MDI Single Form Or Multiple Forms
Mar 7, 2010
I've written an application with about 30 forms and am almost ready to publish, my biggest concern though is that i'm not sure if its a normal thing to do having all these forms and hiding, disposing and showing forms throughout the use of the application.I've toyed with the idea of converting to a MDI Child / Parent interface as well as having one form with lots of subcontainers that are hidden and then hiding / showing them as the navigational buttons are shown.Ive worked on this application for about 8 months now, but would be happy to rewrite the interface and appearance of it if i know that it is not generally an acceptable practice having forms flashing open and closed while navigating through the application.

My program has two forms which get data from the same data source. After binding controls to tables and fields on both forms, I noticed each form has it's own apparently duplicate DataSet. Is it standard practice for each form to have its own DataSet even though they use the same ConnectionString and connect to the same database at the same time?

I have a form which displays temperature and humidity data for a device in the field. I have multiple devices. Rather than creating a separate form for each device, obviously it is much better to have a single form that I instantiate, pass data to, and display. The devices are listed in a treeview, and when the user double-clicks the node, I create an instance of the form, pass the device's data to the instance of the form, and display the form. All of this works perfectly. However, I have a challenge: If the form for a particular device is already open, I don't want another one opened when the user double-clicks the node.
However, whenever I place logic in the program to check for the existence of the form and only allow another instance to be created if one doesn't already exist, it prevents me from creating a form instance for any other device that I may wish to view, simultaneously. So, I have a dilemma -- allow the user to display the data for multiple devices, including allowing multiple forms to be open for a single device, OR only allowing one device to be displayed at any given time.

I've got two sets of lists with nearly 800 items that I need in 32 different drop down comboboxes (before you ask, that is required and it can't be simplified). Understandably, populating each of them slows down the creation of the form. This happens to be a child form that these drop downs are on and there could be more than one child form displayed. I've assembled the lists in List(Of String) objects and set each of the datasources of the comboboxes appropriately, but it still takes several seconds for them to populate and display for the first time. This is also problematic if the datasource gets updated (items removed, added, renamed) because I have to wipe out all the items and create the list again in all active instances.

I have set all of my textboxes databindings and double checked them. I get no error, but it does not update the second table. What am I doing wrong?

I have to prepare about 125 or 150 Loading Slips for various Mines to move carting to our various Factory daily into Windows Form of ERP System.
Just like here: Date:18-12-2011, Requirement No.001/11-12, Mines No.OP-128, In Charge Name: Karsanji Plot=0,Satta=0,Dump=6, Transporter:Ghanshyam Roadlines Destination:Madhapar Here Some Button to generate/modify records: Add,Edit,Save,Delete,Previous,Next,etc If I distribute 15 trucks for Ghanshyam Roadlines to move carting from OP-128 to Madhapar then I will have to entry 15 times into Windows Form of ERP System for creation loading slips numbers from 1 to 15. Here all my data to input 15 times into ERP is same, so why is it not possible to create multiple reports with single entry form?

Say I have a code with 3 methods that do some pretty intensive work. Would executing these methods on 3 seperate threads be faster then executing them one after the other on a single core cpu? And what if it's a dual core or HT?

I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?

I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.

Several years ago, I created a nifty data entry form that is called from a main menu. Due to recent user requirements, I had to create another form that is very similar to the data entry form. To prevent duplicate coding and testing, I created a class to inherit the existing data entry form. The issue is when I leave the class and return to a sub menu, the class is opening the main menu and the sub menu. How do I only return to the sub menu without the main menu appearing? Here is a snippet of my code. You'll have to scroll down to the very bottom to see the section that is causing issues. BTW, I coded the application in such a way that only one form should be open at a time.
frmMenu (main menu). This is nothing more than a bunch of buttons that allows the user to perform various functions.If user clicks button #1, open the data entry form:
Dim objFrm As New frmDataEntry
bolOkToCloseForm = True
Me.Close() '--- close the menu screen

I have a few problems i need to solve. Firstly, I am looking for a piece of code i can use to display a picture from a bank of pictures. It will work on the basis of generating a random number and loading a picture that corresponds to that number.
i.e. Dim RandNumber As Integer
Dim RandClass As New Random
RandNumber = RandClass.next(1, 10)
If RandNumber = 1 Then
Picturebox1.image = picture1
[Code]...
Secondly, can I then use subsequent picture boxes to display pictures from the same bank of images, without displaying the same image? Finally, I then need to be able to click the picture or a button beneath the picture to select it as an answer to a question and then the whole process starts again.

