This document describes concepts related to working with data in Visual Basic .NET, including:
1. Setting a connection string involves specifying the data provider technology and data source location in the ConnectionString property of a Connection object, separated by a semicolon. An example connects to an Access database on the C drive.
2. Record navigation in a DataSet can be done by incrementing or decrementing a counter variable and calling a NavigateRecords subroutine. Buttons can move to the first, last, previous, and next records.
3. Arrays can be fixed-size or dynamic. Fixed arrays have a set size declared while dynamic arrays can be resized at runtime using ReDim. Multidimensional arrays
The document discusses connecting VB.NET and C# applications to Microsoft Access databases using ADO.NET. It provides an overview of ADO.NET, noting that while the Connection and Command classes are still used, the Recordset has been replaced by the DataSet, and a new DataAdapter object handles processing between a Command and DataSet.
This document discusses various methods for importing, exporting, and summarizing data in Python using the Pandas library. It covers reading and writing CSV, TXT, and XLSX files with Pandas, checking the structure and dimensions of data frames, handling missing values, and modifying data through functions like rename(). The key methods described are read_csv(), read_table(), read_excel(), to_csv(), info(), isnull(), sum(), head(), tail(), and describe().
This document provides an introduction and overview of using R for data visualization and analysis. It discusses installing both R and RStudio, basics of R programming including data types, vectors, matrices, data frames and control structures. Descriptive statistical analysis functions are also introduced. The document is intended to teach the fundamentals of the R programming language with a focus on data visualization and analysis.
The document discusses various concepts in Visual Basic such as extracting and drawing images using image list controls, inheritance, the Exit Try statement, SQL select statements, record navigation in datasets, and jagged arrays.
It provides examples to explain each concept. For image list controls, it shows how to extract individual images and assign them to other controls, as well as how to draw images. For inheritance, it discusses the "is a" relationship between classes. The Exit Try statement example breaks out of a Try/Catch block. SQL select statements are demonstrated by selecting all records or specific columns. Record navigation in a dataset involves moving between records using previous/next buttons or going to the first/last record. Finally, jagged arrays
The document discusses encapsulating state within objects in Scheme. It introduces the make-counter procedure, which creates counter objects that encapsulate a count variable. Each counter object provides methods like next! and get-count that manipulate the private count variable. Later, the document expands on this concept by introducing message passing between objects using an ask procedure, and methods that accept parameters like adjust!. It also defines common object-oriented programming terminology like instance variables, methods, messages, classes, and constructors.
computer notes - Linked list inside computer memoryecomputernotes
The document discusses linked lists and their implementation in C++. It contains the following key points:
1) A linked list stores data non-contiguously in memory by chaining together nodes that contain a data element and a pointer to the next node. The head pointer points to the first node.
2) To create a new node, the Node class constructor is called and passed the data element. This allocates memory and returns a pointer to the new node.
3) To insert a new node, its next pointer is set to the next node of the current node. The current node's next pointer is then set to the new node.
4) The List class manages the linked list by
This document provides an overview of descriptive statistics and data visualization techniques using Python. It first describes summarizing a dataset using measures of central tendency, variation, skewness, and kurtosis. These include calculating the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance, and coefficient of variation. It then demonstrates bivariate analysis through scatter plots, correlation coefficients, and regression lines. Finally, it shows various data visualization graphs that can be created like bar charts, stacked and percentage bar charts, line and pie charts, box plots, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and heat maps using libraries like Pandas, Matplotlib and Seaborn.

R is an open source programming language used for data analysis and visualization. It allows users to process raw data into meaningful assets through packages that provide functions for tasks like data cleaning, modeling, and graphic creation. The document provides an introduction to R for beginners, including how to install R, basic commands and their uses, how to work with common data structures in R like vectors, matrices, data frames and lists, how to create user-defined functions, and how to import data into R.
The document discusses various ways to use @Formula in Lotus Notes and XPages applications. It covers using @Formula for input validation, computed values, view selection formulas, and more. Specific @functions discussed include @Success, @Failure, @If, @Trim, @ProperCase, @LowerCase, @ReplaceSubstring, @Round, @Random, @ThisValue, @ThisName, @SetEnvironment, @Environment, @Adjust, @Text, @Unique, @Transform, @Sort, @Max, @Min, and @Matches. Examples are provided for how to use many of these @functions.
R can be used to summarize and visualize data in various ways. Descriptive statistics like mean, median, range can summarize a single variable. Correlation and regression can show relationships between two variables. Frequency tables and cross tabs show counts and proportions of variables. Graphs like bar plots, histograms, boxplots and more can visualize one or more variables. Pie charts, scatter plots and heat maps are other options. R has functions for each of these techniques to explore and communicate patterns in data.
This document provides an overview of stacks and queues as data structures. It discusses stacks and their LIFO (last-in, first-out) nature, as well as queues and their FIFO (first-in, first-out) nature. It covers the basic operations of each like push, pop, peek for stacks and enqueue, dequeue for queues. It provides examples of how to implement stacks and queues in code as well as examples of their uses.
This document discusses different types of collections that can be used to store data. It describes linear collections like arrays, lists, stacks and queues. It also describes nonlinear collections like trees, graphs and sets. For linear collections, it distinguishes between direct access collections like arrays which allow direct access by index, and sequential access collections like lists which require traversing the list. It provides examples of different collection classes and methods in C#.
Arrays allow storing and accessing multiple values under a single variable name. They are indexed collections that can hold values of built-in or user-defined types. Multidimensional arrays can model matrices by using multiple indices to access elements. Parameter arrays allow methods to accept a variable number of arguments by specifying the last parameter as a type followed by ellipses.
ADO.NET allows interaction with data sources in .NET applications. It consists of two main components: 1) The DataSet which holds data in memory as tables with relationships and 2) Data Providers like SqlClient which define object models to communicate with databases. The SqlConnection and SqlCommand objects are used to open a connection, execute queries or commands, and retrieve data using a SqlDataReader. DataAdapters bridge DataSets to data sources by filling the DataSet with queried data and propagating any changes back to the source.

