Get IntelliSense For Lack Of Better Term To Work Like It Does For C#?
May 18, 2010
Is there a way to get the IntelliSense for a lack of better term to work like it does for C#? For example, lets say I want to add a MessageBox to my form. With C# as soon as I get around Mess it's already coming up with the rest of the word, and the same with variables and control names. Just wondering if I'm missing a setting or something some place or if this is just another example of how things are different between the enviroments. Using Visual Studio 2005.
I need to search a term in pdf file to get font of all occurrences of the term with its corresponding font information and next 5 words of each occurrence.
I am currently working on a framework for applications developed by my company, my boss wants to have a switchboard and a MenuStrip, where the entries and their actions are controlled by a database.
Now I've dealt with all the code to get them working. But the problem that I am facing is that I have duplicated code because each of the classes have the code that deals with ensuring the user has the right privileges and the code to deal with when a user clicks on an item.
Normally I would move this code out into a class and then have each of the classes inherit from the class, but because the switchboard already inherits from the Form class and the customised MenuStrip inherits from the MenuStrip class.After doing some Googling the only answer I have been able to find it using an interface for the functionality, which is obviously not exactly what I want.
Anyway I was just wondering whether any one had any suggestions on what I could do to deal with this problem, as I would like to avoid having duplicate code as much as possible.
Where do you put the "main code" for lack of a better description? I can find all sorts of places to put code based on events like button clicks or forms loading. However, I can't seem to find a place to run code without an event (just idling).Basically I'm looking to monitor a file and call a sub when it changes. I can monitor the file fine based on the size but I can't figure out where to put code to call a sub when that changes. Everything seems based on user actions but that doesn't work in this case.
vb6 used to support both procedure view and full module view. VB.net seems only to support the latter.Why would they do this? Is it perhaps because people generally have bigger screens now (and less need to scroll).I find that I have to scroll down a sub/function very slowly with full module view or else i'll inadvertently end up in a different sub.Is there a plug-in or another way to recreate procedure view?
I have a class, GControl. It's pretty much a Control class clone with some improvements. It doesn't inherit from Control, because that would be a huge mess, and it needs to stay that way. However, to add a GControl to a Form in the first place, it needs to inherit from Control. So, I created a new class, called GForm, that inherits from Control and draws GControls in the OnPaint method. However, it should also inherit GControl, because it needs (1) to be able to be a GControl's Parent and (2) to be able to have a GControlCollection property. The way I've made the GControlCollection is so that it must be created with a GControl as its parent. I could change how GControlCollection works, but not the Parent property. Does anyone know a way to get around that?
Here's what the property looks like:
CODE:
And a few methods (like Invalidate()) need to be called on the control's parent.
Just tried to create a new Data Source in VB 2010, apparently I don't have permission to connect to the 'Login.mdf' file I recently created in SQL 2008. Does anyone here have any knowledge of how to surpass this problem? I'm the Administrator of my PC and have full permissions and UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the problem either
Why is there such tremendous effort made on microsofts part to hide the fact that you cannot write SurroundsWith code snippets for Visual Basic, and the $end$ and $selected$ reserved words dont work in Visual Basic.
Micro$osft... YOUVE HAD 3 VERSIONS OF VISUAL STUDIO TO GET THIS WORKING... WHY THE H3LL IS IT STILL A STEAMING PILE FOR VISUAL BASIC. I HAVE TO BUY A THIRD PARTY PRODUCT TO ENABLE FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU REFUSE TO WRITE FOR VISUAL BASIC.
Can you tell this is infuriating? I spent a TON of hours finding out about this sorely lacking functionality that you should have plastered ALL OVER your snippets documentation on MSDN. I hear you're a HORRIBLE company to work for, but should I ever need a job and have to dig at the bottom of the barrel, I think you OWE me a g.d. job now.
I'm trying to make a label transparent. When I set the BackColor to transparent, all it does it take the color of the form it's sitting on, i.e. It's not truly transparent. I've googled it and found this in another thread (from a MSFT MVP)".NET controls do not support true transparency. You can set their BackColor to Transparent (in some but not all cases) and the parent control will show through, but only the parent control. If there is some other control behind that is not the parent it will not show through. That's because the control is not truly transparent. It basically copies its parent in the area behind it and uses that as its background, but that doesn't include sibling controls that may be behind it as well." To me, this is completely unacceptable. Why even include the transparency option when all it does is set the control's backcolor to the form color? I'm trying to add a label over a progress bar to give my user some feedback (because the Visual Studio progress bar doesn't support text, which is also a horrible design shortfall by the way), and have yet to find a way around this.
what is the term used for such as event?'.What I am trying to do with open a application config form in login window which is activated by combonation of keys pressed. for example alt+c or ctrl+alt+x.
