    vb question in Tornado (.dynamic dbskin)

    Hello Sirs and Madams.

    I want to change the skin (bluerain, plain, gold, summermeadow) according to the day of the week (in Tornado).
    I imagine it is an array with an if..then statement, something like in vb.net: if day= blah blah, then .dbskin = blah blah.

    No particular reason - just want to see if it can be done,

    I am sure an experienced VB programmer could do this before breakfast, but all I know is Tornado and the back cover of VB.Net for Dummies - and my boss still thinks I am a programming genius!

    Any suggestions how to make the .dbskin dynamic according to day of week?

    Any ideas appreciated

    With Tornado, your work can beat a lot of genius !!! Try the following ->

    <script language='vb' runat='server'>
    Sub Page_Load(Source as Object, E as EventArgs)
    Dim Skins() as integer = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} '... put your 7 favorite skins here
    Dim Mydb As New Tornado.Z()
    With Mydb
    .dbQP = "U=1|M=grid|Ps=5|Q=Employees|D=Nwind|Th=Ti=Ran dom Skin"
    .dbSkin = Skins(WeekDay(now())+1)
    '... .dbSkin = "Random" 'this presents a random skin
    .ASPdbNET()
    End With
    End Sub
    </script>
