Two VB.net questions - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Jmar

Having spent many years working with VB 4.0 I've recently purchased
VB.net. At this early point I have two questions.

1) How can I QUICKLY view the code associated with a specific control?
If I right-click on the control (say a combo box) and select "View
Code" it seems to take me back to the last code I was viewing. I
would like to go to the combo box event code. This is slowing me way
down!

2) I have data in an ACCESS 2003 database. I have a form that has
several combo boxes and text boxes. Each of these has an associated
field in the database. I want to write code so that each time the user
selects something in any of the combo boxes, a search is done of the
database to find the associated record. If found, the text boxes are
filled with data from that record. It is also possible that there
will not be a matching record so then the user must manually input the
text boxes. What is the easiest way to do this with code. In VB 4.0
I opened a table a did a SQL query to pull up that record. I then set
each text box to the associated field. Im sure there is something
similar in .NAT but I'm having difficulty grasping it. Please provide
a code example.

Thank you in advance for help on either question.

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb
microsoft.publi c.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.

Python Interview Questions

by: Krypto | last post by:

Hi, I have used Python for a couple of projects last year and I found it extremely useful. I could write two middle size projects in 2-3 months (part time). Right now I am a bit rusty and trying to catch up again with Python. I am now appearing for Job Interviews these days and I am wondering if anybody of you appeared for a Python Interview. Can you please share the questions you were asked. That will be great help to me.

Overview: 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,...
