I have a WPF application that targets .NET 4.0. When the application starts the %ProgramData%Company NameApplicationVersion directory is created. It is an empty directory. I am not using My.Settings. Why is this directory created and how can I prevent it from being created?

I am trying to show the square root of the number entered in the textbox. when the user presses Q (Uppercase), the square Root should be shown (in the textbox). I did manage to get the sqaure root, but the problem is that when I press Q the Letter Q is also typed in. For example, if I enter 25 in the textbox and press Q then I get Q5 as the result. Is there any work around to this problem ? Below is the code that I have used.
Private Sub Textbox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(81) Then '81 for Letter Q
Dim root As Double = Math.Sqrt(Val(TextBox1.Text))

If I use a button, I can't get rid of the white border apearing around it as soon as I press it. It stays there even after until I press something else. In the button properties I declared the Flatstyle as Standard because I like that look the most.

View 4 RepliesThis is one of those "seems obvious" as how to do, but came across interesting side effect in implementing. I'm trying to keep two text boxes syncronized when information is updated. In this example, I will be using txtStartDate and txtEndDate. If the txtStartDate is changed, then the txtEndDate should should be updated. Likewise, if the txtEndDate changes, I want the txtSartDate to be updated. The side effect I'm comming across is that when I set them up under the TextChanged event for both, the events seem to retrigger against each other indefinately (endless loop?). Am I using the wrong event? Is this a task for a delegate?
View 3 RepliesI have an MDI WinForms app in which the MDI parent form has a ToolStrip, MenuStrip and StatusStrip. Whenever the mouse is moved over one of these controls the cursor changes to a 'wait' cursor (a arrow with an hourglass). This seems to be default behaviour in that there is no code to make this happen. The UseWaitCursor property of both the ToolStrip and MenuStrip is false; StatusStrip does not have this property. This occurs in both debug and release builds and confuses the users who think that the app is 'doing' something when really it isn't! Does anyone know what is causing this to happen, and more importantly how to make it stop?

I've been constructing a small footprint grid control for Winforms.
After adding a vertical scrollbar I noticed that up and down keyboard strokes on the control move the scrollbar. I added no handler to support this functionallity. Indeed I do not want it. Anyone know where this event resides and what is the proper way to override it?
I'm working on a program that will generate and graph random parabolas with integer vertices. I've got a 360n x360 pictureBox set up and used a for-next loop to draw in a grid consisting of 15 x 15 squares. when I plot the generated parabola I get some unwanted lines/curves. I think this is due to the fact that the (0, 0) point of the picturebox is in the upper left corner and the (0, 0) of my grid is in the center of the picturebox. Is there a way to "move" or "set" the pen position to the first point I wish to plot for my parabola without leaving a mark or trail? Or is there something else I can do? I've tried drawing an invisible line before my g.DrawCurve(plotPen point) but when the DrawCurve is executed I still get an extra line.
Private Sub cmdParabola_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdParabola.Click
Dim x, xPlot, y, yPlot As Single

