Binding At Design-Time To WPF Labels, Buttons, Etc?
Jan 27, 2011
We're developing a WPF & MVVM application that requires multi-language support. On each control with static text, we're using a converter to do a lookup for the appropriate word for the user's language.
However, this means that each control does not display any text. This causes some irritation for the UI developers at design-time. Is there any way to display design-time text?
For example:
<TextBlock>
<TextBlock.Text>
<Binding Converter="{StaticResource Translator}"
Path="Controller"
ConverterParameter="Search for" />
</TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>
How can I make this converter execute at design time to display the translated converter parameter?

Im doing my first project with WinForms, and Im trying to get the DataBinding working. Theres no database in my project, but I'd like to bind some of the TextBoxes to objects' properties. In the other section of this forum (here) I found this line of C# code which does it: textBox2.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", this.myPerson, "LastName"));
my question is can data binding to object properties be set up during design time (without writing code)? If so, how? P.S. I know how I would set up this binding if in WPF, but I'm forced to use WinForms.

New to reports here. Using VB.NET, my application makes use of datatables it creates from a postgresql database.These datatables are defined at runtime rather than design-time, and I would like some way of generating reports from these datatables at runtime as well.
Should I be trying to create the report template at design-time, and then "binding" a datatable to it at runtime?

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

using VS2008, targetting framework 3.5I have a rather complex UserConrol which does some of its own rendering.I display this UserControl on a form.Opening that form in the Designer creates an instance of the UserControl in the Designer, which tells me a NullReferenceException is occurring in one of my rendering methods.I have attempted to correct this by making alterations to the UserControl's default constructor, but have not found success.

I need to design a simple label designer that could print labels for shelf items, just like in a grocery store. The requirements are that the label shall contain a name, a barcode (e.g. Code39 symbology), price and room for some extra text.

I am writing a program in which I need a particular set of buttons and labels to perform the same function... in a manner such that only the button next in order can be clicked (following which an input box pops up to offer options) I tried to define a new button and a new label object which is assigned the current label/ button.
B = Button1
L = Label1
but it doesn't work. I'm not sure if this assignment is allowing only the reference to be passed as I require (so that Button1 reflects changes when I write code for B, etc.) Also i learned that arrays of objects are no longer supported in Visual Studio 2010. Is there an alternative way to do it?.... If I could define an array of objects or something similar I think I'll be able to manage..

I'm currently working on a program where I'm trying to dynamically create a picture box, a button, and a label for each item in a text file. Any ideas on how to do this? What I have: a plain text file with a list of numbers. Each number corresponds to a location. When that file is read, I want to create a picture box, a button, and a label related to each number. If I want to add something to the screen, all I Have to do is add a number to the file. So, lets say the file has. 1, 2
When the file loads, it will create a unique item on the display for each location. say pic1, button1, and label1 and pic2, button2, and label2. Right now, if I add something to the file, I have to go back into the editor and manually add everything. Which is a pain.

I am using the BindingNavigator control on my form. I want to use my own buttons instead of "BindingNavigator". I tried double clicking on "Binding NavigatorMoveFirstItem" button to see the code behind it. But nothing is there.What is the code to use the BindingNavigator but on my custom buttons? Actually I want to use my custom buttons but the same code which BindingNavigator uses and then I will delete the BindingNavigator.

