I'm working on a VB Winform project using Visual Studio 2008. The form's controls are all bound to a bindng source and a binding navigator which are tied to a dataset class. When the form is displayed, the first record is displayed as well. However, one of the controls (Radio button) is not showing the correct data from the data set. However, if I navigate to the next record and move back to the first, the radio button properly displays the correct information, so it appears the binding source is working the way it is suppose to.

View 3 RepliesI refreshed my data sources to include additional items from the SQL Server databases and it appears that my entire data source from my VB.NET project disappeared.I am using Entity Framework. I may have clicked on something wrong, not quite sure. Unfortunately I can't recreate the Data Source without creating a new Entity and Data Model.I can delete the entry in the App.Config file and recreated it, however things aren't quite right.Is there a way that I can recreate my Data Source from the entry that is in my App.Config file...since that appears to have remained intact.BTW, I can go to my Data Model and successfully refresh from there, however my project isn't connecting to the database so I have quite a number of errors until I can get reconnected.

View 5 RepliesI'm working on a program that will randomly select a loadout(weapon, perks, etc), but the user enters their current level to get the loadout. This is important because certain guns unlock at certain levels, so i don't want someone getting something they can't use.
I'm not sure what the best way of approaching this is. All i can think of is either getting a random item, checking if the user's level is high enough then if it's not high enough do it again.
