DB/Reporting :: Changes To Typed Dataset Not Seen In Windows Form Designer?
Nov 19, 2008
I have a typed dataset with table adapters. I use this method because it makes it easier to design the layout of my DataGridView.The problem is I have added a new table to my dataset. When I go to the "Data Sources" list view, I can see the new table.However, if I add a new DataGridView to my form then attempt to bind it to my new data table, the table will not show up in the list of tables for that dataset.
I am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?
Firstly here's the code and i will explain my problem underneath. [code...]
Now as you can see I have a variable that holds a value member of the combo box Products which is the productID of the current product selected. Then it searchers through the products datatable and once its found the correct product or not it stores the answer in slectedproductrow. next I test to see if selected product row has found the product if it has i then see if the product has already been added to the order by seraching the the customer current order datatable if it hasn't it adds the current information to the order by using selected product row.
Now the problem i get is when i add the same product it still adds the information again as currentorderrow comes back as nothing everytime even if the product has been added before but if it was in the table which it should be it should skip that bit and just go to add the current qtys toghther.Also if i go to add a diffrent product it overwrites the the other one. So i can't store the customer order. Its like i can't store more than one row. By the way I have a datagrid and can see the product get over wrriten.
When the user clicks an "Edit" button on my form, I want a box to come up which allows the user to edit a DataTable in a strongly-typed DataSet. What's the best way to do this?
On a recent project I stumbled across a page of code that looked unfamiliar, but which evidently was the code behind my form design. I'll copy and paste an excerpt to show you what I mean:
'Required by the Windows Form Designer Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer 'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
[code]....
I thought this was a useful way to back up my project via email because it's in text form. But now I can't find the same information. I've looked in the Object Browser but couldn't find it anywhere. I think I stumbled on it the first time by right clicking Go to definition, but now that doesn't take me anywhere if I click on say form1. So where will I find this mysterious page that has all the form items information in text, not graphic form? Can't find it anywhere.
Most of my project was imported from an older version of VB (now I'm using 2008). All of the forms had a "Windows Form Designer Generated Code" that I could expand at the top of the form's code. When I created a new form, that was not there, and I found out that in the solution explorer you can "view all files" and expand the form and look at MyForm.Designer and that has the same type of instantiation code. My question is, is there some way to update the old ones so they too do not have that "form designer generated code" at the top?
In VS2010, targeting Framework 4.0, I have a UserControl which contains a TableLayoutPanel with an empty second row.Is it possible to add items to this second row using the Windows Forms Designer, or do I have to do it all via code?
EDIT: In reply to Hans Passant's comment, the linked question references a UserControl being used inside another control.I am asking a question about inherited controls.I have created the following test code, where TestControl is a UserControl containing a TableLayoutPanel named "TableLayoutPanel1":
creates a control which, when viewed in the designer, contained a TableLayoutPanel named "TableLayoutPanel1" which is not designer-editable.Creating a new UserControl, not inheriting from either of the previous UserControls, and then placing a TestControl into it creates an instance of TestControl with a Designer-editable TableLayoutPanel named "TestControl1.TableLayoutPanelX".Is there any way to make the TestInheritedControl class, shown above, Designer-editable?
I use the code about video capture of this site, it ran very well ! VB Helper: HowTo: Capture video from a video device such as a Webcam with VB .NET But I want to change the interface of form then after I customize my new one with button, picturebox (with the right name), copy the code again except this paragraph #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
I though I had solved this problem, but it is back:Code generation for property 'SelectedPeople' failed. Error was: 'Type 'ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person' in Assembly 'ECS, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.'The property on the error message is a List(Of Person) and for some reason it trigger this error, for almost anything I do, and its getting really anoying.Okanswering to the answers here is a little more information about the problem.
Yes it is during design time, it happens bascially anytime a open a form that has a UserControl that contains the Selected property in it, sometimes it happens even if I don't have focus on the form, also if I try to compile/run it happens and the message come in the form of a Message Box with just a OK, ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person is just a LINQ to SQL Generated Class, this should not matter at all to the problem, although I have added the attribute before the posting.he reason that this happens is because the Designer attempts to put the property on the Property Panel, and for that to happen, serialization happens.tryed to hide the property from the designer by using this attributes.