Is it possible to have a single class reside within two name-spaces and how can I do this?
To clarify: We have a class library (let say root namespace is classLib1), which has grown over time (more classes) and I want to logically group classes into different namespaces. However some of the older classes need to be grouped into these new namespaces (e.g classLib1.section1) and doing so will break legacy code in other assemblys that use this class library. So I want to be able to refer to a class using both name-spaces until we can phase the old ones out.
I can't find any information on this, which suggests there is a reason that people would not want to do this!?!

I originally developed a simple application software [VB.Net + MS Access] (Lets call this project A) but now I want to include more functionality in it. I have an encryption/ decryption software utility (Lets call this project B ) and a Text to speech generation utility(Lets call this project C) . That is, I want to add Projects B and C to project A. [Such that clicking on the main form of project A calls a form from project B or C as desired].In solution explorer, I right clicked--Add Existing Project--and added both the above mentioned projects 1 by 1. (Added B and C to the solution explorer with the already present A).As the application software's (Project A's) main form is the main form of my project, I want to have a menu option on the main form (Of Project A) so that a user could click on one of the menu options and the main form of my other projects ( Project B or Project C or Encrypt/Decrypt or Voice Generation) should open by him doing so. To this effect, I tried the following:
1. I dragged the form simply from one of the projects (From B or C ) into the folder of my Application Software (Project A).This generated a lot of Build errors and the Voice Generation utility (Prj. C) would not work like this.
2. Tried to reference a dll, however the authors of Projects B and C did not include a dll in their projects.
3. Now I came to know that to call a form residing in another project folder or even another folder within the same project, you have to give a path for the form. HOW DO WE DO THIS?
As you can understand, I cannot copy the entire code of the 3 projects here....I will try attaching my project here though..Here it is: http: rapidshare.co...MY_Prj.zip.html[Dear Administrator: The downloading option on the webpage does not allow files bigger than I mb, thts why I used an external link]As I said, in the application, Project A is TMS.NET ; Project B is EncryptFile and Project is C.I encountered a problem while adding project C [spoken word], so the project contains only projects B and A. I will try to attach project C seperately.That is, TMS contains proj A+B and Speech contains C.

I am trying to understand transformation matrices (not just their implementation in VB, but in general) and I've put about 3 full days into this so far. I believe I have the data in my matrices correct. Applying any single matrix to an array of points does a correct transformation.I am wondering if I understand how to combine multiple matrices into a single one.I understand you just have to multiply them together.I took this to mean you just have to multiply each element with its corresponding element in the second to make a third matrix?[code]

basically im looking to have two textboxs with 3 buttons
TextBox1.text contains the path to the new file and
TextBox2.text contains the path folder to subdirectories
i have everything i need working, haha i know not much, this is only my second day with vb.I just needed a button now to carry out the function of copying the file i tried using simple file copy but i had to specify a file output in that and it only gave me option to copy it to one directory.For instance
C:index.php TextBox1.text <- loaded in from button 1
C:www* TextBox2.text <- button 2 loading subdirs
now i need a button 3 that would carry out the function of copying textbox1.text to all subdirs in textbox2.text.i thought i would have been able to use simple copy as stated above with wildcard in my program but no joy

Is it better to add just one datasource to your project that holds all your database tables and queries that you use as typed datasets. Or, create a datasource for each individual form or situation where your using the database tables as typed datasets. It seems simplier to have just one datasource but is there a down side. We're talking about @25 database tables/queries.

I've developed a couple of different stand-alone projects, myRibbonRTF and myRibbonCalendar and have them functioning well. I want to tie these together with other projects in a single solution called myMain. When I add these projects to the solution, their forms are not accessible in myMain (e.g. myRibbonRTF.frmMain.Show()). I've searched high and low for the last week trying to solve this and the only nearby solution is to turn the other projects into .dlls and access them in myMain that way.

I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 for about a year and a half but the deployment task was never left to me. So now I'm being asked at my company to build a setup which will prompt to install up to 4 applications, which can be chosen by the user using checkboxes.
All of the 4 share the same dependencies, so I created a merge modules package for that purpose. But I still don't know how can I build a single setup to install these 4 applications.
