I have the following code block. I'm tired of typing the same IF statement to check if the string has any lenght before assignning them to the class properties of Employee.
Is there any better to accomplish this?
Dim title = txtTitle.Text.Trim
Dim firstName = txtFirstName.Text.Trim

I need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?
Dim Gfx As Graphics
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint Or ControlStyles.UserPaint Or ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
Dim rectBrd As Rectangle 'use as clipping region for drawing

I have a question regarding the dataset usage in Reporting Services. I have a stored procedure which returns multiple select statements (result tables), and I created a Dataset in Reporting Services 2005 with this stored procedure. The problem is that I can not reference the second or third result table, and I can only use the first select statement fields. Is this the limitation on Reporting Services Dataset or is there a way to use multiple table results in one dataset?

View 12 RepliesI have a piece of code that loops through the rows in a database and brings out information.
The code is attached to a button(search). To search for data, you enter a phone number, the loop goes through the data rows and bring out the information is it is there.
Everything works great accept I have added a second table to the database.
So do I add a whole new loop statement? Example lets say I had a new data row, how can I add that to this statement so that both tables are searched?

I have a connection to a MS SQL database, which I understand is capable of handling multiple SQL statements in one Execution, ie
Code:
Using cmdExe As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
sSQL = "Delete * from mytable where UniqueID=123;Insert into mytable (UniqueID, Field) values (123, 'something')"
cmdExe.CommandText = strSingleSQLLine
cmdExe.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
will delete from "mytable" and insert a new record all at once. This is great, but I want to expand upon that to use parameters because using string concatenation in my SQL queries is a bad idea. Now my question is this. If I add a parameter which is used in multiple SQL statements, do I have to add the parameter VALUE twice to the command object? ie, will the following code work?
Code:
Using cmdExe As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
sSQL = "Delete * from mytable where UniqueID=@uniqueID;Insert into mytable (UniqueID, Field) values (@uniqueID, 'something')"
cmdExe.Parameters.AddWithValue("@uniqueID", 123)

There are two questions here actually...can I add the parameters before setting the command text, and do I have to add the same parameter over and over again?
I'm trying to use ADO to create several tables at once, into MS Access. Is it possible to do multiple statements in the one operation?[code]This fails due to a "Syntax Error in CREATE TABLE statement", although each of the create statements work on their own perfectly. Is there a way of doing this sort of thing? There will also be statements to add constraints, add indexing, etc., and I'd really like to be able to do it so that I don't have to split up the string into separate parts.

I have 2 tables in MySQL database. These table were joined through a query and handled by a dataset. Im displaying these data through setting the dataset as the datasource of my datagridview. But when it comes to Update, Insert and Delete statements, I got an error because the sqlcommandbuilder does not generate statements in multiple tables.I want is, when I press the update button..all the changes made in the datagridview will be updated in the database. Can i make it without creating a datasource in design mode or through smart tag? If I have to manually create an UpdateCommand for adapters..Can I have a code snippet for that?
View 1 RepliesI have a form that contains multiple conditional or if statements on several defferent for controls.
Example: Radio Buttons, TextBoxes and CheckBoxes.
I am intending to create an order form(demo) where the user can select multiple products.
I have a default order number that changes by one everytime an order is successful.
An order is only successful if all the information on the form is entered correctly.
My question is where do I insert the code for the order number?
Basically for the order number I have a counter that count by increment of one if an order is successful.
Meaning when the user hit place order, and all the infromation is right, then the order numer goes to 1 from zero.
Where do I add the condition for the order number since all the fields must first be completed.
Do I have to create a whole line of if else statements?
I have a method in a webservice that has parameter with which users can decide how they want to order their results. This is a List(Of String) with the names of the fields in the order they want to sort them. I know I can normally order on multiple columns by doing the following
Dim test = Bars.OrderBy(Function(x) x.Foo) _
.ThenBy(Function(x) x.Bar) _
.ThenBy(Function(x) x.Test)
However in this case this won't work since I can't chain the ThenBy function because I'm adding the sorting orders in a loop. To use ThenBy I need an IOrderedQueryable collection. This is how I would want it to work
Dim sortColumns = {"Foo", "Bar", "Test"}
Dim query = From b in Bars
For each column in sortColumns
Select Case column
Case "Foo"
query = query.Orderby(Function(x) x.Foo)

View 6 RepliesI'm working on a new DAL for my latest project. As the performance is essential I'm avoiding late binding/reflection as much as possible. One central part is the DAL function for populating Business Objects.One class is called in order to connect to the database with the given SQL (stored procedures can't be used in this environment) and the given Business Object or List is populated. As different Business Object types will be populated by the same function I made an Interface that all of the Business Objects implements with the Sub called "Fill". The question is - will reflection be used in this scenario? My thought was as I'm "describing" the objects trought the interface the compiler doesn't need to use Reflection.

I'm writing the following bits of code for a SaveFile Dialog box in Visual Basic 2010.NET. The code works well as the XLSX file is created and opens in Microsoft Excel. However, the problem that I am having is that if the program overwrites a file, the user is getting two prompts. One prompt is from the program's own SaveFile dialog confirming the choice. The other is from Microsoft Excel asking you the same. It's as if the program is running in the background.[code]

View 4 RepliesOne feature of C# compiler is that namespace declaration by default follows the folder name structure in the project. By e.g. you have MyProject1MyDrawing and inside you create a class MyPoint the namespace for MyPoint will be MyProject1.MyDrawing
In VB I cant see any namespace declaration(apparently it implicitly 'inherits' the project(MyProject1) namespace). If I create a MyPoint and MyLine clases in the MyDrawing folder I need to surround each of created classes with "Namespace MyProject1.MyDrawing"..."End Namespace".
Is it possible to automatically name the namespaces like in C# by the folder name?
I have an MS Access database and an MS Visual Basic 2008 front end.I get this error when trying to update a record that has related records:The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'X' includes related records.I only want to update one field in the row in the 'parent' table which is not the primary key field of either record but the 'Update' command seems to want to rewrite the whole datarow. Rewriting the whole row causes the error (as this updates the primary key). If I switch off refrential integrity checking in the underlying database this solves the problem except that I want to maintain referential integrity so its not really a solution. I have tried beginEdit and EndEdit with no success - same error.Is there a way to update just one field in a row and write that back to the database?
