I have a module that has a load of properties in them but whenever I try to add data to the variables it doesn't save. Any reason why?
Public Class clsFormSettings
Public _colour As Color
Public _font As Font
Public _fontColour As Color
[code]....
I tried to set another form the background colour red and the variables are empty when I step through it.

View 3 Replies[code]I want to make the Properties Window to update the properties for X and Y at each MouseMove, so they become immediately visible for the user.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
Is there a way to expose a UserControl's properties to the Properties Window in the Designer?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()

What I've done is create a User Control Library (Project) and I've added a single User Control to that project. The control contains a single FlowLayoutPanel, and I created a Property on the control itself to pass the FlowDirection from the Control to its FlowLayoutPanel child.
Build, reference, component appears in the Toolbox and everything works fine, but the property on the control does not appear in the Properties window when I go to edit it at design time.
I have been searching the Forums for a solution to my problem, but I can't find anything that relates to my specific situation. All of the postings regarding not being able to save changes to a database have had to do with a datagridview. On forms that I do have a datagridview, my changes are saved.But I have a form with textboxes, comboboxes, and pictureboxes bound to a bindingsource,

I have a control that has multiple tableadapters used to show various information.My delima is that I dont want to update all of them if the data for them was never modifed.Is it possible to check all bindingsources to see if they have any changes and force the ones that have modifed rows to update?
View 15 RepliesI have a BLL class which contains properties for the fields in a Country table (CountryCode, CountryName, etc). It also has a property ioDAL, which is a reference to a DAL class (created with SubSonic 2.2), which has same named fields.
I have a LoadRecord() method which calls the DAL's FetchById() method that populates the DAL properties by calling the database (SQL Server 2005 FWIW).What I then want to do, rather than writing code to populate each BLL property from its DAL equivalent, is to use AutoMapper (from CodePlex). I think the line should be something like
Mapper.CreateMap(ioDAL, Me)()but this gives errors "Value of type (DAL class / namespace naming) cannot be converted to 'System.Type'" and "Value of type (BLL class / namespace naming) cannot be converted to 'System.Type'".

View 9 RepliesUsing VB 2008 Express, I've constructed a simple database type app for saving contacts. The table data I save at design time is always saved correctly but data entered at run time seems to get saved even after closing the app and VB. However, after restarting the computer, the newly entered data is usually gone. Why would this be? I've seen a few video tutorials on creating simple database apps and did everything they did and am getting the same problem. I thought it was a configuration problem so I actually re-installed Windows and VB 2008 Express (as well as 2010 Beta 2). I have noticed that in the database explorer, the .mdf file has a red x to the bottom right of the yellow database icon and when I click the + it seems to turn into a black plug. Is this normal?

Dim dal As New CreateDAL
Dim bll As New createBLL
Dim searchQuery As String

However, upon click the button which calls these codes, the powerpoint slideshow that is saved does not end when it is in slideshow mode. For eg, there is 5 slides, after reaching the 5th slide, it returns back to the 1st slide and repeats over and over again. I'll have to press the ESC key to end the slide show. Is there anyway to prevent this? Perhaps I'm missing a statement to make the ending slide the last side?

so i added a service based database in my visual basic project. At this time the project only exists of logging in or registering, after which you'll log in.now all my SQL seems to be correct and working, the code is good, but when i register new user, it doesn't get stored in the database. but it does get stored...
i know sounds weird right, well what i mean is that apparently the data is getting stored somewhere because i check whether or not the username exists already. if it does i get a message box. Now the weird thing is that between builds and runs it remembers all the users i registered, but when i close the program and later re-open it, all the data is gone...
