If you mean when you startup your computer, edit the registry, inserting a new key at CurrentUser -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows - > CurrentVersion -> Run

http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/registry_with_vb.asp

If you mean after the user starts the 'My Computer' application, this is difficult. Because My Computer runs within the explorer application (a.k.a. the taskbar) it is hard to detect it being opened, perhaps impossible. Unless your program was to edit the registry key that sets explorer to start a new process, then monitor the processes for the occurence of a new instance of explorer.exe.

Help! Reading Unicode Problem

Hi,

Once again, after solving one of the problem which i posted earlier on, another raise up.

I use this command File.ReadAllText to open and read up a unicode file.

I got this problem that when I wrote the unicode file using a commerical program, the output file and the program that I opened up have the same character.

When I creating my own unicode program, what I got from the output file is totally different from my program retrieved.

Example:

I got in my output file is "ÿÿ" and it should read into my program's array as characters(0) = "ÿ" and character(1) = "ÿ". But what i got from my output to my program's array as characters(0) = chinese character, mouth and characters(1) = chinese character, mouth.

So help me! help me solve this problem of how to get the character separated or read in the way that characters(0) = "ÿ" and character(1) = "ÿ".

Thanks and Regards,
A person who do not know whether he is a newbie or a novice. Smile | :)

Which unicode encoding are you using?

If you can show some code, that would be helpful, as it seems that you are using the wrong encoding somewhere.

I already said, the SQL forum. It doesn't matter what language you use to write your code in. The technology you're asking about is MS Reporting Services, which is part of SQL Server.

If you were asking about ASP.NET Web Form, I'd tell you to ask in the ASP.NET forum as well, regardless of the language you're using to write your code.

using datagrid

Rharzkie13-Jul-07 22:55

13-Jul-07 22:55

is it possible for a single datagrid to view different tables?

is it possible that it will only view some of the contents in a database, then another contents again if i will search another?

For example, i will search the subject "Theology", then all the students who enroll in that subject will be viewed in the datagrid. Then, again, i will search the subject "Social Science", all the students who enrolles in 'Social science" will be viewed. Is it possible for the datagrid???

Dave Kreskowiak14-Jul-07 3:26

Of course it would. All you have to do is rebind the DataGrid to the new DataTable result of the search.

ok, i already know how, I saw the process and the codes in the internet...i used the "DISTINCT" in the query builder in Data Configuration Wizard... Then i put this codes in the search button:

OleDbDataAdapter2.SelectCommand.Parameters("subject").Value = ComboBox1.Text<br />
DataSet21.Clear()<br />
OleDbDataAdapter2.Fill(DataSet21)<br />

but how, if i will going to put the codes in the combobox? Because what i want is if i will going to select a subject in the combobox, the students who enroll in that subject will automatically displayed in the datagrid without clicking the search button... Where i will going to put the codes above?

You could get all the records of the student participation and use a DataView to bind to the datagridview.

Then simply changing the rowfilter on the dataview will achieve the same thing.

I recommend to create an Index for your friends, where you can store all the data of your friends (Names, phones, mails, addresses, etc...)
Enable search for records by any fields
Enable sending mails
Enable reminder of birthday
Enable ..... whatever makes-up your experience and skills

I got familiar with DataBase by such a simple application

Interesting, is VB.NET the only language you learned in your course ?

The obvious thing is, think of some data you'd like to keep track of ( phone books, videos, CDs, recipes, whatever ) and then write it. Be sure to understand what a normalised database is before you start.

I am amazed at how many students say this. You're all going to fail, or barely pass. The people with good marks say things like 'I want a challenging project where I will learn new things and impress my teachers'. They're the people I would hire, also.

I agree. If some interviewer asks to see previous work done, I feel the interviewee should show a project that has a good degree of challenge to it. It would then show how skilled the interviewee is, and open up the interview to a potentially meaningful dialogue.
