I have created multiple dropdown list at runtime and populated with data. I also have added an eventhandler to determine the selected value of the drop down list.
The code is as follows :
Dim tbl As New Table()
tbl.EnableViewState = "true"

I am in need of adding arr of type label at run-time. I am making a program which will retrieve employee name from database in different label. On clicking each employee name (label) it will display all the information about that employee in a msgbox. I use the following code to create the label. Since the number of labels is not fixed I have used an array.
dim withevents lblArr() as Label 'declared in the class
In the subroutine(Form load):
for i as integer=0 to NoofEmployee-1
redim lblArr(NoofEmployee-1)
lblArr(i)=new Label
' I assigned all the necessary property like size location etc..
me.controls.add(lblArr(i))
next
I declared another subroutine:
private sub MyClick(sender as Object,e as EventArgs) **handles lblArr(0).click**
MsgBox("Hello")
end sub
The code doesn't compile since a subroutine doesn't.
ok, i've been able to figure out that i can add a button to a menubar (like the file edit view, ones at the top of most programs) and so far i have figured out:

This question is about VB.NET. I'm quite a novice on this one, so please forgive me if you feel that this question is nothing short of crazy or whatever. Anyway, I've been a creating a simple Windows addressbook Form application. We all know for a fact that a single person can have one or more addresses, of which a one-to-many relationship holds true. So there, my application also has to be able to edit each of these addresses (by the way, my application uses an Access Database, which really sucks but it's part of my task), and I already thought of using a control array (just like in PHP but it obviously never worked in .NET) for me to edit them. How am I supposed to implement this?
View 3 RepliesI have a basic IDE for a user control i am building. It allows me to add labels to a panel and move them around, like a very basic form designer. When I add the controls to the panel at runtime, I'd like to give the control a unique name string like how the VS IDE tracks the controls it already has and adds an extra number when it creates the default control name. I have tried checking the controls collection each time a new control is added, but wasnt sure if there was a good string comparison method to return a name with a unique number on the end that hasn't been used yet.
View 2 RepliesI have created a usercontrol that contains two rectangle shapes to create a unique button effect and a rounded-corner rectangle shape serving as a border to provide a look similar to a group box. It also contains two labels, one for use with a Text property of the control and the other to indicate the status of expansion of the control. The control is designed to collapse itself when the "button" is clicked leaving only the "button" visible. Clicking it again toggles this affect. I've dubbed it an ExpansionBar. It is also designed to be a container control so that I can add controls to it and allow these to disappear when the bottom portion collapses. The problem is that the controls contained in this usercontrol cannot be accessed during runtime. In other words, I can add a checkbox to it and it will disappear correctly when the control collapses, but I can't select the checkbox to check it... same thing with any other controls, you can see, but can't touch. I'm a novice developer, so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

I've got a series of textboxes that are bound to a dataset. I've got them disabled and will be hiding them. Then I have a series of check boxes related to each textbox. The user clicks the check box and I change the value of the databound textbox. Nice and easy way to bind check boxes to DB fields. Any way to create these relationships at runtime - basically creating the events that I'm hardcoding right here.
Private Sub IntprtLead_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles IntprtLead.TextChanged _
, IntprtCheck.TextChanged _
, IntprtCons.TextChanged _
, IntprtSimul.TextChanged
Dim strValue As String = TryCast(sender, TextBox).Text

I know I can loop through the controls on the form and find these "named" objects easily enough. Is it possible to have more "generic" event code and then create the handles relationships at runtime?

View 10 RepliesI have added a DataGridViewComboBox to my DataGridView during design time. It has 0 items in it and I need to add a bunch of items to it during runtime.
In most controls, they have some kind of direct method like ".Items.Add("etc")", but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to access the DataGridViewColumn programmatically.
I can create a new ComboBox during runtime and add it to the DataGridView, but that's not what I need to do.
I played around with IntelliSense, I've searched on Google and I've looked through the documentation. The only thing I could find on MSDN was DataGridViewControlCollection, but I didn't see anything that would allow me to directly access that control.
I was writing a program for creation of form to ticket reservation. The form creation and everything is done a runtime. The problem is that i wanted to include a validation process in which the program will check whether user has entered the data(name) before showing select airline list box There are 2 if conditions which i both want to validate and if both the IFs are validated then i want it to show the list box.I dont know how to do that. Below is the code snippet

If (t1.Text.Length <= 3) Then

In the helpfiles of Visual Studio 2008 I read control arrays are no longer supported. There is an example for the new situation but then you need to hard code the names of all the controls beforehand.I do not know how many controls I need, could be one or 5000 (think simple image browser). Is it still possible to create something like that or should I change to a different programming language like Phyton? At the moment I work around it by using a browser control and then manipulate the <img> tags but I'm puzzeld as to why this functionality was removed and if there's a solution to the problem.Another thing I don't understand is where the app goes when it's installed with 'Click once'. It dissappears completely, doesn't show up in 'Program Files', can not be found by the search function but it *is* somewhere because you can start it form the Start menu. However, I use data which is in a subfolder of the program folder, which I nor my program can find any more after the app is installed. The program runs but it can't find any place to put/get its data so in the end it doesn't work.
I work around it by *not* installing the program but have people just run it after unpacking the downloaded folder. This works great but I wonder how long this will be the case until Microsoft disables this possibility? I have no idea why they would, but I also have no idea why they did remove the functionality I mentioned above. I already changed to PHP and MySQL because I had to throw away my carefully built W2K+MSAccess image database a few years ago and after installing Vista Visual Studio 2005 was a goner. OK, I upgraded but then no control arrays any more and now they hide the apps when you install them? Why on earth would they do that?
i am in runtime mode and have a form open. I do some calculations on it and based on those i generate some lines of VB code (concatenated and saved in a local variable). Is there a VB command that i can use that will take this code and INSERT it into another form?
i could copy the code, exit runtime, go to design mode and paste it into the form myself but because i want to do this for several subs for a lot of forms then it will become very time consuming.
I am very interested to see the answer as I would like to know the significant differences (if any) of generally using one more than the other. In a few days, I will be starting my Java programming class to familiarize myself with the language.I do know that Java uses objects.My question/discussion is not necessarily related to .NET (although in a way, it is); my question is more about what is a better practice and why.Is it more proper to declare buttons and such through runtime rather than designer? Is it just more work typing everything? Or does build and run much faster?

Any snippet of code for adding groups at run-time to a listview. I am currently listing books (and stats) without groups via the following code which is executed in a loop (one pass per book title).
item = New ListViewItem

item.SubItems.Add(Mid(titlenode.Nodes(N_JSTAT).Text, 3))
item.SubItems.Add(titlenode.Nodes(N_PUBLISHED).Text)

The listview is set to details view. What I want to do is group the book titles by series. For example, books by Michael Connelly may be grouped by "Harry Bosch", "Jack McEvoy", "Mickey Haller", etc. I can create a new group for each new series by
groupnum += 1
group = New ListViewGroup("group" & groupnum, _
System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left)
group.Name = "group" & groupnum
group.Header = series
But I cannot find how to add the group to the listview and add the new item to the associated group.
