I am trying to make a very narrow form. It doesn't seem to allow me to resize to less than 132 in design mode. I've played with the Min and Max and had no luck. Is there another property I need to change, or is there a minimum width?I've removed the control box and the text, and played with the border type as well.
I'm working with ReportViewer in asp.net, VS 2008.All of my reports are rendering on the screen in a very narrow format. As in only 16 characters across. I've tried adjusting the rdlc layout as well as the reportviewer c
I have a search function on my company's website (based on .NET 2.0) that allows you to narrow the product catalog using up to 9 different fields. Right now, after you make your selections on the frontend I am building a dynamic query and hitting the database (SQL Server) to get the resulting list of items numbers. I would like to move away from hitting the database everytime and do all of this in memory for faster results. Basically a 3500 - 4500 row "table" with 10 columns: the item number (which could be a primary key) and the 9 attribute fields (which have repeating values for many many rows).
There can be any number of different searches between the 9 columns to get the items you want: Column A = 'foo' AND Column D = 'bar' Column B = 'foo' AND Column C = 'bar' AND Column I = 'me' Column H = 'foo' etc...
Based on my research, the .Select() function seems like the slowest way to perform the search, but it stands out to me as being the quickest and easiest way to perform the narrowing searches to get the list of item numbers: MyDataSet.Select("Column B = 'foo' AND Column E = 'bar' AND Column I = 'me'") In my specific case, what method I use as an alternative that has the same narrowing functionality and better performance instead of settling for the datatable.select() method?
Im Using VB 2008. I have MsgBox() statements in all Mouse & Form Click events to TEST & NOTHING FIRES during Form Load when I click on Form or Button Controls !!! The Form Load event contains code for Displaying the Label.Text control many times with changes in the Text to simmulate annimation.
The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.
I have a form being called form several forms using ShowDialog().
1. Is there a way for called form to know which form called it by receiving a code or key from the calling form?
2. The calling form has a gridview. How can the called form pick up a column's value from the currently highlighted row in gridview in the calling form?

[Code]...

I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
I designed a class contains a form that have buttons. When i click any button this function runs
Public Sub BtnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) result = CType(sender, Button).Text

I'm new in .Net and I have an application with windows form "LOGIN" When users enter the user and password and click "ok", then if user passes validation then I have the code Show(MDIMainMenu) (I'm trying to open an mdi form), but I receive the following error: "Form that is already visible cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box. Set the form's visible property to false before calling Show. Error Number 5"
Below is the exception code info. when I try to make form visible for the first time from another form then I get an exception code. something like 'a required variable not set'
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Form2.PictureBox1.Load(bm2)
[CODE]...
So I'm trying to take a screen capture of the windows form and display only a certain specified area of that screen capture in a picturebox on a different form. Kind of like this. First, take the screen capture of the form: Then get a specified area of that form through x,y coordinates or something and display it on a picturebox on a separate form.
I have a DataGridView on a form that is being populated from a SQL table dataset by giving criteria from a previous form. I have 6 columns in the dataset, of which the last column should be combo box column containing items "Done" and "Pending". How do I make this bound column to a combo box column and display the value as well as the alternate item too in the combo box?
How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow() Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders OrderWindow.ShowDialog() End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

I am using VB2008 Express and a MSSQL Server 2005 db by the way! I have a comprehensive SQL statement, which should fill my Grid:
DECLARE @Sum NUMERIC(9,2) SELECT @Sum = SUM(I_LS.lmenge) FROM dbo.lfs AS I_L
[CODE]...
Now here is my problem! I want to have a form with a datagridview that displays all of the values I am querying. This shouldn't be a problem I guess. However, I have no idea how I can integrate two textboxes that can be used to enter the selection criteria (WHERE I_L.lfsnr LIKE '%1253') AND (l.sped_journal = '11-08')[/SIZE]. I have googled and read many threads so far but didn't stumble upon anything that would suit my needs and answer my question. Maybe it's just too elementary!? By the way, it is very important that the input of textbox1 ((WHERE I_L.lfsnr LIKE '%1253')) is linked to 3 positions in my SQL query to define the search criteria!
The worst thing is that I don't want to have a bindingnav displayed! I do not need any delete, update or add functions just the select option, however!
I have read that VB .NET in earlier versions limited the FORM size to that of the development machine screen resolution.I am hoping that there is a way in the current VB 2010 to get around that.However in my attempts to make the form larger, it always resets itself to the screen height on my develoment machine.Is there a way to get around this and have the person be able to use a scroll bar to move down?The data I wish to show actually has two screens worth of information but the stuff in the scroll down section would be used on a limitied basis so scrolling will be useful rather than having to recreat the screen to show less data at one time.
[Code] I want like to check if a file exist on main form, if not: force open settings form. And then when the user is closing the form with exit button = check if the file exist again. If it doesn't exist, close application. It's a huge application and I need optimized on most parts. Also, the settings form is asking the closing question two times.
