  1. is it possible to have a drop down combo box consisting of specified checkboxes in excel so that users can select a few options from a drop down box via check box? for example, i would like a cell to have a drop down box, which is a field that displays the qualifications a particular graduate holds, for example, a graduate might have BSc in IT and a BSc in Maths whereas another might have BSc in Maths and BEng in Civil Engineering, so there are a variety of combinations...is this possible? or how should this be achieved?
  2. okay, i have learnt that XML provides for interoperability capabilities... so would it be wise to utilise both XML and database access for different purposes for a same application?
  3. Is it possible to execute a file when someone double clicks or enters a folder in a windows directory? Say, in Windows 98 for example? Any code involved in doing this, if it is posisble?
  4. I am using Microsoft Excel 2000. Although this is a coding section, I just would like to know if it is possible, without the intervention of VBA, to have a combobox within a cell in an Excel sheet, so that the user can choose a pre-defined selection from a combobox list. Is this possible? (I am not referring to the "Right-click" & "choose Pick From List" as this gives a whole list of previously inserted information.)
  5. I have a question which i hope will not be deemed as a waste of time... XML data files VS Database files... which one to use?
  6. is it possible to execute or call a program written in C by a program written in .NET and data to be shared between these 2 programs?
  7. What are the considerations I need to be aware of in creating a firewall? Could someone advise me on what are the essentials needed for a firewall?
  8. I heard someone talking about .net speach technology does it exist? can we really use speech technology through .NET?
  9. hm.........interesting, ah man, means i'll have to get an XML book... okay, just another question, er.....are there any so called "guidelines" as to when i should use a relational database or when i should use XML files for storing data? which would be appropriate so i can decide...
  10. i see, okay, i am learning ASP.NET now, in the process, but was curious becoz many modern internet apps seem to involve hype about XML, so i also want to try it out, but wat can i use it for? in wat kind of applications then?
  11. i see, thanx man!
  12. becoz from wat i understnad from the explanations above, XML can be more efficient than normal relational databases... so in terms of developing an internet application, i'm not sure whether i should go ahead with ASP.NET or can i use 'em together? still undecided about it...is it advisable to use them together for the same webpage?
  13. How can I make an EXE file say from VB .NET like in VB 6?
  14. Can the .NET framework be used to write, modify or do other operations to Excel files like we could do in VBA using the old VIsual Basic? Are there any articles or tutorials which show how it's done in .NET?
  15. What is the difference between a cookie and a session as both can store values?
  16. hm.......wat would be your advice? XML or ASP.NET?
  17. What is the difference between a web application and a web service?
  18. i see...client side........er....asp.net is just for server side is it?
  19. i see, hm.......but using asp.net to connect to a database, would there still be any use for my program if i use XML? can these 2 be used together?
  20. also, u were saying derek stone, that without knowing the application i want to develop it's hard to decide, yeah, that's true... honestly, i really am unsure of what application to develop! i mainly want to pick up a language...my problem is that i am not a creative person, therefore i really do not know how i should make use of technologies even when i know what i can do with it... wat kind of applications would C# be more suited for?
  21. so if i just pick up XML, will it be of any use then if i don't use XSLT?
  22. i see, hm.......looks like i'll be picking up C# then...thank you fellas! anyway, C# uses the .NET framework right? Therefore, i can also create GUIs with C#? if i use C++.NET, can i create GUIs without relying on MFC? wat is ATL or STL?
  23. any reasons, is it better than C++ 6 and C++ .NET?
  24. sorry, i just tried, and understand wat u mean, but the result is only displayed only if i press submit button or shift the focus elsewhere...is there really no way of displaying the result for each letter typed for example?
  25. I am in a big big dilemma over which language i should use for my final year project... Which language would be suitable, VC++6.0 or VC++.NET? Which would be better or more applicable for the current market? Also, wat about C#? I really need opinions, I'm really finding it hard to decide...
