Hello,
Im using redemption in a database created in ms access.
At the moment emails are generated depending on various actions within
a database. To give an example:
Public Const Email_StencilOr derer = "CA" 'Joe Bloggs
Then later on when an action is taken I will call this like so:
Call Email.SendMessa ge(GetEmail(Ema il_StencilOrder er), "Please order
stencil number " & stencilNumber & ".", "xxxx," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf &
"Please order stencil number " & stencilNumber & " (" & customer & " -
" & product & ")! The data is found in \xxxx\" & stencilNumber & " and
you can find other information (how the board is panelised, etc) using
the xxxxxxx' icon on your desktop." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Ta!", False)
The problem is that people could well be changing jobs quite soon and I
wanted an easier way of updating the list of people who do various
tasks.
I'm thinking (sadly) that im going to have to create a table and have
everything in there which is going to mean a lot of re-coding.
I've never heard of a form updating code, but thought I'd ask anyway..
Ta,
Chris.

Storing it in a table is definitely the way to go, but your re-coding could
be easier than you think. At its easiest, you simply create a function
GetStencilOrder er() to replace your public constant which could simply rely
on the DLOOKUP function. Then do a find and replace through your whole
code.
However, once you have a few of these, it would be a pain to ember all the
function names, so you could make use of enumeration variables e.g.
Public Enum MySetting
SET_STENCIL_ORD ERER
SET_EMAIL_MESSA GE
SET_DATA_PATH
End Enum
You can then write a function like
Public Function GetMySetting(S As MySetting)
The function gets its value from a table with an ID column which matches the
enumeration variable - e.g. SET_STENCIL_ORD ERER goes to the row with an ID
of zero, SET_EMAIL_MESSA GE goes to the row with an ID of 1, etc.
Does that make sense? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form

database with the $_POST vars. Which makes more sense?
1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or
not any particular field has actually changed
2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to
the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

does anyone experienced slowness when updating a dataset using
AcceptChanges?
when calling this code it takes many seconds to update the database
SqlDataAdapter1.Update(DsStudentCourse1)
DsStudentCourse1.AcceptChanges()
i'm also wondering because w/ out AcceptChanges the data is still save
into the database and it is now faster.

Hi all,
I may be missing something with how databinding works but I have bound a
datasource to a control and everything is great, the control updates to
reflect the state of my datasource when I update the datasource - awesome,
but I have an issue with updating from a different thread.
Here is my datasource, a person class that raises the PropertyChanged event:

Unless my app is EXTREMELY simple, I get the cross-threading error message
regularly when updating controls on a Windows form.
My latest example involves a dll that runs a System.Threading.Timer,

(labels in this case). I have to use a delegate and update them like this:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