By using E2D3 (Excel to D3), you can create a dynamic and interactive graph via Excel without programming, because E2D3 bridges a gap between a statistical tool Excel and a graphical tool D3.js.
E2D3 also provides a middle-ware by which D3 programmers easily connect a D3 codes and Excel sheets and a platform in which the D3 programmers simply submit their own D3 graphs to the world.
The document discusses SQL Server 2005 and includes the following sections:

This document provides an outline of topics for learning the R programming language, including R basics, vectors and factors, arrays, matrices, lists, data frames, if/else statements, for loops, user defined functions, objects and classes, reading data files, string operations, and regular expressions. Key concepts covered are defining vectors and factors, performing operations on vectors, summarizing data, accessing and manipulating arrays and matrices, the structure and operations of data frames, using if/else statements and for/while loops, defining user functions, detecting object classes and converting between types, reading different file types into R, and using string and regular expression functions.
1. The document describes how to dynamically format the color of a column value displayed in a ListView or Repeater control in ASP.NET based on the length of the value.
2. It provides four answer options that insert code in different locations to handle the ItemDataBound event and retrieve the target Label control to set its forecolor property.
3. The correct answer is to insert an OnItemDataBound handler and retrieve the label from the bound item in the event args.
4. A similar process is described for a Repeater, with the correct answer again being to retrieve the label from the bound item in the event args.
5. The question asks how to dynamically add a user
This lesson covers SAS macros including how they work, creating macros and macro variables, and incorporating macros into existing programs. Key points include macros allow writing a program that generates a program, macros help automate repetitive tasks, and macro variables store text strings that can be referenced throughout a SAS program. The lesson also reviews invoking macros, using parameters, and conditional logic with %IF/%THEN/%ELSE.
Arrays allow storing and accessing multiple data elements using numeric indices. Arrays can be one-dimensional or multidimensional. One-dimensional arrays are linear arrays while multidimensional arrays include jagged arrays where each sub-array can have a different length. Arrays are declared using keywords like Dim and can be reinitialized using ReDim which resizes the array. Control structures like If/Then, Do/Loop, and For/Next are used to control program flow.
This document discusses how to analyze programs for efficiency. It explains that programs should be analyzed both before and after implementation to estimate things like computation time and storage requirements. Key aspects to consider include the number of times loops and statements will be executed, how algorithms and data structures are implemented, and how the program's performance compares to alternatives. An example program for computing the nth Fibonacci number is provided to illustrate some of these concepts.
An array is a container that holds a fixed number of elements of the same type. An array's length is established at creation and cannot be changed. Each element has an index number starting from 0. The document demonstrates how to declare, initialize, access, and copy array elements in Java. It also discusses multidimensional arrays.
- The document introduces the DatumTron In-Memory Graph Database, which represents data as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of "datums" connected by "is" links. This allows data to be manipulated in generic ways and supports concepts like inheritance, time, code, and inference natively in the database.
- Data is represented as "katums" which are datums with an attached object, linked together to form the Datum Universe graph. Primitive data types are represented as objects attached to katums.
- The DatumTron API allows adding, removing, and querying data in the graph through functions like get, is, isnot, and find to create, link, unlink

Introduction
Download the sample data file TestData.csv.zip and unzip it.
Note that the file is in plain ASCII, with Unix line endings and uses the pipe symbol (|) as a field delimiter. You’ll need to know this when you import it into your database.
Over the course of this worksheet I’ll be asking you questions about MySQL commands. You can find documentation at http://dev.mysql.com. I encourage you to use this to answer the worksheet questions. You can also get some of your answers from PHPMyAdmin itself as we work through the exercise but this will help you get more familiar with the SQL language.

Create Database
Before you import unformatted data into MySQL, you have to have a place to put it.
You can import data in three ways:
· Use a compatible table of an existing database
· Create a new table in an existing database either manually or by importing.
· Create a new database with a table that fits the incoming data.
Log into PHPMyAdmin.
Create a new database called dbtest. What SQL command would you use?
Since it’s not a good idea to use the MySQL administrator account root for everything, we’ll create a new MySQL user that will be managing this new database.
Create a new user with a user name consisting of your first initial followed by your last name. For example, Ellie Palka would create a user named epalka.
This will be a user for localhost only and has no access to any databases. The password will be the same as the username (we can change it later).
In other words, the full user name for Edith Palka would look like [email protected] with a password of epalka. (Remember to substitute your own first initial/last name for the user ID.)
What is your user name?
What was the SQL command you would use to create this user?
A user with an easily-guessed password is insecure but this is only for testing purposes and we can change the password later.
Now give the user you just created administrative access to the database dbtest. That is, they should have full control over the database dbtest and no others. What SQL command would do that?
Confirm that your user has full access to dbtest. How would you show this with an SQL command without logging in as that user?
Run that command, if you haven’t already. What was the output?
Log out and log back in as your new user to confirm that they can administer dbtest and nothing else. If this works, continue with th.

The document covers many fundamental concepts in Visual Basic programming for representing and manipulating data.
ADO.NET is Microsoft's data access technology for .NET applications to connect to data sources. It uses a multilayered architecture centered around connections, commands, and dataset objects. Key differences from ADO include using a generic set of objects regardless of data source and a data provider model. ADO.NET supports features like interoperability, maintainability, typed programming, and performance through its disconnected data architecture.
The document provides an introduction and overview of ADO.NET, which replaced ADO as the underlying data framework for .NET. It discusses the key objects in ADO.NET like the Connection, Command, DataSet, and DataAdapter. It explains how ADO.NET encourages a disconnected data model where the connection to the database is opened for as little time as possible. It then provides code examples in VB.NET and C# for common data access tasks like retrieving a DataSet, using a DataReader, performing CRUD operations, and getting a single value.
This slide begins your formal investigation of the C# programming language by presenting a number
of bite-sized, stand-alone topics you must be comfortable with as you explore the .NET Framework.

Once the Application has started up and you are at the Start Page, select the create a new project option. When presented with the New Project window like the one below, be sure that you have highlighted Console Application under the Templates window. Now give the new project the name INV_GRAB in the Name field, and have the location field pointing to the F:\SAI430 folder you have on the F: drive. The diagram below depicts what your New Project window should look similar to.
