In VS2008 (VB.NET) when you type Public Property X As SomeType and press enter, VS auto-generates the rest of that property definition for you.
I would like to be able to customize what VS generates. Any thoughts on how to go about that? VS must have a template for it somewhere, eh?
SELECT ContactID, FirstName, LastName, Male, Female, Email, Address
FROM Contact
WHERE (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%')
The above query works and returns values on first names that begin with whatever item I type in a text box.
How can I modify that code to search for items containing specified characters instead of just searching for items that begin with the specified characters. I would still need to use a wildcard because it is a search field. see below for an example
For example can I query the FirstName column to display people who's name contain the letters "an" in that order a before n but anywhere within the word e.g.
- Anna
- Jane
- Samantha
I am developing a custom control with VB9, and I want to add a Property Name TextFileName this property need to use OpenFileDialog, which type I can use when I define this property?
for example another property I use is EnterFocusColor and its type is System.Drawing.Color so when the user select the property it opens the ColorSelectionDialog Hany M. El Tarhony
I've got two classes deployed as COM+ components, let's say ClassA and ClassB. ClassA has some public properties. ClassB sets values for those properties and calls a method of ClassA. The method itself does not modify the value of the property. After the call the values of the properties are reset to default values for the corresponding types. This only happens if the called method includes statement ContextUtil.SetComplete(). Once I comment out the statement the values of the properties remain same as they were before the method call, which is what I expect. Do I overlook some basic concept of COM+ objects and their contexts? I would expect the property value to remain the same in any case.
Here's the simplified listing for the code:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System.EnterpriseServices
<Transaction(TransactionOption.Required)> _
Public Class ClassA

In the Designing Class section of Sam's 'learning 2010 in 24 Hours', it prompts you to type the following two statements:
Private m_intHeight As Integer
Public Property Height() As Integer
After you press Enter, VB is supposed to fill in the rest of the property procedure template but when I try it, this doesn't happen.I looked for a setting in the options dialog that might need to be set but didn't find one, if it exists.
For unit tests I would like to mimic different commandline arguments. How do I modify the commandLine args to my program at runtime (looked around but can't find the trick)? Basically I am trying to find a way to modify the contents of the READONLY property Environment.CommandLine.

I have a TreeView with a bunch of nodes. I have some code that is supposed to modify the label, however it has no effect.

In VB.NET,I want to create template at runtime and save it the template with name. for ex : Administrator design a page with 5 fields like using firstname, lastname, dob,nationality and job. He want to assign this page to the user with some restriction like user1 need to enter the all the fields and save it the forms as user1profile, but user2 need to enter only firstname and lastname and save it as user2profile.(in features, he can remove the fields from the form).
View 1 RepliesI have a simple user control, which is essentially just an AutoCompleteBox with some custom logic.
For a specific instance (a collection of Persons), I want it to look like this:
<sdk:AutoCompleteBox Name="myACB" ItemsSource="{Binding People}" FilterMode="StartsWith" MinimumPrefixLength="2" ValueMemberBinding={Binding LastName}>
[Code].....
I want the DisplayMember property to be the property name to display for whatever kind of custom collection (persons, cars, etc) I have bound to the AutoCompleteBox.
I don't think I can modify the datatemplate programmatically. Is there a way I can do this with binding (relative source)?
I'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).
I'm having some very weird issues with interfaces right now.
I have a very simple setup. In one of my class, I have a Property implementing a Property from an Interface.
In my class it's like:
Private _oForm As IForm
Public Property Form As IForm Implements IContainer.Form
Set(value As IForm)
[Code]...
I have like dozens of interfaces like this working throughout my project and I can't believe this simple one can't work!

I have been working on a inventory management system for a friend of mine. It has to be able to keep track of incoming and outgoing stock from his business.
I have already got all the programing done, working great! But now it has got to the stage, that I need the program to print out invoices from the program. I have the program extract certain records from an attached database, and will most probably pass them into a variable in the function.
NOW... I have a template of the tax invoice page setup in MS word. I was going to make a macro in word that will automatically fill in all the "static" information, but I was wondering if passing the variables from the main program into the word macro is: 1. possible and 2. the best way of doing this.
I am still a noob when it comes to VB so please excuse the next question, but is there a way to set up a page to be printed including tables, logo, different font styles.. etc within the VB program?

View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2008 Express, and I was wonder which Visual Studio Installed Template I should use just to execute VB code? Previously, I generated a project using Window Form template with a button to start, and it has references which made my .exe not to execute in any directory structure. Someone indicated that it must not have other absolute references and I think this was using absolute references? All I need to is to execute VB Code. What template would you suggest? Where do I put the start of the VB program to execute at? Since I don't need a form, there is no on event for me?

View 3 RepliesI've done a lot of work to customize the template for ContextMenu in my app, and it worked great as a "right-click" popup window.To my enormous surprise, when I wanted to add the same ContextMenu to a button to work as a kind of "drop-down" menu, it reverted back to the default template. It is really, really, weird, considering it's the exact same control I'm using, and when I right-click the button the template is the one I customized, but when I left-click it(and open it with ContextMenu.IsOpen = True) it uses the default template? I'm pretty baffled right now, and hope that this isn't one of the (many) quirks with WPF that will require me to write hundreds of lines of XML code to fix something that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place.

I have a an excel file that has been manually populated, and now needs to be automatically populated using ASP.NET, vb or c#. I've been looking around, and have found examples on how to export a gridview, and data to excel sheet, but not anyway to maintain the format of the original template. I've recently populated a word document using merge fields... does excel have anything similar? Could I break the file down into XML and use that as a template?

View 1 Replies1) VB Allows non-type template parameters
2) VB supports explicit specialization
3) VB allows the type parameters to be used as the base class for the generic type
4) VB allows a generic type parameter itself to to be a generic
5) VB enforces that all codes are valid for all types of parametrs what would be the Best Choice ?
