Using Visual Studio 2010 / VB.net Windows forms application I have a weird situation occuring. I have a rather simple windows form program I have written where a second form is opened by pressing a button on the "main" form. It is opened simply by the following on the click event:
[Code]...
I want to move a label across the form every X milliseconds. How do I do that? I understand how to use a timer, but don't know how to move the control. Here is my
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Label1.Location.X = Label1.Location.X + 10
End Sub
"Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment."
I've been trying to get a Timer to execute code every 50ms and it's worked okay, but for some reason after doing the code 8 times (i.e. for 400ms) it just stops. As in, won't execute the code any more times. Specifically, it's wired up to an animation (Picture) and a rectangle which moves around the screen (Box). why the timer would suddenly stop executing after doing so for a while? It's the same duration every time.

A form has many buttons. One of those buttons contains code to update the TableAdapterManager. One of the many TextBox controls has code in a Validating event handler. There is code to make sure a US phone number is formatted properly.If the user tabs out of the TextBox the Validating code works perfectly and show a message to the user if the phone number is not properly formatted and the focus is place in the offending TextBox.If the user clicks on a button that has code to update the TableAdapterManager the Validating code fires but instead of focus remaining on the offending TextBox, the code in the button Click handler also fires.
I would like to stop the button code from firing.Here is the code for the Validating event of the TextBox:
Private Sub TextBoxPrimaryPhone_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBoxPrimaryPhone.Validating
' Make sure the phone is formatted correctly.
[code]....
What additional coding to I need to include so focus remains on the TextBox?
Simply enough, I closed a design window, and now I can't reopen it.Whenever I click on the form in the Solution Explorer, there is no option to show the design view, yet I know that there is one.When I go to the folder where the files are stored, there is a file there is supposedly the design of the form I closed, but when I open it, all that appears is another window of code.

View 1 Replieshow to use the timer to control the blinking? Cuz i tried to stop one timer, it did stop this timer but if i didnt stop the timer 1, both timer 1 and timer 2 will begin although the data is in different entity. By right if the alarm comes in from block 2, only block 2 button will blink, like wise if the alarm comes in from block 1, only block 1 button will blink

I have a Windows Service -which contains a System.Timer -which get enabled and started in the OnStart event handler.In the Timer Elapsed event -I make a call to a routine within another DLL. The problem is that the Timer Elapsed event never fires... I have a test application -which works fine. This is written in VB.Net 2008 framework 3.5
View 3 RepliesIn my project I've got a MainWindow that opens up a second Window. Inside the second Window there is a Frame and I start a navigationservice inside the Frame. Also in the second Window I've got a KeyDown method that calls Me.Close when the user presses the Escape key. Anyway, when the second Window closes a System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer() inside one of the pages in the navigation service doesn't end. Any ideas on how can I close the second Window and terminate the DispatcherTimer inside the navigationservice?
View 2 Repliesfor example i have this code :
Sub Month()
Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
Conn.Open()
Try
Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
With Cmd
[Code]...
What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)
Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be freed ? or will it stay open ?
If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?
Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?
I have used timers in .Net for a long time now an never had this problem.Start timer to fire every 10 seconds that reads an object and updates the UI using a delegate.This works great until the form is minimized several times, then the timer thread seems to vanish.Anyone come across this before?
Obviously I can roll my own using a thread directly and sleeping it, however this seems like reinventing the wheel when a threading timer class exists already.

I am using a combo box on a form in vb net 2008. I would like the user to be able to either tab to the control and then select an
item OR the user could click on the combo box and then select the item.
unfortunately it fires twice when the user clicks on the control. This is before any items are selected. I have tried placing it in mouse down , focus , key down etc etc.
It does not fire twice for the enter event so I tried to use that alone, but then there is no dropping down of the combo box when the user clicks on the control. Is there a way to release the combo box enter event on the mouse click event?

I am trying to create a winform that will allow me to close when the form either loses focus or deavtivate. When I do Me.Show, it will call the deactivate? Is that right or is weird? The way took it was it fires when it either looses focus or is no longer the active form.
Also it seem like I have to click the form in order for it to work right. I tried Me.focus and that does work the way I expected.
I read data into a DS from an XML file. The user has the ability to "Save" or "Save As" at any time. They can also "Open" an existing file or create a "New" one. (brilliant, don't you think?)
I need to make sure I ask the user if they want to save their existing data (i.e. rewrite the XML file) if the DS has changed from the XML load or from the last time they Saved. On Open, New or exit I have been checking the HasChanges function on the DS. This doesn't work the way that I need. I use AcceptChanges throughout the program to commit values to the DS. This appears to kill the HasChanges even though the DS is now different than the XML file.
Is there an event in the DS that fires when data changes? If so, I believe I can set a flag that can be checked later. If not, is there any other way to track that a DS has changed after the initial XML load? Would reloading the XML into a cloned DS and comparing the two work? Seems like a waste of "time", especially with large XML files, but if it's the only way.