Once you have done this, select OK to complete this operation. You may get a "Microsoft Development Environment" message box stating that the project location is not a fully trusted .NET runtime location. You can ignore this and just select OK. You should now see your new project listed in the
Solution
Explorer window on the upper right hand corner of the editor window. You are now ready to begin setting up your form.
STEP 2: Setting Up a Database Connection
Back to Top
The first step now is to set up a database connection with Access and then a data set that can be used to transport the data from the database to the application to be written to a file. For the purposes of this lab and your project, you will only need data from two columns in the ITEMS table of the INVENTORY database, but we will control that with the code written later. The following steps will lead you through the process of setting up the connection.
To begin, you need to add the following three namespaces to the top of your application code:
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
Since you are going to be not only connecting to a database but also writing data to a file, you will need all three of these listed.
Now you can set up the connection to your Access database that you downloaded and put in your folder. The actual connection string is @"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; data source=F:\inventory.mdb". This is a standard connection string for MS Access. You will want to precede this with the command - string conString = so that the finished connection looks like this.
string conString = @"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; data source=F:\SAI430\inventory.mdb";
This is simply defining a string variable named conString and assigning the connection string to it. We will use this variable later.
Now we need to define an OleDbConnection that will be used to connect to the database. To do this you will need to define a connection variable as a new OleDbConnection and point it to the connection string defined in the previous step. Your code should look like the following.
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(conString);
Now you can connect and open the database with the following command entered right below the line above.
conn.Open();
Last, we need to declare a variable that will be used later on. Although this really has nothing to do with setting up the database connection, this is as good a place as any to do this. You need to define a single variable named ro.

Now give the new project the name INV_GRAB in the Name field, and have the location field pointing to the F:\SAI430 folder you have on the F: drive. The diagram below depicts what your New Project window should look similar to.
Once you have done this, select OK to complete this operation. You may get a "Microsoft Development Environment" message box stating that the project location is not a fully trusted .NET runtime location. You can ignore this and just select OK. You should now see your new project listed in the
Solution
Explorer window on the upper right hand corner of the editor window. You are now ready to begin setting up your form.
STEP 2: Setting Up a Database Connection
Back to Top
The first step now is to set up a database connection with Access and then a data set that can be used to transport the data from the database to the application to be written to a file. For the purposes of this lab and your project, you will only need data from two columns in the ITEMS table of the INVENTORY database, but we will control that with the code written later. The following steps will lead you through the process of setting up the connection.
To begin, you need to add the following three namespaces to the top of your application code:
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
Since you are going to be not only connecting to a database but also writing data to a file, you will need all three of these listed.
Now you can set up the connection to your Access database that you downloaded and put in your folder. The actual connection string is @"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; data source=F:\inventory.mdb". This is a standard connection string for MS Access. You will want to precede this with the command - string conString = so that the finished connection looks like this.
string conString = @"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0; data source=F:\SAI430\inventory.mdb";
This is simply defining a string variable named conString and assigning the connection string to it. We will use this variable later.
Now we need to define an OleDbConnection that will be used to connect to the database. To do this you will need to define a connection variable as a new OleDbConnection and point it to the connection string defined in the previous step. Your code should look like the following.
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(conString);
Now you can connect and open the database with the following command entered right below the line above.
conn.Open();
Last, we need to declare a variable that will be used later on. Although this really has nothing to do with setting up the database connection, this is as good a place as any to do this. You need to define a single variable named rowCount as an.

Exception handling in C# uses four keywords: try, catch, finally, and throw. The try block identifies code that might cause exceptions. The catch block handles exceptions, while finally ensures code is always executed. Exceptions are represented by classes derived from System.Exception, and common exceptions include NullReferenceException and DivideByZeroException. ADO.NET provides objects like SqlConnection and SqlCommand to connect C# applications to SQL Server databases using connection strings. Data can be queried, inserted, and read from databases through these objects.
This document provides an overview of arrays, procedures, forms, and error handling in Visual Basic 6. It defines arrays as groups of variables of the same type that can be accessed using an index. Procedures are described as reusable blocks of code that perform tasks. The document outlines the different types of procedures like sub procedures, function procedures, and property procedures. It also discusses how to work with multiple forms in an application and use the DoEvents function. Finally, it covers error trapping in VB6 to prevent program termination due to runtime errors.
The document discusses Visual Basic .NET and the .NET framework. It describes how the .NET framework defines the environment for executing VB.NET applications and services that can be used within applications. It also discusses how Visual Studio includes components like the Microsoft Development Environment and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine that make it an outstanding development product. Finally, it explains that Visual Studio .NET is a suite of products that includes programming languages like Visual Basic, C#, and C++ for developing applications.
This document summarizes projects completed by Matt Willmer as part of a .NET Masters program. The projects involved building multi-tier applications using technologies like C#, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, SQL Server, and Visual Studio. Project 1 focused on learning C# features like properties and enumerators. Project 2 involved creating a Windows Forms application for a library management system. Project 3 added database functionality using LINQ to SQL. Project 4 created a web-based presentation layer for the library system using ASP.NET.
This document discusses how to connect to an Oracle database from Visual Basic 6 using ADO objects rather than an ADO data control. It explains how to declare ADO connection, recordset and command objects, open a connection to the database, execute a SQL query to populate the recordset, and set the recordset as the data source for a data grid control to display the results, allowing retrieval and display of data from Oracle without using the ADO data control.
I am having trouble writing the individual files for part 1, which i.pdfmallik3000
I am having trouble writing the individual files for part 1, which is as follows:
part 1
Purpose
This assignment reviews object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, methods,
constructors, accessor methods, and access modifiers. It makes use of an array of objects as a
class data member, and introduces the concept of object serialization or \"binary I/O\".
Set Up
(Yes, these commands are rather tedious to type repeatedly. Part 2 of this assignment introduces
a new technique for compiling and linking your program files called a makefile. Makefiles
require a bit more work up front, but save a lot of typing at the command line once the makefile
has been created.)
