[kryptonboy22]

Hi!

1. What's the conversion or codes of App.path of vb6 to vb2005 mobile application?

2. What's the best to practice in mobile application in database connection?
- Hard coded or by object (direct connect)

Thanks guys!

Hi,
for app.path do...
AppPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase )

Sorry - don't think I understand 2, but hard-coding generally is a no-no

I keep my connection strings in an XML file

thank sir! Now i got the path but the problem i cant apply it to a picturebox. You see i need to load a picture in a specific path. When i search on an item i have to load the designated picture. Why my picturebox cant load picture by path?

my code is: (ofcourse error occur)
ImageViewer.Image = System.Drawing.bitmap(sFullPath)


Thanks sir!

Try
imageviewer.image = new bitmap(sfullpath)
