View 6 RepliesI have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.
I don't know how exactly it is called but I look for a function like in Excel when I write e.g. in the first cell a 1 and then pull the field down with my mouse and it automatically completes the following cells like that:
1
2
3
Is it possible to this in VB.Net and how except that I have to add every time one I have no idea.
So I have an excel app with a drop down list and it contains many values. Is there a way I can just search through that drop down list in vb.net? I can't seem to find where these values that populate the drop down list even come from So I thought just searching through it is easier?
View 1 RepliesI am experienced VBA programmer and I want to expand into Visual Studio 2010 (Express version at the moment, bacause it's free). What I need is some code samples to get me started. Possibly showing all relevant aspects. Here goes:
A form has products as icons (in ListView?) - ordering is done by drag and drop onto a basket Products will have color and size - selection is done by two TabStrips or similar feature ( if TabStrip control is still available in ViStuEx2010)Database might be Excel sheets if possible, but other free options are OK (if Excel can cooperate with ViStuEx2010). How about XML residing on the Web? SkyDrive?
Menu and starter of the application might be from Excel too - but I'll be glad to learn newer ways - code needed for both options: when Excel is a starter and compiled ViStuEx app. is a starter.
I imagine that many people write order taking applications using drag and drop interface.

I have read some of the other posts on this and seem to be a little different than my situation. Trying to print out some reports into an excel document on the clients machine - of course it works fine on my local (heard that before right). I went in and set my references Ms.Office.Core and Ms.Office.Interop.Excel to 'Copy Local' = True so the .dll are in the servers bin folder.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently building an intranet engine for a project I've got on the go at the moment,and I'd like to save myself a little time by generating header images from code where possible, however, I'd like it to match our concept image.What I'd like to achieve is below:My issue is I've not the faintest how to create that from code. I can do the absolute basics but that's about it.I start to fall down when it comes to the gradient background and the drop shadow on the text. I can get away with positioning the text on the larger header image, so if it's not possible to generate the exact gradient I have there, then I have a work around for that, but what I really want to achieve is the text with the font and drop shadow.

I am trying to avoid create/drop table scenario with a perm stage table.How can I get this table to persist until the data gets loaded into the perm table?
