So most of the time I need to write the following to instantiate an object:
Dim cnn As New SqlConnection()
But sometimes Intellisense tells me not to include the "new":
Dim dst As DataSet
When do I use "As New" and when don't I? Intellisense is good at letting me
know which is correct, but I'd like to understand better.
Thanks,

If you might not need the object right away, or possibly might not need
it at all, or if you need a broader scope, then just
Dim dst As DataSet
Otherwise, if you need it right away and you will be throwing it out immediately when you're done with it, use New.

Ronald,
If you create a New dataset than you use the keyword New
dim ds as New Dataset
dim dt as New DataTable
ds.Tables.Add(d t)
dim ds as New Dataset
da.Fill(ds) 'it is filled not created.
However if you use the ds as a placeholder to put an object in, than you
create of course no New dataset.
dim ds as Dataset = MyOldDataset.Co py
I hope this helps,
Cor

Dim Myvar as New Whatever - creates a variable Myvar, creates a new
Whatever, and sets myvar to reference Whatever.
Dim Myvar as Whatever - creates a variable myvar that can reference a
Whatever, but doesn't actually create a new Whatever, so Myvar
initially references Nothing. You can set Myvar to an instance of
Whatever later, for example Myvar = New Whatever, or Myvar =
SomeOtherExisti ngWhatever.
Some object types you cannot create a New instance of directly, they
can only be created through other objects. Indeed, Intellisense warns
you about that.

Dim x as Gizmo
this creates a variable named x that can reference an object of type Gizmo
at this point, however, x does not reference an object (its a null pointer)
x = new Gizmo()
this calls the constructor of the Gizmo class and now the variable x
references an object of type Gizmo.
the sub named new 'instantiates' an object of the class.

For some reason all of a sudden "£" signs are displaying as "?" when the
field is displayed.
The display code is:
<%=rs.Fields("WagesText")%>
This was working fine before, so I have no idea why it has suddenly changed.
The code hasn't altered as far as I'm aware but it is a possibility. The
database is SQL based.

Hi All
I cannot see for the life of me how to do a "Save As" when in table
design !
Its not critical, but it used to be so handy when coding to be able to
copy (then paste) the table name and then field names in the older
versions.
Has anyone figured out how to do this, ?
