View 3 RepliesI have a form with the following on it [code]then everything works as it should (as long as there is data in the text boxes) If there is one of the text boxes is left empty then an error is returned. The text boxes are not bound and the db is set to allow nulls. Is there an easy way to suggest that if name.textbox is empty then input "nothing" or dbnull etc.I have a lot of text boxes (approx 30) and ideally dont want to write if statements for each one. But will if i have to of corse.
View 2 RepliesI have a textbox,it should display something like "please enter your name" by default.
The default text must disappear when i click on that textbox.
I have two textboxes in my vb.net code
<tr>
<td align="right">
<b>ActivationReqDT:</b>
[Code]....
I want that when I enter date in dd/mm/yyyy in first text box (ActivationReqDTTextBox), it will automatically fill the second text box (DeactivationReqDTTextBox) by adding plus one year in above entered date.
provide your solution with javascript, jquery or vb.net
I am making a Help-form for my application. A Help-form normally has a ListView on the left and a RichTextbox on the right. When you click on a Help topic in the ListView, the text in the RichTextbox is supposed to change accordingly. The text file is part of the application's resources.
I also asked the question on stackoverflow: [URL]
I think this may be a usual issue but I am not able to find much info. There is a master customer database and a call log database at work. The call log database has two tables that are updated from the master database monthly. Now I am writing this vb frontend for the call log database and cannot figure out the update portion
For p = 0 To maxrowsC (currently around 1000 rows)
With myCommand.Parameters
.AddWithValue("@HEATSeq", dsCallLog.Tables("ConfigDS").Rows(p).Item(0))

I have a View that i am trying to use to fill a TableAdapter with. In my code i fill the table adapter properly the first time, filter my bindingsource and use datarowviews to loop through the rows of data and perform the updates needed (done by a stored procedure). Now the problem is, after these updates take place, i need to fill the tableadapter again so that it reflects these changes. Sometimes the View i am using will have no results, other times it may.[code]This is the exact Error "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."Okay, you'll notice that i fill my view, then filter those results on the column Number equal to 1. I loop through all those results and update the table my view is created off of. After exiting the loop i hit the second .fill which times out after about 20 seconds. After testing, this time out only seems to occur when MyView does not hold any records.
I use Visual Studio 2010 and sqlserver 2008. All work is done in VB.NET. Also, during debugging, i paused on the second fill, went to Toad for Data Analysts and ran a SELECT * FROM MyView which did not time out and returned the empty result table in about 19 seconds. I have also tried doing a dispose on the tableadapter before the second fill but it has a similar time out. Sorry if this answer seems obvious or something, i'm only an Intern and am still learning the language. That seems to have done the trick, from my understanding that lets it run until it finishes (SQLServer will shut it down if the connection stays open longer than it allows). The ta.fill runs at about the same pace as Toad coming in around 19-20 second mark and does not error after multiple tests.
i noticed a problem with a program i made that occurs when an array element is called to use but is empty under a certain condtion therefor throwing an exception. i tried to define that element after the array was initialized to give it a default to use, but its not workin for me?

but value contains an empty string I confes to being a VB n00b, less than a week, in fact, but I can't see what's wrong there. The file exists, it contains a section called "Config" which has an entry called "UserName" with a value - but even if not, wouldn't value take the default?
Edit: It's not returning an empty string - it's returning whatever I initialize value to before calling GetPrivateProfileString().
Which is to say that if I Dim value As String = "xxx" then it stil contains "xxx" after the call and not the default value.

I created a button in my form which is used to add a new textbox.But before that, the button should identify if all the textboxes that have been created are empty.If there is an empty one, it would not add a new one.[code]
View 2 Repliesi have a next button that is enabled only after a textbox is filled its working fine but the problem when a user fills the textbox it will be enabled then clears the textbox it will stay enabled and he can proceed how to stop that ?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to track down the cause of an annoying interface bug in an app that was ecently upgraded from VS2003 to VS2008 (the bug did not exist pre-migration).What happens is this :1) User clicks in textbox containing a date.2) User clears date3) User tries to move to another field, but can't. No error messages appear - it's as if the validation failed.Further info :1) The textbox's Text property is bound to a dataview which uses a datatable as its source. The bound field is a nullable datetime field with no constraints or default.2) The Validating event fires and the CancelEventArgs property is not set to Cancel. The Validated, LostFocus and Leave events all fire as well, going LostFocus > Leave > Validating3) I can't see any code changes relating to the control or the datasource with a couple of exceptions. The first is that this :
Me.txtRangeEnd.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", Me.dvClientNos, "RangeEnd"))
has now changed to this :

I have a form with a textbox, and i would like validation to occur so that a blank field is not allowed
e.Cancel = String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox.Text)
Does not always work, because it still allows me overwrite an existing field with blank spaces, and then update.
So, my application has multiple text boxes for entering different numbers. Only numbers..
One problem I've run into is that I get an error when a textbox is totally empty. If I throw at least a zero in there, it works fine.
How would I make a textbox display "0" when someone deletes everything in the text box? I don't want it to be empty, I just want it to show zero.
I have textbox that is empty and where the cursor is flashing and I wish to move to other textboxes.What happens is that the error message is displayed first and when I press OK, only then can I move to the other textboxes. How do I stop this happening. Am I missing some code.

Ive got a Form application in VB.NET.I have many text boxes on one form (about 20). Is there anyway to check them all at once to see if they are empty instead of writing out a massive line of code to check each one individually such as
If txt1.text = "" Or txt2.text="" Then
msgbox("Please fill in all boxes")
I'm using the following code to set the cursor automatically (important) to the first empty textbox on my form:
Private Sub FirstEmptyBox()
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
TextBox1.Select()

I am using VB.net to create a simple winform. I have the option to save the data I input on that form. I am trying to prevent the user not to save the data if textbox10 is empty.

I started editing an existing code (basicaly to learn vb) without any real previous experience. Well let's get to the point;I have a form that gathers data from db ordering by user ID (on click count).I have one DataGridView with a list of user,some have data in db, some have not. I came so far that if I CLICK on a user that have data, all data is dissplayed in 6 dinamyc textboxes.If user has no data inly first (emty) row with 6 dinamyc textboxes is created.
BUT THE POINT IS (my question to you) - I have a button that simultaneously adds a row of dinamyc textboxes bellow and multiplyies textbox04 (name is clickcount & 4) and textbox05 and displays the result in textbox06.I want to add a messagebox that shows if textbox04 & 05 are empty and in that case exits sub. Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim newpound1 As Integer

What can I put between Then and Else to ignore Dim newpound>newpound.clear?

I have an ASP.Net 2.0 textbox which I need to be validated as having some content, but where whitespace alone is valid input. A required field validator seems to reject a pure whitespace input as invalid. A regular expression validator won't fire at all on empty content. Is there a simpler way round this than using a custom validator control?

When im using a loop in my program and i'm trying to use an Error Provider to pop up whenever a textbox in my groupbox is empty for some reason I cannot get it to work, can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
For Each ctrl As Control In GroupBox1.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox Then
If CType(ctrl, TextBox).Text = "" Then
[CODE].............
I'm not receiving any type of error, it's just that when a textbox is blank the error provider is not doing anything.
how I can allow the program to exit while the textbox is empty but I can't figure out how it works really..it will not allow me to exit,enter, or tab out of the textbox while its empty.
