Away back in the days of "dBase 3+" and "Clipper" we had a useful command called "COPY STRUCTURE" for copying the structure of a database table without copying the data. Does VB.NET have a similar capability for cloning a DataGridView and for cloning a DataSet?
View 3 RepliesIf have a control that acts like a record selector from a database, say, for example, customers. The control must act in certain ways allowing the user to type the name, the alias or the code of the customer, and the control will select the correct one, or offer a list of possible candidates, and other behaviors. I have tried to inherit from ComboBox, but there are some ComboBox behaviors that make it difficult or impossible to do what I want, so I'm better starting from scratch, with a TextBox and Button.
The questions are: Do you know some open-source component so I don't have to start from zero? Have you already done something like this and want to share methodologies or tips? Am I good with a TextBox, a Button and a PopUp control?
I have a form that accepts a byval client object in the New
private _client as clsClient = Nothing
Public Sub New(ByVal client As clsClient)
InitializeComponent()[code]....
On the calling form I have labels bound to the properties of the _client object, like first and last name.On frmEditClient if have textboxes bound to the same fields.What is happening that I don't understand is that when I'm showing the frmEditClient as a modal window of the calling form, when I change the first name, for example, the labels bound to those fields on the calling form are also changed as I type, indicating that they both point to the same object.
Now this is rather cool, but I expected the object to copied and a new instance to exist in the frmClient modal form, but obviously it is the same instance.Is this because the object is a reference type and so by specifying byval in the frmEditClient creator has the same effect as passing byref? I wanted a separate object in case the user edited the object in frmEditClient and then decided to hit the cancel button and not commit the changes. In this case, do I need to clone the client object before I send it to the frmEditClient?
Like this:
dim _cloneOfClient as clsClient = _client.Clone
Dim f As New frmEditClient(_cloneOfClient)
If f.ShowDialog() - DialogResult.OK Then
_client = f.Client
End If
Problem: There is no clone method. How do I get a copy of an object that is a new object?Or is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
I have a groupox in a VB.NET winform app. The groupbox contains a few Labels, Textboxes and Checkboxes. This was created by simply dragging the controls out of VS toolbox. What I need to do is take the 1 Groupbox and at runtime create multiple Groupboxes to display based on user selection. Instead of dynamically creating the Groupboxes and other controls nested inside, is there a way to clone or copy the original one. Then I'd just change the properties. Label text, Textbox text, etc. And the location of the Groupbox in the layout.
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to deep clone many of my objects via serialization. Most of it works fine, except when the original object has event handlers for their events. Then the holders of the event handlers are being cloned as well. Anyways, from web browsing it appears the right way is avoid cloning the events. However, you cannot put <NonSerialized> in front of an event declaration, but the C guys seem to get around this by writing [field: NonSerialize] (I guess directing the program to the underlying field, over my head). What is the VB .Net code equivalent to this, as I can't find it?
View 5 RepliesI'm currently trying to write a program that will clone input from one program and broadcast it to 4 other windows (Mouse and keyboard, with the exception of the enter key). This is for a World of Warcraft and it is legal. I thought that I would use setWindowsHookEx, but I can't figure out how to set it up that it only takes the input from one window and not globally.Can anyone recommend the best way of cloning keyboard and mouse messages ? or give me an example of how to set a windows hook for only one program ?

View 4 RepliesI have data that I'm taking from an Excel sheet with the ultimate goal of displaying in a DataGridView.
Currently I am just going over the UsedRange of excel data and plugging it into a datagridview. This works fine, but can get bogged down when there 100+ rows of data.
I have also toyed with going from excel into a dataset (using the same wasteful method), and as expected it takes about the same time to load the data. Maybe use the XML from the Excel file?
EDIT:
Some Additional Information:
This is a WinForms application and the user will be picking and loading the excel file at run-time.
EDIT
The Return of Some Additional Information:
The Excel file is located on the user's pc. The general assumption is that they will be loading different files each time they use the application. [not sure if this helps, but might be good to know :)]
Okay so I have a datagridview that is bound to a dataset. I have a column called type is a string char of either C, R, A, or V. The problem is that I want to sort the datagridview rows using that column and do so in the order I just gave so I want rows with C on top and then R and then A and then V. Because these aren't alphabetical, how could I sort the items this way? I did look into the icomparer, but really wasn't able to figure out how that works.
View 4 Repliesmy question is, is there a way to filter records in the dataset and use that records to fill in the datagridview? for example, a datatable (with 3 columns: ID, StudentName, Gender) is filled with list of students. i have two datagrids in the form namely DatagridView1 and Datagridview2. DatagridView1 is where the the list of student where Gender is equal to M and DatagridView2 is where the the list of student where Gender is equal to F.in my current solution, i am using a loop.

