I need my program to let the user choose a text file by browsing the computer then the file path of the file needs to be set as the New StreamReader path so that the computer can open the file.

I have some custom user controls in my .net winforms program that do not display correctly when the user has selected larger text size. This setting:
My controls look like this:
Instead of like this:
The bill to area and ship to area are both custom controls. I don't know if this is contributing to the problem but I do have code in each to scale the phone/fax areas to stretch nicely, like this code from the bill to control,
Private Sub panFaxPhone_Resize(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles panFaxPhone.Resize
panFax.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panPhone.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panFax.Left = panFaxPhone.Width - panFax.Width
End Sub
How can I get my controls to size correctly while still respecting the users choice for larger text (I don't want to just set the AutoScaleMode to None)? After playing with this for a long time it seems to be a problem with anchors in the child controls. See this below image, the inner black box is the control with its border turned on, the text boxes (like name) are anchored left and right and should stretch to fill the control, but don't.
sample_form.rtf (1.48MB). Number of downloads: 36. I have a working form to give specific choices to the user and retrieve the user's choice. (See code below and attached image in WordPad file.) I know I can use a global ("Public") variable to pass the text of the three choices from the calling form to the called form, but is there a way to pass these from one form to the other exclusively? Of course, my main objective is to have as little memory being used as possible. I would like to make the form in my example (frmDialogChoice) a generic form that can display any set of three choices.
code within calling form:
Dim intSwitchToMake As Integer
Dim insFrmDialogChoice As New frmDialogChoice
insFrmDialogChoice.ShowDialog()

No doubt a simple question, but I'm a beginner (I learnt GW BritingASIC in 3 months long ago - but after 6 months grappling with vb 2008 I am still bewidered).
I have written a program that asks the user at run time to choose 1 of 40 buttons. These are themselves defined at run time. Whichever button is chosen the same algoritm will run (using different data). Question: To save writing the same Button_Click routine 40 times, what code should I write - and where in the program - to detect which of the 40 the user has chosen?
I have four drop down lists here and I've assigned the datasource and displaymemberproperties so they are populated by a table. When I run the program and select a choice, all four of them get updated with the new choice.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to show or hide tabpages as per user choice. If user selects gender male then form for male in a tabpage "male" should be displayed and if user selects female then similar next form should be displayed in next tab "female" I tried using
tabControl1.TabPages.Remove(...) and
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(...)
It adds and removes the tabpages but doing so will loose my controls on tabpages too... i can't see them back.
I have designed this app with 5 pictureboxes. Each picturebox shows an image of a variation of a particular chord. Now, when a user types in (let's say) Cmajor (and it auto completes) how do I get the 5 pictureboxes to show the 5 different Voicing (Variations) of the Cmajor Chord?

I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?
Dim connString As String = "Data Source=" & pDataBase
conn = New SqlCeConnection(connString)
Dim strQuery As String = ""[code]......
I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

I want to "manage" a table of "orders." Orders is a typical table with a foreign key pointing to a customer, and a one-to-many relationship with a "details" table. To manage orders means to enter new orders, add details to orders, record payments, print a list of orders, cancel orders, mark orders shipped, print one order, etc., etc. These tasks can be divided into tasks that affect single orders (cancel an order) and tasks that affect multiple orders (print a list of orders).That task division led me to this user interface: present a form/window that displays by default a list of orders, and provide a button that switches the view from list mode to single-order mode. Each mode then provides the buttons for its tasks.

View 2 Replieshow to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])

I am about to start developing my second application in VB2008. The need is that it has to run on a network enviorment, probably under windows nt, the database has to be on the server so everybody uses the same data. The database is suppose to contain a lot of data on many tables, whatīs the ebst way to go? Access, SQL, foxpro dbf? Also what kind of project am I suppose to start? a windows app? or some kind of .net app.? I am sorry if I am saying dumb stuff itīs just that I am a rookie. Have in mind that after I build the application, many users have to have access to it from different computers and I also want the database to be availbale for a future website with forms and queries and stuff taken from the same database, is ASP the best choice for that purppose?
View 6 RepliesI'm developing a form that displays conference attendee data.I have a panel control on this form and would like to put a series of buttons at the bottom of this form that will open other forms in the panel. So for example, there would be a button to open the Address form, another button to open the Email form, and so on.There will be 10 buttons total. I have the Address and Email forms set up so far and it seems to work pretty slick.
Before I go any further, is this the best way to do this? FWIW, all forms will have a datarepeater control on them since there can be multiple addresses per attendee, multiple emails, etc.
I have a combo box which is set up with the follow properties and is populated with data and one blank row.

I have created a small sql database using new data source. i have placed buttons to move to next,previous,first and last row but i am wondering if there is a way of making a button which would randomly pick a row with information from database or just make it randomize them before they are appearing on the screen.
At first i have tried creating random number generator and then joining it with the coulmns in the database. I failed in the end even though i thought it was going to work. Then i thought maybe i have to change the query as in, instead of "Select that and that and that from database" i thought i have to write "Select that and that from database sort by rand", i also saw that some people write limit 1 or more afterwards but i have no clue what it is and didnt use it. Anyhow i tried that query and it didnt work.
EDIT: I also thought about adding all questions into array, or use some sort of indexing, but i have to use database as the requirement.
Also if anyone would be willing to give me an advise of what is best book i could buy, which would cover databases in sql and some beginner/intermediate programming in visual basic.
I made a combo box and i need to know how to set one variable for each choice in the combo box. for example, my choices are poor, average, good, and superior.
