View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a VB.NET application that allows a user to copy an Active Directory user or template in order to create a new Active Directory user. Currently a user right clicks on a template and chooses Copy, then enters info for new user.user is then created just like the template user. How can I perform these operations using the VB.NET framework and Active Directory or Account Management DLL's?
View 4 RepliesIn VB.NET,I want to create template at runtime and save it the template with name. for ex : Administrator design a page with 5 fields like using firstname, lastname, dob,nationality and job. He want to assign this page to the user with some restriction like user1 need to enter the all the fields and save it the forms as user1profile, but user2 need to enter only firstname and lastname and save it as user2profile.(in features, he can remove the fields from the form).
View 1 RepliesI'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).
I want to develop an app with custom forms. When I finish to create a custom form, how can I set this form as a template? I want to select this form from the templates, when I add a new form to my project.

Names By Letter.
Dim NewNameWindow As New FormNameWindow()
NewNameWindow .Text = "Starts With *"
NewNameWindow .Show()
Where * would be the letter you click on.Lets say i put the name in the wrong window by mistake - is it possible to send that text to the correct form.
Could anyone point me the way on how would I be able to add my custom Form template to VS.Net?

View 7 RepliesI downloaded Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition last night (the total download took about 3 hurs, but I digress). I started duing the little "Learn Visual Basic" tutorials. I've gotten to "Communicating with Your Program's User: The User Interface" and it asks me to open up a new project. Alright, fine, nothing I haven't done yet. But the problem is that it wants me to open the new project up in Windows Form Application.

I am designing a form that will create a template of data that will later be loaded into another form.From a menu command "Create New Template" I will need to ask how many Fields will be needed for the new template in an input box. If the user would input say 10, then I need to generate 10 labels, 10 text boxes, & 10 combo boxes. Each group (label, Text Box & Combo Box) on its own row on the form.I also want create the data mapping for each of them at this time.Once I have achieved this then I will add a form that will lookup the template name, and row count given from the above form via the database and load the required rows of items for further data entry.
Since I will have a MAX row limit I thought about designing a form using a Table Layout panel with 25 Rows and 5 columns then doing some sort of .visible true/false for the layout panel row after the user input of row/field quantities.Another question is resizing the form around only the visible rows.
the right direction on methods used to extract data to a form (fill out the fields)? I have use a form within my access database itself, however I do not want the users going into the database anymore to print. I have looked into using word, but it seems more complicated than it should be.
View 3 RepliesI have a project that will need several forms with a similar structure - a Data Grid View control, a few buttons and some textboxes. They are not similar enough to use just one form and change things programatically so I would like to create a "template" and add several copies of it into my project. My first attempts have failed miserably, ending up with lots of "conflicts" and "duplicate items".
So, how should I save a form from my existing project in such a way that I can then load in multiple copies (giving them suitably different names) without having name conflicts?
I am trying to create several forms by copy a form. the only difference is the controls. One has a Listbox the next has a Listview so on and so forth. When I copied the orginal form creating a SelectForms3. I get a bunch of messages about multiple definitions. I did not get those message with SelectForms2.Is it possible to copy forms in VB? I got like 20 of these.
1 'Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
ok.. I'm not going to pretent that I know all the inner workings of the windows generated code.. but it was lots easier on vb6.. so I have a program that I wrote.. one for one version of our product and one for a newer one.. the config screen is very similar
from A to B.. so now I'm trying to make one version that has A and B config screens and I'll show one or the other based on some other setup.. so I just did add existing and pulled in the config form from the other project.. but now I get lots of these type errors

How do I recursively copy all files and directories? - vbCity - The .NET Developer Community
Now, I want to add a line to display text like: "Copying file xxxx" for each file being copied.
I created a label and code like
label1.text = sFileInfo.fullname (added it in "for each" loop)
but this code never fire until last file.
I have an excel sheet with two columns. One column is the name of a file and the other column is a name that will be added to the filename once the file has been copied.
Example:
Column B = test.tif
Column A = find
The result will be = find_test.tif once the file has been copied and renamed......
All is good, however, it appears my program is not looking in subfolders and only in the main directory folder for the images.
What I have so far for the copy portion:
'copy the files specified in column 1 of the first sheet of the Excel workbook
'from the folder given by txtSrce to the folder given by txtDest
Dim xls As New Excel.Application

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

I want to know how i can when the usr clicks a button create an extra row of input boxes
And if possible be told how to make the form scrollable, so i can have many, many input boxes present when required
I'm developing an application which relies on several files to be copied over to a specific location on the users hard drive ("C: est") when they run the program for the first time, and am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to account for the fact that the original location may be in a different location for each user.
Any ideas for either getting the path where the files would be and then copying them to the desired destination?

I have a tab (created in the form developer) that contains about a dozen controls. I need to be able to clone this tab w/all controls. I have no problem creating the forms. However, the controls don't copy. This is true whether I create the new tab with a string:
TabPages.Add(MO.Name)Or with a tab object assigned to the base form:
Dim NewTab As New TabPage
NewTab = MyBaseTabPage
TabPages.Add(NewTab)
In either case, my first tab has everything it should have the other tabs have, the other tabs have only the tab name.Basically, I want to be able to clone my base tab into n number of tabs.
How do I enable Ctrl+C, Ctrl + X and Ctrl+V for textboxes in my application? I can copy, cut and paste by right-clicking the textbox but keyboard shortcuts won't work... Also, in the menu under Edit I have Cut , Copy, and Paste but they don't work either. Under the code for these buttons I see the following:
Private Sub CutToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles CutToolStripMenuItem.Click
' Use My.Computer.Clipboard to insert the selected text or images into the clipboard
End Sub
I'm trying to implement cut, copy and paste functionality in my application. My menu is on the main form of my MDI application and I would like to cut copy or paste from any textbox from any mdichild.
