I once was able to insert a Class-Header type XML comment section which structured the describing of a class; I now cannot remember how I did it. I think I either used a snippet or some macro-type character combination that inserted some XML documentation fields which made commenting a class well structured. It may have even been an extension.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to add structure (line breaks, paragraphs and code) to the Remarks Tag of XML documentation in VB2005. I have tried many examples from "Recommended XML Tags for Documentation Comments (Visual Basic)" [URL], but all of the examples seem to compile to one continuous line when viewed in the VS2005 Object browser.
Below is an Example:

How is it possible to add a function description in VB.NET (VS 2005)? in C# this task is resumed to tape 3 times the "/" simbol just above the function declaration. (generates the <summary> tag and others)
View 14 RepliesI don't find the properties and events for this class, and i don't know where in msdn library, is possible to find the documentation.
View 2 RepliesI know its unlikely but I was wondering if there is any way to get the comments (i.e. the bits after the ''') of a class or property..? I have managed to get a list of properties of a class using the PropertyInfo class but I cant find a way to get the comments / description.. I need it for a guide I am writing for the administrators of my site - it would be great if it could automatically update if new properties are added, so there is no need to worry about updating it in the future too much.

View 1 RepliesI am able to query/read the event log using VB.NET 2005 (Win XP). But still I have a problem reading the "Message" / "description" of the event log.I am getting a System.NullReferenceException while reading the "Message" / "Description" of the event log.Also when I use System.Diagnostics.EventLog and read all the Event on by one I am able to read the message/description of the event. This is the code:
Public Sub ReadEvent()
Dim iCount As Int16
Dim PastFourHours As Date = Date.Now.AddHours(-4)[code]......
I have to create a program where you enter the description, price, and quantity of an item, then click on the Add button. It will then put the description, price, quantity, and total for that line (including tax) in a listbox. The tax is determined by what you put in a text box labeled tax:. When you press Submit Order, it should show a grand total in a text box called Grand Total. It should have a class that is called Items that has a function called GetTotalAmount() that figures out the total including tax. I have started it, but am having a tough time with how to get the subtotals into the text box, then also show the amount including the tax PLUS then do the grand total.
Heres what I have so far:

what is the best solution to save data in structured storage?
i need this for a wpf application
I have a pesky (i.e. A.R.) code reviewer where I work that says that Exit Sub is equivalent to the Go To statment in COBOL and is not structured code. I see nothing wrong with the Exit Sub statment as it eliminates messy If statements.
View 3 RepliesA convenient way to store structured data is to use classes.While classses offer a very good flexibility they have a big drawback that they increases the quantity of disk space
View 4 RepliesI need some input on what I'm doing wrong. What I have so far is an order form program where customers input their information and what they want to buy. Now, what I'm trying to do is take the customer information, store it in an array, write the customer information to a file, and then when I open the order form, it loads the customer information file and automatically fill in a display box on another form with all the customers and the information.I want each customer in a file to be stored on one line. Like so: (Name, address, city, state, zip)
Mike-123 E Dream Rd-Denver-CO-99558
Jane-234 E Code Rd-Seattle-WA-99458
Then when the file is read, to read it, and add each name to a structured array (customers(NumberOfCustomers).Name, customers(NumberOfCustomers).Address, customers(NumberOfCustomers).City, customers(NumberOfCustomers).State, customers(NumberOfCustomers).zip).
After it has all been added to the array, all customers in the file, I want to loop through the array and display each customer on a new line in a listbox, which opens in another form.So far, everything works IF I don't write to a fail. If I store the customers in an array and use a loop to display the customers in the listbox, all is well. However, when writing to a file and trying to read it back into the array is where I've hit a problem. The following code seems to work well, however, it just reads the first line over and over as many times as there are lines in the file, and displays all those using the loop. I just need a way to loop through the lines and store each line into each structured array for each customer, instead of read the first line 12 times over into 12 different places in the array.

I can create a Custom UserControl with simple properties (Integer, String, etc) and have those properties show up in the Property Panel. I can also create a Custom UserControl with properties like Size, Rectangle, etc and the properties will show up as an expandable item in the Property Panel (click on the '+' and the Size expands to Width & Height).
Is it possible to create properties with my own custom structure? e.g. Property 'Message' expands to Text, ForeColor, BackColor, Blink etc. I have tried creating a property that references a simple class or structure with containing the properties representing my custom structure but in the Property Panel the property is greyed out and cannot be expanded or modified.

I have a DataGridView in a Winforms application containing a collection of items. Each item has an image and various other details. I know it is possible in WPF, but can you get a tooltip to display an image and a more structured set of details then just plain text?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently learning VB.net and can confidently connect to databases and return results to comboboxes run stored procedures ect to datagrids, However I'm wanting to find an online tutorial for doing loops with data so for example
I return the following data into a dataset
Orderno Orderitem Price GUID
111 Pies 1.50 xxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxx
111 orangutang 2.00 xxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxx
ect
I want to display each element on a page in a structured format so as to make a visual representation in seperate entities (labels maybe) of the data like so:
Order number
line 1 (includes item and price in plain text on a page i guess using a label)
line 2 (same goes)
Subtotal( )
The results and formulae i can do but it's simply how to split off the data from my dataset and display elements as seperates (also how will i dynamically create the lables as obviously i'm not going to know in advance how many order item rows will return )
Obviously this is not urgent but if anyone could point me at a tutorial or even better a few lines of code that will do this for the microsoft northwind data so i can mess about with it and play.
I'm currently working on my (business) master's thesis... the topic is capital budgeting tools to manage major investments for a European energy supplier.So far the company has used MS Excel for calculating relevant data to make decisions on whether to invest money in new projects or abandon them. There usually is a host of input data, lots of basic calculations and just two or three outputs (such as Net Present Value, Return on Investment etc) .It is my task to develop a new excel template or decide on buying a completely new software license, if excel proves unable to provide the functionality the company needs.
So far I have only very limited programming knowledge, stretching to Java basics, some HTML code and SQL Databases.However, a colleague hinted at the fact that the VB.net programming language can be easily learned and used to improve excel considerably. Ideally I would need excel to be able to:
- make sure people putting data into our template don't mess with it
- be able to communicate with a database
- have an appealing, structured and neat appearance for ease of usage by people with limited IT abilities
- provide all output, including sensitivity analysis charts, in a structured, printable overview

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?
The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

(1) I want to find out exactly what Binding.FormattingEnabled does.
(2) I type MSDN Binding.FormattingEnabled into google and go to the page.
(3) I read the 3, 'helpful', line description.
(4) I check out the bottom of the page for references.
(5) Never mind, non of those helped....
(6) I search google and find nobody seems to know what the property does in its entirety.
(7) I open up reflector and spend hours in a tangled web before being 70% sure I know what's going on.
(8) I carry on coding, but the 30% is niggling at me.
(9) Repeat 6 - 8 ad nauseum ...
There must be a better way!

I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it.
