Load Combobox Items Dynamically On KeyPress?
Oct 4, 2010
I want to create a combobox like winform control in VB.Net that makes suggestions dynamically; exactly as the address bar does in Google Chrome or IE 8/9. Basically on each keypress, get a list of items that match the entered text on a background thread(s) and show these items in the dropdown list as they are (possibly slowly) returned - either from DB queries, web services etc.
I have tried a couple of ideas, changing the AutoComplete list dynamically or binding to a list, which I then update. But I am getting some rather odd and incorrect results even when updating the list directly (on the main thread). I also tried implementing my own textbox control that shows a ListBox control where the dropdown would appear - this seemed a lot more reliable but I cannot get it to draw over the edge of forms etc when shown, as the combobox drop-down does.

I am using VB.NET together with ADO.NET to create a program. I have set my TableAdapters as needed and bound the correct tables-columns to my comboboxes.My problem though is this:My combobox2 item is bound to a datatable. The table adapter's Fill method (the select command basicaly) includes a public variable in the where clause to fetch the correct results. I ll put some code here to clarify it a bit more.Public Class Frm_inv

I'm making a combobox on a form. I want the combobox to have a list of choices from a table in a db. The two columns are a String and a Date. I want the date column to only show the year. I'm hoping I have the code right as it is above, but I'm not positive I've done the whole date thing right.

I am trying to write some code that will allow me to dynamically load DLLs into my application, depending on an application setting. The idea is that the database to be accessed is set in the application settings and then this loads the appropriate DLL and assigns it to an instance of an interface for my application to access.
This is my code at the moment:
Dim SQLDataSource As ICRDataLayer
Dim ass As Assembly = Assembly. _
LoadFrom("M:MyProgsWebServiceDynamicAssemblyLoadingSQLServerinDebugSQLServer.dll")

I have a GUI that is processing data from our shop floor.In order to communicate with external programs, we are using MSMQ to process messages. Each interface we have to an external program, we are currently creating a class file with only properties,calling the class in the GUI, setting the properties, then sending the class object to MSMQ for processing.The class is serialized as an XML file, and the queue watcher can pick up the class, deserialize it process the messages without any problem.Currently we have identified three interfaces, developed the classes for them and this is working great.As more interfaces are identified moving forward, I would like to avoid having to add the classes to the GUI front end for each interface.I would like to create a DLL for each interface (again only with properties) that could be dynamically loaded and discover the properties for the class.The GUI could then set the properties for the class and process the message.One property each class will have is the name of the interface.This will be a readonly property that will the queue watcher know which interface to use. In order to make this dynamic, I could create some tables in our database that would contain the name of the interface and cross reference the properties in the DLL with parameters in the GUI. This way the GUI would only call one DLL that would be embedded in the GUI, it would call the database to get the parameters needed for the interface, match them from the GUI and create the message.
1.What is the best way to dynamically load DLL's using VB 2008?
2.Does this sound like a good proposal?
3.My intent is to have the GUI re-compiled as little as possible to minimize the impact on the shop floor when new interfaces are created.

I have a form in my vb.net application used to take the data about the returned stock. The form contains two comboboxes. One, named combobox5, contains invoice numbers and the other, named combobox3, contains party codes. Both the comboboxes are pre_loaded using sqldataadapter.
Now what i want is to change the party code in combobox3 when the invoice number is changed in combobox5. Elaborating it further, When Stock is issued the party code is stored along with the invoice number to keep track of to which party was the stock issued. Now when stock is returned i want to keep track that which party has returned the stock and i want that the party code should be automatically selected when the invoice number is changed and it should be what is stored in the database against that particular invoice number....
I'm using the following code for doing so:
Private Sub ComboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox5.SelectedIndexChanged
' defines a new connection to the database
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=TAHA;Initial Catalog=ADT;Integrated Security=True")

i m trying to load the tabs dynamically.(Using AjaxToolKit). Firstly, when i hit button1 on pageload, it loads tab1() (works good) and when i hit button2, itloads up tab2() All these tabs are ascx pages. In tab1 i m loading WebUserControl.ascx. it works okay.
Issues:
1) When you runthe code, first click on button2, it doesn't load tab2 dynamicaly but it does when u hit button1 for the first time.
2) Repetitive clicking on button1 or button2 should load the same tabs next to eachother again and again but it doesn't
3) Thirdly, the main issue is that I m tryin to load another .ascx on loadtab2() which should have webparts in it. I should be able to load an another custom usercontrol into these web parts dynamically. But i m not able to do so.
Here is my code:
Default.aspx

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolder1" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>

This is in a button click event, and when I click the button, the DllMax.DllMax form should be shown.[Problem]The DllMax.DllMax form is shown well, and after I close it, I found the CPU is from 0% to 20%.Don't quit the application, add Click button1 again, and close the form, the is from 20% to 40%.The CPU persentage is NOT added when the form is opened(I checked it carefully), but added just when the form is closed, and it will keep to 40%.I don't know what the CPU is doing? I want to know:1. Is there a method to find out what exactlly CPU is doing in my application?2. Why the CPU from 0% to 40% when I close the form?3. Why the CPU keep to 40% even I did the FormToShow.Dispose()?

there are two forms, form1 and form2. form1 has textboxes 10, the user can enter data in a specific number of textboxes: ie: 5 or 3, or etc.
then the user clicks a button, and based on the number of textboxes that he entered data on, form2 will load a number of texboxes: If the user filled 3 textboxes in form1, form2 will show 3 textboxes.

I'm having one basic aspx script that needs to load some "plugins". Every plugin has its own settings and it should perform different logics. What i'd do in php is create a class for each plugin, load that class, pass the settings file to it and call some method on that class that would give me some output. But is it even possible in vb.net? I'd need to have multiple files with multiple classes, load those files, depending on the plugin name and call some method on them to parse that plugin's settings.

I was wondering if there is any way to load data from excel sheet into a datagridview in VB2008 dynamically. I have looked at few data connection codes but all of them involve the excel sheet and thw workbook name. Is there anyway that I enter the excel sheet name in a inputbox and the data from excel loads into datagridview without hardcoding the sheet name. I know data can be imported using the below code, here the programmer has to mention the excel workbook name, path and sheet name. [code]I am developing a program to perform some calculations and my data is in a number of excel workbooks and worksheets. I need to be able to bring the data from these excel sheets into the datagridview to perform calculations. So I was thinking if I could mention the excel sheet name in the GUI and then accordingly the data from that particular sheet would be loaded into the datagridview to perform calculations.

I have to create an application that will dynamically add a menu strip with menu items to a form(ie NOT dragged and dropped onto the form) in Visual Basic. The menu strip should be created in the Form_Load event handler. I have to use a TextBox for user input. If the user enters information into the TextBox and clicks on the Add Button, the text should be added to a ComboBox control.A Menu should then be created that must be added to the menu strip dynamically.
