In many of the articles I have read on the web say that when creating properties in vb.netthey should use the get/set methods and a private/protected member variable in the class.
Like so:
Public Class Person
Private _name as string

The application uses ADO.NET to invoke sprocs for nearly every database operation. Some of these sprocs also contain a fair amount of domain logic. The data access logic for each domain entity resides in the domain class itself. ie, there is no decoupling between domain logic and data access logic. I'm looking to accomplish the following:

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
Is there a way to expose a UserControl's properties to the Properties Window in the Designer?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub

How to change all properties of a form to properties of other but don't change important properties like Owner,Handle, OwnedForms, Parent,HasChildren,Controls and ... .I have a child form that i want it to provide controls of Form.The background form provides Aero frame and child form is a transparent form in it.I want it because I want to draw buttons with system style in Aero in Windows Forms.This is my own code but it does not work good (ForeForm is child form):

I have 3 tables:Sales data - SaleID, Date, StoreID, CategoryID, Cost, Retail
Store names - StoreID, Name
Category names - CategoryID, Name
I have a dgv bound to my sales table, and 2 comboboxes, one each bound to the remaining tables, with display member set to the name, and value member to the ID.
An ID of -1 represents "All Stores" or "All Categories"
An ID > -1 represents a specific location or category
So, can I use some sort of If,Then,Else logic to do something like this:
SELECT (*) FROM Sales
WHERE (IF @StoreID > -1 THEN StoreID = @StoreID ELSE True)
AND (IF @CategoryID > -1 THEN CategoryID = @CategoryID ELSE True)
AND Date BETWEEN @Date1 AND @Date2
I've found some different examples of If/Then/Else and Select Case type logic for SQL using google, but they don't seem to fit my situation, and I'm not sure how to apply that to what I'm attempting here.
I've got a problem when I'm trying to refresh my form. I've narrowed it down to why I'm getting this error so I'd be interested to hear people's opinions because logically, I don't think I'm approaching this the correct way.
I read from a table that gets x number of records. From the results, I create dynamic check boxes. It's OK if x is greater than the previous refresh but when it's less than, I can still see the old objects.
If I completely close the form and re-open it, it works fine and that is exactly what I'm trying to emulate. However, I'm failing miserably. Here's a broken down version[code]...

I want to be able to call forth hundreds of different photos be selecting them from a listbox or something of that nature.
Normally, if I only had a few images, I would amke their visibility false and then use If statements to turn on their visibility once it is selected. However, putting hundreds of images on to a form and then changing their visibility, seems like a pain.
I was wondering if there is a way to call forth each photo within the resources folder when an item is clicked so I don't have to put each one directly on the form.
I'm sure this should be easy but I'm having trouble getting my head around it. I shall try to explain what I need as best I can.I have a string called SoftwareGroupName. If that string is empty, I need to run some code that logs a call in our Helpdesk. So far, so simple.I then check two other variables, AuthorityLevel and InstallType. If the AuthorityLevel is anything other than "OnRequest" then a call is logged in the Helpdesk System. Again, so far, so simple.
The problem occurs when the AuthorityLevel is "OnRequest". At this point, the application should again log a call in the Helpdesk Call with a status of "Resolved" as well as add the user to the relevant group in Active Directory.What I need to be able to do is, effectively, say "If the AuthorityLevel is OnRequest and SoftwareGroupName is not empty then go ahead and create the call and update the group. However, if softwaregroupname is empty then DON'T even try and update the group and create a call with a different status (e.g. Assigned).Here's what I'm doing so far. But it seems wrong to have to check that SoftwareGroupName is empty twice.

We have a system were a user chooses a combination of days from a calander. We then insert a values in the databse based on the following [code]So if they picked Monday and Friday we would insert 34, or if they picked Monday,Tuesday and Thursday we would insert 22.Now my question is how do I reverse this easily in code, to find out what days they have picked. So I get fed 22 from the database how do I figure out what combination of days make up that value. The only thing I can think of is creating the mother of all case statements but I know there must be a better way.
View 4 RepliesI have an small physics toy application I am developing. It works fine except the particles will not push each other away, only pull towards, I debugged that sub going through it command by command and realised the value 'H' would not change, what ever it was set to during the first pass through the sub is what it kept, the only way to change this value is to manually set it i.e 'h = 1'. Once the calculation is redone on the 'H' value it resets to what it was previously, even though the x1,y1,x2,y2 are all different, thus meaning H should be different.
I think it is me that has made a mathematical mistake somewhere, but I cannot see where it is. I need a fresh pair of eyes to look over my work. Please let me know if you find anything.

I am a student working in a co-op position. My project is to add a login page to an existing site (made using FrontPage, I believe) and I am using ASP.NET in vs2010 (VB). I would like to NOT use the login control/membership tools in ASP.NET. I was hoping to make my own login and use session variables to keep track of the users and determine their role off of a field in a table located in the database that currently exists for the site.
Like I said, I am still a student and haven't had a lot of web application experience. I'm not asking for someone to do this for me. I have spent a few days looking over the asp site, the msdn site, and several others but I just can't understand it yet.
