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.
The aim of my program is to load a picture into an pic box, then to be able to place multiple shapes on the picture in the pic box by clicking on the location where i want the shape. The type of shape will depend on the radio button which has been selected. Basically all i want is choice of X or O. (its not tic tac toe either At the end of it all i want to be able to save the image WITH the shapes on it, doesnt matter what format its in (gif, jpg, bmp) as long as it has color and i can see the original image with the shapes included.
I have made several attempts at this, and this is what i have so far. (I am brand new to VB and programming so i need all the help i can get) I have hit a wall with how far previous examples can get me.
When ever I add a new entry into the database, it will do it. When I click save, it will save it. When I go back to edit the entry after it was saved the first time, and I hit save again, I get a concurrency violation? It only does it when I add an entry. If I close the program out and restart it again I can save all day long as long as I don't add a new entry. First of all, dunno where the violation is coming from, but I only have a message box on my catch statement on the save button.
I have added it to the database using the following code 100 times and it has always worked: Me.shuttlerunsbindingsource.addnew()
My save code is: Try Me.Validate() Me.ShuttleRunsBindingSource.EndEdit() Me.ShuttleRunsTableAdapter.Update(Me.ShuttleRunsDataSet.ShuttleRuns) [Code] .....
Why after a million times of using this exact same code is it not working? It will save all day long no problem as long as I don't add a new entry. Here is my add Try ShuttleRunsBindingSource.AddNew() EmployeeInitialsTextBox.Text = lblUser.Text Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show("UNABLE TO ADD! " & ex.Message) End Try
The message box for the add code never shows so I can't see that is causing any trouble. I am using VS2010 and a local database, not SQL. I just tried doing it again, I added an entry, I saved it, I got a successful message. I then tried to change something and I got a concurrency violation when I clicked save again. I then tried to delete an entry and it successfully deleted it, but when I went to edit another entry and save I got the violation.
I have several textboxes trough which i add data in the database. after clicking the save button the data is added to teh database. and if i click again on the ssave button without changing the content of the texbox it adds the same data to the database. i have tryied using textbox.modified but it only works for blank textboxes. how could i prevent from adding the same data?
I have setup a page in Excel with several textboxes for data entry. I would like to be able to tab from textbox to textbox so I can enter this data as quickly as possible.
Just lately I've been 'playing' with entering data into a ListView and I have come up with the following code which seems to be OK. Can anyone see if there is any fault with it?
I'm trying to add a name of a product to a Textbox...the name of the product is stored in a database. Now there is a Combobox with number in them....1 2 3 ect. Now if you select one of the numbers it must display that product name?
Back on my form with a ton of financial data entry textboxes but I want to have the data formatted at runtime, as I enter the data.I have a format declared as Public Const cFmtCurrency = "##,###,###" ' don't need decimal for the local China currency What would be the least compicated way to have these textboxes (19 of them) format the Long Integer values as I enter the data. I think a Lost Focus event would be silly; there must be a better, more efficient way.Also want to use this format when I retreive records from the db (don't see a reason to mask data in db)
I've got a program and what I need is for a Timer (running in a different thread) to constantly be checking a TextBox for an entry that is similar to:Quote"(PlayerName)" has joined the server.Where (PlayerName) would be replaced with the players name in the TextBox. What I would need the TextBox to do after it has found this entry is to add (PlayerName) to a listbox. If someone can help me out this far then I can use the same code to get it to remove the player when they leave.Below is a picture of what it should look like inside the program.
Here is something that I had in a VB6 program that worked great and was very fast. I'm trying to get it to work in VS 2005 but i am having no luck. I can'r get an answer from searching this forum or from MSDN. Here was the VB 6 Private Declare Function sendMessageByString& Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String)
My project requires users to be 18+. I have supplied a textbox for birthdate entry, but I don't know if that's the best way. Also, I don't know how to format it so that it only accepts date entry. Next is the calculation part... yikes. today - bithday = age
Code: Private Sub Birthday_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Birthday.TextChanged End Sub

I hope someone can help me. I have an ATM machine connected to a server. A form takes a textBox entry as a PIN number and matches it to a card number in the same table which is the primary key. The card number is in a comboBox.Selected Item. I have used a dataset to fill the comboBox as the form loads. I have tried for days and got nowhere.
I just want to open a form based on a users input into the textbox
Public Class MainForm
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TagBox1.Click Form2.Show()
[CODE]....
I already have it opening the form2 based on a click from the picture, but decided aginst that design. Also any design on form2? (below) I am storing values for tags inside the forms....
Public Class Form2
Private Sub saveButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles saveButton.Click My.Settings.SaveTitle = TextBox1.Text
I have a single form in Visual Studio 2010...in that form...
TextBox = txtSearch Button = cmdSearch DataGridView = GridView1 GridView1 is bound to a View, tblAccounts.
tblAccounts includes multiple columns, including a text field for 'AccountName'...this name can be in one of two columns.I'm trying have a user enter any part of an AccountName in txtSearch, click cmdSearch, and return all matches in tblAccounts to GridView1.
i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb but,if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.
What is the code for ignoring the case of an entry while checking to see if the entry is correct or not... (i.e. in a flashcard program... given definition, asks for the name) I don't want the case of a character to affect whether the answer is correct or not.
I am trying to make a program with a bar code reader for the first time. I am programming with VB 2005. I want to differentiate a bar code entry to keyboard entry. My questions:
1. Does bar code reader generate a keydown (or keypress) event for each of the digits of the entry? For example, if the barcode read: 1234567890, does that mean that there will be 10 keydown (or keypress) events for that single barcode that was read?
2. I have read from the posts that the best way to differentiating keyboard vs bar code input is to analyse the time between keystroke (for less than certain number of milliseconds).
I need to write a program in VB 2008 express that takes an user entry from a textbox and strips out all the spaces, changes it to either all upper case or all lower case then checks to see if it is a palindrome. I must also include a loop structure and a decision structure. I have seen bits and pieces of code but I do not really know how to put them together. Basically I need it from the button click to the end. ?

I have a modified button control with a string array in it. I am having trouble sending the string array to the form with the modified button on it. Anyone know what i can do? The form uses a arrayList to hold the buttons since they are made at runtime.
How do you get a textbox being using for password entry to display the black circle that you often see in web forms, on the iphone etc etc?
I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?
I have a listview and on save or update of the database it saves the TicketID to the listview. It also shows all the prior tickets created in the listview as well. I would like to pass the very last entry ie in this case TicketID to a textbox so that it prints out a ticket with the ticketID for the user.
Don't really want to loop through all the other tickets in the listview since it could end up running into the tens of thousands of numbers.
[code]....I have a dialog that comes up and asks for a reason for declining the business.I don't want the code to move on after not enabling the "me" until the reason has been entered and saved into the database. Also, at that point where it says "I WANT...." I want to copy the textbox fields into a new database and then delete this entry from the database, how can I do that. I am using VS 2008 and SQL.
I am having trouble getting the Student Name entered in the Student Name Form to change the Text titles of the GroupBox's on the Main Form and Schedule Form. I understand the logic of what needs to be done to some extent, but I am having trouble coming up with the correct coding.
Below is a snippet of the Student Name Form code that I tried most recently just to see if I could get any change to happen to the other 2 Forms when the Accept Name button was clicked. As of yet, I cannot get a change to happen at all in the groupboxes of the other Forms.[code...]
I 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.
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
