Visual Studio is confusing (10)

1 Name: JonhD : 2007-06-05 07:39 ID:WP/zMcHx

I'm not sure if I'm anywhere near right. I've got 4 tables and I'm using a currencyManager for each of them.

Also this code I found and modified from this:

If ds.Tables(0).Rows("FirstName") is DBNull.Value Then

To this:

If DsMotorCycle1.Tables(0).Rows("make") Is DBNull.Value Then

Gives me an invalid cast from system string to integer error.

Original code found here:
http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/NullSafeFunctions.asp

Now begins my crappy code. Line break in places that would cause
errors are because of my attempt to make the code fit in the post.
-----------------------------------

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

    string_PicHolder = "C:\burningwheel.bmp"
    PictureBox1.Image =  System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(string_PicHolder)
    DaMostRecentRepair.Fill(DsMotorCycle1)
    DaEngine.Fill(DsMotorCycle1)
    DaInsurance.Fill(DsMotorCycle1)
    DaMainTable.Fill(DsMotorCycle1)
    currmanager = Me.BindingContext(DsMotorCycle1, "MotorCycleMainTable")

currmanagerEngine =
Me.BindingContext(DsMotorCycle1, "motorcycle_engine_table")
currmanagerInsurance =
Me.BindingContext(DsMotorCycle1, "motorcycle_insurance_table")
currmanagerMostRecentRepair = Me.BindingContext(DsMotorCycle1, "mostRecentRepairJob_table")

    ' Check for DBNull
    If DsMotorCycle1.Tables(0).Rows("make") Is DBNull.Value Then
        Label13.Text = "No Records"
    Else
        currmanager.Position = 0
        currmanagerEngine.Position = 0
        currmanagerInsurance.Position = 0
        currmanagerMostRecentRepair.Position = 0
        Label13.Text = currmanager.Position
    End If
  End Sub

This thread makes me glad that I don't ever have to touch VB

Great. Now I found the pic box problem was because currency manager is pulling up the rows out of order and the row it was starting with didnt have an image address. 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3. WTF.

Give up the VB. It'll make your whole life much simpler.

Visual Studio != VB

6 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2007-06-16 08:54 ID:Heaven

Give up the Visual Studio also.

I upgraded to 2005 after writing that post. It makes me want to give programming altogether. The freaking run command is MIA.

USAN DER DEBUG OPTIAN.

My uni shitcanned VS because students complained it was too hard.
We dont have GCC or anything unix based, we're stuck on vanilla XP with BORLAND c++ 4.5 installed.

Think yourself lucky you can actualy do something more usefull on your compiler than loop hello world to the console.

Dude, the rows collection is a collection of DataRows, not columns. You'd need to identify the row ordinal you're interested in:

If DsMotorCycle1.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("make") Is DBNull.Value Then...