Learning VB.net and the framework.Read a few books, but none have actually labeled graphically the anatomy of a code line. [code] Obviousy Dim is the Dimension or referencing the variable.What is the specific term for the date.now() command?Is that a vb property or expression?The operator is Do, As, and loop right?What's the regular term for just a simple line and what is an expression when speaking of this code block?There should be a list of the date.now() properties easily available in a regular list somewhere.
I have a textbox with button wired up to a queryextender. My goal is that someone might enter into the textbox a name (e.g. "Dave Mackey") and receive back all relevant results. The problem is that this information is spread across two columns in the underlying database (e.g. FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME). My code looks like this:
If I enter "Mackey" it returns results, but "Dave Mackey" returns no results, I'm assuming b/c it is looking for the entire value in one first (either, but not both together), whereas I want it to return any rows where it finds the entirety even if it is spread across multiple DataFields.
I'm trying to write up an implementation plan.I'd like to write something like:Due to the high-level of spaghett-code in the existing program..But I'm not finding anything that even remotely looks professional.
I'm trying to create an application that will allow me to type a search term, corresponding to any field contained in a database, and have the results displayed in a datagrid view. The idea is that the application will display any records that have the search term in any of the fields, rather than just allowing the user to search based on one field only.
I keep getting an error on the dataAdapter.Fill(dt) line. I've tried reorganising lines of code just in case my logic was wrong, but the result is the same. The program just crashes when it reaches this line.
My code is:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub AuthorsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AuthorsBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click Me.Validate()
Public Sub theConnection() Try conString = "DSN=XXXXX;UID=XXXX;PWD=XXXXX;DATABASE=XXXXX" con = New OdbcConnection(conString) Catch MessageBox.Show("Connection to the Spec Database was not made")
I am writing this program for class its supposed to be able to accept loan amount interest rate amount and the term of the loan (in years) and then output how much interest you owe and how much in total you owe.
Here is my code: <Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _ Partial Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form 'Declare Variables Dim loanAmount As Double Dim interestRate As Double [Code] .....
I copied the whole code as to I do not know where the rros are. My error keeps saying 'class' statement must end with a matching 'end class' I got a feeling this is something like if/endif but I cannot find it.
Im trying to make the below statement as such if there is no items selected/blank then the search term is a wild card (all results) otherwise search it. the sql below only works when all fields match, not partial
Doesn't it figure. Moments after I post this, I finally get it to work. I'll post what I did just in case anyone else has this issue in the futures. It's a big oversight for me!
I find myself frequently turning off Intellisense because it adds wrong choices to my code. For example if I try to type "i " (without the quotes) it causes "int " to be put into my code. If I type "for " it may put "form " into my text.
Reaching for the ESC key constantly slows down my typing. (It's such a long way to reach for small hands). Is there an alternative way to exit out of intellisense without the highlighted choice being placed into my code, or is a way I can define a different key for this purpose?
is there a way to enable IntelliSense for XML literals in VB9 (VS 2008)?The ideal source of IntelliSense is an XSD document, but I can use anything else format to do it.
I do not get intellisense working when creating a Property. How do I get intellisense to work here? Intellisense seems to work otherwise, just not with the Get / Set instantiations.
I am primarily a C# developer; however, I am currently working on a project for a client who preferred VB.net. I have managed to switch over fairly well, with one frustrating exception. When editing a C# file in Visual Studio pressing enter will select an item out of the IntelliSense window and keep the cursor at the end of the selected statement.
However, when editing a VB file, pressing enter selects the item out the IntelliSense popup AND moves the cursor to the next line. I realize that this is a small thing, but it drives me crazy, because it makes it really hard to switch between C# and VB projects.
I have searched for everything I can think of in Google and found nothing. Does anyone know of a way to change the IntelliSense selection behavior?
In VB.NET projects, errors are highlighted immediately after cursor leaves the line. In C#, I have to wait several seconds for IntelliSense to highlight it. Also, the C# version doesn't show all project errors in "Errors List", unless you start to build it. Actually, it seems to work differently in every way. Is it possible to adjust that behavior?
I am using both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
I'm using coderush with vs 2008. coding in VB.net. I don't see any evidence of Intellassist, all i see is the usual VS intellisense. Is this normal? Preferred? Do most people leave the defaults or do most/some turn off vs's intellisense? Does intellassist somehow argument intellisence?
