I need to use an array at any part of the project. It has been suggested to me to build an array and show its result in a combobox. Instead of having an input textbox, i will have a combobox which will display 10 common names which are kept in the array.

I started programming in VB many moons ago, but I put it down about a year ago. I picked back up a project I was working on a few years ago and Visual Studio 2008 Pro had to convert it. It seemed to work just fine but I wanted to make it "look .NETish", so I simply copied all the controls and code into a new project.The new project won't display information stored in static arrays on a Rich Text Box. The arrays are declared public in a code.vb file and the array is populated in the load event for the main form.I've tried inserting a "test" button to see if I could somehow get it to display trying a few different things. Essentially:
Private Sub cmdTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdTest.Click
Dim test As String = Gems(0)
[code].....
Has array conventions changed or something in the past year or so? How do I extract the information contained in Gems() that I have so maticulously entered so long ago
I have a list of names in a database and what i want is to get all of these names and display them in a label or a text box to the user on the website. I have tried to do this using a for loop but it is always overwriting the label each time. I have a list of 10 different names in the database and what it is doing is putting the first name in the label and then overwriting this with the second name and so on until it reaches the last name. I think i need to store each of the names from the database into an array or an arrayList and then make the label display all of the contents from the array or arrayList. The for loop i have used for this is:
Dim g As SQLadmin = New SQLadmin()
g.DB("SELECT nameOfPerson FROM Persons")
For i As Integer = 0 To g.array.GetLength(0) - 1
[code]....
i can select the names from the database and store them in an array then make the label display each of the names.
I am working on a Windows Forms Application and I have got stuck and wondered if anyone can provide some much needed direction. [Code] The user makes a selection of, say region, and then a DB layer sends back some linq IQueriable(of sometype) for a particular month. I wanted to add a month column each time they select a month.
I can't seem to do this too well with a datagridview, I have tried making a class that holds the measure as string and value as decimal and then create a list of these to bind but then if I add a new one I have problems as it just overwrits the origional one. I could just place a series of textboxes and fill them as I go but this seems like it is a problem waiting to happen kind of way. What I really need is some sort of grid that is expandable.
I remember using a one liner, something along the lines of AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.Artist or something similar, that required no complex processing of the file, to display artist, album and song title. Using the WMP 11 control. It's been a while since i needed to use that and i've lost it.
Was wondering if anyone knew what that was, and if im mistaken, what easy method, without processing strings, files etc. there is in getting ID3 tags.
Im using Visual Basic Express 2008

I have a form set up for drag and drop. The dragging and dropping is working nicely, as it allows the user to put a pair of dots onto a rectangle, which is exactly what it is supposed to do. However, I would like to give them some information about where they are dropping the points. My first thought was that I could use a tooltip. However, it appears that tooltips are not displayed during drag events. The tooltip works well, and is showing what I want, once I have released the mouse button, but not before then. The only other alternative I can think of, and it is not a very appealing alternative, is that I have some labels elsewhere on the form to display the information.
View 9 RepliesI have been coding an application for a LeaderBoard for a game. I have all the Login sorted using Mysql and even have all the Account infomation displaying in lables etc. for account info form. Now I am trying to UPDATE information and this is how I was trying to do this...

mydata = mycommand.ExecuteReader()
But comes back with an Error saying... Unknown column 'username here' in 'where clause'. Now the username is in the database as I have just logged in with it and I am taking it I have the Query wrong somewhere.

View 1 RepliesI have a combobox that has filter items in it:
Me.cmbFilter.DataSource = (From f In files _
Let extension = "*" & Path.GetExtension(f) _
Order By extension _
Select extension Distinct).ToArray()
Displays OK in Vista - doesn't in XP
I'm trying to display some data in my combobox, the strange thing is that the combobox displays all data that has 4 four columns (I only want to display 3 columns out the four) but its not displaying rows that only have three columns?
For example
Text File
Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4
I only want to display columns 1, 3 and 4 so I use the following coding
For Each Line As String In System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(Line) Then Continue For
Dim Columns() As String = Line.Split(New Char() {" "c}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
If Columns.Count < 4 Then Continue For
Combobox1.Items.Add(Columns(0) & " " & Columns(2) & " " & Columns(3))
Next Line
But some of the rows only have
Column1, Column2 and Column3
Again I only want to display column1 and column3.
The Combo-box only has three items (Top View, From South looking North, From West looking East). Bound data from an Access Query called qryViewsFilteredByJob. I'm using it to pass a parameter to the filter for a binding source on a second query called qryAllSections2 (I don't think that's important though.)
When the form loads up it displays correctly stating on 'Top View', and I can click another other item just fine. When I pick another item, however, the first item, 'Top View', disappears and it replaced by whatever item I just clicked. So if I clicked 'From South looking North', the three item choices are now 'From South looking North', 'From West looking East', and 'From South looking North' again...