is there a way without using a loop?
I have a data bound datagridview where I am allowed to add and delete rows.So a new row is the last row in the grid with the '*'. When a user starts to type in the new row, that row no longer is considered the new row. It is then inserted into a row above the new row (*). The user, however, can press 'Esc' key and this row gets deleted.If the user does not pressed 'Esc' but move the cursor along that row, this row will be permanently there. I have tested this scenario and check the underlying dataset and it registers no changes as in the myDataset.hasChanges=FALSE.If I call myDataAdapter.Update(myDataSet), nothing gets updated. How do I save this row to the database?

I have a datagridview on a form that is bound to a table in a dataset from another class.I use a data adapter to .Fill a table in that dataset and the grid displays the data fine.Works fine.On my form I have a textbox the user can type in that will will pass a parameter to the storedprocedure used to fill this table. So on startup the textbox will have "%" in it. and then the user can type in "F%" and get everything that starts with an "F"
So when that textbox changes I launch an async refresh (.BeginInvoke) to do my refresh. The table gets populated with the reduced number of records (I check ds.table(0).rows.count and it is correct)
But the datagridview then starts throwing datagridview.dataerror events. "System.IndexOutofRangeException : Index # does not have a value".It looks like the dataset is getting filled correctly and not having any issues, but the datagrid is not liking this update. The index out of range error is so common that I'm not finding what I need through searches.

I have a datagridview that was bound using the wizard and all the column created that way. So I haven't done any code to bind the datagridview. It will pull the data from the database and dataset just fine. My problem is when I create a new row it won't update the dataset or database. I have tried different ways that I thought it would work in the code and still haven't found a usable way to do it yet. Or if I need to do all my binding and columns through code give me an idea where to start if I have to go that route. This is my first experiences with Datagridview. I normally use comboboxes and textboxes to write to a dataset and database which all work very well.

Basically, This is a projects form and the user needs to select the the primary contact which is contrained by the customer id (GETbyCustomerID) set in another field. I have it working... mostly except the combobox only displays the contact ID which is completely useless to the user. I need to know how to display the First and Last name (both are seperate columns in the table).

View 5 RepliesHow to bound this dataset to datagridview?
[Code]...
I bound my dataset to a datagridview and when I did any changes with the data in it and try to send it to the database (pressing a Button) got the error message:"InvalidOperationException error was handled.Update requires a valid UpdateCommand (or InsertCommand depend on the action)when passed DataRow collection with modified rows."I read the related posts but they didn't solve my problem. (I have primary key in the table and the AllowUserTo... properties are set to True.)My table is very simple:
ORG
Org_id Number PK
Org_name Char
[code]....
I add a row to the DataSet using the following code:
Dim NewRow as DataRow
NewRow = gds.Tables("TitleDataSet").NewRow
NewRow("Title") = txtTitle.Text
NewRow("Local_number") = nubLocalnumber.Value
NewRow("Number_suffix") = txtNumberSuffix.Text
etc.
This code executes without errors but the bound DataGridView remains unchanged (without including the new row). Obviously I am doing something wrong or I am omitting a vital command. What do I need to do in order to make the new row appear in the DataGridView? I did not choose to bind the DataGridView directly to the database table because the database is selected by the user at execution time. Instead I bound the DataGridView to the DataSet. I included the command:L
dgvTitle.AllowUserToAddrows = True
but that did not have any effect.
Solved. Was missing the final command:L
gds.Tables("TitleDataSet").Rows.Add(NewRow)
