View 2 RepliesI want to divide the content in my application to groups each group has its own rectangle border with the group name located at the top border, i've seen it before and i'm not sure what is the correct name of this control, anyone knows what I'm talking about ? EDIT: Ok, I found the Groupbox Control but how do i use it? should i just drag other controls inside it or i should add controls directly into it?
View 2 RepliesI am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.
View 6 RepliesI am converting VC++ to VB.NET and I cannot find a way to get the group "comment" in .NET. I can get the list of groups which the user belongs to with:
Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups
However the group "comment" does not seem available. The VC++ uses Win32 NetGroupGetInfo() to get the info.

View 7 RepliesIm brand new to VB and almost completely new to scripting.Where could I find a list of the most basic and useful commands with explanations, or even just like a dictionary of commands in VB?
Also, (this is a painfully easy question but searches haven't come up with any useful results) how do you make something happen if a button is clicked... Ill explain.
Ive made my first app - the picture viewer - and am currently expanding it. So far I have added a full-screen function with,[code...]
Now how do I make it Close full screen when that button has been clicked? Ive been playing around with it for a while but cant figure it out.
I need to find out how I can get the index number of a brand new row I just saved.
The table is set up with primary field as Identity (It auto generates the number
in column(0)- "DoorID")
Eg:
dim ds as dataset = DoorsData
dim dt as datatable = ds.Tables("Door")
dim dr as datarow = dt.new row
dr.item(1) = txtDoorNumber.text
[Code]...
What is the primary key value of the row I just added? I have another table with Col(1) as "DoorID" and Col(2) as "KeyID" I need to know what the ID numbers are so I can fill this table next.
I am creating a mortgage calculator using Visual Basic Express version. I am currently using the Console method, or command window view. I have it set up so the user can input the mortgage/loan amount, interest rate, term (in years), and have the formula for calculating the monthly payments.The problem I am having is that I need the program to display "all" the payments for the term of the loan, the loan balance/interest paid, and depreciating after each payment. The program should display a certain amount of payments, hesitate, then continue to display until it shows the end of the term of the loan. Basically, it is now an amortization loop formula I am trying to implement into the program.

I have a form with a webbrowser control on it, and I load up a local file in it with some code for a rotating banner (so I can support my app with advertising).The problem I'm having is, it is for example, a banner ad in the small banner sized control, when the user click's it, it loads the new page within the same control, which is way too small.I'd like for any click in the control to load up the link in IE itself, outside of my app. Putting target=_blank so far hasn't helped. Below is the code that I am loading up in my control.

What do I want to achieve: I want to perform some time consuming operations from my MDI winforms application (C# - .NET). An MDI child form may create the thread with the operation, which may take long time (from 0.1 seconds, to even half hour) to complete. In the meantime I want the UI to respond to user actions, including manipulation of data in some other MDI child form. When the operation completes, the thread should notify the MDI child that the calculations are done,so that the MDI child can perform the post-processing.Should I use explicit threading (i.e., create explicit threads), thread pools? Or simply just propose your solution. Should I create foreground or background threads?And how does the thread communicates with the GUI, according the solution you propose?
