Put A Timer On The Form That Needs To Be Auto-Saved?
May 5, 2009
I am creating AutoSave functionality for an application. Its an mdi application. it needs a seperate form where the user can turn AutoSave onoff and set the interval in minutes for it to execute. The users values for these i plan to saveupdate etrieve into my.settings.
I plan to put a timer on the form that needs to be AutoSaved. If the user turns off the timer from the options form, how would i go about stopping the timer on the form that needs to be saved? Should I change the timer to be "Shared Friend" and access it directly from the options form or what?

Below is my timer code, click the buttons it start and stops.
What I want to do is retreive a elapsed time from a db say 01:40:00
and make the timer start from that value as opposed to starting over again if the application crahes. how to set the saved time and start from that point.
Public Class Form1
Private stopwatch As New Stopwatch
Private Sub counter_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles counter.Tick

I have a textbox, a sql database, a binding source bound to the sql database. I can use auto-complete mode of the textbox with custom strings and it suggests in in a drop down form as the user types in a textbox. How can I use autocomplete mode with datasaved in different records of a field using the bindingsource?

I would like the autocomplete list of a textbox to be the words that the user has previously typed and saved. For example if they enter "dog", "cat" and "fish" I want the autocomplete suggests to show these three options. So far my Code only shows the last user input. I expect there is an easy solution as I am new to all this, but I can't seem to find it on my own.

I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.

I have a timer in vb.net and it's interval is 1000ms ,. i have placed in it's timer_tick event a code that will print screen the screen and save it to a database.The problem is when i click outside of the form, or loosing the focus of the mouse to the form containing that timer/printscreen, the timer stops. As a result the printscreen also stops.here are it's properties:
generate member = true
interval = 1000
modifiers = friend

I'm using a System.Timers.Timer in a service that seems to keep ticking after it has been disabled. I'm using autoreset = false so I would expect it to only tick once unless I start it up again. I'm calling stop again, just for good measure, but the timer keeps on ticking.I'm using VB.NET in .net 1.1 and don't have the option to change frameworks.Here is a simple console app to reproduce the issue. This is not the actual code from the project.I believe the interval is long enought to prevent any thread issues in raising the event multiple times, but I will admit I'm not a threading expert.

Private Timer As New System.Timers.Timer(10000)

In the Form1 class there is a server-based timer: when the "elapsed event" fires, then I update the text of a Label1 on the Form2. A very simple code:

I have now had two occurances of (different) users "losing" their frm position. I save the position to my.settings in the formClosing event ... and this is the only place that these values are set. When the users loaded the form the first time it worked just fine. At some later point the for got repositioned to -32000 (top) and -32000 (left). I now check for this and reposition the form when it is not on the monitor, but I'd like to understand what causes this. I'm using VS2010 and compiling against .net 3.5
Is the formClosing the wrong place to put the logic to save the settings?

I have a rather large VB.NET solution that has many forms. I am using Visual Studio 2010. When opening the solution one form will check out and produce an * putting in astate of needing to be saved as though I had made a change to the code or form. I have compared the code of all 3 files (.vb, .designer.vb, and .resx) to the source repository and I get they are identical, so basically nothing has changed. It does not appear to be harming the project in any way just aggravating and I was wondering

This always happens to me in Visual Basic. Whenever I save a project from one day and open it again using that same VB version the next day, I can never see the form design. But if I click on Debug, I can see the Form design and only use it as if it were a program.

Is the StartUp form of a program saved in a variable (i.e. from the name space My) ? I guess I can catch it during startup by using an Object Type variable during Load time , but I wonder if it is already defined anywhere else .

I am working on VB.Net. I have a sub form with a datagridview, that is being loaded with the criteria taken from another form. Hence this form is called with parameters.
Here is the code that calls the sub form.
Code:
where ds is the dataset to fill the datagridview and rb is the string from a radio button on this form.
Here is the code in the sub form.
Code:
Now, I need to refresh this sub form every -- minutes, depending on how the user wants it to be. For this I have given a NumericUpDown control to select the mins. All this works fine. But how do I refresh the dataset and the datagridview?

it's just for a program registration. i would store all of the registration codes in the access database, then export it to XML, then upload it to my web host. I would then somehow connect it to my Visual Basics login form (Which I have already made). If this can't be done, having them register through the form and having all the allowed codes on the internet (So i can easily edit them)!

I am currently developing an application in which I would make a form full size automaticly.On the location where I set the time parameters, lets say, I want an event to occur every 2 hours, in which the event would be a form becoming full-sized and, on that form a clock which would show that the form will resize on its original state after lets say, 15 minutes.And also I would like to disable the Windows Start keys.I tried some codes but they were for an event if the key is pressed.For this I need the keys to be disabled as soon as I start my application.For the full size form I have used this code:
Me.Height = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height
Me.Width = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None

I have been battling with resizing a form in code, using either a timer or a for loop. When I say resizing, what I want to do is create the effect of a rolldown/rollup window. On my form, I have a groupbox with search criteria options, and underneath the groupbox, I have a datagridview with several buttons.
The effect I'm trying to create can be seen in Windows XP Security Centre; when you open up the security centre screen, you have your firewall, automatic updates and virus protection areas; to the right of each, there is a small round button, with either an up or down arrow, depending on whether the section is rolled up or down. When you click the button, the section rolls down or up smoothly.

I've started to write an application in Visual Studio 2010 (VB) and I have trouble finding a way to create a button that starts a timer that after 3 sec displays next record of a database (something like slide show). I have a form with 3 textbox (id, field1, field2) and 2 buttons (start and stop).