As in Assignment 1, you should create a subdirectory to hold your files for Assignment 2.
In that directory, make a symbolic link to the data file for this part of the assignment:
In this assignment, you will be creating several source code and header files, as described below.
You can create each of these files separately using the nano editor, just as you did on Assignment
1.
To compile and link the program you\'ve created, type:
Once you\'ve added the AccountDB class, you should type:
To run the executable file created by the previous command, type:
Program
For this assignment, you will need to write three source code files as well as two header files.
Each of these files is relatively short, but many inexperienced programmers are overwhelmed by
the idea of writing a program as multiple files. \"Where do I start?!!\" is a common refrain. This
assignment sheet attempts to walk you through the steps of writing a multi-file program.
The steps outlined below should not be thought of as a purely linear process, but rather an
iterative one - For example, work a little on Step 1, then a little on Step 2, then test what you\'ve
written (Step 3).
Step 1: Write the CreditAccount class declaration
The CreditAccount class represents information about a credit card account. The code for the
CreditAccount class will be placed in two separate files, which is the norm for non-template C++
classes.
The header file for a class contains the class declaration, including declarations of any data
members and prototypes for the methods of the class. The name of the header file should be of
the form ClassName.h (for example, CreditAccount.h for the header file of theCreditAccount
class).
A skeleton for the CreditAccount.h file is given below. As shown, a header file should begin and
end with header guards to prevent it from accidentally being #included more than once in the
same source code file (which would produce duplicate symbol definition errors). The symbol
name used in the header guards can be any valid C++ name that is not already in use in your
program or the C/C++ libraries. Using a name of the format CLASSNAME_H (like
CREDIT_ACCOUNT_H in the code below) is recommended to avoid naming conflicts.
Data Members
The CreditAccount class should have the following private data members:
an accoun.

This document provides an overview and manual for coding in Vizwik, a visual programming tool for creating mobile apps. It describes the visual data flow programming model where operations are connected by links. The basic data types of boolean, number, text, list, and object are explained. Control structures like blocks, conditionals, loops are demonstrated. Examples are provided for common programming tasks like printing text, performing math operations, iterating over lists, and calling scripts. Global support resources are listed at the end.
The document discusses the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). It provides definitions and explanations of key concepts in OGSA including:
- OGSA defines standard protocols and formats to build large-scale, interoperable grid systems based on services.
- The Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) provides a specification for implementing grid services as stateful web services.
- Some major goals of OGSA are identifying use cases, core platform components, and defining models and profiles for interoperable solutions.
- Security is a key challenge in grid environments due to the need for integration with existing systems, interoperability across different hosting environments, and managing dynamic trust relationships.
Grid computing is a model of distributed computing that uses geographically and administratively disparate resources to solve large problems. It involves sharing computing power, data, and other resources across organizational boundaries. Key aspects include applying resources from many computers to a single problem, combining resources from multiple administrative domains for tasks requiring large processing power or data, and using middleware to coordinate resources as a virtual system. The document then discusses definitions of grid computing from various organizations and the core functional requirements and characteristics needed for grid applications and users.
The document discusses key concepts in object oriented systems including:
1. Cost-benefit analysis with an example of Krag Central Electric Company computerizing its billing system.
2. Risk analysis as part of risk management in software projects.
3. The structure of modern hierarchical programming teams with a team leader and team manager.
4. The synchronize-and-stabilize team organization model used by Microsoft with daily integration of work.
5. The five core workflows of the Unified Process: requirements, analysis, design, implementation, and testing.
The document discusses several topics related to computers and information technology:
1) It summarizes the goals of the Fifth Generation Computer Systems project in Japan to create a new "fifth generation" computer using parallel processing.
2) It explains what an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is and its important role in the central processing unit (CPU) of performing arithmetic and logical operations.
3) It distinguishes between application software and system software, with application software designed for specific tasks and system software involved in integrating computer capabilities.
1) A database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system and allows for easy storage, retrieval, and maintenance of data. It must store large amounts of information and allow for easy access and input of new data.
2) There are different views available in PowerPoint for presenting information, including Normal view, Slide Sorter view, Notes Page view, and Slide Show view.
3) Media refers broadly to various means of communication, but in computers specifically refers to different types of data storage like hard drives, removable drives, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, and networks that connect workstations.
The document discusses various logic gates and flip flops. It begins by explaining the AND, OR, and NOT gates as the fundamental logic gates. It then discusses the JK flip flop, explaining its operation and how it can be used to create counters. It also briefly discusses the SR flip flop and D flip flop. The document provides truth tables and diagrams to illustrate the working of these logic components.
A parallel-in parallel-out shift register is designed to take in parallel data, shift it internally, and then output the shifted data in parallel. The design uses D flip-flops connected in a loop so that on each clock pulse, the data is shifted one position to the left or right. Mode control inputs determine the direction of shifting and whether the data is loaded in parallel or shifted serially. The design allows cascading multiple shift registers together to process more data bits.
A modulo-n counter is designed using D flip-flops to count from 0 to N-1 and then reset back to 0. The design is refined through steps like structural refinement to separate the counter and controller, interface refinement to
The document discusses the benefits of making the system catalogs in a relational database management system (RDBMS) as relations (tables). This approach stores schema metadata and internal bookkeeping information in relational tables and views, as advocated by the RDBMS. It allows all metadata to be made available through catalog views, which present metadata independently of the underlying implementation and are unaffected by catalog table changes. Catalog views provide the most efficient and standardized way to access core server metadata and help with query optimization.
The document discusses relational algebra operators and their composition. It explains that relational algebra operators return relations, so their outputs can be used as inputs to other operators, allowing operator composition. This ability to compose operators is important because it allows complex queries to be built by combining multiple simple operations.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Visual Basic .Net
BT0082 Part-2
BY milan K Antony
1.Describe the Data Form Wizard in Visual Studio .NET.
