do you have access to SQL Server or MSDE ??
if yes try this in a stored procedure..
declare @command varchar(1000)
-- delete a file on the C drive
SELECT @command = 'del C:\Test.txt'
-- execute DOS command
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @command
that should do it

Ok, I need to know how to Convert a Number to a BIG/LITTLE ENDIAN Number and also how to do "Left / Right Shifts" (i.e. in C++ / C# "5 << 16") in VB.NET or VB6. Anyone know how?

Hi,
Read this aticle of new version of VB.NET 2003, "Shifting to the Left or the Right" point:

Thanks! Good functions!
Basically I wanted to know how to "Left / Right Shift" a number but the above functions will also come in handy. I will Post here how to do Shifts.
To Right Shift, simply Divide by (2 ^ [No of Bits]). For example, to Right Shift 16Bits:
Public Function ShiftRight(ByVal Value as Long) As Long
Return (Value / (2 ^ 16))
End Function
To Left Shift, simply do the opposite and Multiply by (2 ^ [No of Bits]).
Public Function ShiftLeft(ByVal Value as Long) As Long
Return (Value * (2 ^ 16))
End Function
The good news is that in VB.NET 2003, the Left / Right Shift operators will become standard. So now the above Functions would be simplified like this:
Public Function ShiftLeft(ByVal Value as Long) As Long
Return (Value << 16)
End Function
Of course, you really wouldn't need a Function for it anymore in .NET 2003!

I know MS (FINALLY) added in lazy evaluation versions of And (AndAlso) and Or (OrElse). Have they perchance introduced a lazy eval version of the ternary-operator function (Iif)?
Thats one thing i sorely miss from the C/Java world is the nice ?: operator. Iif can sort of emulate it, but Iif always evaluates both conditions (true AND false)... where as the ?: one only evaluates which ever one is selected by the condition. The Non-Lazy Iif is all but useless for the most very simplest simplest basic cases.
Thanks in advance

I suspect Iif is implemented as a function. See, the worst thing about Iif is that it return an object, and if Option Strict is On, you'll need to cast, even if both types are correct.

Ha! That's not the worst thing about "IIF". The worst thing is that it tries to Evaluate both Expressions before returning a Value. What it should do is only Evaluate the Expression and then Return the Value that is absolutely neccessary! For example, you can never do this:
Dim MyObject As Object = Nothing
rsData.Fields("MyField").Value = IIF(IsNothing(MyObject), "", MyObject.Name)
This will always give you an Error because MyObject is nothing when it tries to Evaluate "MyObject.Name". So I ask...why does it do that? 
|
|
|
|

Because IIf is not an operator, it's a function, defined like this:
Function IIf(Byval x as boolean, Byval o1 as object, Byval o2 as object) as Object
If x then
Return o1
Else
Return o2
End if
End Function
See?

We have an Access database that is used here at my company. We have references to Microsoft Word and Excel. The problem is that not everyone here at the company has the same version of Word and Excel. Everyone has been told that they should not be doing developing work in the database, but people still are because the references to the libraries keep getting updated to different versions. We already have people entering in a log in, is there any way that I can detect (using code) when references get changed? Then I could link it back to the user and find out who is developing when they should not be. Thanks for your help!

No, your best best is to Code using "Late Binding" methods. All you have to do is get rid of your References when you are sure that the Code works, then Change every Variable to Type "Object". This way it will work no matter what Version of MS Office plus you can trap Errors to determine if Office is not installed.
For example:
On Error Goto ErrHandler
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application 'Error will Occur here when not installed
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
ErrHandler:
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
'Of course, determine the Correct Error Number for this...
MsgBox "Excel is not Installed!"
End If
Now, change it to this after removing all References to Excel:
On Error Goto ErrHandler
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") 'Error will Occur here when not installed
ErrHandler:
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
'Of course, determine the Correct Error Number for this...
MsgBox "Excel is not Installed!"
End If

I all,
I want to convert a structure from VB to VB.NET and I don´t know how specify the max length of an string...
Sample VB 6.0:
------------------------------------
Public Type YY
XX As String * 10
End Type
-------------------------------------
Code in VB 7.0:
------------------------------------
Structure YY

End Structure
-------------------------------------
Thanks all

Private Structure Test
<VBFixedString(25)> Dim MyString As String
End Structure

Ok, that didn't Format correctly at all! Try this:
Private Structure Test
<VBFixedString(25)> Dim MyString As String
End Structure

Ok thanks Mikasa, I found it in MSDN.

Hello,
Add a declaration of functions which has public scope(those which you want to use in your VB project). Or you can add the reference of your DLL in Project/Reference by choosing it.
Have fun.;)

Firstly, Thanks for your fast reply.
I´m a beginner in both lenguages, VB and English too.
So, i tried by the Reference method ,but i couldn´t do , because when i select the DLL VB show me a message :"Can´t add the reference to the specified File "
The DLL isn´t registred, Can be the problem?
how can i do the declaration?

Hi
You are using a simple dll, not a COM dll. When you are trying import a basic dll wihtout interface, you can´t reference using your VB tool development.
You need inport it by code.
VB.NET sample:
--------------------------------
<dllimport("libraryname.dll")> _
Public Shared Function FunctionName(ByRef Param1 As Integer, _
ByRef Param2 As String, _
ByVal Param3 As Integer) As Long
End Function
--------------------------------

I only want use a simple DLL from this example :http://www.codeproject.com/dll/BeginnerDLL.asp
But I don´t know how import the dll, and where i have to copy the dll (because i don´t want registrer it )
i´m so confused
