• .NET Development Using shared (static) members

  Hi! Is anybody aware of any drawbacks when using shared (static) members inside classes. Apart from design issues and braking some of OOP rules, are there any performance issues, like bad memory usage or increased overhead when calling them ps 1. I think My.Brain would be better than Me.Brain. I would make it easier to find! ps 2. I some times think that Brain should implement the IDisposable interface. Just in case! ...Show All

• Windows Forms HTMLDocument question

  Hi, I am using the WebClient.DownloadDataAsync() method to download data from a web page. I choose this method, because I can get feedback through a WebClient event so that I can update a progress bar whilst the downloading of the data takes place. This all works as expected, but once I have downloaded the data I want to process the data using the methods of the HTMLDocument class. How can I do this and is it even possible (I know I can process the data if I downloaded it using the WebBrowser as the HTMLDocument class is known at this point!) Regards Ron. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Output line numbers progamatically (for logging/debug purposes) to a text file

  Using MS Visual Studio .Net 2003 VB I'm trying to figure out how to output the line number of a line of code that is executing.  This would be used for logging/debugging purposes. MS VC++ has the 'built in macro' by which this can be done __LINE__ and I have been unsuccessful in finding a VB equivalent - if one even exists. Best example I can give is in C++ because I have none for VB. void Example (int test) {    if (!test)       printf ("test not set @ line %d", __LINE__); } All that to say I need to know if there is an equivalent to __LINE__ in VB.  Thanks in advance for the help. ...Show All

Data Record Trailer1 Trailer2 I want to loop through each data record. I want to take a column value (string) from each row, and call a stored procedure passing in that value.
