I have a report viewer that i would like to display different data in depending on the report button that the user clicks. The data is stored in access databases. I am able to retreive the data and display the initial report but i have not been able to change the report/data that is being displayed.
View 1 RepliesSynopsis: I have a report generated from the report wizard in VB that works, but I only want to load data from the same department as the current user.
Details: The application connects to MySQL using the MySQL Connector/Net. I have a users table in the database, one of the fields is "Dept_ID." The report I currently have works loads data and everything fine, but I only want to load some of the data from the table, specifically where Dept_ID matches the current user's Dept_ID, basically adding the "WHERE" clause to the select statement.
I used the report wizard to generate the report and data table, etc, just followed from step one. I've looked around and have found something about using parameters, but can't seem to figure out how to pass a variable to the parameter, or if that is even the best option. Using the wizard, I don't have any code to show for it and the report works like it should, I just need to figure out how to configure it further.
Can you look at my coding and let me know what I'm missing or doing wrong?I have a SSRS report that is called from a ReportViewer control and the ProcessingMode for this control is Remote. The report also has 1 parameter in it's DataSet.In the code I placed a MsgBox to make sure the code is finding the parameter and returning the parameter name. I am trying to stick the value of 10 into the parameter for playerID 10. Data for this player does exist.
I believe I need to add some more code to make this work but I'm not sure what else to add.
When the code executes the report is displayed but no data is shown in the report.

View 3 RepliesI am reasonable new to programing and have ventured in to using VB.net after creating macro's etc in excel, as this seemed to be the easiest transition into the world of programing.I am creating a application to work with an access database and before I submit the forms textboxs to the database, I check to make sure each field is filled in and if it isn't then I highlight the field by changing the label back colour to orangered.
What I have is a bunch of textboxes and a label above each saying what the field is. so for example the textbox name is txtBox1 and its label is lblBox1, txtBox2 - lblBox2 and so on.So what I thought I would try and do is, as the user leaves the txtBox after editing, the label background colour would be changed back to transparent.
As I have multiple txtbox's I thought I could do this using sender to get the name of the txtBox on leave, strip the first 3 letters txt and change them for lbl cast it as a label, then change the background color but I cant seem to convert my string to a label control. can someone help me with what am i missing or not doing.

I need to allow the user to rotate a control (the control inherits from a TextBox) in 90 degree increments so the text can be read from either side, or even upside down.
I'm guessing I could override the control's paint event and just paint it in the orientation that I want, but I'm just wondering if there's a quicker/built-in way?
I'm quite new at this but I'm trying to change the look of a tab control other than the options provided in the control's properties. In short I want to create a large tab that will fit a picture but I don't know how to change the size of the tab. I also want to make the control look somewhat different than what the control provided with VS.NET looks like.
What I need to know is how to create a custom control that operates the same as tabcontrol but looks different than the traditional control provided with VS. I tried looking up how to create a custom control but all I could find was how to create one programatically and I don't know how it would apply to a tab control. Maybe the only way to do it is programmatically but I would rather play with the control in the designer than having it appear only at runtime.
I Have a VB.net form with lots of controls to save as config: textbox, radio button, check box... but these a Scatered inside tabs, panels, groups..
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to change the look of some controls in VB.An example would be a button, I now have a stack of 4 images on top of eachother. By using the mouseover events and such, I get the same result as a normal button. However, I'd like to be able to insert those images into a normal button like thing.
I know it's possible to do this by creating a custom control, but that'd end up with the exact same code, just in a different file.
However, the real issue would be a dropdown box and slidebar. I'd like to get them to look nice with my theme. (Background, buttons, borders. Things like that..). I got absolutely no clue on how I should do that.
I know that there's a tool to create controls, but that's from scratch and I can't get a grip on it, at all.