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _ <Browsable(False)> _ Public Property SelectedPeople() As List(Of Person)
I am making a TabStrip control to hold a number of tabs just like TabControl, but only with the tabs, no page. The control has a "Tabs Collection", which stores a list of "Tab" class. "Tab" is not inherited from Control, but each tab has its events. So when the user add a "Tab" in the "Tabs Collection", each "Tab" instance should have a (Name) identifier, which user can access it in the code, and with WithEvents keyword so users can add event handlers to each "Tab". The expected out come should similar to this:
Friend TabStrip1 As TabStrip Friend WithEvents t1 As Tab ... Me.TabStrip1.Tabs.Add(t1)
I created a dataset in Visual Studio 2010 containing two tables: tblCategories and tblAnswers. tblCategories has two columns: CategoryNumber (AutoNumber and primary key) and CategoryName. tblAnswers has three columns: AnswerNumber (AutoNumber and primary key), Answer, and CategoryNumber. The CategoryNumber columns in each table are related. I have a command button which I want to use to add a record to the CategoryName column in tblCategories with the data typed in a textbox. When I try to access the dataset to add a new row(dataset.tblCategoriesDataTable.NewRow), the NewRow method isn't present. I've done some reading which suggests that I need a TableAdapter, but it seems like that is for connecting to an external file because I have to select a connection. I have no external SQL files or database. I want the user to be able to create a database within my program.
I've got a typed dataset. I bind the data with a binding source to a form with arround 200 textboxes, dataedits and so on. Everything works fine with one exception:In my database I have empty DateTimes (DBNull.Value). And when they get bound to a DateEdit-Control, I get the following exceptions:
A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.StrongTypingException' occurred in myTestDLL.dll
I tried to change the NullValue-Property in the DataSet-Desinger to something else as 'Throw Exception', but it doesn't work for a DateTime. For other types like Integer or String it works fine.I dont know a nice solution (right now I fill the empty dates with some dummy date and make it invisible in the DateEdit-Control, but this is very uncool) and I hope to find some help here.
How do i use a while loop and MID$ function instead of the split function?i'm trying to have the input (textbox) compared to a list(array) in a text document?
I have some VB.net code that inserts data into my SQL database using a typed dataset as follows:
dim usersTa As New authorizedUsersTableAdapters.Authorized_UsersTableAdapter usersTa.Connection = New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(MY_CONNECTION_STRING) usersTa.Insert(first_name, last_name)
I am trying to add a record to a typed dataset using example code provided on msdn. Currently using VS 2010 Ultimate (Trial until box arrives) Visual Basic Windows Forms Project. Unfortunately I am having a bit of trouble.[code]....
Currently I am working on a project developed using VB.Net in Visual Studio 2010.Previously they were using Sql queries directly into SqlCommand of System.Data.SqlClient, but then after i shifted everything to Strongly Typed DataSet and started using TableAdapters every where..Now i just wanna ask that is this way is good for a project...Or Should i shift back to old ones using Just SqlCommands
I am trying to sqlbulkcopy. I have a dataset defined (.xsd). It seems that I cannot use it with sqlbulkcopy. All the information I can find on sqlbulkcopy shows that it can only take a connection string or a variable that contains the connection string.
I am deleting a row from a row that is currently selected on a datagridview.I am using a Typed dataset and my datagridview is bounded to a binding source.However, I think my technique is not the best, even though it works.
Dim drDelete() As DataRow ' Get the value of the PK from the currently selected row Dim drv As DataRowView = CType(bsAddressBook.Current, DataRowView)
My self and most everyone else on our team is having the same issue with VS2008. The designer will not render many forms in designer mode. Currently I am getting this error "The type 'Team.CAD.UI.My.Resources.Resources' has not property named 'view_16'" Well veiw_16 is in the resouces file.
I want to bind a column of a strongly typed dataset to a combobox. But the problem is i have to get only the distinct values from the column and also when a user inserts a value into that column the new value should be showned in the combobox at the same time.And also i want to make the first row of the combobox to be unselectable..[code]how to make this column distinct values
I cannot figure out for the life of me why I cannot reference a dataset table using the strongly typed name. I created a "news" table in a dataset to write out and read in a simple xml.
If you look at the code below this does not work: 'Dim TableFail As ADataSet.NewsDataTable = ds.NewsDataTable 'Does not work
I can access the table by using an untyped name however: Dim NewsTable As ADataSet.NewsDataTable = ds.Tables("News") What is the proper way of accessing the datasets 'typed' datatables name.
How do I close a connection of strongly typed dataset? I want to backup my database with a zip technique. But I can't access it when my program is open. I've closed connections of all table adapters but it didn't work.
I create one column which is tinyint then I go to VS2008 and create typed dataset by wizard. Then I check that column's datatype it is now byte datatype. MS SQL 2005 tinyint = VS2008 byte ?
