Difference between Early and Late Bindings.
Example of Late Binding:
If
sender IsNot Nothing AndAlso TypeOf sender Is Values Then
receiveobj = CType(sender, System.Object)
a1 = CType(receiveobj.a1, Int32)
End If
How do I change this into the prefered Early Binding?
here you are one of the problem I had in my past few yeas spent in automating office processes with vba.If you develop an application and you don't know which office version is installed on the pc on which your application will be installed you can have problem with references.
[Code]...
i am having some doubt & problems.
(1) if multiple versions of MS/office is installed in a computer & if i use late binding which version office instance will be rendered by the system.
(2) in the same way if i early binding then which version of office instance will open.
still be more clear i use late binding code. but here how to set the number format of the cell to text.
I've been aware for some time that the Cells() property is early bound but the Cells.Item() property is late bound. In VBA this all works seamlessly apart from the fact that we lose intellisense in the VBA IDE in the latter case:
Code:
'VBA code
Cells. '<---- we get intellisense
Cells(1). '<---- we do not get intellisense
However, in VB .Net with Option Strict On this means that we have an extra consideration in that we have to explicitly convert to an Excel.Range if we want to set the range reference to a range variable:
Code:
'VB .Net code
Option Strict On
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
'
'
'
Dim oApp As New Excel.Application
[Code] .....
I'm comfortable enough with this because I'm aware of it and it is trivial to handle by explicitly converting to an Excel.Range. We also had a pretty good discussion about the Cells property a little while back in the VBA board which looked at some of its inner workings. My question is to dig a little bit deeper into the way that this has been implemented. I'm trying to get a better understanding about the reasoning behind the Cells.Item() property returning an Object rather than a Excel.Range?
I started programming in VBA, then graduated to VB6, and I am now using VB.NET 2008 Express.I have read, in the various posts, that I should keep Option Explicit and Option Strict both on, in order that I use correct VB.NET code and not VB6.I am trying to do that but am totally confused with the results of one of my programmes that was running perfectly with Option Strict off, but now advises:Option Strict On disallows late binding. To me it appears that I am using early binding, but to be honest I am not clear on the binding situation. I have checked through a number of google items, and a number of this Forum's items without seeing the light.[code]

I'm using a DateTimePicker (.net).Is there a way to update the value only when the calendar closes?Or is there a way to know when the calendar open/closes?The DateTimePicker is bound to an object and this object check the dates and pop a message box when needed.

This is the form I'm having problems with. As you can see I've created a tab interface which is working. There are five text boxes on it which are binded to the Staff table in the database. When the tab is changed, the binding is changed to a new field. However, unfortunately, when a new record is selected, the data bindings do not update, and instead, the first record is always being used. We suspect the problem may be coming from the fact that there is code to unbind from the text box and rebind it again. This is the code I'm talking about...
Private Sub TabCheck()
If TabState = 1 Then
pnlTabs.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.tabs1
txtBox1.Visible = True
txtBox2.Visible = True

I have a GridView and some textboxes, etc whose BindingSource is a list of business objects.
Problem comes when my business objects are updated programmatically. My objects implement INotifyPropertyChanged, and I raise the PropertyChanged event when the object is updated. When the object changed happens to be the selected row in the GridView.
I get the following exception: System.InvalidOperationException
DataBinding cannot find a row in the list that is suitable for all bindings.
How can I solve this?

The ZedGraphControl is just a GraphPane, and the TolSelectBtn is just a button. Problem is, the ZedGraph control binding works properly, but the binding to the button does not (both controls' Visible properties are set to False in the design window). Can a ToolStripMenuItem only handle one data binding? Or is there something else I should be looking for?
I'm trying to call this code in VB.NET with "option strict on":

The WordBasic object is dynamic, there is no type library available.Now the compiler will complain, because late binding is not allowed.
I have a project that I used the 'Connect to Database' tool to set all the bindings and table adapters, etc. Currently the database is housed in the same directory as the exe. I was asked if I could have the database location be a dynamic value. My question is when you set up a project to work with a database using the 'Connect to Database' tool, how can you change its location?
I found this setting:
ASRDBConnectionString
But its read only.
Within that setting is text that says: DataDirectory
So thought that might be a variable to change somewhere....but can't find it.
I have a form with a datagridview, 2 datetimepicker(dtp) controls, combobox, textbox, 3 buttons and a bindingsource. All my controls are bound to the datasource and seem to work fine when the form loads. One of my datetimepicker controls losses the bindings when I add a new row to the datagridview and save the changes. I validate the date entered in this dtp.

I'm trying to populate the list of a combobox by binding it to a datatable. Also, I want the selected value of the combobox to be bound to an object property so that when the selected value changes, it's automatically updating the object. However it's causing an error at runtime: "This causes two bindings in the collection to bind to the same property.
Parameter name: binding" I thought binding the dropdown list to a datatable and the selected value to an object were different properties but obviously I'm not getting it right.