I am creating a program with a web browser component, and a tab control. Default, the web browser is anchored to the toolbar. In my program there is an option to make a toolbar at the top of the form visible.false. Is there a way to make the web browser anchor to the top of the tab control when the toolbar is not visible, and anchor to the toolbar when the toolbar is visible?? I have experimented with docking (fill) but then parts of the web browser become covered by the toolbar and status bar. I am still relatively new to visual basic 2008 so if you could please explain or provide code.
View 14 RepliesI am running into an issue with changing properties of controls on a VB.net project that I am working on. The portion of code that I am having trouble with is re-enabling a couple of buttons and a ComboBox after a Threaded operation completes. The point of it is to disable the buttons after clicking the main "run process" type of button (called cmdCrawlSearch) so that the process can run on a new thread while the form is updated with the status. I was able to learn about Thread Safe calls using delegates in order to update the Text property of the TextBox (txtOutput) on the form, and thought that enabling buttons would be just as easy, but when I am trying, I am either getting an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception, or an "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" exception (from the current version of code) with the InnerException being the Object reference exception. I am posting the portions of code related to the issue, then below it is the InnerException name and stack trace. Perhaps I am not using the Delegates correctly (since I still do not fully understand what can and can't be done using a Delegate.) Or there is a better way to do this.

Both applications were developed in VB using VS2005.
Each one has its MDI container and their MainMenuStrip set up..
What property/reason would be causing this? I just created a test program simulating the same case (MDI container with child forms) and everytime i maximized the control boxes appear in the correct position.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to change the UserAgent of the WebBrowser control in a Winforms application.
I have successfully achieved this by using the following code:
[DllImport("urlmon.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
private static extern int UrlMkSetSessionOption(
int dwOption, string pBuffer, int dwBufferLength, int dwReserved);
[Code]....
The only problem is that this only works once. When I try to run the ChangeUserAgent() method for the second time it doesn't work. I stays set to the first changed value. This is quite annoying and I've tried everything but it just won't change more than once.
This problem is with the WebBrowser component. The code posted below is what I am trying to insert into the control before it renders the page for the first time. This question actually stems from this post: [URL]. I am developing the application in C#, however the problem is not really language specific.
When I have a page that has a javascript call to:
window.print()
I am wanting to override the print method so that pages do not pop up the print dialog. I can do so by inserting this into the top of the html:
window.print=function emptyMethod() {};
I now just need to figure out how to get this code into the document html before the browser control renders it for the first time. I have tried a number of things (for a complete list, see the post listed above), all with no success.
I have VB.NET code that is called when the selected tab index of a tab control changes, I am trying to get the code to change the text in a text box to the URL of the web browser control that when the tab changes. I have the code below, however it gives errors:

I am working on a application which is basically a screen designer. I have implemented the form designing capabilities using IDesignerHost and other interfaces. In my application user can pick a component from toolbox and drop it on the designer screen and can configure the properties from property window. I have my own set of properties which gets populated from database. Screen designer is working fine but the problem occurs when user changes some properties from property window. Say user changes property 'Width' then I change the width of the selected control in designer but the problem is SelectionOverlay shows the old size. When I select another control and select old control again, SelectionOverlay(resize handlers which appears around the control) shows properly. How can I tell the SelectionOverlay that the size of the control is changed.

Excellent I think, I can finally start moving some of the access applications to VB.net and use SSRS to provide some embedded reports, everyone is happy.But not so fast, it turns out the standard build of desktop here only has .net1.1. I have managed to dust off a copy of visual studio 2003 (The last edition that could target 1.1) and built a few little tests to check DB connectivity. The problem I am having is the report viewer control is only available in .net2.0 and above.So what options do I have for displaying my SSRS reports in a VB.net1.1 thick client application?
Before anyone asks the following options are out
Going anything web based (Farrrrrrrrrr too modern for the company + no web server)

Using a Windows Form with a Menu bar and a Gridview control, I have bound data to the GridView from an MS Access 2000 database query using Dataset. The contents of this table displays just fine. But I want to be able for the user to select a different query from the menu bar and display it in the same GridView control. How can I change the query bound to the control (in VB)?
