I cannot move objects (such as buttons, listboxes, etc) in the Windows Forms Designer by clicking and dragging them with my mouse. This gets really annoying after a while. However, I can move them with the key pad (up down left right) and by changing the location property. Does anyone know what is going on?
Oh and I'm running vista with all the service packs and latest updates, and I don't have any viruses (scanned with MBAM, Spybot and Avast)
I have added a database to my project, but there is an error unable to open module fcomdataset.designer.vb
i know it's cheeky but is there anything wrong with the setup/layout of the designer. Are there other reasons why the form woudn't be able to open? (My pc is pretty low spec, i'm waiting for a RAM upgrade)

I have been scouring for examples to give me some idea on what I need to do to create a skinable scrollbar. The only thing close that seems to work like I need is Cool Scrollbar The problem I am running into is on the designer...when I move it, resize it, or change the direction of the control (ScrollbarLayout), it seems to want to re-name the class the item is an object of from CBar to cbar.CBar. Once I position and align it properly to check, I can go through the Form1.Designer and simply remove the cbar. and get no errors. When I run the program, it is fine, so this is telling me that there is something wrong with the movement in the class...
I am working in Visual Studio with a solution containing multiple projects. The solution is based on a co-worker's computer. I am trying to build the project, I get the following error:
Error 17 Unable to open module file 'C:DocumentsVisual Studio 2010Projects ReportCreatorMy ProjectApplication.Designer.vb': The system cannot find the file specified. C:DocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsBlahBlahBlahReportCreatorMy ProjectApplication.Designer.vb 1 1 ReportCreator
It is on my co-worker's computer, but I don't see it in source control. He has ReportCreator checked out. How do I create Application.Designer.vb?
I am extremely new to VB but i have most of the basics down fairly well. I can create buttons and move objects with arrow keys, for example. I am using VB Express Edition 2008. What I am trying to do is make a very basic game. So far it was going great until a little problem stumped me [see title to see where i am going with this]. Before i added buttons onto the form i was able to move my little circle man with the arrow keys up, down, left and right. When i added buttons it no longer allowed me to do such things. Now moving the arrow keys only allows me to select buttons without the mouse. It is really frustrating because i have been working very hard on this and a problem this small could ruin everything! ;)
I was wondering if there is a way to move objects with arrow keys and use buttons on the same form and if so, how do you do it?
Im trying to make a radiobutton move diagonaly, (Dont ask why a radiobutton, i did it in college last week) For some strange reason though I need another radiobutton just going across the screen in order for my diagonal radiobutton to move.I would like to develop this into a game like pong, when I have gone further into VB.
Public Class Car Dim CarState As Integer Dim CarPicture As New PictureBox
Public Sub DriveIn() 'This sub to drive in the car to the lot. CarState = 1 Dim x As Integer For x = 1 To 45 If x <= 12 Then CarPicture.Top -= 3 Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
[CODE]...
Then i tried to instanciate many objects of this calss to move more than one car as follows:Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnDrive_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDrive.Click 'Dim objCar As New Car() Dim objCar As Car objCar = New Car objCar.DriveIn() End Sub
I know that by clicking before an object is finished moving, causes the object to move again, prematurely. I have tried using "If Timer2.Enabled = False Then move. This does not work. Is there another way to disable either the mouse or program execution until the animation objects are finished moving?
I have a user control that inherits the FW ListView and I need to dispose of two objects when the form's disposing of it's objects. Here's what I've concluded already, am I on the right track?
My self and most everyone else on our team is having the same issue with VS2008. The designer will not render many forms in designer mode. Currently I am getting this error "The type 'Team.CAD.UI.My.Resources.Resources' has not property named 'view_16'" Well veiw_16 is in the resouces file.
If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
I am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?
So I am trying to make a program that allows you to move two shapes using two KeyPress events, one to move the first object and another for the second. It works, but it can only move one of the two objects, not both at the same time.
What does this error mean? I havent modified anything in the designer code, but its giving me an error? WithEvents variable 'Move' conflicts with event 'Move' in the base class 'Control' and should be declared 'Shadows'. The error relates to Friend WithEvents Move As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn
I have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.
I guess I must accept the fact that it takes time to understand the programming environment. Information is available, but mostly fragmented. The solutions seem simple and obvious, once one has succeeded in finding them, but the way get an understanding of their simplicity can be hard.I am now working since weeks on a control class and I don't seem to get it right. When the code executes in RunTime, it executes correctly, but when I open the designer, the control location is changed to Point(0, 0).
I've started a project in Expression Blend and has been working the codes in Visual Studio 2008. It was alright, no problem. I've worked heaps of projects like that before without any problems. However, out of nowhere, my WPF designer in VS2008 now gives me the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at MS.Internal.Package.VSIsolationProviderService.CreateIsolationProvider(String identity, AssemblyReferenceProvider assemblyReferences, IEnumerable'1 assemblyFolders) at MS.Internal.Providers.VSDesignerContext.GetIsolationProvider(IServiceProvider provider, [Code] .....
It displays the above instead of displaying the WPF designer. Also, I cannot Debug>Start Debugging the application anymore. I can still run/test/build it in Expression studio though. The funny thing is that if I restart a project in Expression blend, copy all the xaml codes, and copy all the vb .net codes from the original application, it works for some time, and then afterwards start giving me the same error at wpf designer in VS2008.
I would like to know where the dataset designer is obtained for a vb.net 2008 appliocation I need to work on. Is this part of the initial install for visual studio.net 2008. If so, what part of the initial install will I find the dataset designer? Is this a plugin that needs to be downloaded? if so, what URL do I need to use to obtain the plugin?
Is it possible to Create buttons outside of the designer (at run time) but not just create the buttons add there click events e.g in a save menu on a game it creates a "button" with custom code to that button if anyone gets me?
My project gets rather big. Now sometimes when loading the design file I get this error. But the project compiles without any problems and runs fine. Some one any idea where to start or what to do?
I copy/paste controls in the projects, then I noticed that there are many controls are listed in designer.vb which actually are not being used. how can I clean these? will it affect the UI performance? or, it does nto matter at all
