Hi,
I would like to seek some advise and assistance regarding the following matter as I am new to VB.Net. I'll appreciate any helps render.
I am developing a VB application using VB.Net 2003 to extract data from text files and import it into datatable. The format of the text file is fixed length/width. Eg. 
I am having trouble to do so as I am not sure how to start. I had done some research and notice that TextFieldParser can be use (I can switch to VB.Net 2005). However, this may not applicable as we need to define the length or width first which is not ideal for my case. The application should be able to read and calculate the length or width for any text files (not just limited to the above fixed length/width format, can be any format of fixed length/width), extract and put them in datatable.
I had used another method - using OleDbDataAdapte r to extract the text files with the defined schema.ini. This approach also is not ideal as we need to define the format in schema.ini. If possible, I would like to make it all to be automatically - without defining the table format.
Any advise? Thanks!
PS: If possible, please also provide some code snippet as I am new in this area.

I use code like the following to retrieve fields from a form:
recd =
recd.append(string.ljust(form.getfirst("lname",' '),15))
recd.append(string.ljust(form.getfirst("fname",' '),15))
etc., etc.
The intent is to finish by assigning the list to a string that I would
write to disk: recstr = string.join(recd,'')

I am trying to have a fixed top and side sections with scrolling content. Both
side sections have navigation links. The side provides external navigation and
the top provides internal navigation. The styles I have defined work fine until
I move to an internal link. When moving to the internal link the header vanishes.
This is the style definition as it now stands:

greetings,
I want to achieve the following effect :
Menu1 | Menu2 | Menu3 | Menu4 | Menu5 |
I played with padding, border-width and the like and it's ok for the | .
My problem is that menu1 could be longer than menu2 : Products and FAQ
for example. But all lengths will be smaller than say : 800/6 (menus)
pixels.

I have seven huge fixed width text file that I need to import to Access.
They contain headers, subtotals, etc. that are not needed. There is also
some corrupt data that we know about and can correct once the data is in
Access (or during the import process itself). Furthermore, the text files
are poorly set up, such that some records may be "shifted" over a few
characters, and therefore the fixed width nature of the file is corrupted.

I have a fairly simple C# program that just needs to open up a fixed width
file, convert each record to tab delimited and append a field to the end of
it.
The input files are between 300M and 600M. I've tried every memory
conservation trick I know in my conversion program, and a bunch I picked up
from reading some of the MSDN C# blogs, but still my program ends up using
hundreds and hundreds of megs of ram. It is also taking...

Does anyone know a work around for "table-layout: fixed;" to prevent the automatic evenly space cells width without assigning classes or ID to cells?
My program prints a HTML "report" file and I used "table-layout: fixed; width:691px;" because the reports have to be printed on 8.5x11 paper. I didn't want the table to resize or anything.
Then after I added that property to the table, the data cells no longer "fit to contents" even with a...

Hey
I'm wondering how the Fixed-Width Text Format is
What I know is that the top line in this text format will contain column
names. and each row beneath the top line represent for example a row in a
table etc...
But does fixed-with mean that every column has a fixed with: for example
first column is 10 char wide and second column is 30 char wide?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
