I have an application that converts data from one format to another. The interface is very simple - enter input/output paths and filenames then hit the run button. While the user input is basic, there is a lot going on to process the files. Databases connections are established, temp files...

Thanks Ben! That works. My only deviation from this is when I set up the deployment project, I put the .exe at the application root and \MDB just beneath and it works fine since I'm concatenating "\MDB\Lookup.mdb" to StartupPath. Thanks for your help!! Clint

Thanks for your replies. What you say makes perfect sense to me, but here's where things are going sour which leads me to believe I'm misunderstanding something. When I test/debug the program by clicking on the build button in Visual Studio, the executable is placed in a folder called...

I am trying to do the same thing only I'm using a fixed length format rather than comma delimited. The client requires it to be written in VB .Net. Now, I know very little about VB .Net, and on the surface it looks like the task should be simple. There is a lot of built in functionality that...

Thanks Chris. That's how I understand it. Unfortunately, that makes the conversion more difficult. The "easy" approach to this task was to map all the fields in the original text file with their start and end positions to the XML elements and begin and end tag representation - store...

I'm trying to understand this issue of white space in XML. Could someone out there validate my understanding? Background: I'm trying to write a routine to convert some data stored in flat ASCII text files (fixed length) into XML files for a client. A schema was provided that the XML file...
