert(0, Char.ToUpper(Text.Chars(0)))
Text = Text.Remove(1, 1)
End Sub

I have a problem :
Description of problem:
When I use coding to copy a large file like 700MB to a different location. It takes upto 5 minutes. So I want to show some continues working Progress Bar.
But when it starts copy process all the activities hanged. No Progress bar visible at that time.
Please give any solution.

try
progressbarname.refresh
in loop that copies the file

Well, you've got a bit of a problem. Just putting a ProgressBar on a form doesn't do anything. You have to update it with, well, progress.
If you're using the File.Copy method, you'll never get that progress. It's a blocking call that doesn't report anything during the copy.
In order to make a progress bar work, you have to copy the file yourself using file stream methods. You know...open a file read some of it, write that to another file. Well, that's where you update the ProgressBar.
You get the size of the file first, start copying the file, track how much of the file you've copied and update the ProgressBar as you're copying the file.
Like the others have said, you can even move the copy operation to another thread so your UI stays responsive.

I am using vb.net 2005 and I would like to be able to pragmatically bring up a new Gmail compose window logged in to a gmail account that I will supply the username and password to and then fill the form out pragmatically including:
To field, CC field, BCC field, Body field with HTML text, add multiple attachments.
Has anybody done this or know of a component or URL protocol out there that I can accomplish specifically this with?
Best Regards,

Have you tried looking at the Google API. Most of Google's services use a standard set of API that a developer can use in their programs. However, they do impose limitations on at least the searches available with the searching API, and the developer must register to use the API.

If you are using SQL Server 2000, you can query table sysobjects.All user tables have the type column = 'U'
vincentkhoosiongleng wrote: I also want to retreive the fields name
You can query syscolumns based on the ids of the tables you retrieved from queyring sysobjects

Found a nice article here at CP written by Neil Yao that handles the docking and auto hiding. It's in C++ so you could convert it to vb or just us the dll. CAppBar[^]

Hey all,
I have the folling code to post data to a php page. However, I'd like to retreieve the response from this page after the posting and save it to a file. The response should just be plain-text XML. (IE, it'll echo out an XML file in plain text as the source). Is there a way to use something like the downloadstring(URL) on this AFTER posting up the data, in order to capture the response?
Thanks,
Mike

Why are u yelling, it can harm people?

Your probably didn't make one. It's one of those little quirks that doesn't have an explanation. Though, that may change with the release of SP1 for Visual Studio .NET 2005.

I would like to be able to know when a key is pressed within my application. I've been looking at different options and came across keyboard and mouse hooks. The examples I've seen (unfortunately for me written in c#) seem to only be for global hooks. I'm not interested in what happens outside of the program I'm writing, just when the program is active should it listen for a keypress. It would be nice if it didn't matter which control had the focus either. The idea is to create a commandline that becomes activated instantly when a certain key is pressed.
I'm not sure if hooks are the right direction to go for this or perhaps there is something simpler that I can use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

You don't need a global hook for this. All you have to do is set the Form's KeyPreview property to True, then handle the Form's KeyDown event. It'll give you all the keystrokes going to that form, even it's child controls, before the controls see the keystroke.

Hi,
Are there any good, methods of creating a routine in an application, making the application trialware, until a key code has been entered. Must stop application running after x uses or x days after original install date.
Thanks, Andrew Robinson.