I'm using VB 2005 and MS Access 2000. I have a process that does some "stuff" with the data, re-queries the database, re-populates the form then displays a messagebox indicating that the process has completed. My issue is that after clicking OK in the messagebox, that whatever textbox the cursor was in prior to starting the process, now has all the text in it highlighted. If I don't show the messagebox then this doesn't happen. And if I don't call the process that repopulates the form controls, this doesn't happen. There's no code in the app that selects the contents of the textbox so is there a property somewhere that controls this?
View 1 RepliesI have an unbound data grid view. Every cell that has text will display ToolTipText for that value. I'd like certain cells to have no ToolTip and others to have a ToolTip that provides instruction on what the "X" button is for rather than just having "X" display. If anything, for this particular cell, I'd probably rather have no ToolTip. I've tried setting the ToolTip.Text ="" for the cell immediately after creating the row. On other cells, if I change the underlying text value, I try altering the displayed tip text, but only get the text value for that cell.
How can I remove/modify unwanted ToolTips in my DataGridView?
developed my app on a Vista laptop and deployed it on an XP desktop. When deployed the Form and even some controls are resized so text and portions of controls are not visible.Next I moved the project files and VB to the XP desktop and published the application on that machine. Same result, in fact the sizes were changed within the properties of the forms and controls within the project files
View 14 RepliesI have developed a VB .net application which uses SQL CE as its database engine. It works great so far. I recently added a section to remove unwanted reports which are stored in the database. The app correctly pulls ReportIDs from the table, which the user can select. The program will then delete the records based on the ReportID from the database. I know this records because, for testing purposes, message boxes inform the user of how many records where collected.
Dim SQLDeleteData As String = "DELETE FROM ReportData WHERE (TableID = @ID)"
Dim Con As New SqlCeConnection(DataBaseCon)
Dim DeleteData As New SqlCeCommand(SQLDeleteData, Con)
Dim ReportDelete As Integer = -1
DeleteData.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = CInt(ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text)
noOfDeleted = DeleteData.ExecuteNonQuery
MsgBox("Records Data Deleted " & noOfDeleted)
When the form refreshes to show the user the possible ReportID's, the list no longer contains the recently deleted ReportID. Now this is where I am getting confused. When I go through the server explorer and look at the database there, in the appropriate tables the data still exists. Through the server explorer new query builder, I can still create a select statement to allow me to view the data I just deleted. Does the server explorer create some type of local cache that replicates the database in someway? Are there really two copies of the database somewhere?
I have a Visual Basic 10 program that one forms call another form.. On the called form I have a checkbox object and a 'Click' event associated with it.
My problem is that when the first form 'calls' the second form the second forms Checkbox's click event is called. it only happens when the form.show is used for the first time.
I started computing at college about a month ago and have been learning to program in Visual Basic 2008 Express. I decided one weekend that I would try and make a pretty simple game that I may be able to use for my coursework at some point (I know Visual Basic isn't everyone's first choice for games programming but I thought I could try), I have learn a great deal from doing this but have encountered a rather odd bug in the program.

I have a program that will round any numbers I give it regardless of the data type I set (I've tried double and decimal) before it saves into the DB. I'm using MS access for the DB and I've set the data types in access to Numeric Double, Numeric Decimal, and Currency and all with decimal places set to 4 -- all to no avail.
What I do know:
1) The textboxes on the form accept the number value as I enter it and after I hit save the value displayed is the same as the number that I entered. However, once I query the database again for that entry the value has been rounded up/down to the nearest integer (whole number). For example: I enter 1000.50 and hit save. I search for that same entry and the value is saved as 1000. If I enter 1000.51 and hit save then search for the entry it shows the value saved as 1001.
2) I can store the desired value directly into the DB by manually entering it. When I search for that entry from within the program it displays the correct amount. HOWEVER, if I try to change the amount and then hit save I get a concurrency violation.
I think that it may be a setting somewhere in the program that doesn't allow for decimal places but I've search everywhere and I cant find anything.

View 6 RepliesI am building a tool that takes an XML document and replaces XML nodes with a different XML node using .ReplaceChild. This all works great. The nodes get changed to the proper nodes. Where I seem to be having an issue is that the new node is inserted with an xmlns="" attribute, which I am not specifying for it to do, nor do I want as an attribute. How can I stop the ReplaceChild from inserting this as an attribute, or am I going to have to remove the attribute after the node is replaced?
Dim imgSrcNode As XmlElement = xmlDoc.CreateElement("img")
Dim imgSrcAttr As XmlAttribute = xmlDoc.CreateAttribute("src")
imgSrcAttr.InnerText = "./art/" + imageName.Substring(0, imageName.LastIndexOf("."))
imgSrcNode.Attributes.Append(imgSrcAttr)
mmlNode.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(imgSrcNode, mmlNode)
Resulting XML change:
<img src="./art/equJI161298_1" xmlns="" />
XML change desired:
<img src="./art/equJI161298_1" />
My application uses several checkedlistbox controls, datagridviews, and textboxes.I'm using the checked list box to provide a more intuitive interface for the users -- they know what they selected by the check mark.I have a binding source for all the individual textboxes (they are in one table) and a binding source for the datagridviews.I use the insertonsubmit and deleteonsubmit for changes made in the listboxes.I can then use the getchangeset to determine if any changes were made to the record.My problem is that sometimes a user only wants to "test" inputs to a record but may not want to have those changes actually made to the database -- or an error was made and they want to "undo" the inputs.How do I remove the unwanted changes and allow the user to continue working with the original data?

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.

I just wondered if you can or can't save arrays using the settings system object. There seems to be no way of entering it at designtime. It seems implied you cannot create new user settings.subobjects at runtime. I'm looking to find the easiest way to save a populated array of PictureBox's. If the only way is a self/custom made/managed .ini file then I need to know so i can start on that but I was hoping to use some of all this phaff in the new frameworks usefully.
View 3 RepliesI am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..
