Hi-

Performance problems can be caused by a number of factors. Would you mind taking a moment to outline some details about your project and where exactly you experience slowless? I suggest posting this in a new forums post. My team will keep an eye for this and respond.

Best,

Paul

Hi Luis,

The topic "Walkthrough: Displaying Related Data on a Form in a Windows Application" shows how to create a Parent/Child relationship using the Customers and Orders tables from the Northwind database.

There are also several other data walkthroughs that may be of help:

Hi Luis,

No, Crystal Reports isn't included - for that you would need the full edition. Does that answer both of your questions :-)

Hi All,

I'm facing problem as below:

Dim d As Double
d = 127.4
d = d / 18.2
MsgBox (d = 7#)

It's should return as true like what's we get from calculator, but it's not!

Workaround that I have encountered and seen so far are as below

1. Declare d as Single instead Double

Dim d As Single
d = 127.4
d = d / 18.2
MsgBox (d = 7#)

2. Convert the results to string and convert it back to double

Dim d As Double
d = 127.4
d = CDbl(CStr(d / 18.2))
d = d / 18.2
MsgBox (d = 7#)

Both message box will now return True.

Does anybody has a better solution or provide the logical explanation behind this results?

P.S. Sorry to use "cartoon character" names.

You could do something like this ( to get you started just add 1 button to your FORM, click on that button).>>

PASTE these highlighted sections in the appropriate sections.>>

'Set up 3 arrays with each 'wholesale'

'customer having a different discount.

Dim wholesalers(4) As String

Dim others(4) As String

Dim discounts(4) As Double

'CLICK on the FORM to get this FORM_LOAD event

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Set up wholesalers.

wholesalers(0) = "Fred"

wholesalers(1) = "Barney"

wholesalers(2) = "Wilma"

wholesalers(3) = "Betty"

wholesalers(4) = "BamBam"

others(0) = "Sylvester"

others(1) = "Felix"

others(2) = "Tweety"

others(3) = "Marvin"

others(4) = "Speedy"

End Sub

'Type a 'FLINTSTONES' (c) character name to

'show a discount.

'Otherwise they don't get a discount.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim response As String

response = InputBox("Type 'FRED' 'BARNEY' 'WILMA' 'BETTY'" _

& " 'BAMBAM' 'SYLVESTER' 'FELIX' 'TWEETY'" _

& " 'MARVIN' or 'SPEEDY'")

Dim index As Integer

For index = 0 To 4

If response.ToUpper = others(index).ToUpper Then

MessageBox.Show("Sorry no discount for " & response.ToUpper)

End If

If response.ToUpper = wholesalers(index).ToUpper Then

MessageBox.Show(response & " gets " & _

discounts(index).ToString & "%")

End If

Next

End Sub

Thanks it does seem to look like it might help me some. The one thing I have to do is put a message box on the form that will ask if the customer is a wholesaler, then with a yes or no. So then if they are they would get the discount if not they wouldn't. Does that make sense. Judy

Hi,

Yes it makes perfect sense but someone could "lie" about being a wholesaler.

If this was part of a "professional" application then the program would look up the customer in a database and apply their discount as per that item.

The discount will vary too from item-to-item, depending on who the OEM ( original equipment manufacturer is ), take for example the following; i worked in electrical wholesale for 8 years and one manufacturer had about 8 different discounts depending on the product code associated with that item.

So we had to produce a table for each customer showing their discount for each product code.

In that business we sometimes sold items with a 'gross profit' percentage added or just said list price - 20% if we were getting say 35% discount ( sometimes more ), depending on the item.

The company director wanted us to try and do all sales with a minimum of a certain gross profit percentage and i can tell you that the market-place was so competitive that "it became frustrating" trying to achieve this.

I worked mostly on the telephone-sales / trade-counter side of the business.

Your question "as is" though can be answered like.>>
