Intellisense in VB 2005 Express is showing lots of member items when hovering over a variable instead of showing the variable value. For example, when hovering over DataRow("Field"), instead of showing what's in Field, it shows all the members of the Datarow object.
Is there a way to change this, so I can see variable values without using the debug window like so, ?Datarow("Field")
If I override a member (e.g AutoSize in the Button Class), then the intellisense no longer appears in the editor, forcing me to re-decorate the property. Is there an option somewhere that I need to check? ETA: Here's a code sample:
[Code]...
The intellisense explaining the AutoSize property doesn't appear.
is it possible to set a value of an item, for example: a textbox1.text = Empty.String at design time?
View 5 RepliesWhen typing in Visual Studio the list of possible values returned by the Intellisense is not limited to the possible values for the type and instead lists all the items.In the example below after I type the '=' to set the default value for a property, intellisense will list hundreds of possible values instead of just the ProductTypes.Item1, ProductTypes.Item2 & ProductTypes.Item3.
View 1 RepliesI'm almost sure that I've seen this somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Or maybe I'm imagining it, which would'nt be strange either.
When creating a sub or function and adding parameters used when calling it.
-Is it possible to list the parameters that I can enter when using it somewhere in my code?
E.g.
Public Sub MessageMain(ByVal Message As String, ByVal MessageType As String (List of possible values for MessageType)) Same for example as when you have boolean values in a sub/function. As soon as you use that somewhere in your code intellisense will present you with True/False to select.
I'd like the same for parameters in subs or functions I create and calling them from somewhere in my code. Saves me the trouble of remembering which options are available for those parameters.
In Visual Studio 2005, I can't seem to get the Intellisense menu to pop up at all when I click CTRL+Space. This seems to be limited to VB.NET files. I have tried creating new Visual C# and C# web projects, and it works fine there. There also doesn't seem to be a problem in things like CSS files in VB.NET projects. But when I create a new VB.NET web site, CTRL+Space does nothing. I have tried resetting all the Import and Export setting. That didn't work either.

I have just received an interesting feedback from a VB.NET customer using our product - for some reason intellisense hidden a certain enumeration value.After a small testing I have found that this is likely a bug in IntelliSense: [URL]..To be honest, I did not expect this problem with such a basic stuff like this. Have you seen this in the past? For me, it doesn't work in all VS versions...
Anyway, feel free to track this issue if you are coding in VB.NET.
I have attempted to uninstall VB 2005 express and C++ express using Remove Add programs to no avail. Error message: The Window Installer Package c:program files visual studio 8 vs_setup.msi could not be opened. I have removed the MSDN library and SQL server successfully. I have also tried vs_uninst_betas tool which doesn't find anything to uninstall. I would prefer not to modify the registry if at all possible. If I could find a source for the original install packages for VB and C++ I would attempt reinstalling and then uninstalling....but cannot find them anywhere.

View 2 RepliesI have simple columns and their respective sums. However, I exclude 1 particular value from each sum, like so [code]...
Now I need to exclude another value ("Awaiting Progression") from a second column called "PROGRESSION".
Since I already exclude value based on 1 column called CATEGORY, how do I change my =Sum(Code.ExcludeOthers(Fields!CATEGORY.Value,Fields!ACTION_PLAN_NEW.Value)) to exclude a value from the PROGRESSION column if it's = ("Awaiting Progression") ?
i.e. How do I exclude multiple values, depending on values in 2 columns in SSRS 2005?

View 5 RepliesAlthough I have been programming for many years, successfully, in many different languages, translating my large Word VBA application into VB 2008 Express is driving me crazy. While I understand the theory of OOP and have even been on object-oriented courses, it seems I can't declare my objects correctly and use them in my code. As far as I know, I'm not trying to do more than the "language" is capable of doing, but here goes.
I want to start with "aList" which would be a Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, String) object. Then I want a "bList" which is also a a Collections.Generic.Dictionary object. I would like each bList item to have a few individual simple properties (like a Byte and a String) then an aList instance as well. The application then gets a bList key value from the user, "copies" the corresponding bList item values into a work area, and does the necessary processing using the various bList(aList) / aList(bList) item values from the work area. I say "copies" because I assume that part is simply going to be a pointer copy rather than a long copy of lots of strings. Note that I really don't want to start using arrays here, as the application makes alot of use of Word VBA Dictionaries and I'd like to keep it that way if I can. Incidentally, so far, I have all my global data declarations in a separate Class, not on any of the application's forms.
I'm following this example code: url... but doing it in c#.I don't know how to express the following in c#:[code]Specifically, I do know to prefix hex values with '0x' but what is are the S's all about on the end of some of these values? Also on the third line when I convert it to 0x80000000 I get an error saying it can't convert from uint to int implicitly. Not sure if I should just cast, or change the type of the variable?
View 2 RepliesI am converting a VB6 program to VB express and am having a couple of problems. One of them is a problem with the variable "strEncTemp". I have the warning "Variable strEncTemp is used before it has been assigned a value", and I can't assign a value to this variable without creating issues. It also seems that a null value is being returned and the code produced by this routine is corrupt. This seems to be the last issue I have in converting the code. I tried setting it to 0 but it then shuts down the program with an error. This is the portion of code that has the warning and produces a null value. [Code]
View 4 RepliesIn a VS2008 VB project, I have a combobox that gets its values from a SQL Express table. This table has three columns. I want to display the value from one column in the combobox, and obviously the user will select from this. I want to then write the value of the selected record from a second column back to a different table, and I also want to change the value of a radio button (on the same form as the combobox) based on the value of the third column of the selected record.I'm setting the ComboBox.Text value to be the first column, the ComboBox.SelectedValue to be the second column, but how would I change the radio buttons in the most efficient way? If it was VB6, I'd probably make another trip to the database to find the value of the third column based on the selected value from the combobox. I'm not familiar enough with the tableadapter concept but I suspect I should use them to do what I need.
View 15 RepliesI have a simple windows form application (I'm working in Visual Basic Express 2008).
There are some forms that have simple text boxes. When somebody wants to edit something in this boxes he pushes edit button and then they are enabled. I insert some text and when I save this text is saved for good.
When I reopen the application this text is there like I want it to be. Just for information, this text is always the same in one text box, until I change it (me or some other user) - so I think there is no need for databases. For my needs this is ok because I don't need to change this data often. This is code in Form load event (for calling back the data)
