Hi Luc,
yes, I agree, your solution works. But you are opening the word application and you just set a new parent to the word main form.
My understanding of the question was, just to open the word document inside a vb.net form (or any other form). Richtextbox (or any other control) can not open a worddocument. So is seems to be impossible just to open a word document for display similar to a richtext file in a richtextcontrol.
regards,
bauer

So i have a basic idea of an application i want to build in my head. It involves having to add a menuitem to the Shell/Explorer ContextMenu of Windows. Here's how it should work.
1. On first time use, you are to install the menuitem by clicking a button. There's also an uninstall button to remove the menuitem from the shell contextmenu.
2. Then, once it's installed, this menuitem only shows up when you rightclick on one or more files with the .bsp file extension.
3. When you have one or more bsp files selected, you rightclick on one of them to make the contextmenu appear. From there, you click the new menuitem.
4. Then i want a form to show up with a listbox. This listbox should hold the full paths to the bsp files that the user had selected.
I got as far as point 3 and im stuck on point 4. How do i go about getting the paths of the selected bsp files into the listbox on that form?

Nobody knows? There must be way to get this to work.
Im able to retrieve commandline arguments using the %1 parameter, but if i select more than one bsp files and click the menuitem in the explorer contextmenu, Windows launches multiple instances of my application. I just want it to start once, and add the path of all the selected bsp files added to a listbox.
I've also tried the %2, %PATH% and %L parameters but none of them work.

Hi,
Earlier I used only Crystal reports. I never used any RDLC reports. Now I try to use it in VS2010.
As like usual I added one Dataset [xsd] and it contains Datatable1.
Now How can I use this Dataset1? & DataTable1.?
And from my program Button1_Click
Dim MyDtbl1 As New DataTable, NRow As DataRow
MyDtbl1.Columns.Add("one", Type.GetType("System.String"))
MyDtbl1.Columns.Add("two", Type.GetType("System.String"))
MyDtbl1.Columns.Add("three", Type.GetType("System.String"))
For J As Integer = 0 To 10
NRow = MyDtbl1.NewRow
MyDtbl1.Rows.Add(NRow)
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("one") = J + 1
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("two") = J.ToString
Select Case J
Case 0
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("three") = "zero"
Case 1
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("three") = "one"
Case 2
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("three") = "two"
Case 3
MyDtbl1.Rows(J).Item("three") = "three"
End Select
Next
ReportViewer1.Refresh()
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath = "C:\CodeProject\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\MyReportPjct\MyReportPjct\Report1.rdlc"
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DisplayName = ?????
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
Dim MyRptDtSource As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource
MyRptDtSource.Name = ???????????
MyRptDtSource.Value =???????????
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(??????)
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.Refresh()
ReportViewer1.Visible = True
Any Ideas For Me !!!
Thanks & Regards

Anyhow I found the answer and let it be useful to someone like me....
ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
Dime RpDs1 As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource
'Here We have to mention the actual Report's Dataset Name
RpDs1.Name="DataSet1"
RpDs1.Value=MyDtbl1
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportPath="C:\CodeProject\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\MyReportPjct\MyReportPjct\Report1.rdlc"
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
ReportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(RpDs1)
ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
ReportViewer1.Visible = True
Regards

Hello,
I was reading an artical and there was a line of syntax I hadn't seen
before and I'm curious what is it doing behind the scenes:
Dim v as single = 2293.22
Dim sh as short = New Short?(v)
Short doesn't have a constructor so how did the '?' allow it?
Thanks.
Nathan

Erik,
Re-looking it, it obviously has something to do with nullable types but do you have
any idea why declaring it as nullable allowed a constructor?
Thanks,
Nathan.

Yes, declaring a variable as Nullable(of T) is the same as using T?, where T would be the underlying value type, so for example:
Dim s as Nullable(Of Short)
Dim s as Short?
These two declarations are equivalent. The reason why you can use a constructor is just becouse Nullable(Of T) has one. Replacing Nullable(Of T) with the underlying T? does not change that fact. Here in spain just call it a "syntactical sugar".

Very helpful. Thank you for the explanation.

That's very interesting. I have never seen that either.

Hi,
Can anyone guy me on how to proceed in the simplest way how to incorporate a help section inside a small project using vb.net. What I mean is that on a form, there will be a help icon to explain to the user on how fill the form...I want that to show as a pop up window to the particular help question link resides inside a help file in the form of a word document.
Hope I am clear on my question..
Thanks in advance..

Thanks, I looked at the document it is not exactly what I want to do.
Snippet:
let's say the I am a registration form. I click on a help icon, it will explain on how to fill out the registration form thru a text document. this text document is like a user manual. for each help icon, it will take the user to its respective text in this document.
thanks again

Look at the discussion here[^]. It is in c#, but you should get an idea how to open a word document and go to a bookmark. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
I have a question. I'm working on a database, everything is working well but i have a problem with my search function.
I want to search between 2 dates. Start date & End date and also with some user information.
For example:
Name: John
Address: Flowerstreet 25
Startdate: 25/01/2011
Enddate: 28/01/2011
So i want find all records of John between 25 & 28 january.
This is my code, its not working well, because i get everything records that i dont want.
SQLquery = "Select * from Posts where firstname like '%" & firstname.Text & "%' and " _
& "address like '%" & address.Text & "%' and startdate between #" & startdate.Text & "# AND #" & enddate.Text & "# OR enddate between #" & startdate.Text & "# AND #" & enddate.Text & "#"
Its working but like i said, my results are not the one that i want.
Can anyone

First, stop using string concatentation to build your SQL query. Second, Google for "vb.net parameterized sql query" for examples on how to do this using parameter objects instead of building a string query.

Thank you for answering so quick.
Can you please tell me what you mean with string concatentation and can you show me a small example to do it better or just tell me what i have to look for. Or is it related to parameterized sql query?
Thank's again!

String concatentation is appending smaller string together to build a bigger one:
Dim x As String = "Part 1" & " Part 2"
This is as far as I'm going to go to give you examples: Click Me[^]
It's up to you to do the work to teach yourself something new.

You have a special concept of "working" then.
Here are some comments:
1.
you didn't provide some essential information, such as what database you are using, what the field types are, etc.
2.
if (I can't tell) you were to store dates as strings, that would not be smart as it makes things overly complex; a date in string format depends on culture. The general advice is to use the most specialized field type that matches your purpose.
3.
Your SQL statement is using whatever the user types in some TextBoxes; that is very dangerous. Read up on SQL Injection attacks, then start doing it the proper way:
- get the user data from the TextBoxes into properly typed variables (using SomeType.TryParse), which forces you to validate the input;
- construct an SQLCommand and use SQLParameter instances to provide variable data, such as the begin and end date.
It takes some more code than you have right now, however it is safe and won't suffer from regional settings problems which you may have right now.
[ADDED]
4.
As others have pointed out, you probably can't just have an OR operator in a complex WHERE clause without some parentheses; when in doubt, or just to make things absolutely clear, add parentheses and format your SQL statement so it reads more easily.

Thank you,
I have a access database. My startdate & enddate are date/time field types.
I will try to find more information about to use my sql query different.
Thank's
