We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?

I am trying to create a program that will have an option to automatically log you into a couple sites when you press the Start button. I have a separate form that you can open and put in your Username and Password for each site. There is a button that when you press it it is supposed to write to a file (C:DesktopAccounts.txt) you username and password so that when it is opened again you will not have to type them again. I had it working perfectly until I added some code so that it will remember if you had the check box checked and have the text box as read only (if check box is not checked). I even tried deleting the new code but it still will not write to the file, but it can read from it if I put the information in manually.

I have run into a problem with saving to database when running the program I am making.
I have an mdf file called prices.mdf and have set the "copy to output directory" to copy if newer setting and set this for the ldf file build action is set to content.. should it be compile or a different setting??
I access this database thru a dataset called pricelist dataset and when the program runs and you go to forms to update the prices, each form has a datagrid with the toolbar and the save icon. Mostly I followed tutorials to help me put it together.
When you run the change price menu for each part of the database, they appear to save each time u re run the program. But once you close down vb2010 and reopen it a day or so later and rerun, the new prices are gone and the old prices are being used.
I thought changing the setting on the mdf file to copy if newer is the usual fix for this, but as I said I have already got it set to copy if newer.
I can't figure out how to track what the dataset is accessing to make sure it is going to that database, or if i have made some sort of other database that it is accessing instead as well as the mdf database.
when I look at the dataset and the column entries for each part of the prices database, as to whether i need to check the dataset itself, or the forms the datagrids are on with the toolbar save icon, or whether there is another place to check to see if it needs to be changed to something like change if newer.
Obviously the program is working and doing the changes, but not storing them in the right place, so I am losing the changes once i shut down my project and reopen it.
also I have looked at the file propertiesand made sure they all set to copy if newer PricelistDataSet.xsd, pricelistdataset.designer.vb, and also the pricelist dataset.vb, xcs and xss ones are all set to copy if newer when I look in the solution explorer.butsome of the build part is set to compile on some and none for others As I am not experienced with VB 2010 or databases I am not sure how to track it down
Update: Just looked under each of the forms the data grids are on. and see the copy to output directorys on these are set to do not copy for each of the designer.vb, vb and resx. I am bit hesitant to change these without getting some advice from more experienced people if the forms also need to be set up to copy if newer.
This is what is shown in the coding on one of the forms if u double click on the save icon in toolbar

i want the user to login, and the first thing is, having the text document for that(if theres a safer way to do it, let me know) then it goes to the weekly sales page, but theres also the goals for the sales, which rarely change, but if they do i would like them to be able to change them, then next page is the list of the workers, and if they need to i would like them to be able to add workers. so my question is: is there anyway that maybe i could save both the goals, and the workers in the text document, and when they need to change it/add workers it will save it in the text document and the next time they sign in the changes will be permanent? also is there a way to delete the user once they have been created, other than going into the txt document and deleting it.
