• Visual Studio Express Editions sample project "addresses" database

  I just downloaded VB Express.   I am a beginner.  In the VBGuided Tour - managing your records, I tried the sample program "addresses" and the 3 addresses came up fine but I couldn't add any addresses to it.  I first hit the add button and blank text boxes came up, then I filled them in and hit the save button but nothing was saved.(that is when I closed the program and then ran it again just the original 3 addresses were there)  I read a few posts about this but now am more confused.  Can VB Express save data or not   If it can what code should be added to the sample project "addresses" so t ...Show All

• Visual C++ chr() equivalent in VC++

  can anybody tell abt the equivalent VB's chr() in VC++ There is no equvilant because a string is an array of characters and each charater itself is just a storage that holds a 8bit or 16bit value (UNICODE). So a character is just a number. So you can init an integer with a number like this: int i = 65: In the ASCII char set this is the letter A, so ots the same to write this: int i = 'A'; In formated output like printf you can add a char into an output stream: printf("This is my char %c\n",i); Where do you need this! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Iterating through text boxes using loops

  **This is copied / pasted from the "Language" forum. **Moderator please leave this post here and delete the other if necessary. I'm writing a program for class (so please don't help TOO much with the logic) but I'm not familiar with all I can do with VB yet.

The elevator needs to start at the first floor, go up, stop at each floor, fill to its capacity and go back down. It then "drops the people" off on the first floor. First ...Show All

• SQL Server Export from SQL To SQL Mobile

  Supposedly it is possible, but I can't figure it out... Simple - export data from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Mobile SDF. One would think to use the Export from SQL Server 2005, but no provider seems to exist. Or in VS 2005 - can't figure that either. Roger Euan, Thanks for your help. Now I run into the following: In the BIDS (you have to install this from the client tools for SQL Server 2005 BTW), I get several problems. First of all, In the VS2005 Server Explorer Data Connections, I am able to create an SQL Mobile connection, and mess around with the SDF, so at least something works.

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 5 to VB express ???

  Hi, I have a small program which was developed in VB 5 is it possible to import into VB Express. I have no knowledge of programming, and decided to learn VB Express.