I have an awful lot of it "down" by now, in that I understand how to design a form and add buttons, how to set properties and am even learning "procedures and parameters". But I think I'm missing something, and it's probably my own fault as I jump around the book (I'm about 1/2 way through the 500 page volume, and have completed chapters from the beginning and middle) I think I understand the "Visual" part, and I think I even understand enough of the "Basic" part to get going.
I want to write a simple program to take our downloaded bank statements (what better time to do this than tax time and sort them out. They are .pdfs so I need to first copy the text and sort of "break it apart" and add tabs etc so I can import to a database (I've been playing around a lot with databases too, and have a good grasp on that part of the equation) I have been reading (in the book) about reading text files with StreamReader, and Replacing Text Within a String, etc. how to "get going..." how to even start writing a program. Do I start with a form? Do I need to create a Visual interface to run the Basic?
Are there existing examples somewhere I could "get my feet wet" working with that already have simple find/replace functions? It's almost as if I know too much about the more complex stuff like "Denoting Scope Using Variable Prefixes", but not how to write a simple program. I'm adding to this -- as I think about it, the main "Project" used throughout the book is a Picture Viewer. I think it if had been a "data replacer" or something like that, I wouldn't be asking this question! I don't want to open a picture, I want to manipulate a text file.

I need to create a form with radio buttons, text boxes, labels, etc.. This information needs to be pulled from a database. For instance, I have a form that displays information that needs to be inputed to a database, based on what test is being done for a specific product. Each product requires different tests. So each product may or may not have the same information that needs to be inputed..
What I have done is made a database and filled a table with each product and what tests apply. I then call that database after the product has been selected for the tests. It will then fill an array for that products information for what texts boxes and labels need to be shown. I wanna take this further and have it create a form through code and align all the controls to specific spots so that it will look nice. For example I wouldn't wanna create a control and have it be cut out of the form, or have other controls overlapping others.

I want to make a simple quiz game like kbc in vb.net 2008, for that i have created five buttons in my vb application. and one table in sql as under
create table kbc
(
Question varchar(100),
Option1 varchar(100),
Option2 varchar(100),
Option3 varchar(100),
Option4 varchar(100),
Answer varchar(100)
)
And i have inserted these records in this table like this
insert kbc values('Largest key of ur pc is ','Enter','Backspace','Shift','Space','Space')
insert kbc values(2,'How many muscles are there in a human body ?','206','602','605','208','605')
Now back to my vb form the first button will catch the question and second,third,fourth,fifth buttons will catch options from sql database that i have shown. just as kbc i want to show one question with its four options. and when user click on any button i also want to check the right answer. right answer is also in my kbc table's Answer column. to do that i have written this code
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
[CODE]...
On all button's click i have declared temp variable to catch the last column's text from my sql table and then i want to match this text with the text of that button the user clicked. if texts match i want to go to the next question of my quiz program. how to do that working. but it is not working as i want.

I have a form in which I add 9 labels in Run Time with .add method inside a panel. When I try to remove those labels in Run Time using For Each Loop, only 5 labels get removed. My code is given below.Code to Add Labels
While rs1.Read()
channelid = rs1("s_id")
Dim channelLabel As New Label[code].....
When i run the loop without .remove and .dispose it alerts .Text of all Lables present inside that Panel and With .remove and .dispose it does not remove all Lables and does not alert all .Text. In other words it misses 1 after 1.

The three labels "Floor" "Typ."

I am certain this will occur too with the textboxes.I also need to keep track of these boxes for further use with the program.

I want to have a bunch of different screens, yet I don't want to have to use 20 different forms (I'm pretty sure that's bad practice anyways), and I don't want to lay down all the controls at once in the designer because then things get messy. I had an idea of running a sub on startup that would dynamically generate all the controls I need with all the right coordinates and settings, and then dump al the ones needed for a specific screen into a Panel. Then I return an ArrayList of panels, and pull out the correct panel to attach to the form when I need that screen. The only problem is that my form will not have any implicit knowledge of its controls, so I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to use the WithEvents / Handles. keywords to declare handlers in the form class (which is what I'd rather do).

I created the dataset and connection to my SQL database at design time to make it easy to drag and drop bound controls and stuff to my form. My problem is this, when I did this it creates the connection string in design time also, but the connection varies depending on where the software is installed after the development.My question, is there anyway to set up the bound controls on my forms and everything with the typed dataset created in design time on the connection created in design time... then when the application is run, can it change the connection string at run time to get it connecting to and creating the dataset from the the correct sql database?
