When I drag a dataset onto a form (as details), is there a way in which the textFields maxLength property is automatically set with the width within the actual table. Or do i have to select each textBox and enter it manually?
View 1 RepliesIf you assign a string that is longer than the current value of the MaxLenght property, VB6 automatically trims the value to MaxLength characters, whereas VB.NET doesn't. Is there any way to achieve the same in VB.Net.
View 1 Repliesi am struggling with something quite elementary and simple. I am creating 200 dynamic textboxes with the following code :
[Code]...
Now, I need to restrict the user to type a maximum of 5 characters inside. The MaxLength property is supposed to help me with that, but the user is still allowed to type more than five characters!Later on, after I have crossed this bridge, I'll need to allow a minimum of five as well - so that the user will always be able to enter only five characters inside each textbox. Another problem in the future will be to allow only numeric digits. These are product codes, whic are always numeric, and always 5 characters in length
This Winforms app has a toolStripComboBox within a MenuStrip container that displays Culture Info languages.The toolStripComboBox's width is not expanding to accommodate the size of the string. The strings are dynamically added to the combobox from underlying code. How do I get the comboboxe's width to expand? Below is an image of the'too narrow' combobox and below that the Properties for the combobox.
View 1 RepliesI have a DataColumn and call the MaxLength Property on it to get the length of data that can go into a field ... but it always returns -1 (yes even on a string field).
View 8 RepliesI have tried everything and read everything and I still can't set the height and width of a document? It always boils down to setting the kind to "Custom", however the
Dim psize As Printing.PaperSize
psize.Kind = PaperKind.Custom
always fails on property 'Kind' is read only.
Then of course the line psize.height = 200 always aborts because 'Kind is not set to custom'.
I have a stack panel with 10 borders in it. the application performs the following operations:
1) it takes the last border and set its width = 0
2) It remove the border form the last position and it inserts this border in the first position
3) Once is in the first position a double animation increases its width to 50
No it works well for 10 times then it become impossible to set the width of the border to 50, it stay to 0. It looks like when you run a double animation the width property becomes blocked and you can not change it. Is there a way to unblock it?
I am exporting data from a DataGridView into Excel, how can i set the size of a column when exporting?
View 2 RepliesI am working with binary files that have 500 rows and 500 columns (width x height).

View 15 RepliesI have a databound DataGridView, and I'd like to keep one column in front, with a slightly smaller width than the default. The grid's AutoSizeColumnsMode property is set to Fill so that the columns fill out the entire grid. This makes the first column equally large as all others, which is why I need to set its width manually. The smaller column is the first one with the checkboxes. I have two grids that I need to do this with, and for some reason it works just fine with the first grid, but gives a null reference error on the second grid...
Here's the code for the first grid (working fine):
vb.net
Public Sub UpdateTodoGrid()
' Load todo items
todoGrid.DataSource = _TodoManager.LoadAll()
' Set backcolor
For Each row As DataGridViewRow In todoGrid.Rows
[Code] .....
As you can see, the code is exactly the same (except for not setting the BackColor of each row and not using the ReadOnly property*). When I run this code, it gives me a null reference error ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") on the line where I set the column's Width. Obviously 'col' is not Nothing (otherwise it would have errored before that line), and there's nothing else there that could be Nothing... I assume that something happens internally in the grid when you set the width of a column, and that there is a null reference there, but obviously I have no control over that.
The grid's are absolutely the same, as the second grid is just a 'copy' (meaning I copy/pasted it in the designer) of the first. So all their properties are equal. I thought maybe the ReadOnly properties were the problem, but I tried putting them in in the same way and the issue did not go away... The first grid is not ReadOnly (because the checkboxes need to be editable), but all rows except the first are, while the second grid is completely ReadOnly.
In on a section of my book about classes and properties. In this example, the author is attempting to show how you can validate a value passed to the property before setting the property. Looks like so far in this book, a couple of things have slipped past the editor, and I think this might be another one...Here's the example:

I am building a code behind page that has a public property (MyDTOItem) which is essentially a DTO object (dtDTOItem) Note: In my code the Get and Set are actually real code (I stripped it for the example).The problem I am having is in the Page_Load event. When I set the .Member1 property of the DTO object the Get code runs and not the Set and therefore the DTO ibject property .Member1 never gets assigned. I figured out that if I add code (MyDTOItem = New dtDTOItem) to the Page_Load event then it will set the value correctly. What I am trying to figure out is how to initialize the property object without having to do it explicitly. It has to be an extended property because I have custom Get and Set code.
Public Property MyDTOItem As dtDTOItem
Get
End Get
Set(value As dtDTOItem)

I am converting a 1.1 .NET web app to 3.5, and I've run into a bit of a jam.
One web control has a Property that sets the page title label on that web control.

I'm new to classes. In my Who wants to be a Millionaire application, I have a Lifeline class and I create three instances of it - FF, PAF and ATA (50/50, Phone a Friend and Ask the Audience). Something I do with a lifeline is put a cross over its logo, hence the need for a centrepoint property, which marks the centre of the cross on a form.
Public Class Lifeline
Private ptCentrePoint As Point
Public Property CentrePoint() As Point
Get
CentrePoint = ptCentrePoint
[Code] .....
What happens is that at the "Call Form2.DrawCross(Form2.CentrePoint)" line, the tooltip shows that the FF object's centrepoint property isn't set (as I thought it would be by " FF.CentrePoint = tmpPoint").
I have this simple code,
Protected Sub grdSearch_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grdSearch.SelectedIndexChanged

Doing so causes this error, 'UserName' could not be resolved in the current scope or context. Make sure that all referenced variables are in scope, that required schemas are loaded, and that namespaces are referenced correctly. Near simple identifier, line 6, column 1.
The datasource works fine before the where property is set.Update: I found the issue but I still don't get it.Adding it. in the where clause solves the issue. Like this,
TimeOff.Where = "it.UserName=""" & grdSearch.SelectedValue & """"

I am creating a customised version of the ListView control and there are several of the properties that a ListView has that I would like to be set to a different value to the ListView default when a user goes to use my user control.
From what I've found there seems to be a number of people suggesting just set them in the constructor, but to the best of my knowledge that would just mean that the user would not be able to change the properties in the PropertyGrid in the VS IDE.I assume this is probably something extremely simple that I have overlooked.
