Hi. A newbie question, please:
I have a function which gets some values from a database, based on a
CategoryName. My function looks like this:
Public Function GetProducts(ByV al CategoryName As String) As DataSet.
I would like to be able to restrict the user to enter only one of the
EXISTING categories - to behave in the same way IntelliSense behaves. For
instance if I had the categories "Category One" and "Category Two", the user
should only be able to select among one of those.
I created a module named "categories " with the intent to be able to declare
the function as
Public Function GetProducts(ByV al CategoryName As CategoriesList) As DataSet
I cannot use an enum, because I cannot enter the string "Category One" as a
valid member of the Enum (the name of the member has to be a valid VB name).
So I thought I could use a collection. I have now in a module named
"Categories .vb" a collection "CategoriesList ":
Module Categories
Public CategoriesList As New Collection()
End Module
CategoriesList is filled like this:
Do While objDataReader.R ead()
Categories.Cate goriesList.Add( objDataReader(" CategoryName"). ToString)
Loop
Now my problem is how do I change the signature of my function ? If I try to
write:
Public Function GetProducts(ByV al CategoryName As CategoriesList) As
DataSet, it says that CategoriesList is not defined as a type.
What am I doing wrong, please ?
Thank you, Alex 1 1113
Use combobox and set its dropdown property to dropdownlist. now pass
combobox1.text as string to the function :)

Can someone give me a short example as how to best use this keyword in
your code?
This is my understanding: by definition restrict sounds like it is
suppose to restrict access to memory location(s) pointed to, so that
only one declared pointer can store that address and access the data in
those memory blocks, where I the data in those location(s) can be changed.
Is that a correct understanding?

In a regular html form, when user press "enter" key, the form will be
submitted.
However, in ASP.NET web form, a form will only be submitted (post back) when
a special button is clicked. Many user get used to click "enter" key to
submit a form. How can I use "enter" key to submit/postback in ASP.NET.
Thank,

Suppose I am an admin of a database instance. Now
I need to specify that user A has the right to create tables
in his own schema, but not anywhere else.
In order to let user A create tables, i grant createtab to that user.
However, that would enable the user to create tables in other schemas
as well (except those sys schema).
Any way to restrict the users from creating objects in other schema
than their own?

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.

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,...
