View 1 RepliesI want to pass a List of T where T is an object I've created that has about ten properties (strings, dates and integers).The lst passes to the function successfully. I am also passing an New T of the Object (itm as T).I can see all the values (see image below), but because it's generic I cannot seem to retrieve the property values and I cannot figure out how to iterate through the properties of each itm as they are retrieved in the For Each.[code]

View 2 RepliesHi
I've got a pretty general question about the best practice in passing an object reference to a Form in VB.NET. My form is a dialog and I've created an overload ShowDialog method, where I pass an Object into it ByRef.
The trouble is, I want to be able to refer to that Object throughout my dialog Class and not just in the ShowDialog method. For instance, some of my Events for controls on the form, need to reference that object.
I know I could create a local Private variable in the Class and assign it to the passed value, and then use that value. However I'm thinking this isn't very efficient because it would (I believe) create a new copy of the Object (which is a complex, large class in itself).
I have written my and in a test class for vb.net and it works as follows:
A stored procedure is executed and the result is saved in an xml file with the help of a dataset. What I need to do now is , Information of this dataset should also be redirected to a textbox in a form so that I can copy this information in clipboard and create dynamic assert statements for instance I want
datatable.rows.count,
datatable.columns.count,
datatable.columns(i).ColumnName,
and same to get columnType. All of this info would be shown in the form but I am unable to open a form in NUnit test class.
I am trying to display FirstName value from my database to a label in my form but it always gets an error. InfoDb is my Access Database. It contains the ff columns: UserName, Password, and FirstName. _AccName is the passed text in UNameTB-textbox in my login form which pertains to the UserName in my database.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a browser, and I can't seem to get it to show the current URL in my textbox. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.GoHome()
Url.Text = CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).LocationURL
End Sub
But I keep getting the error "'LocationURL' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser'"
I need it so that it changes according to tab. I think it might use the
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), code but I'm not sure.
Is it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?
View 1 RepliesI'm new in .Net and I have an application with windows form "LOGIN" When users enter the user and password and click "ok", then if user passes validation then I have the code Show(MDIMainMenu) (I'm trying to open an mdi form), but I receive the following error: "Form that is already visible cannot be displayed as a modal dialog box.

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?
Im trying to create a stopwatch in one form and another form show my progress bar using a combo box for mins and seconds to show the progress bar on form1 1
[Code]...
I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

This was a guess, after looking at the Form.ShowDialog method in reflector.My question is, is there a managed call I can make to acheive the same result, and what does a button click do that other clicks don't?
ETA: The problem does not occur if I open the form using a key.
This is a database app where I am trying to check for possible duplicates and give the user the option to keep the new record or assign to an existing record.In form1 the user will enter data into a textbox. I use this information to build a bindingsource.filter. Then I call another form (form2.show()) to display results to user and get user response. This part all works correctly.
The problem is that as soon as form2.show() executes, I loose the contents of the textbox - and it appears that I am no longer in the bindingsource.addnew() method.
