I saw the sample ScrollViewPort on this site
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/forms/scrollviewport.htm
this is using Picture box, I am unable to understand, if I should have
picture on a Form before I can have Scroll Bar on it.

I have a series of number crunching analytical programs written in
QuickBasic. Essentially all they do is input a CSV file, do the
calculations, and finish by writing a report in a text file. That's
all.

Do the UserControl events (UserControl_Show, UserControl_Paint, etc.)
roughly translate to their Form 'cousins' (Form_Load, Form_Paint, etc.)??
I.e. I guess what I'm really asking is: does UserControl_Show work like
Form_Load in that it runs once?

I have searched high and low to find how to install Crystal Reports in the
standard version.  I did go to the solutions explorer, add, add new, but
Crystal reports is not there. The help file that came with standard says it
should be there.  According to the same help file there ...

can somebody point me to the right direction.
I'd like to read the content of a listview, copy it into the clipboard, and
export it into excel.
Any idea ?

Can someone please tell me how to convert this script to VB. I am sure that

I'm an occasional VB user who has just installed VB .NET 2003 (I was
previously using VB6).  I migrated a VB6 project over, tweaked it, and
compiled it.  It runs fine on the system where I have VB installed, but it

Given that Microsoft is ending support for Visual Basic 6 at the end of this
month, REAL Software would like to provide VB6 users with a viable and fully
supported alternative: REALbasic for Windows.
From now until the end of March, Visual Basic users can get REALbasic 5.5

I have just installed VB6 and am a complete novice.
My problem is that I can't immediately see the forms when I open a
project that I have saved.
The only way to see the forms is View -> Project Explorer -> Forms.

In an application I am designing, I move controls based on user interaction.
There are times when I need to reset the form back to what it was
originally.  Is there a way to redraw the form back to what it was when the
form was opened?  Or do I have to design a way to reset the ...

I need to programmatically set the date to be the current date minus 6
months.  Is there a simple way to do this?  I know that the Today() function
sets the current date... Thank you!

I am tring to creat a new SQL database using server explorer.  I have MSDE
installed with an instance of NetSDK.  I can open a data connection to NetSDK
through data connections but that doesn't help me because it still doesn't
let me create a new database.  I am logged on as ...

Here's my code:
   Dim abc() As String
   Dim i As Integer
   abc = GetAllSettings("TestApp", "mySubKey")

Did the App.Path function go away in VB.NET?  I know this would work in VB6
to return the path of the application.  How do I get the application path in
VB.NET?  I need this to be able to access a file that resides in the same
directory as the application.
