View 3 RepliesI have a .aspx page that loads three separate .ascx controls to represent adding, editing and listing objects. It currently simply swaps out visibility and enables/disables the controls to switch between pages.However, when listing objects (in a gridview), we offer the basic "Edit" button beside each one. Clicking on this will, obviously, load up the edit control for that user. This functionality exists inside of the control, rather than the parent page. Is it possible to modify attributes for the parent based on events occurring in a child control? (For example, change the visibility and enable/disable the other children controls)

I have been developing a Visual Basic 2010 .NET GUI based control application that has been growing over the last six months into quite an albatross. Suddenly, I have reached a brick wall where I cannot even edit a text label in the GUI without the following exception at compile time (debug) :
InvalidOperation Exception was unhandled
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index and count must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: count
This is entirely code independent - it happens if I simply drag a new control onto the GUI without even any code behind it - Once it happens the project is hosed - even if I undo or remove what I did.I have reinstalled VB from scratch on a new computer, and same problem. I am using Windows 7 and this happens with VB Express, Even with a trial version of Visual Studio Ultimate. I am completely stuck.
I have been searching all over to find some code that will get the Project/Application's GUID. I can see it displayed in the Project Properties and I want to display it on the About Me page as well as use it to check for updates. So how do I get it via code?

View 1 RepliesI have a icon for my application that I set in the project properties window there is a little drop down box to browse to the icon location. While debugging everything is good. Once I build the app and place it on a PC and manually start the app all is good. My app starts with windows and now every time the program goes to start I get an error that the icon cannot be found in the DocumentandSettingUSERNAME folder. So the question is do I have to place my app icon in this folder? In design I have the icon in the binDebug folder and that is were I point to in the Project properties page.

View 1 RepliesOkay, so I wrote a few custom ItemTemplates for VS2010 that implement IWizard in VB.NET (4.0). Straight forward enough. They work during my testing, but when someone else deploys and attempts to use any of them, Visual Studio throws an incredibly generic Exception has been thrown by a target of invocation error.
Stranger still, after they open up the project properties and try again... they work. Without changing anything. Anyone have any clue what is going on? Or perhaps even just a way of getting VS to give me a more specific error? I already tried devenv.exe /log but nothing out of the ordinary was there.
Each time I create a program, if I don't change the CPU type to x86 in the Project Properties, Compile, Advanced Compile options, it doesn't work. For example, if I hit the drop down button on a combo box, there will be no data, but after switching to x86, there is data. How does changing the CPU type affect how others (such as when its being graded) view the program? If the program is not run on an x86 system, would it appear to not work then?

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional to build a VB.NET console application. I have a text file that I want to copy to the output directory after a build. I would like to create a build event to do that, but I do not see a "Build Events" folder on the property page. Is there a setting where I can get this folder?

I have created a project that has an add a new record, edit record and a search form, that has multiple text, combo boxes and is working great.Last nite I have added a checkbox under my add new record form and i am saving the checkbox value to my database, so far so good. I would like to be able to search any record that is mark with a checkbox to show up in my search screen when I do a search: [code] The problem that i am having is that now that I have added the code to my project to search for the checkbox field in the search screen and if I leave everything blank and click on the the search button I get no record found. I expected to see all that data, since I have nothing selected. Now if I click my checkbox, as soon as I click on my search button I see that two records that I have added for my test.
View 1 RepliesIf you mark your application using "Make Single Instance Application" option in the application settings tab and run your application under a GUEST account or a restricted limited/standard account the application throws UnAuthorizedAccessException or CantStartSingleInstanceException.
Take the following steps to reproduce this behavior.
1) Create Windows Form application.
2) Enable the "Make Single Instance Application" in the project properties.
3) Log onto a GUEST account and open the application twice to simulate StartUpNextInstance.
We need developers to reproduce this behavior and post any valuable input if you experience these symptoms.
When posting information please include the following:
a) The operating system version + service pack.
b) The .NET framework version used.
c) Verify this symptom is present when running under GUEST account.
To workaround this issue turn off the "Make Single Instance Application" option ad create a Local named mutex in the StartUp() event.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub
