I'm wanting to create a form with several fields thing is, I don't know how many fields a client will need, So i want to be able to add new fields to the form with a button click and reset the form back to normal when they submit that information.

A tabcontrol's backgroundimage caused severe flicker problems when resizing a windows form. By setting that property to NONE at designtime and that adding it at the very end of the processing pipeline & after the window had been maximized, the flicker problem on initial form load was solved.
HOWEVER, now when a tabpage resize event is fired, I would like to remove that image at the beginning of the resize and add it back to the tabpage at the end of the resize event. The following code however does NOT work. I get an error in the resize event, Property cannot be found.
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown TabPage.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.GraphicallyIntenseImageToDraw
In VB.NET I used wscript.shell to add a shortcut to the desktop. I didn't realize it created the shortcut on the "All Users" desktop, which means I can't delete it. I don't have admin rights as this is my work computer, and asking for admin isn't an option. WScript.Shell has a createshortcut method but not a remove shortcut method! I've been googling for days with no luck. Windows XP Pro 2002, SP3.

I'm looking for adding a control on top of others controls during runtime.
I read that the only way of playing with the Z-Order of controls is by playing with the order of the controls inside the Form.Controls Collection. I find this solution very weird and weak and I'm looking for an alternative.
Does anyone has an idea? I just want to make some kind of modal dialog that'll show below another user control to notice the user that the user control is currently doing something.
Edit: I tried using Control.BringToFront() but it doesn't work at all.
This was explained in a recent thread - but I can't find it again :-( Why won't the following work? I am trying to set the bounds on 9 buttons - Button11 to Button19. All these buttons are already added in design time. qli() is a rectangle array.

How to add a control like picturebox programatically and Allow user to move it with mouse? on google but cant find anything. Thats why I am here. In my application user creates a picturebox and a label at runtime by selecting a file from drag drop. User can create as many files he wants. But the problem is that I dont know that how to move both picturebox and label to change their location in a flowlayoutpanel which contains these controls with mouse. I know that how to add a control like picturebox programatically but dont know how to move it. I add picturebox by:
dim picturebox as new picturebox flowlayoutpanel1.controls.add(picturebox)
In my ASP.NET Web Forms I would like to get the DataNavigateUrlFields from the HyperLinkField control.
In order to get the control I use the following code in the RowDataBound event:
If e.Row.Cells(n).Controls(0).GetType().ToString() = "System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink" Then Dim linkDownload As HyperLink = DirectCast(e.Row.Cells(n).Controls(0), HyperLink)
[Code]....
Is there any way to get the DataNavigateUrlFields property? In case there is not, is there any function to extract the downloadGuid value from HyperLink.NavigateUrl (in short treating the NavigateUrl as a QueryString)?
I have a vb.net asp application where I'm loading a control (from another control on a page). I want to set a variable between the two controls when it loads. This is where I load the control:
It is a requirement that all .net Controls are created on the main thread, at least this is necessary if the intent is to integrate the control in with the interface which is usually the case. Additionally to modify properties on the control one must invoke the method from the control's thread using its own invoke method.
Is there a way to look at a control and identify its owning thread directly?
Additionally or conversely, is it possible to detect whether the current thread is the "Main thread"? Is there anything special about the thread that Visual Studio identifies as the main thread that can be seen at runtime, or is it simply that this is the first thread that VS executes to initialise debugging?
how to Programmatically use the " Photo Print Wizard" to print sets of pictures and set properties like picture style, printer name, number of copies, etc, without displaying the " Photo Print Wizard" interface
Dim dialog As Object = CreateObject("WIA.CommonDialog") Dim docnam As String = "" Dim i As Integer = 0[code]....
what the above code block does is to open the " Photo Print Wizard" with the list of all the selected pictures......., but I can't set the " Photo Print Wizard" properties "Programmatically
The backcolor of a default DateTimePicker control seems to be Color.White, but can this change based on a users theme colours and how do I find out what it is currently set to?(There is no backcolour property and DateTimePicker.DefaultBackColor returns SystemColors.Control which is not actually correct)I guess that if someone can confirm that this can't change then I am safe to hard code it? The basis of this question was not actually a typo, it was the fact that BackColor does not show up in my DateTimePicker control intellisense.
I have a MS Access database set up, with a Period field that has either values 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I retrieve these values using a database connection and I would like to reference a particular control based on what period was grabbed from the database.
Here's example code, pseudo of course.
TextBox(dr(3)).Text = dr(0)
dr(3) contains the period, and dr(0) contains the content I would like to put into the text box. I have these text boxes on my form: TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4 and TextBox5.
So if dr(3) contained 2 then I would want to reference TextBox2.
I do a lot of programming in VS 2010 on my Windows XP Pro PC. Recently I tried testing my software on a Windows 7 Home PC. For some reason, all of the controls on my forms are slightly misplaced. I also get a bunch of unhandled exceptions I don't get on my pc. For example, one exception said it couldn't access a registry key. Another said it couldn't find the part of a path (it didnt specify which path). What's up? Why is it doing this? My Win XP PC tricks me into thinking my apps are bug free. Guess not.
I know I can open the control panel item by using the following command %windir%system32SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe. However what I do not know is there a way to programmatically select the options on that control panel item? For example in a vb program I can launch that panel quietly have the program select "adjust for best performance" or select "let windows decide" Apply it and then close ?
I'm adding web user controls to a page dynamically. Using the LoadControl method that only takes a virtual path pointing to the .ascx works pretty nicely. However, the overload of LoadControl that takes a type and an array of parameters is causing me some headaches. The web user control is instantiated as expected, but the controls contained within the web user control are null and I get an exception as soon as I try to work with them. Strange, because it's working when use the first version of LoadControl.
The web user control, simple, with a Literal control:
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="MyControl.ascx.vb" Inherits="MyControl" %> <asp:Literal ID="myLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
The controls' code behind:
Public Class MyControl Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl Public Property Data As MyData
[code]....
And the relevant code from the .aspx from which I'm trying to dynamically load the control:
Private Sub Page_Init(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init Dim x = LoadControl(GetType(MyControl), New Object() {New MyData With {.ID = 117}}) Page.Controls.Add(x)
I have a User Control which is a customer input form.I'm working on a sales system, when generating a sale, the customer data is populated by a Javascript Auto Complete, but when loading a saved sale, I need to paste a User ID into the control programatically.
Renders my control on the page within the markup of the parent document (in this case it's called newSale.aspx)In the code behind in newSale.aspx.vb I need to be able to programmtically change the value of the Controls customerID attribute. I can't seem to do it.This is what I have done, following various Googling attempts, but it is always leaving the customerID as zero
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init customerForm1.customerID = "0" '// default Customer ID if no invoice number If Request.QueryString("invno") <> "" Then