View 4 RepliesIn VS2005 I am using click on some elements in a webbrowser document to perform certain functions, eg print or open MS Paint but for some reason all the mouse events fire twice. A second click on the same element might be intentional so I can't just bypass code if the ID is the same as last time. There are no other calls of Document_Click anywhere in the project.[code]I supposes I could stick a timer on it and ignore any within 1s say but cheers for any more elegant solutions.

This is just stupid. I've been at this for over 5 hours and can't figure out why my freaking commands aren't firing properly. The only ones that fire properly are the Built-in commands "Edit" & "Cancel"

I'm looking for an event on a form that fires after Form.Load. Specifically, after the form has been displayed. Is there one?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to unit test for data being input into a textbox (txtPrice). If it is not numeric, it throws a messagebox stating that the input must be numeric. However, when I unit test, I can't figure out why my test fires the message box twice.THis is my (simple) unit test:
Public Sub txtBoxes_LeaveTest()
Dim target As frmEstimate_Accessor = New frmEstimate_Accessor ' TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
Dim sender As Object = Nothing ' TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value[code].....
My understanding is that for unit testing, you declare the sender, and (in this case) set the sender to some value that will trip the message box. 112L should do this on the leave event. I then write my expected, which in this case is 112L, fire the event, and then get the actual out of the text box. I then Assert.AreEqual to ensure the expected and actual are the same.
When I write a byte array to a device using this code, the DataReceived Event never fires.....

AND if the sleep is <40, the event doesn't fire. Is this necessary or am I overlooking something?
I need an accurate timer to interface a Windows application to a piece of lab equipment.I used System.Timers.Timer() to create a timer that ticks every 10 msec, but this clock runs slow. For example 1000 ticks with an interval of 10 msec should take 10 wall-clock seconds, but it actually takes more like 20 wall-clock sec (on my PC). I am guessing this is because System.Timers.Timer() is an interval timer that is reset every time it elapses. Since it will always take some time between when the timer elapses and when it is reset (to another 10msec) the clock will run slow. This probably fine if the interval is large (seconds or minutes) but unacceptable for very short intervals.Is there a function on Windows that will trigger a procedure every time the system clock crosses a 10 msec (or whatever) boundary?
UPDATE: System.Timers.Timer() is extremely inaccurate for small intervals.I wrote a simple program that counted 10 seconds several ways:
Interval=1, Count=10000, Run time = 160 sec, msec per interval=16
Interval=10, Count=1000, Run time = 16 sec, msec per interval=15
Interval=100, Count=100, Run time = 11 sec, msec per interval=110
Interval=1000, Count=10, Run time = 10 sec, msec per interval=1000
It seems like System.Timers.Timer() cannot tick faster that about 15 msec, regardless of the interval setting.Note that none of these tests seemed to use any measurable CPU time, so the limit is not the CPU, just a .net limitation (bug?)For now I think I can live with an inaccurate timer that triggers a routine every 15 msec or so and the routine gets an accurate system time. Kinda strange, but...I also found a shareware product ZylTimer.NET that claims to be a much more accurate .net timer (resolution of 1-2 msec). This may be what I need. If there is one product there are likely others.
I have a timer on a page in ASP.NET.
After a certain period of time elapses, I want to disable the timer.
I want to put a static variable in the timers tick event that will track how many seconds have elapsed.
My question is, will this work?
If user X and Y are viewing the page will they both have separate local static variables?
What is the best method of shutting down an ASP.NET timer after a certain elapsed time?
I have a windows application that need to process som quite time consuming jobs. In my first try i did all processing under
the form thread. The result was bad response and update of the form due to the heavy jobs.To get around the problem with bad response from the form i created a new class "processing" where i put all the data processing. Then i instanciated a background worker where i in the "doWork" sub created a new instance of "processing".The "processing" class creates a timer from system.timer, and the timer drives the processing.On the Timer event Elapsed the timer starts a new thread from the thread pool.
My problem is now when i want to asynchronously close the background worker (with the corresponding function call what ever it is called ...) there is still a timer thread out there that causes exceptions for me.
1. How can i close my background worker and at the same time have the timer to be stopped?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the timer event so that the timer executes from the background worker thread?
3. Is there a better approach for me to adapt?
I want to create an array of timer in vb.net. My problem is that how will i raise the tick event for a particular timer, say mytimer(x).tick and inside the tick event there is also a button, say mybutton(x) which changes location every interval. for example:
public class blah
dim mybuttons(20) as button
dim mytimer(20) as timer
private sub form_load(....) handles me.load
for x as integer = 0 to 20
[Code]...
i dont know what to do next, all i want is to pass the button mybuttons(x) to mytimer(x) tick event, in which their index number are the same. i want to create one timer per button. how to do that? please help me and post example codes. i've researched the net but i cant understand passing variables, addhandlers, etc. i'm just new to programming object oriented.
