Databound Combobox Returning -1?
Sep 10, 2009All I want is to enter text into a databound combo box. If the entry is not in the list, then the user should have the option of updating the table that the combo box is bound to.The way I have set up the project is by dragging objects from the toolbox and having the application set up the datasource through the data sources tab. This in turn creates the bindingsource, dataset and tableadapter.For updating the combobox I have added code into the leave event. This does indeed update the client table as required. However, the id stored in the quotes table is -1. How do I make sure that the correct id is stored that references the newly added client record. For your information, the client table only has an id and clientname column.
The code is as follows:
[CODE] Private Sub ClientComboBox_Leave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClientComboBox.Leave
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim dsClients As New DataSet

Apr 11, 2011I am designing an clock-in/clock-out program as a learning exercise. So far I can type the name of an employee and add them to my timeclock database in a row called "EMPNAME". The issue I'm having now is that I need each of those employees in column of EMPNAME to appear in a combobox when I hit "GET LIST". Is there a simple way to do this using a SELECT statement for the commandtext? I've tried to google but cant find exactly what im looking for.

Combobox - Returning "hidden" Value?
Feb 15, 2012Fairly new to the VB.NET world, but a long time Access and FoxPro programmer.I'm trying to do something that was extremely easy in Access, but can't believe it is this difficult in VB.NET.I populated a combobox with values from a mySQL table. I want to return a hidden value from the combobox (Username), but the values that are being displayed are the full names (Firstname and Lastname). So the user selects the full name, but never sees the Username.
I've searched many different sites, and have seen examples that involve creating classes, and other complicated ways of doing it.This site explains what I am trying to do, where you select a City Name from the combobox, and it returns the zipcode. [URL].. However, the ValueMember/SelectedValue doesn't seem to work for me, or I am not understanding how it is used.or even a link showing my how this is done? I am just not finding the right info on my own.

Combobox Bug - Text Typed In Combobox Appears In Another Control (textbox) On The Form?
Feb 20, 2012I have a tab control application, each tab loads a particular user control and each of those user controls will then add other user controls that are used amongst other the user controls. For example, I have an "ucQuotes" page and an "ucInventory" page, when the specific tab is selected, the "uc****" user control is loaded on that page, and in the case of "ucQuotes" and "ucInventory" they both use a control called "ucPartNumber"; a user control consisting of a combobox, textbox, and button. I have no issues reusing the shared user controls, in this case. My problem arises with my "ucQuickPrice" control, as it is always present at the bottom of the tab control form (separate from the tabcontrol, but on the same form), and it too uses ucPartnumber.
Here's my issue, as I type into the ucPartnumber combobox, the text I type does not appear in the combobox, it appears in the textbox of the ucPartnumber control that is being used on the tabcontrol page. There are no shared instances of ucPartNumber, nor do I have this issue between typing on one tab page and the text showing on the user control of another tab page.I tried just creating the ucPartNumber controls on the ucQuickPrice control, not adding a new instance of ucPartnumber on the .Load event, and the issue persists.
The combobox(s) in question are bound programmatically with about 40,000 items, ".datasource = dataset.tablename" not to a bindingsource. Autocomplete is set to none, I added code to utilize tool tips and the basic combobox filtering functionality. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm neglecting? I'm about 95% complete with this application, and this just happened today. I made the decision, to just reuse the ucPartNumber control on the ucQuickPrice control (originallly it's size and orientation would not fit, but I added some coding to detect what parent is adding ucPartNumber and to change its appearance accordingly). Before, I made this change, I did not have this problem. And, in trying to go back to how I had things set up before the change, the problem will not go away. if the whole control within a control verbage I used is a bit confusing, let me know and I'll try to better explain what is happening. At this point, I'm going to close and reopen vbexpress, as when I started this ordeal, vb started acting weird and wanted me to save all my work, it usually does this before locking up.
Change List Of Combobox A Based On Item Chosen From Combobox B?
Jun 17, 2011I am new to vb.net and I am using visual studio 2010. I have two comboboxes on a form, each combobox is set to DropDownList so that a list of items can show in the combobox, but no text is allowed to be entered.
For combobox A, if user chooses item 1, the list of combobox B should be updated accordingly. I think this is quite common on a lot of applications. But I do not know to implement it. I even do not know the keyword to search for the relevant property or event handler.

VBA UDF Returning #VALUE
Nov 13, 2010So I have a pretty simple UDF written in visual basic for use in excel. It calculates your approx. taxes. Lets say I use it as such: =Taxes(I23-I18,I24-I20,"Married")

.net - Make A Custom ComboBox (OwnerDrawFixed) Looks 3D Like The Standard ComboBox?
May 3, 2011I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:
How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?
Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.
Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.
Here's the code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)

C# - Returning XML From A Web Service?
Mar 20, 2012I have an XML file that sits on the hard drive of a Server running my Web Service. I need to access that file from another application.
This is my method on my Web Service
Public Function getXMLFile()
Dim xmlDocument As System.Xml.XmlDocument
xmlDocument = New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
[Code]....
This is caused when I try to return the xmlDocument object
From the information I gathered, it's like SOAP wants to wrap my XML in more XML and stops me from doing that.
How do I go about getting the XML File from my Web Service if I can't return XML?

View 2 RepliesReturning A DataTable In WCF And .NET
Apr 25, 2011Thanks William, that was the ticket. Had to assign the name property on both ends [DataTable.TableName].
On a side note here: There appears to be some school of thought (no offense Marc) that the following statement is always true:
"Everything in the world can and should be made into an object."
It is, simply, not always true. There are cases where you cannot cram your 'object' into any cookie-cutter or class no matter how you try to customize it. For me to objectize this beast, I'd have to create roughly 4,000 objects. I don't have time to do that, and yet this project must run as a service. Frankly I think the developers at MickeySoft need to get out more into the real world, and see for themselves that although theory is great it does not represent true-life challenges. I am all for working with objects for the obvious benefits, but there is a reality that universals do not exist. In my trade, even 'most of the time' rarely happens.
Before they push out a new technology set, and cease support of an old one, they need to make sure that the new technology has the same capabilities the old one had.
For the record: The people who believe the above statement to be true are also the same people who would refuse to take the project I'm currently working on.
Just the same -- thank you both for your time, efforts and opinions!
