Forms :: Calling Forms Across Projects Within The Same Solution?
Jun 1, 2010
I have 5 projects within the same solution file, Im trying to access a form that is part of one of the projects from my startup project.I have looked through the earlier threads and most of them deal with calling forms from within a project.To my understanding ive correctly added the projects to the solution file from File --> Add --> Existing Projects.I have also referenced my Project2 from Project1 but still the intellisense does not let me access form1 of project2 from project1.

I am using 2 forms in a solution the first is the application itself (MainForm) while the second is for the settings (SettingsForm) My first question is how to let the (SettingsForm) to Inherits Or Share the Declarations in the (MainForm)? And how do I it Save Load , the settings if changed when the application is closed Some applications use *.ini files to save it's settings but I don't know how to load it back I may save it with this code:
[Code]...
I may save a settings if there a Check box by "1" or "0" where "1" means Checked while "0" means UnChecked
Also, if there is a radio button I may set the first radio as "1" second as "2" third as "3" The problem is with Loading the settings Here is the Questions once more: 1- How to let the (SettingsForm) to inharets Or Share the Declarations in the (MainForm)? 2- How do I it Save , Load the settings when the application is closed?

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

I've recently noticed that a solution can contain multiple projects. I'd like to know if I can create a form that exists in multiple projects, so i can edit one form (or class) instead of six, and have it published in each one of them separately? I hope that makes sense....I seek not answers, but understanding, that I may not solve, but learn.
What good is a fish without the skill to catch it?

I am on a project helping to analyze the load a VB.Net WinForms application can take. This app has been in production for several years and has many many products on it. We plan to add more products but see the client footprint rapidly increasing. This is contributing the degradation of performance on the system overall.There is duscussion that moving the UI intensive portions of the app to ASP.Net it will reduce the client footprint and solve many of our issues.My question which of the following will scale better in terms of performance and load? ASP.Net(VB) Web based architecture VB.NEt WinForms 3-tier architecture

Over the past months I have been working on small windows forms applications and learning vb as i go along. The aim was to pull these altogether into one big application.
I am now at the stage of pulling these together I have created a new project (called MainMenu) and designed all the buttons and interface. I have added my other projects (SISApp, CURApp) to this project. File > Add > Existing Project. I can see these projects in the solution explorer.
Now my problem. How can show Form2 in the SISApp project when I click ButtonX in the MainMenu project.
I dont just want to show Form2, i want all the functionality and the database connection in form2 to also work etc.

I can have all the projects existing in the same solution, and it builds fine. I can have a reference added to the project that I want to show a form from and still builds fine, every time I do something like this: Dim form_to_show as new Project2.Form1 form_to_show.show() It appears to corrupt the RESX file and stops compiling...it's really getting anoying..

If you see, this sub fill combobox in form frmAnagrafica; I would fill combobox in form frmSelection.Is there a simple way to identify form that call subroutine?

I have a form with full of objects & fix in 1020 & 800 screen solution, but if I set screen solution to 800 x 640 (to see more clear other applications) then my form show mising the right & bottom parts

Im loading a form to retrieve customer information from one form, then, when I collect the data, im trying to pass an ID back to the form that originally made the call. So, what I did is I made it so that the second form calls a sub on the first form, but for some reason it wont work. I put breakpoints in to check the variables, and they are getting data, but I can set the textbox on the first form with the data that is in the sub. Heres the code that loads the second form
Private Sub btnCustSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCustSearch.Click

I cannot grasp this issue. In the below code. I am trying to start a separate thread to display a progress bar while a function is executed in the main thread. The function can take a while, and during that time the program appears to just lock up. So, the progress bar does not really need to show the progress it just needs to cycle till the main thread function is done executing so that people know that the program is still running.

It's me again, trying to have multiple projects in the same solution. How can I do that?
I know that the project name should accompany whatever functions I'll be calling but somewhere it does not work.
One more thing, can I include forms in all the projects I create?

