View 5 RepliesI have a datagridview control. I want to save the rows and then restore them the next time I run the program.
How do I write the rows out to an XML file?
I know how to fill the rows from an XML file. But when I've done so I can't add any more rows. It gives the following exception when I try: Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound. What can I do about this?
Or is there an easier way to save and restore the rows?
I have a listbox, a textbox, and a button. The button populates the textbox with the selected item & value of the listbox. As below:
Protected Sub GetVariables_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles GetVariables.Click
Me.txtLetter.Text = lstNames.SelectedItem.ToString & lstNames.SelectedValue.ToString
End Sub
The problem I have, is that when doing this it reloads the page each time. Any way around this?
I have my rpg, still, first time working on it n ages, and I want each user to be able to set their own personalized picture background for the game...
each character in the game has its own dedicated folder for each file that the character has relating to it...
what I want to know how to do, is to have my game copy the loaded/chosen background image to their respective characters data folder, and have the game reload/reset the games default background image, to the one piced by he player...I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this however...I've tried a lot of different things...and nothing is working yet...
here is my example code right now:

I have my form checked if it's dirty when a user goes to close it. If its dirty is true, the user is asked if they would like to save the data. When they click yes, the 'save event' is called. The problem I'm having is trying to get the form to completly close after saving. At the end of the save I put in me.close(), but another form closing event is triggered. Is this the correct way to dictate having the form close immediately after saving the data or is there a better way? If it is, I must have it placed in the wrong part of my code. Immediately after the "success" dialog box is displayed, I am asked if I want to save the data again.

I have created several classes and i wanted to know who to store the data enclosed in the classs. For Example [code]If i wanted to store that value past the close of the application, how would I? I already know I cant use the settings class. And what if i have multiple new classes.
View 3 RepliesI am using about 5 different filesystemwatcher routines total. I am using the following
filewatch.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.CreationTime Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite
AddHandler filewatch.Created, AddressOf addfile
AddHandler filewatch.Changed, AddressOf addfile
filewatch.EnableRaisingEvents = True
However, there is one problem with it... whenever I open a file and change stuff, then close it without saving the changes, the events still fire. I am opening excel workbooks in code, then use xlsWB.Close(SaveChanges:=False) to close them, and the event still fires, where the file isn't really changed so it should not fire.
What is the correct way to handle saving user control settings on form close. I have a tabcontrol that a user can add tabpages during runtime. The user control has a few controls (listbox,combobox,textbox) How can I save the created tabpages and the data in each control in the usercontrol? Below is how I am calling my usercontrol
Code
Public Class TabPageEx
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
[code]....
I seem to be a little lost as most documentation seems to suggest that I can not save usercontrol settings in the app.config. I have played around with the solution expl. settings tab without much success. But, then again I may be going about it all wrong. So, I am looking for a little direction on the best way to handle this on form close.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.
View 2 RepliesI have 2 forms (clients and contacts). When I double click the datagridview (wich resides on a tabcontrol) the contact form is opened (frmcontact.showdialog).
Then I close the form (me.close (in form closing I do a me.dispose))
Then I want to open an empty contactform but it contains the value of the last time I opened the contactsform.
Everywhere else in my programm it's working fine. Just not here.
i would like to ask few question regarding the saving textbox value into PDF file
i used this code in my application
Private Sub SaveBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveBtn.Click
'SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[Code]....
however when i saved it as PDF file, i cant open the PDF file that i have saved.
If we make any changes to the registry, Its necessary to restart the system. can we make it without restarting through program...?
View 7 RepliesI have main form in which there are 5 buttons to go to 5 diffent forms. lets say main form as form1 and i have 5 sub forms.
in the form2 there is textfield(i name it as txtid).txtid is refrerred as a base for form3,form4,form5 and form6 to pull up the data. in form3 i have a textbox having same value of form2 txtid.
i can get the txtid values into all other forms only when form2 is open if i close form2 and try reopening form2 or anyother form the value in txtid is empty.
I want to know how do i save the value of txtid permanently.
I made a query for inserting a value from text box to MS ACCESS db
sql = "INSERT INTO Equipment (port_number,display_name,equipment,tonnage,user_privilage) VALUES (" & CLng(txtPort.Text) & ", '" & CStr(txtDisplay.Text) & "', '" & CStr(txtCA.Text) & "', " & CLng(txtTonnage.Text) & ", '" & CStr(cmbUser.Text) & "')"
Actually I meant for inserting the data entered in the text box, but now saving is the code itself i,e; in port_number column 'CIng(txtPort.Text) ' will be saved
I am trying to save the information that I type in some textboxes to a textfile at the the moment I am using the IO.File.AppendAllText to write the information to txt file. When I press the button the information is added to my txt, but when I close my form the information disappears it doesn't save. I have tried using the SaveFileDialog but it doesn't work.
Is there a way that I can save the information that I type in the textboxes to automatically save when I press the button on my form, and make the information save to my txt file when I close my form and the information still be on my txt file when I open the form again The reason that I am using the appendalltext is because I want to add information to the txt file not replace the information that is already on the txt file
How can i make it so i have like 3 textboxes

