Change The Default Modifier From Friend To Private In The Windows Forms Designer In VS 2008?

Jul 2, 2010

When I develop a Windows Forms app in Visual Studio using C#, every control that I add to my form is by default marked as private, which is what I want.

When using VB.NET, every control is by default marked as Friend (the equivalent of internal in C#), which is not what I want.

Can I just change this default? It seems like surely it's a setting somewhere.

Chart / DataGridView Object Refuses To Update And Designer Has Random Columns

Sep 29, 2011

I have an object (ClassGPS) containing a DataTable that is exposed through the property "Satellites". My form has a bindingsource that, upon load, associates itself to a new ClassGPS object. The table has 5 columns, two of which ("PRN" and "dB") I want to chart using the new 4.0 chart tool. So the chart object's DataSource = ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember = Satellites. That is all set in the designer.In ClassGPS.New(), the table is pre-loaded with 4 rows. This object is created before the form loads. When the form loads and the bindingsource is set to the created GPS object, the chart correctly updates and displays the four pre-loaded entries.On this form, I have a button that adds more entries. Tracing from the Click event, pushing the button does add the entries properly to the underlying table, and if I create a ListCHanged handler on the data source, the events are all correctly firing, but the Chart does not update to reflect the changes.

So to test, I added a Datagridview object. Just like the chart, I set its datasource to ClassGPSBindingSource, and the DataMember to Satellites. And here's where it gets weird. In the designer, the newly added DataGridView control has 4 columns in it labeled RowVersion, Row, IsNew, and IsEdit. I didn't create these columns, it does it itself. If I try to change the bindings on these columns to reflect the actual datatable names (PRN and dB) two things can happen:

1) If I hit Play (F5) to debug the program, the DataGridView looks and acts correctly inside the program and is correctly bound and updating fine as I add new data. In the designer underneath however, the changed columns have disappeared and are replaced with the original four it is creating for no apparent reason. When the debug session terminates, the columns - which just finished functioning fine in the debug session - are now gone.

2) If I hit Build, the designer destroys my columns immediately and recreates those it defaulted to.In either case, something very fishy is going on... in that the Chart, with the exact same binding settings as the datagridview, does not work but the datagridview works just fine (unless Build is hit prior to Run).Has anyone run across this? Can you reproduce it? I have bound a chart to a datatable before and it worked just fine, but it didn't have to update except when the form it was on was closed and later re-loaded.

Generic Object With Default Value Possible?

May 25, 2011

I have relations between two object, but is there a way to load an object when calling a property? I tought about a generic class above a object, where the value is set. On request of the property i can load a value out of the database at that moment.. This
can work i think but the problem is that i must call a sub property of Reference(of TObject) like pObject.Value to access the ObjectB.

So my question is, is there a way to execute code before loading a property (like with a base class or something else) or is it possible to set a default output to ObjectB for Reference(Of ObjectB) so i don`t have to access pObject.Value to walk trought ObjectB?

[Code]....