View 4 RepliesI need to populate some information into several ComboBoxes. The infromation should be read from the table in my database. Is it possible to read the information and populate it onto a combobox without using data binding?
I tried to populate several ComboBoxes, but if I use databinding, the ComboBoxes all show the same value.Also, if I select a certain value, it also selects that row in the table, which I do not wish to do..
I have a problem getting the right information to a ComboBox.I have a table in SQL Server that contains a list of names.I want to get those names to appear in my ComboBoxes shown in the picture. (DONE)I also want the list of names to decrease by the names already used in other ComboBoxes in that Form...
EXAMPLE:So, lets say I have a list:
Name_1
Name_2
Name_3
[code]....
In the Form, there are 10 ComboBoxes.I choose the Name_1 for ComboBox1, Name_2 for ComboBox2 and Name_3 for ComboBox3.The options available for all other ComboBoxes should be Name_4 ... Name_6.If all of the 6 names are filled, the rest of the ComboBoxes should have no option to insert into them...

I have a problem with combobox. I set the DrawMode into OwnerDrawVariable so I can draw items seperately with styles, but the characters of the items are now displaying blocks. The block characters are none ASCII. It used to display well but not now and I don't know what caused it to happen. I didn't change my system locale. At the same time, other combobox that have Normal DrawMode displays nicely fine.
My custom drawing code:
e.Graphics.DrawString(combo.Items(e.Index), combo.Font, b2, rect.X, rect.Y)
I am currently having a headache on how to solve this problem that i am facing.here is the situation:I have a combobox and a list box on the main form. The combobox will get the data from the ms access database.In the database, i have the details of a person's IC, Name and DOB say for eg on one entry I have D215311523C,SHAWN,13/04/1987
So now, my combobox on form load will show the list of dates in the database to allow the user to search base on the date itself by clicking on the selected date. So when the user clicks on the particular date say 13/04/1987, people in the database whose birthday is 13/04/1987 will be shown on the listbox.Meaning to say if i have 3 entries whose dates are the same 13/04/1987, 3 entries will appear. If there is only two entry, then two results will be shown.

I have an app that I am developing to keep track of my members' names and phone #'s. I have all current names and numbers in a csv file and they are read into a structured array. The app can add, delete, and modify members. I have everything coded except the 'Modify' menu item. The list box is populated with only names at run time, I would like to have both the name and phone number displayed in the two text boxes I have on the form when a name is selected from the list box. I can get the name to display in the text box I have for names, but since the phone number is not in the list box I am wondering how I can get it into the appropriate phone text box. I used txtName.Text = lstMemberList.SelectedItem to get the name displayed but since the phone number is not in the lstMemberList list box I cannot figure out how to get it into the txtPhone text box.

I need to construct a small program that "stores" entered test scores into the program then when a button is clicked, it will display the scores with the appropriate names in the box below. The values are the names "Brian" "james" "jimmy" "jock" and "gok" and there are two test scores "main test" "small test".. I need to be able to "store" these in a "database" and then when the user clicks "show marks" it displays all the names with the marks in a table format. I'm totally screwed and i dont know where to start..I already have done a little coding for the gui such as a password entering system and all that works, all I need now is this storing thing.

I need to convert hex values aa 01 00 17 f4 2f (as contained in byte array FrameData) to display in a label control as AA:01:00:17:F4:2F

similarly I need to convert hex data ('02 00' contained in byte array FrameData) as

The assignment called for a VB.Net (not web based) program that would accept user input for the loan amount, interest rate, and term of loan, and display the monthly payment of the loan then list the loan balance and interest paid over the term of the loan. the list will be longer than the screen so use loops to display a partial list, hesitate, and then display more of the list. So, I did exactly that and the program works fine. However, after submitting this program for grading, The instructor for the class tells me, "One thing you should work on is not using a timer to pause.
You should not use a scroll bar either." He says I should work on loading the results into an array or use a loop with a counter that can be used to display a given number of results with a more results button for displaying more (but without a scroll bar?). Like I said, this program works fine and I am not asking anyone for any specific code (some sort of example would be great but not necessary) What I am asking for is an explanation of how I would go about loading results into an array to be used for displaying just partial results at a time in some way other than I used here: [Code]
