Yep they are bound to datasets.

Thnx...I'll look these up. I have been reading up on PSP 8 funny enough and liked what I read:)

I have four combo boxes that are populated from a dataset. When a customer is selected the forms controls are populated with the customers data and the combo boxes are set like this: Me.cboRegion.Text = m_Customer.Region All works OK until I make a change and save the customer detail then this happens; Reselect customer all combo box texts are blank Select another customer some combo box text are blank Select another customer all combo box text are ok Reselct my first customer all combo box text are ok I have checked the m_Customer properties and they have the correct data in them, it just does not seem to display to the combo box text? Well sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't??

Sometimes it is far quicker to ask the forum than to drudge through the help. I do look through the help a lot but then again a lot of the times you get passed from pillar to post so many times you end up forgetting what it was you were originally looking for:) I think .NET is fandabbydosey, yes it does make life so much easier and hey why not.....why reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done it....use it :) Apart from ripping of games that is....comon Liu ya could have at least changed the splash screen or somthing:)

I had a good chat with wryd re graphics packages and thought I'd ask the forum for some wider feedback. Back in '95 when I wrote my space invader game I used a dos based Neo application to draw the graphics. Being able to zoom in helped me to create a reasonable spaceship, nothing fancey tho:( I hope to move into the realms of wryd's sharpinvader game and as such need a good 3D package and drawing package. NOTE: I'm crap at drawing, so need something that will hold my hand along the learning road:) Wryd said he used Bryce. I have read the views on Bryce 5.0 on amazon.co.uk which is very positive especially for the beginner! There is also a CD training package for it. I have downloaded a number of freeware 3D and drawing packages from the web but although they seem feature rich they lack documentation aimed at a novice. So my fellow dot netters........can you help me with your wealth of wisdom:)

OK, I'll give this a whirl to see what happens, thnx:)

I obviously forgot about this and have now got caught out by it again:( Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Sorted:) Ta muchly:):)

I have this problem which happens on four different computers that I have access to and that occurs whether I use IE or Opera. If I click the search button on this site and perform the required search I get back the results which show multiple pages have been returned. However whenever I select any other page I always get page 1 displayed? I can never get to the other search results on the other pages? Any ideas site guys? This stops me from using the search facility which is a great shame:(

Ah....:) gotcha. All I need is to locate and return the datarow

Say I have a dataset with 10 rows which has been filled with all the rows pertaining to a particular customer. I then want to search these 10 rows to find the row that has a particular order id, or a particular name etc. I've never used a dataview so am lost on that at the mo?

Thanks. Not sure a dataview would be the answer though. I have just found a method in the rows method called Find which may be what I'm after. I shall have a play and see:)

I'm using a temp machine while mine is in repair and do not have any help installed:( If I have a dataset with say 10 rows is there a way to search the dataset for a row with a given value, something like the old seek method used in VBA? Surely I don't have to code to cycle through each row myself do I??

you can create xml with notepad etc as long as the format is good. Look at any xml file to see how the layout works or use the VS.NET IDE to create an xml file so you can see it that way

Try using the String.Split method on the text that the user enters to get at the bits you want

It is a confirmed bug, was present in VS 2002 and also now in VS2003. The workaround is to modify the tabcontrols add range line of code in the Windows Designer code. This has been mentioned before somewhere on this site, I know this as it was me:) Can't find the post to detail the exact code line, but if you scroll down you should find it easy enough. Justy looking at VS 2003 though the range line is not there? Try ordereing the code which adds each tabpage to how you want them.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you should not be using an API call in .NET. You should use the Framework to provide you with what you want. I haven't looked into this but there must be ready made classes provided by .NET to allow such programming

Can't you just declare control2 as control1?

I think the print dialog box you are refereing to is the Windows built in print dialog box and not part of the CrystalReportViewer control. I am not sure that you can access that from within your application unless you do some background window wizardry... I'm sure if I'm wrong someone out there will correct me:)

OK, when you say hide what do you mean? I use the Window menu option to switch windows

I use many MDI forms as you are trying and don't get this problem. I have the border set to FixedDialog.

Well don't know if this will help you but if you use the PrintToPrinter method you get the option to set number of copies, start page no etc. :)

Wyrd...... U is on my Xmas card list:) I've been banging my head against a wall trying to suss this!! Thank you indeedy:):):)

In Access I have a query that groups customer and itemid. This query is then used in another query with a left join into the item table. The query returns a list of items that the customer has not already ordered. Question is how do I do this in code to use a dataadapter to populate a combobox. I'm trying to do this.... Select a customer, display only items they haven't ordered. Any ideas:confused:

you need to be more specific. What are the errors they are getting?