I have a form that display's 5 text boxes for student names. Each student names has 5 text boxes to the right of it, the text boxes to the right are for 5 test scores to be inputted. I need to save the values of every one of the text boxes to 2 array's that are declared in a Basic Module, (this is my first application that uses multiple forms) but the values need to be saved not when a button is pressed, but when the user changes the text in the boxes.
View 6 RepliesWhen you you right click on a textbox the context menu is automatically open.
I have put a textbox inside a relatively complex user defined user control.
The annoing thing is that when I try to open the context menu with a rightclick the context menu is open but it shuts down soon after.
I tried to see if the mousedown or mouseUp of my (preview and not) usercontrol could interfere with this but i did not find anything.
Is there any trick that I can use to see what forces my context menu to close soon after is open?
Is there something in Vb2008 that allows me to see the steps widthout using breackpoints

I have a GridView, named GridView1 used to getting data from SQL Server Database, because the data from database always changing, I would like to get the new data to display on the GridView1 when a user press the "Fresh Button"
I tried:
GridView1.Refresh() - did not work
Me.Refresh() - did not work
Me.Hide() then Me.Show() did not work
[Code]....
I want, when I show Form2, the form1 should be displayed in background. And when I close Form2, the form1 should be updated or starting complete new Form1. I do this but there are two tabs of Form1 in TaskBar. One is background display Form1 and another is updated. I want only one Form to be displayed.
View 9 RepliesI've been working on this game the past few days, a simple game where two people control different tanks, and shoot each other, very basic so far.The problem I have is when one player is dead. I have the form recognizing each players death by using this code (It's within a timer subroutine)
'Player One Dead
If intPlayerOneHealth <= 0 Then
btnReplay.Visible = True
End If
[code]....
and that code is replicated for every key pressed (Arrow keys, WASD, e, and end). Those booleans are handled in a timer subroutine, where if the boolean is true, they will move/shoot. (Turning the booleans to false is done in the 'Private Sub KeysUp' subroutine)
TL;DR How do I get the game to restart itself when a player dies and hits the replay button?
P.S. I've tried 'Me.Refresh()' as well, and that didn't do anything
I have a scenario in my vb.net project.I have 70 textbox in my form and planing to save it in the database using access.It's hard to explain y is there 70 textbox there but i will just draw it here [code]5 in the column X 14 in row = 70 Textboxes.What i did is I place all the GRAVEL textbox in the table batch with the attribute name GRAVEL by using a string name called GravelLin.[code]I manage to save the text in this manner txtg,txt2g,txt3g,
1. Since the save data in my table in the database is separated by comma, I know how to extract it and place it in there designated textboxes, but im thinking, or my mistake, its a very long code.Is there a way i can make my code not that long??
2. Is there a better way to save my textboxes? in a way that my code will not that long.
My windows form as a bunch of textboxes on it that basically let the user put in different positions/forces that a test cycle then uses. I am trying to let the user save their profile settings/open the settings so they don't have to input the same values every time they want to run the same test. Here is my code so far. basically, when i save my csv file, and open it, all 6 textbox values are plopped in the first textbox instead of being distributed to their original boxes. I just read about a "split" function
code
Private Sub SaveProfileToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveProfileToolStripMenuItem.Click
SaveProfileDialog.ShowDialog()

Okay, that snippet made the file I was trying to open in the %USERNAME%AppDataLocal folder worked perfectly, again, many thanks - But now I'm 3/4 of the way through my program, and I've hit a wall - I have the exact same program I made in VB6, and it works to perfection, but I am TRYING to switch over to .NET, and am finding a lot of difficulties in getting certain things to work - My biggest headache right now [ Which is basically the finishing of my program ] is a bit hard to explain, so this may be a rather long post: One of my programs that I use to keep track of my Music hard drive outputs to an XML file, in which there is one line I would like to be able to 'Replace' through the program I am making now to a different user-defined string, and close [ Applying string change/save ] the XML file. I have my Main Form, a TextBox1 [ I can't get the XML to open in a ListBox like I wanted ], TextBox2, a 'Locate String' Button, a 'Modify' Button, and an Exit Button. I open the XML file with this in my Form1_Load event into my TextBox1:[code]
The <DateValue> is the line I want to be able to modify [ Which the entire string looks like this: <DateValue>2010-04-10T10:00:03.5009756-04:00 </DateValue>, and I want to be able to change the date and time to whatever the user specifies ], which once the XML is loaded into TextBox1, when the 'Modify' Button is clicked, that string is then loaded into TextBox2... This is where I am lost - How can I apply the modified string to the TextBox1.Text [ Entire XML file ], and save it upon program end, without the rest of the XML lines being disturbed? I realized I needed another Button - The 'Modify' Button now loads the selected string into TextBox2, and I have a 3rd Button to 'Apply Modification', which I want to update the <DateValue> string in the TextBox1 [ Full XML file ] from the modified string in TextBox2, then save on exit - Hope this helped clarify things.So here's the routine:
1. Form loads, opening the XML file, and loading it into TextBox1.
2. User clicks 'Modify' Button to load searched string into TextBox2.
3. User modifies TextBox2 entry.
4. User clicks 'Apply Modification' Button, which changes the searched string in TextBox1 to the modified user-defined string.
5. User clicks 'Exit', which saves the XML changes from TextBox1 [ Without messing up the XML file format ], and the program ends.
I have binded a textbox to a column in a SQL Server 2005 Database, when i fill the dataset it displays the data, but when i click the save button it doesn not save the changes to the database. I used this same code to do a Datagridview and it worked fine. [code]
View 2 RepliesThe EID has a picture from the person also.I decided not to save the image directly into the SQL database, but store it in the application directory.However i cannot seem to figure out how i can save it with a filename taken from one or more textboxes.
This is what i am using right now, but as you can see it saves it as Test.Jpeg
Dim file_name As String = Application.ExecutablePath
file_name = file_name.Substring(0, _