I've developed a stand-alone RTF project/solution and a stand-alone calendar project/solution. I'm trying to incorporate them into a master project/ solution.If I just add the RTF & Calendar projects to the master solution, I cannot access them from the Main form of the master project. It just doesn't see them. Just adding the forms doesn't work because it doesn't contain all of the necessary information embedded in the project (references, etc.)

I'm trying to add a bargraph to one of my forms which will show a trend in dollars spent for certain projects (vs. the forecasted amounts). I wanted to know if there is a control or a function in VB.NET 2008 that I can use to build this graph in.... My only other thought is to use pictureboxes as bars (with background filled colors) and adjust their heights based on a ration or height to dollar amt... I don't mind doing this, but I wanted to know if there is a more intelligent way of building this... maybe some graph wizzard like in excel.

I am coming to the end of coding this system in Visual Studios 2008 which I took over from a guy who has worked on it for a year.He is not here anymore.He made 9 projects and put them into one solution(screen shot below).I have only published a .NET website for VB and have never published something like this.P3Data is the only one that the publishing tab comes up with. All the other projects the publishing tab does not come up. Why is P3Data bold? How can I publish the whole solution 'P3Data' as one whole entity?

Currently, I have a solution that contains two projects (ASP.net websites, FWIW). If I create a class in Project1, how do I expose it to Project2? Is it automatically available to Project2 because they are in the same solution? Or do I need to do something special to make the connection?

I thought I'd give VB a go after developing with C# for the past few months. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and have imported the VB IDE settings. I'm going through the same steps in VB as I've gone through in C# to create my solution for an n-tiered ASP.NET web application, but the results are unexpected. Here's the steps:
1. File > New Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution .... name the solution & choose the location ...
2. At this point, I want to proceed to add projects as follows by right-click on the solution in solution explorer
a. Add > Visual Basic > Web > ASP.NET Web Application ... name / location of the Web Client
b. Add > Visual Basic > Windows > Class Library.. name / location of the Business Layer
c. Add > VB > Windows > Class Library ... name / location of the Data Access Layer
BUT, as soon as I complete step 2a, the solution disappears from solution explorer. "Show all files" is selected. This happens regardless of the project I create first.

All too often, when I am looking for sample .NET code to do something and actually find it, it is written in C#. I am by no means proficient with C#... I can read and follow the logic of C# or modify the code, though I have difficulty following along since everything ends in "}".So what do I do? I create a solution with 2 projects. I put the C# code in one project and VB code in the other project. The VB project references the C# project and I modify the C# as necessary so I can call the useful code from the VB project.The current C# code I'm working with is a rather large project. Specifically what it does is handle input from HIDs (specifically I want to use it for input from a media remote).What I wanted to do was leave the C# code pretty much alone and just call a VB subroutine when any HID input is received (many of the remote buttons can't be distinguished from keyboard keystrokes) and process them in VB. Problem is that the VB code also needs access to pieces of the C# code (circular reference). Ideally what I'd want to do is create a VB module within the C# project (since VB.NET and C#.NET are functionally equivalent -- mostly -- though syntactically different). I've used compilers in the past with similar functionality, though I don't know if VS.NET 2008 has this capability. If I just add a module to the C# project, it expects it to be written in C#.If I can't do that, I see 3 options:
1) Write my application in C#
2) Write a new class in C# that exposes the functionality I need, instantiate it in VB
3) Convert all the C# code to VB
These options are beyond my current skillset (except maybe 3), though now is just as good a time as any to learn C#. But this may require more time than I'm willing to invest. I just wanted to create a task launcher / application switcher to be able to switch between music, video, and other players. I, in fact, already have most of the VB code I need from another project, including a DirectX "cover flow" style interface. I just want to add remote control support to it.

Am I able to share/access xsd in different projects in a solution? If so, how do I do it. If not, what are the other options.
What I intend to do is have the xsd in the DAL project and have the business logic checkings/validations in BLL project.