VB.Net allows you many ways to connect to a database or a data source.The technology
2. 2
used to interact with a database or data source is called ADO.NET. The ADO parts stands for
Active Data Objects which, admittedly,
doesn’t explain much. But just like System was a Base Class (leader of a hierarchy, if you like), so
is ADO. Forming the foundation of the ADO Base Class are five other major objects:
Connection
, Command
, DataReader
, DataSet
, DataAdapter
The Connection Object is what you need if you want to connect to a database. There are a number
of different connection objects, and the one you use depends largely on the type of database you're
connecting to. LE stands for Object Linking and Embedding, and it’s basically a lot of objects
(COM objects) bundled together that allow you to connect to data sources in general, and not just
databases. You can use it, for example, to connect to text files, SQL Server, email, and a whole lot
more.
3. 3
There are a number of different OLE DB objects (called data providers), but the one we'll use is
called "Jet". Others are SQL Server and Oracle. Whichever version you have, though, the variable
con will now hold the
Connection Object. Notice that there is a full stop after the OleDB part. You'll then get a pop up
box from where you can select OleDbConnection. This is the object that you use to connect to an
Access database.
So place a button on your form. Change the Name property to btnLoad. Double click your button to
open up the code window. here are Properties and Methods associated with the Connection Object,
of course. We want to start with the ConnectionString property. This can take many parameters.
Fortunately, we only need a few of these.
We need to pass two things to our new Connection Object: the technology we want to use to do the
connecting to our database; and where the database is. (If your database was password and user
name protected, you
would add these two parameters as well. Ours isn't, so we only need the two.)
The technology is called the Provider; and you use "Data Source" to specify where your database
is.
con.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source = C:AddressBook.mdb"
Notice the two parts, separated by a semi-colon:
1st Part: PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
2nd Part: Data Source = C:AddressBook.mdb
The first part specifies which provider technology we want to use to do the connecting (JET). The
second part, typed after a semi-colon, points to where the database is. In the above code, the
database is on the C drive, in
4. 4
the root folder. The name of the Acc ess file we want to connect to is called AddressBook.mdb.
connecting (JET). The second part, typed after a semi-colon, points to
where the database is. In the above code, the database is on the C drive, in the root folder. The name
of the Access file we want to connect to is called AddressBook.mdb. (Note that "Data Source" is
two words, and not one.) But your coding window should now look like this:
Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal Sender as Object,_
ByVal e as System.EventArgs) _
Handles btnLoad.Click
Dim con as new OleDb.OleDbConnection
Con.ConnectionString = “Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; DataSource
= C:AddressBook.mdb”
This assumes that you have copied the AddressBook database over to the
root folder of your C Drive. If you've copied it to another folder, change the
"Data Source" part to match. For example, if you copied it to a folder called "databases" you'd put
this:
Data Source = C:databasesAddressBook.mdb
In our code , though, ConnectionString is a property of the con variable. The con variable holds our
Connection Object. We're passing the Connection String the name of a data provider, and a path to
the database.
1.Describe the concept of record navigation in VB.NET.
o move backwards through the DataSet, we need to decrement the inc counter. This means
is deducting 1 from whatever is currently in inc. But we also need to check that inc doesn't go past
zero, which is the first
record in the DataSet. Here's the code to add to your btnPrevious:
5. 5
If inc > 0 Then
inc = inc - 1
NavigateRecords()
Else
MsgBox("First Record")
End If
So the If statement first checks that inc is greater than zero. If it is, inc gets 1 deducted from. Then
the NavigateRecords() subroutine gets called. If inc
is zero or less, then we display a message.
When you've finished adding the code, test your program out. Click the Previous button first. The
message box should display, even though no records have been loaded into the textboxes. This is
because the variable
inc has a value of -1 when the form first loads. It only gets moved on to zero when the Next button
is clicked. You could amend your IF Statement to this:
If inc > 0 Then
inc = inc - 1
NavigateRecords()
ElseIf inc = -1 Then
MsgBox("No Records Yet")
ElseIf inc = 0 Then
MsgBox("First Record")
End If
This new If Statement now checks to see if inc is equal to minus 1, and displays a message if it
6. 6
does. It also checks if inc is equal to zero, and displays the "First Record" message box.
(ii) Moving to the Last Record in the DataSet
To jump to the last record in the DataSet, you only need to know how many records have been
loaded into the DataSet - the MaxRows variable in our code. You can then set the inc counter to that
value, but minus 1. Here's the code to add to your btnLast:
if inc <> MaxRows - 1 Then
inc = MaxRows - 1
NavigateRecords()
End If
The reason we're saying MaxRows - 1 is that the row count might be 5, say, but the first record in
the DataSet starts at zero. So the total number of records would be zero to 4. Inside of the If
Statement, we're setting the inc counter to MaxRows - 1, then calling thE NavigateRecords()
subroutine.
That's all we need to do. So run your program. Click the Last button, and you should see the last
record displayed in your textboxes.
Moving to the First Record in the DataSet
Moving to the first record is fairly straightforward. We only need to set the inc counter to zero, if
it's not already at that value. Then call the Sub:
If inc <> 0 Then
inc = 0
NavigateRecords()
End If
Add the code to your btnFirst. Run your program and test out all of your buttons. You should be
able to move through the names in the database, and jump to the first and last records.

2.Explain the theory behind declaring arrays in VB.NET.
Arrays occupy space in memory. The programmer specifies the array type and the number
of elements required by the array so that the compiler may
reserve the appropriate amount of memory. Arrays may be declared as Public (in a code module),
module or local. Module arrays are declared in the general declarations using keyword Dim or
Private. Local arrays are
declared in a procedure using Dim or Static. Ar ray must be declared explicitly with keyword "As".
There are two types of arrays in Visual Basic namely:
Fixed-Size Array: The size of array always remains the same-size doesn't change during the
program execution.
Dynamic Array: The size of the array can be changed at the run time- size changes during the
program execution.
When an upper bound is specified in the declaration, a Fixed-array is created. The upper limit
should always be within the range of long data type.
Declaring a fixed-array
Dim numbers(5) As Integer
In the above illustration, numbers is the name of the array, and the number
6 included in the parentheses is the upper limit of the array. The above declaration creates an array
with 6 elements, with index numbers running from 0 to 5.
