View 3 Replieshow to create forms and connect them to a database etc. When you see some applications for using databases you dont just get the form in the middle of the screen you get a sort of form inside a surrounding platform. A bit like running Access DB inside the runtime environment.How do I do this in VB Express?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to build a user control that will do exactly what the SQL 2005 Connect to Server interface do, eventually create a connection string and store in a app.config file. It should allow user to select server type, server name, authentication, user name and password. It should also automatically load available servers and domain login by default.
View 11 RepliesI'm new to the forum and very new to visual basic, and my knowledge base and experience with visual basic is very limited. I'm taking a class and working on my final project. For this project I am to create several forms such as a form where the end user would select a general item types to buy such as a shirt of running shoes, on the next form they would choose a specific shirt or running shoe, and the last form would be a totals form where there is to be sales tax added to each item purchased on the previous screens. The following are my issues:
-Should I keep all the forms under one Project with one Solution page i.e. all encompassed under the one overall project design titled something like Running Store Project, if so how can I add an additional forms to an existing project? Or should I start a new Project w/a new Solutions page for each individual form and then link them together in some fashion? I know just a little tiny bit of what I should do when linking the forms together, I believe I need to choose true or false under view in the properties window, but I don't remember where that is on the properties page and don't know if that is actually correct.
-Also, (and this question might be taken care of w/the previous question), how can I get the taxation amount to be coded for each item purchased? Is there a way to link up the controls in one form to the controls in another form? I assume there has to be a way to do this or it wouldn't make any sense, the info labeled in the controls must be able to flow from one form to another or this wouldn't work anywhere.
So, as you can tell I'm pretty lost on this whole thing, and on this assignment my instructor has asked that no one ask him any questions, unfortunately this is the first assignment where it has been necessary to link individual forms together. I have about 3wks to complete this project and am trying to get it started early enough that it won't be too stressful to complete.
I have 2 forms (Form1, Form2). Form1 seems to recognize Form2 with no additional coding. From Form1 I can load a Combo Box in Form2 with a button and this code;
Form2.CBequations.Items.Add(txtVariable.Text)
txtVariable being a textbox in Form1 and CBequations being the combobox in Form2.But from Form2 I cannot do the same to Form1. It says "Name 'Form1' is not declared." Form2 doesn't recognize Form1 orany of the objects on Form1.

I have a desktop WinForms app that I would like to be able to connect to my Sql Server database that I have through my GoDaddy webhost. Problem is not all ISP's forward the 1433 port (like mine) so I can't connect directly to the DB from any of my home computers without buying the expensive dedicated IP address package, which has me thinking since my website can connect directly to the DB I was wondering if it might be possible for me to make a dll that would have all of the database interaction through subs and functions and all my WinForms app would have to do is connect to that dll through http or something, anyone know if I could do something along those lines?
Reason for this is I would like other people to be able to connect to this database (the winforms app would have screens for creating and managing accounts, etc) without worrying about whether their ISP would block the DB port(s) it would just work.
I've got a big database driven project...15 forms 50+ input boxes and im wondering how to do it effieciently.

E.g. My vb form will have a gui that consists of textboxes, buttons etc... that will enter the data to web forms.

I am using VB code behind in Visual Studio 2008 to process data but can't figure out SQLConnection problems. I copied and pasted the connectionstring for my database from the explorer properties window but when I paste it inside the parenthesis of SqlConnection() it gives me an error. Also if I name a variable " dim myconnect As New SqlConnection" in does not give me all of the methods or attributes that are associated with it. Is this a Express Edition limitation or do I need to make some specific declarations to get it to work. this is what I have so far

Dim myconnect As New SqlConnection()

I know what code I need to enter into to the two buttons I have I just do not know how to open the wizard.
