I'm having a problem importing a user control into a new project.I've created and tested a user control using the guide at url...If I choose Debug>Build, a .dll file is created in the release folder.According to what I've read, I should be able to open the toolbox in my new project, right click>choose items, browse to the dll and then import. This all works, but the control is 'greyed out' in the toolbox, so I can't drag and drop it onto the userform in my new project.I also tried importing by 'Add Reference' in the solution explorer and got an error about using a later version of the .NET framework, so I've set both the user control and new project to compile with the .NET 3.5 framework.
I have created a C# user control which I want to use in VB.NET .. the control works fine, but in VB.NET the Intellisense does not show any of the C# user control function descriptions (in summary xml doc tag). If I use the same control in a C# project the Intellisense show each function's description as intended..
Yesterday I added a new user control to a project I was working on: right click on the project name "Estimator", then add, then new item, then on the add new item dialog I typed the name of the user control, and I created my ButtonWithCheck.vb control.
My user control appeared on the toolbox, I inserted it in a form, used it, kept working on my project, and everything was fine. I saved and closed the solution.
Today I open the solution and I got an error: "Could not find type 'Estimator.ButtonWithCheck'. Please make sure..."
am build my first windows user control project. It consist of the User Control window and a textbox. The idea is that it will only accept numbers as user input.I have added the controls and code in the textboxes keypress event.Built and added the control to the VS toolbox. Started a new app and added the control to the designer.
I have a "windows form" user control--that is, not on a web page etc. This user control has a form within the user control project. However, code from within the user control can't 'see' the form even though it is a public class---I don't understand why this is the case.
So how can I access the controls (a couple of radio buttons) on the form from code within the user control? I tried creating public properties on the form to return the state of the radiobuttons, but this still doesn't work. I get a "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." error
Should I not be able to see the form since it is a public class?
I'm coming over from VB6 in which you could use 'user controls' to create reusuable custom controls. They were simple and contained and you can easily create several instances of a user control within the same or other apps. In vb2008 there are user controls but I can not figure out how to add them to forms or or other apps. Can someone please give me the the basic steps to add a custom user control to a form or project.
I have some form/vb in another project that I want to import to a new one. There are three files with these extensions - .vb, resx, and designer.vb. Which do I copy and how exactly?
I have MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have create database with 6 tables. I want to import database in my project. When I open server explorer in VS i go to Data Connections (right click) then add new connection. Then I locate database .mdf file. After that I can see database in server explorer but only with one table (there must be six). I have try to remove/add database but tables are still missing.
i want to create a user control using WIA but i m get a error message at run time Error Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'Interop.WIALib' does not have a strong name. i m working of windows server 2003.
What i want to do is when button1 is clicked it disables tmr1 on the main form, and then opens up an instance of a new form, when that instance form is closed, the tmr1 on the main form is enabled again....how do i enable the timer control when the instance is closed?
i hav a problem in building a solution in vs 2008.I'm opening vb.net project in VSS repository.When i tried to build the application its giving lot of compile error.After examining the code i've found that the namespaces are not imported in *.vb file , hence the types used in the file are not accessible .I know that we can import namespaces at application level
I'm developing a solution that I'm going to split into two different directions.I've built custom controls for the first application, and now I'm creating a new solution where I'm importing all the Forms and Modules to the new solution I'm developing by using "Add Existing Item" from the Solution ExplorerWhen doing this, most of the errors I'm receiving I'm able to correct by "Find & Replace" with the new name of the new solution. (They seem to be references to the old name of the solution, that I simply replace with the new name. Example. Global.Xname..... I now replace with Global.Yname.
I have a VB.NET Console Application that depends on a C++ project in the same solution. I'm importing the C++ dll for use in the VB project. When I compile and then run the application, I get the runtime error R6034. Anything wrong going here?
Is there a routine that will allow me to import data from an excel spreadsheet into a database within my project? I only need to do this to populate the the database I have created in my project.
While the project was being developed I used junk test data for testing and debugging but now I wan to populate the database with the actual records.
Here is the skinny:
In the project database I have the following fields: ItemID - Primary key SamCode
[Code].....
Column B contains the Full Name Data where B1 in a column header Column C contains the UPC Numbers needed where C1 is a column header
As stated this is a one time deal and not something I need to run as part of the application.
I've created a VB Console Application Project and am trying to instantiate a Report Viewer object. To my understanding I need to import Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms however Visual Studio does not recognize this name space. Is there some reference I need to add?
Could someone point me in the direction of importing a project into a project. Any information on how to use it would be great as well. For example I have Project A that I could use to work within Project B. I have no idea what the correct form is for calling this in.I do have an add reference option, but no add project option. Im assuming i shall go with reference and see what I can do.
I have an application going here Form1 has a panel on it named TargetPnl. I need my TargetPnl to display my user control named Vviewer when I click my SearchBtn and also need it to disappear when I click another button.
I created a simple user control and everything went fine.Then I created another of the same control (as a different project) from scratch (creating the controls in a different configuration; but pasting code from the previous one from a text file).As far as I know I did everything the same for creating a user controlCreate a Class Library project Then Project>Add New Item> User Control Then delete the initial class that was added automatically (usually named Class1.vb) Put all of my code and components into the user control class.However, when I wanted to run it in the debugger as I did in the previous project, I now get an error message:"A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly."
how can i call a VB function - deleteevent() in usercontrol.ascx.vb from a javascript function in clickhandler(e) in usercontrol.ascx. The call should cause a postback because I need the usercontrol to display the changes.I am currently trying to do it by using a linkbutton with style display:none, and calling its click event from the javascript function. But i dunno how to call the click event.
I have an aspx page that has two different user controls. I want to find user control A and be able to set properties, etc., from user control B.
I was thinking I could do something like this:
Dim CMFilters As Control = Me.Parent.FindControl("CMFilters")
...but that doesnt work to be able to set properties and call methods. I somehow need to get the user control and and declare it as that user control type.
I now realize that it is incorrect because the container's InitializeComponent property initializations have not run yet and they must be run prior to Refresh being called.
How (where) can I run Refreash after the container has initialized this user control.[cod]e...

I am trying to build a tournament bracket application. In order to build the application efficiently I would like to make a user control "GameControl" that represents a game and give it attributes that represent the names of the competitors "TeamNameA" and "TeamNameB" ,an attribute "Winner" to represent which team should move on, and an attribute "NextRoundGame" that assigns another instance of the user control so that it can assign the "winner" to one of the "TeamName" attributes of the next round in the competition. If the controls were native to VB I feel like I could do it easily (I have only spent about 30 hours self teaching/tutorial following) but I can't seem to find out how to pass values to custom attributes of custom user controls through code.
Can I safely move ReferencePath information from a .vbproj.user (or .csproj.user) file into the corresponding project file? Note: All developers will be using developing from the same location on their machines.We'd like to allow users to maintain their own settings for other things, but have this basic info be setup once and checked into source control to be shared to all.
I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).
