    <p>The <code>=</code> operator is perfectly correct; it’s the rest of your <code>Or</code> operands that are wrong!</p> <p>This is a pretty common mistake that people make in every language, and the fact of the matter is, it just doesn’t work. Programming languages aren’t magic. <code>Or</code> takes one operand and another and returns either a boolean or an integer. It has a lower precedence than <code>=</code>. You have to specify the comparison each time, or it’ll just always be <code>True</code>.</p> <pre><code>Console.WriteLine("Is there a 2nd IIS Server? (y/n)") Dim line As String = Console.ReadLine() If line = "Yes" Or line = "yes" Or line = "Y" Or line = "y" Then Servers.IISsvr2 = Console.ReadLine() End If </code></pre> <p>Also, use <code>OrElse</code> to prevent unnecessary comparisons (it’s almost always what you want when the operands are boolean):</p> <pre><code>Console.WriteLine("Is there a 2nd IIS Server? (y/n)") Dim line As String = Console.ReadLine() If line = "Yes" OrElse line = "yes" OrElse line = "Y" OrElse line = "y" Then Servers.IISsvr2 = Console.ReadLine() End If </code></pre> <p><code>Select Case</code> can also be fun in some cases<del>, but it’s probably not appropriate here</del>:</p> <pre><code>Select Case Console.ReadLine() Case "Yes", "yes", "Y", "y" Servers.IISsvr2 = Console.ReadLine() End Select </code></pre> <p>Prompts, anyone?</p> <pre><code>Function BooleanPrompt(prompt As String) As Boolean Do Console.Write("{0} (y/n) ", prompt) Select Case Console.ReadLine().ToLower() Case "y", "yes" Return True Case "n", "no" Return False End Select Loop End Function </code></pre>

    1. COWhy wouldn't `SELECT CASE` be appropriate here? It seems like that's the simplest to read and handles the scenarios I need to test for. Less lines, too, and there's one less variable to store/collect.

    2. CO@SeanLong: Well, usually you wouldn’t use it for just one and convert to lowercase or something. You’re right, though… it’s probably actually a good choice.

    3. COThat's a lot of options though. I'll probably be using that Prompt function in the future for this app. I find it odd that this is really, really fun to me.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
