How can I add a new form to my project that is based on an existing form in the same project?
I want to add a new form to my project with the same control layout as an existing form in my project, and then just change the label text and so on.
I tried to just copy and paste, then rename the pasted .vb file, but get an error when I try to open it for modification.

View 3 RepliesI'm building a code editor app in VB.NET (Framework 4.0) and it opens all ".por" files into individual forms consisting of a MenuBar and TextBox (multi-line).Currently I have 20 forms (all duplicates of the first on I designed) and if there are say 4 ".por" files in a directory, the first four will open up while the others hide.
I think it would be far more efficient by coding a new form For each item in form1's ListView...but I want the next so many to be a copy of the first form I designed since I spent a good bit on it.
Using the new Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta.Created a project, form, controls, etc. Worked great. Love it, compiled perfectly.Saved everything, closed the program, went to bed. Woke up, opened the project, but now CAN NOT open the form (form1.vb) in Designer mode!! I can open the code, it's all there, exactly as I left it, but cannot get back to the designer mode to (easily) add more controls to it!F7 just opens the code, right-click just gives me code option, not designer option.This is amazingly frustrating..

View 4 Replieshow to write the code for my project.I am to base my new project on an existing one(existing one has code that works 100%)and create an Array of a structure that bascially holds the information from a summary form AND the totals from an AddToOrder_Click event. If you are still with me)... I cant figure out what the code is for my structure and Array so that I STILL have a Summary Form but I have an array that shows when I click my PrintPreview. So an Array is basically a "space" that holds information, like my summary form except it doesnt show until I click PrintPreview right?
If I just wanted to show the table then my code belongs in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage to show the array but the actual structure code belongs in the Click_Event of my AddToOrder? Please Please understand I AM NOT asking for anyone to write my code, basically I am asking for some clarification on what exactly creating an array from a structure is and therefore determing where the structure is to be placed in my code..

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a windows application form in vs 2005 for a client.. It's a data-tracking application. I have a few questions.The client wants a logon screen to be added into the application (at least any way or method that'll ensure that security was applied). My question in regards to this topic would be; Is it necessary to create a logon screen (or even a user authorization) for a windows form? I realize that in a webform project, security should always be considered and should be applied in all areas. Although with a windows form, I thought you can authorize who can gain access to the application by defining which workstations to install the final production release of the application (when its time to deploy the file). Is this correct?
My next question is, what is the best method to exporting data from EXCEL to SQL tables? I have many Excel files that I'd like to take portions of data from each file and insert them to there proper table.
The last question is about deploying a windows form application. As you can tell, I don't have much experience when it comes to developing Windows Form projects. Anyways back to the topic, When deploying a project, does it provide a .EXE file (installation package) to install the application on the workstation? Or is it a .EXE file of the application, where you can run it and no need to install anything?
I have a form called FrmPracDetails, which has details of practices and each practice has a unique prac_no populated on the form in the text box called TxtPracNo. Now, I have another form called FrmPayHistory. This form has a datagrid called DgvPayHistory, which is loaded with all the payment history of all practices. It has also a field called prac_no and stores the unique prac_no.
What I want to do is, when a user is in FrmPracDetails, lets say prac_no 1115, then you open the FrmPayHistory. Only the payment history of that respective prac_no should be seen. Presently, it brings all the practices and their payment history. I have added a textbox (TextBox1) in the FrmPayHistory which links and displays the prac_no from FrmPracDetails with the following code:
Private Sub FrmPayHistory_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.TblPayHistoryTableAdapter.Fill(Me.TblPayHistory._TblPayHistory)
Me.TxtPracno.Text = FrmPracDetails.TxtPracNo.Text
End Sub