If we want to specify the lower limit then the parentheses should include both the lower and upper
limit along with the To keyword. Arrays can have multiple dimensions. A common use of
multidimensional
arrays is to represent tables of values consisting of information arranged in rows and columns. To
identify a particular table element, we must specify
8. 8
two indexes: The first (by convention) identifies the element's row and the second (by convention)
identifies the element's column. Tables or arrays that require two indexes to identify a particular
element are called two dimensional arrays. Note that multidimensional arrays can have more than
two dimensions. Visual Basic supports at least 60 array dimensions, but most people will need to
use more than two or three dimensional-arrays.
The following statement declares a two-dimensional array 50 by 50 array within a procedure.
Dim AvgMarks (50, 50)
It is also possible to define the lower limits for one or both the dimensions as for fixed size arrays.
An example for this is given here.
Dim Marks (101 To 200, 1 To 100)
Basically, you can create either static or dynamic arrays. Static arrays must include a fixed number
of iems, and this number must be known at compile
time so that the compiler can set aside the necessary amount of memory.You create a static array
using a Dim statement with a constant argument:
' This is a static array.
Dim Names(100) As String
Visual Basic starts indexing the array with 0. Therefore, the preceding array actually holds 101
items.
Most programs don't use static arrays because programmers rarely know at compile time how many
items you need and also because static arrays can't be resized during execution. Both these issues
are solved by dynamic
arrays. You declare and create dynamic arrays in two distinct steps. In general, you declare the
array to account for its visibility (for example, at the
beginning of a module if you want to make it visible by all the procedures of the module) using a
9. 9
Dim command with an empty pair of brackets. Then you create the array when you actually need it,
using a ReDim statement:
' An array defined in a BAS module (with Private scope)
Dim Customers() As String
...
Sub Main()
' Here you create the array.
ReDim Customer(1000) As String
End Sub
if you don't specify the lower index of an array, Visual Basic assumes it to be 0, unless an Option
Base 1 statement is placed at the beginning of the module. My suggestion is this: Never use an
Option Base statement
because it makes code reuse more difficult. (You can't cut and paste routines wit hout worrying
about the current Option Base.) If you want to explicitly use a lower index different from 0, use
this syntax instead:
ReDim Customers(1 To 1000) As String
Dynamic arrays can be re-created at will, each time with a different number of items. When you re-
create a dynamic array, its contents are reset to 0 (or
to an empty string) and you lose the data it contains. If you want to resize an array without losing
its contents, use the ReDim Preserve command:
ReDim Preserve Customers(2000) As String
When you're resizing an array, you can't change the number of its dimensions nor the type of the
values it contains. Moreover, when you're
10. 10
using ReDim Preserve on a multidimensional array, you can resize only its last dimension:
ReDim Cells(1 To 100, 10) As Integer
...
ReDim Preserve Cells(1 To 100, 20) As Integer ' This works.
ReDim Preserve Cells(1 To 200, 20) As Integer ' This doesn't.
Finally, you can destroy an array using the Erase statement. If the array is dynamic, Visual Basic
releases the memory allocated for its elements (and you can't read or write them any longer); if the
array is static, its elements are set to 0 or to empty strings.
UDT structures can include both static and dynamic arrays. Here's a sample structure that contains
both types:
Type MyUDT
StaticArr(100) As Long
DynamicArr() As Long
End Type
...
Dim udt As MyUDT
' You must DIMension the dynamic array before using it.
ReDim udt.DynamicArr(100) As Long
' You don't have to do that with static arrays.
udt.StaticArr(1) = 1234
The memory needed by a static array is allocated within the UDT structure; for example, the
StaticArr array in the preceding code snippet takes exactly 400 bytes. Conversely, a dynamic array
in a UDT takes only 4 bytes, which form a pointer to the memory area where the actual data is
stored. Dynamic arrays are advantageous when each individual UDT variable might host a
11. 11
different number of array items. As with all dynamic arrays, if you don't dimension a dynamic
array within a UDT before accessing its items, you get an error 9—"Subscript out of range."
3.Describe the mechanism of creating transparent images using ImageList Control.
he ImageList control has a MaskColor property whose value determines the color
that should be considered transparent when you're performing
graphical operations on individual ListImage objects or when you're displaying images inside other
controls. By default, this is the gray color (&HC0C0C0), but you can change it both at design time
in the Color tab of
the Properties dialog box and at run time via code.
When a graphical operation is performed, none of the pixels in the image that are the color defined
by MaskColor are transferred. To actually display
transparent images, however, you must ensure that the UseMaskColor property is set to True,
which is its default value. You can modify this value in the General tab of the Properties dialog box
or at run time via code:
' Make white the transparent color.
ImageList1.MaskColor = vbWhite
4.Explain the design time property settings of a ListView Control.
While you can use the regular Properties window to set most properties of a
ListView control, it's surely preferable to use a ListView control's custom
Properties dialog box
12. 12
The ListView
control supports four basic view modes: Icon, SmallIcon, List, and Report. To see how each mode
is rendered, try the corresponding items in the Windows Explorer View menu The ListView
control exposes two distinct collections: The ListItems collection comprises individual ListItem
objects, each one corresponding to
an item in the control, whereas the ColumnHeaders collection includes ColumnHeader objects that
affect the appearance of the individual headers visible in Report mode. A third collection,
ListSubItems, contains data for all the cells displayed in Report mode.
5.Describe the concept of setting a connection string with an example.
There are Properties and Methods associated with the Connection Object, of course. We
want to start with the ConnectionString property. This can take many parameters. Fortunately, we
only need a few of these.
We need to pass two things to our new Connection Object: the technology we want to use to do the
connecting to our database; and where the database is. (If your database was password and user
name protected, you
13. 13
would add these two parameters as well. Ours isn't, so we only need thetwo.) The technology is
called the Provider; and you use "Data Source" to specify where your database is. This should be
entered on the same line, and not two as it is below. So add this to your code:
con.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source = C:AddressBook.mdb"
Notice the two parts, separated by a semi-colon:
1st Part: PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
2nd Part: Data Source = C:AddressBook.mdb
The first part specifies which provider technology we want to use to do the connecting (JET). The
second part, typed after a semi-colon, points to where the database is. In the above code, the
database is on the C drive, in
the root folder. The name of the Access file we want to connect to is called AddressBook.mdb.
Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal Sender as Object,_
ByVal e as System.EventArgs) _
Handles btnLoad.Click
Dim con as new OleDb.OleDbConnection
Con.ConnectionString = “Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; DataSource
= C:AddressBook.mdb”
This assumes that you have copied the AddressBook database over to the root folder of your C
Drive. If you've copied it to another folder, change the "Data Source" part to match. For example, if
you copied it to a folder called "databases" you'd put this:
Data Source = C:databasesAddressBook.mdb
In our code , though, ConnectionString is a property of the con variable.The con variable holds our
Connection Object. We're passing the Connection String the name of a data provider, and a path to
14. 14
the database. Describe the process of adding, updating, and deleting records with an example. The
button that gets switched on is the
Commit Changes button. The Enabled property of btnCommit gets set to True. But, for this to
work, you need to set it to False when the form loads. So return to your Form. Click btnCommit to
select it. Then locate the
Enabled Property in the Properties box. Set it to False. When the Form starts up, the button will be
switched off. The Clear/Cancel button can be used to switch it back on again. So add this code to
your btnClear:
btnCommit.Enabled = False
btnAddNew.Enabled = True
btnUpdate.Enabled = True
btnDelete.Enabled = True
inc = 0
NavigateRecords()
We're switching the Commit Changes button off, and the other three back on. The other two lines
just make sure that we display the first record again, after the Cancel button is clicked. Otherwise
the textboxes will all be blank. To add a new record to the database, we'll use the Commit Changes
button. So double click your btnCommit to access its code. Add the following:
If inc <> -1 Then
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
Dim dsNewRow As DataRow
dsNewRow = ds.Tables("AddressBook").NewRow()
dsNewRow.Item("FirstName") = txtFirstName.Text
dsNewRow.Item("Surname") = txtSurname.Text
15. 15
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows.Add(dsNewRow)
da.Update(ds, "AddressBook")
MsgBox("New Record added to the Database")
btnCommit.Enabled = False
btnAddNew.Enabled = True
btnUpdate.Enabled = True
btnDelete.Enabled = True
End If
The actual values we want to store in the rows are coming from the textboxes. So we have these two
lines:
dsNewRow.Item("FirstName") = txtFirstName.Text
dsNewRow.Item("Surname") = txtSurname.Text
The dsNewRow object we created has a Property called Item. This is like the Item property you
used earlier. It represents a column in your DataSet. We could have said this instead:
dsNewRow.Item(1) = txtFirstName.Text
dsNewRow.Item(2) = txtSurname.Text
The Item property is now using the index number of the DataSet columns, rather than the names.
The result is the same, though: to store new values in these properties. We're storing the text from
the textboxes to our new Row. We now only need to call the Method that actually adds the Row to
the
DataSet:
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows.Add(dsNewRow)
To add the Row, you use the Add method of the Rows property of the DataSet. In between the
round brackets, you need the name of your DataRow Updating:
16. 16
To reference a particular column (item) in a row of the DataSet, the code is this:
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(2).Item(1)
That will return whatever is at Item 1 on Row 2.
As well as returning a value, you can also set a value. You do it like this:
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(2).Item(1) = "Jane"
Now Item 1 Row 2 will contain the text "Jane". This won't, however, affect the database! The
changes will just get made to the DataSet. To illustrate
this, add the following code to your btnUpdate:
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(inc).Item(1) =
txtFirstName.Text
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(inc).Item(2) =
txtSurname.Text
MsgBox("Data updated")
Run your program, and click the Next Record button to move to the first record. "John" should be
displayed in your first textbox, and "Smith" in the second textbox. Click inside the textboxes and
change "John" to "Joan" and "Smith" to "Smithy". Now click your
Update Record button. Move to the next record by clicking your Next Record button, and
then move back to the first record. You should see that the first record is now "Joan Smithy".
Close down your program, then run it again. Click the Next Record button
to move to the first record. It will still be "John Smith".
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(inc).Item(1) =
txtFirstName.Text
17. 17
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(inc).Item(2) =
txtSurname.Text
da.Update(ds, "AddressBook")
MsgBox("Data updated")
The first new line is this:
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
To update the database itself, you need something called a Command Builder. The Command
Builder will build a SQL string for you. In between round brackets, you type the name of your
Data Adapter, da in our case. The command builder is then stored in a variable, which we have
called cb.
The second new line is where the action is:
da.Update(ds, "AddressBook")
The da variable is holding our Data Adapter. One of the methods of the Data Adapter is Update. In
between the round brackets, you need the name of your DataSet (ds, for us). The "AddressBook"
part is optional.
Delete a Record from a Database:
The code to delete a record is a little easier than last time. Double click your
btnDelete and add the following:
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da)
ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(inc).Delete()
MaxRows = MaxRows - 1
inc = 0
NavigateRecords()
18. 18
da.Update(ds, "AddressBook")
6.Explain the usage of variants in VB.NET.
Arrays can be stored in variant variables. It also discusses about passage of
multidimensional arrays to routines expecting variant parameters. You can
create an array of Variant elements on the fly using the Array function and store it in a Variant
variable.
Visual Basic lets you store arrays in Variant variables and then access the array items using the
Variant variable as if it were an array:
ReDim Names(100) As String, var As Variant
' Initialize the Names array (omitted).
var = Names() ' Copy the array into the Variant.
Print var(1) ' Access array items through the Variant.
you can pass an array to a procedure that expects a Variant parameter and then access the
elements of the array through that parameter:
' A polymorphic function that sums the values in any array Function ArraySum(arr As Variant)
As Variant
Dim i As Long, result As Variant
For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
result = result + arr(i)
Next
ArraySum = result
End Function
7.Describe the process of extracting and drawing images using ImageList Control.
19. 19
Each ListImage object exposes a Picture property, which lets you extract the image and assign it to
another control, typically a PictureBox or Image
control:
Set Picture1.Picture = ImageList1.ListImages("Cut").Picture
In general, you can use the Picture property of a ListImage object whenever you would use
the Picture property of a PictureBox or an Image control, as
in the following example:
' Save an image to a disk file.
