VS 2005 (VB.Net)

Is it possible to open a form by a string name without having to declare the form first ,

ie

normally you would
Dim SomeForm as New FormName
SomeForm.Show

What i wasnt yo do is create a dynamic form, and when the user clicks a button it open a corraspoinding form. As each user will have different 'buttons' on there forms i want to have a routine that i can parm a formname in as a string and it open the form.

ie
Dim FormName as String = 'SomeFormName'
FormName.Show

Any idea's Sniff | :^)

I really do need help..... all this computer stuff is way over my head !!

I do know thre is a way of doing this, as i have seen the code, just carnt remember it. The reason i want to do it this way is that there are a number of users that will be using this application, each one on them will have a 'main selection screen' which will have upwards of 20+ options. each option will open a new form. NOT all the operators will have the same options so rather than have a while load of code declaring every form, i just want a small simple routine.

I really do need help..... all this computer stuff is way over my head !!

we have an inhouse menu type application, when a operator logs onto the stytem , ihave a function that dynamicly creates the menu oprtions for this operator from there profile. ie in design tine the form is blank, but buttons ( options buttons ) , and click even handlers are generated for all the area's they are allowed to access. this info is held in a SQL2005 table
ie .. Operator 1 can access area's 1,2,3, and 4 so would have 4 buttons on screen , Operator 2 can only access area's 1 and 4 hance only has two buttons. As the buttons are dynamicly generated the indexes ( start at 0 ) are never the same. in the example above operator button index 1 would be for Area 2 where as for operator 2 it would be for area 4

i have a work round by Dimming every form and then using the button text in a case statement to determine which button was clicked, but that means every time i add a new form i have to remember to add it in the select case statement ...

If i can use the form name form the SQL table in a simple routine it will save endless pages of coding and i wont have tp remember to keep comming back to the master form and adding the reference in

its the simple idea's that prove to be the hardest !!

I really do need help..... all this computer stuff is way over my head !!

I'm planning on using inpout32.dll and I want to control some LEDs, but this is how i want todo it. Im using a program already that sets the bits on/off for the LEDs to be on/off.. Now in this new VB program I want to just turn off 1 of the LEDs of my choice and leave the others as-is. How would I do this? I don't know much about parallel port access. Thanks in advance

 Dim string 'filename you want to play with<br />
ResultingString = string.remove(string.indexof("."), string.length - string.indexof("."))

Alternatively:

Dim i As integer = string.indexof(".")<br />
Dim x as integer = string.length - i<br />
<br />
ResultingString = string.remove(i,x)

that did not make much sense, as i understand it you want the @ symbol and all after it removed. To do this, you can use the code i gave you, the second set of code. Just replace the "."code> with <code>"@". That should work. If this is not what you wanted, please take the time to carefully explain what you mean.

This is very easily done using the

class and its GetFileNameWithoutExtension method.
