You have using System.Data.SqlClient but you don't have using System.Data at the top - therefore you will have to fully qualify DataSet, CommandType etc. (or add in the relevant using directive)

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;154009 might be worth a look then - it's VB 6 but shouldn't be too hard to convert to .Net

VB or C#?

What OS are they running on? If they are a normal user and the OS is NT4 or later then the user will not have permission to change the system time anyway - therefor if your app is running under their account then it won't either. Win2k and later come with time syncronisation built in anyway (it can be configured from the net time command).

Does it work if you use System.Data.DataSet ds = new System.Data.DataSet(); also could you paste your using statements here - I noticed in your original post they were in lower case - C# is case sensitive.

If Not (Me.cboBox1.Text = "" AndAlso Me.cboBox2 = "") Then .... Code End If

Have you added a reference to system.data.dll?

Whoops the one I posted would only work for a windows app - the older article you refered to in your PM was also for a windows control - I didn't look at the forum before I posted :-\ To do this in a web browser would probably require some client side javascript to work.

Delphi may or may not have been a better language - never used delphi myself but I have heard good things about it. However many people have made software in VB6 that has been a sucess (both in terms of functionality and comercially i.e. the developers made a living from the software). I am not saying this isn't true of Delphi just that it happened to VB developers. I myself have met many talented and intellegent VB developers who most certainly did understand how to program, the benefits of a good design and OO principles - these are not skill exclusive to Delphi programmers. I do feel however that you attitude has definately been perceived as arrogant and abrasive without any provacation whatsoever. As Divil pointed out before you seem to be intent on insulting the majority of board members in a short a period of time as possible and as such have hardly earned the respect of the community here. This attitude along with inaccutate comments about languages and then tagging requests for help at the end of a long unrelated thread is probably not going to get you the answers you seek.... However in a show of goodwill have you looked here in this forum's code library for an example of how to use aspx pages and templates?

You probably need to use the literal's (or label's) .Text property rather than the control itself.

You may want to investigate the DataList control, it allows you a lot of control over how data is display - including what controls to use. Creating a lDataList that contained a checkbox would be a fairly simple matter.

I think techmanbd meant to say "SELECT * FROM Drawings WHERE '" & strSearch & " LIKE '%" & txtSearch.Text & "%'" notice the ' has moved near the LIKE keyword. Also this is a very inefficient way of searching tables. I Going back to your original post - are you sure you are putting in exactly the same text as is in the DB? Also are you sure you are querying the correct field (made that mistake myself before now)

VS.Net has drag and drop support for page development, support for CSS, provides an HTML editor etc. What on earth does the 'built-in HTML designer' in Frontpage do that VS.Net doesn't?

Too be honest the upgrade wizard isn't worth the time and effort it takes to run, search these forums and you will find very few people with anything good to say about it.

Could you post some code? How are you trying to get text into the textbox? How is the listbox being populated etc?

I do find TopStyle to be a very nice tool if you are working with CSS though.

You may want to investigate the CurrencyManager class, that will allow you to use an absolute position within a bound datasource

You don't get support for Classlibraries with the standard edition of VB.Net. Not unless you look here and then thank Derek ;)

Interfaces allow a framework to provide placeholders / plug in mechanism when the framework knows what functionality is required but not how a given class needs to implement it. e.g. Have a look at Array.Sort and the IComparable interface.

A return statements exits the function and passes the value back to the calling routine in one statement. you may fine these handy though link 1 and link 2

Is there a reason why inputH, inputS and inputL are declared single? I was always under the impression that these are integer values.

Bytes can only contain a value between 0 and 255, anything bigger will result in an overflow.

You could also do somethnig like Array.Sort(myarray) max_grade = myarray(100) min_grade = myarray(0)