SavePicture ImageList1.ListImages("Cut").Picture, "C:cut.bmp"
' Display an image on the current form, zooming it by a factor ' of 4 along the X-axis, and 8
along the Y-axis. With ImageList1
PaintPicture .ListImages("Cut").Picture, 0, 0, _
ScaleX(.ImageWidth, vbPixels) * 4, ScaleY(.ImageHeight, vbPixels) * 8
End With
Using the PaintPicture method, you can display any ListImage object on a form or in a PictureBox
control, or you can print it to the Printer object. ListImage objects also expose an ExtractIcon
method, which creates an icon out of the image and returns it to the caller. You can therefore use
this method whenever an icon is expected, as in this code:
Form1.MouseIcon = ImageList1.ListImages("Pointer").ExtractIcon
Unlike standard collections, keys in the ListImages collection are dealt with
in a case-sensitive way. In other words, "Pointer" and "pointer" are assumed to be different items.
8.Describe the runtime properties of ListView Control.
Adding ListItem Objects Add([Index], [Key], [Text], [Icon], [SmallIcon]) As
ListItem
20. 20
Index is the position at which you place the new item. (If you omit Index, the item is added to the
end of the collection.) Key is the inserted item's optional
key in the ListItems collection, Text is the string displayed in the control, Icon is an index or a key
in the ImageList control pointed to by the Icons property, and SmallIcon is an index or a key in the
ImageList control pointed to by the SmallIcons property. All these arguments are optional. The Add
method returns a reference to the ListIte m object being created,
which you can use to set those properties whose values can't be passed to the Add method itself, as
in the following example:
' Create a new item with a "ghosted" appearance.
Dim li As ListItem
Set li = ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "First item", 1)
li.Ghosted = True
ListItem objects support a number of new properties. The Bold and ForeColor properties affect the
boldface and color attributes of the objects. The ToolTipText property allows you to define a
different ToolTip for each
item, and the Checked property sets or returns the state of the check box beside the item (if the
ListView's Checkboxes property is True). When you have to assign multiple properties, you can
use a With clause with the Add method:
With ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "John Ross", 1)
.Bold = True
.ForeColor = vbRed
.ToolTipText = "Manager of the Sales Dept."
End With
When working with ListView controls whose MultiSelect property is True, the user can select
21. 21
multiple items by clicking on them while pressing the Ctrl or the Shift key. You can modify the
selection state of a ListItem object via code by assigning the appropriate value to t he Selected
property. With such ListView controls, you must also assign the SelectedItem property to make a
ListItem the current item:
' Make the first ListItem object the current one.
Set ListView1.SelectedItem = ListView1.ListItems(1)
' Select it.
ListView1.ListItems(1).Selected = True
Adding ColumnHeaders Objects
Often you don't know at design time what columns should be displayed in a ListView control. For
example, you might be showing the result of a user-defined query, in which case you don't know the
number and the names of
the fields involved. In such circumstances, you must create ColumnHeader objects at run time with
the Add method of the ColumnHeaders collection, which has this syntax:
Add([Index], [Key], [Text], [Width], [Alignment], [Icon]) _
As ColumnHeader
Index is the position in the collection, Key is an optional key, Text is the string displayed in the
header, and Width is the column's width in twips.
Alignment is one of the following constants: 0-lvwColumnLeft, 1-lvwColumnRight, or 2-
lvwColumnCenter. Icon is an index or a key in the ListImage control referenced by the
ColumnHeaderIcons property. With the
exception of the Tag property, these are the only properties that can be assigned when a
ColumnHeader object is created, so you can usually discard the return value of the Add method:
22. 22
' Clear any existing column header.
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Clear
' The alignment for the first column header must be lvwColumnLeft.
istView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Last Name", 2000, lvwColumnLeft
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "First Name", 2000, lvwColumnLeft
ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Salary", 1500, lvwColumnRight
Adding ListSubItems
Each ListItem object supports a ListSubItems collection, which lets you
create values displayed in the same row as the main ListItem object when the control is in Report
mode. This collection replaces the SubItems array that was present in previous versions of the
control. (The array is still
supported for backward compatibility.) You can create new ListSubItem objects us ing the Add
method of the ListSubItems collection:
Add([Index], [Key], [Text], [ReportIcon], [ToolTipText]) _
As ListSubItem
Index is the position in the collection of the new item, Key is its optional key,
Text is the string that will be displayed in the grid cell, ReportIcon is the index or the key of an
icon in the ImageList control referenced by the SmallIcons property, and ToolTipText is the text of
a ToolTip that appears when the user keeps the mouse hovering over this item. You can also assign
individual Bold and ForeColor attributes to each ListSubItem:
' This ListItem goes under ColumnHeader(1).
With ListView1.ListItems.Add(, , "Ross", 1)
.Bold = True
23. 23
' This ListSubItem goes under ColumnHeader(2).
With .ListSubItems.Add(, , "John")
.Bold = True
End With
' This ListSubItem goes under ColumnHeader(3).
With .ListSubItems.Add(, , "80,000")
.Bold = True
.ForeColor = vbRed
End With
End With
Loading Data from Databases
the ListView control can't be automatically bound to a database through Data, RemoteData, or an
ADO Data control. In other words, if you want to load database data into this control you're on
your ow n. The task of filling a ListView control with data read from a recordset isn't conceptually
difficult, but you have to account for a few details. First you must retrieve the list of fields
contained in the recordset and create a corresponding number of ColumnHeader objects of a
suitable width. You also have to discard fields
that can't be displayed in ListView controls (for example, BLOB fields), and you must determine
the best alignment for each field (to the right for numbers and dates, to the left for all others).
Sorting and Reordering Columns
you can get the same effect at run time by setting the Sorted, SortKey, and SortOrdaer
properties. Usually you do this when the end user clicks on a column header, an action that you can
trap in the ColumnClick event:
Private Sub ListView1_ColumnClick(ByVal ColumnHeader As _
