I'm not trying to do ASP.NET using VB.NET applications on the desktop. I want to create a desktop application that the user can enter information and retrieve information form a interface that is styled by html, css and java script. I'm NOT trying to interact with a web page at all, i simply want to make the desktop app look and act like a web app because a similar application will be available on the web this will just be like an offline version of it.
my VB.Net desktop app writes to an Excel file. I need to set the style to a row. I can read a style of one row, but am unable to set the style in another.
I am writing a desktop application using vb.net. In that application one screen needs the web information.We need to get the info from webpage - display as it is on web. whenever the page refreshed or changed the content that should reflect on desktop application also.
how i can change the native scrollbar style in my application to my custom style. I can adopt a custom scrollbar to attain this purpose but this will not serve my purpose because i want this attribute in entire application. Like it the text in textbox gets longer than its bounds than the scrollbar appers are my custom bar not the formal ones
We have a Windows Forms VB.NET application running on Windows Server 2008. Users access this app using Remote desktop.The app displays information in Excel, but Excel opens on the server.Is there a way for the .NET app to launch Excel on the users local desktop?

I would like to set a style for an MDI WinForms application in .NET (mix of C# and VB.NET). I would like all panels and forms to be of a certain color. I would like textboxes to be of a certain color when readonly and of a different color when NOT readonly. I don't want to use defaults. Any pointers on how I can make this GLOBAL for any Form that is developed for this application? Am looking for a way so I don't have to do this logic in every form I create.
PREFERABLY: Don't want to switch to using any third-party tools. Would like to stick with just WinForms and standard .NET libraries.
Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory. Is there any means for the application to know the distinct name of the shortcut that was doubled_clicked. Also is there any means for a running application to know if it was started by command line, by a double_click on the exe, by a double_click on a shortcut that points to it, or by another process' call?
I am trying to use Setup project. Want my setup to create a desktop shortcut with my application.I donot understand how to do it. Clicked on User's desktop, I created Shortcut to User's desktop, changed the properties Target and Working Folder as 'Application Folder'But it does not connect with MyApplication.exe When I ran the setup and tested Desktop short cut, it took me to the folder where application was installed, instead of running the application.How to make the application run using this shortcut?
Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver.That is working, so, so far so good.My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.
I have an application that is written in VB.NET, using the System.Windows.Forms.Form as the front-end GUI. It runs perfectly on my Windows machine however recently there is a business requirement to convert this application to run as a web application so that people could view them in their blackberries when they go to the URL. Is there any quick way to perform such a conversion or I will have to translate the code line-by-line for such cases?
I am making a html application and would like to make an ftp as a folder for the html you are writing, similar to that of visual basic's solution explorer. eg. images wont show from the index location, basicaly something allong the slines of a local ftp / solution explorer is needed desparatley.
the system is going to have two front-ends - one web application and one desktop application.The desktop application is going to be coded using VB.NET, and the web application in PHP. There's really no reason why the desktop application can't be replaced by a web application as well - except that one of the programmers seem to really want to code it in VB...However none of us have experience working with either of these pairs .
P.S. hosting service will be gotten from some provider and not be on the client's own server.
I am making an application that will be used to communicate with others like a shut box but not a chat box so like one or two people can post up something in this application and other users can then see this message.
I'm using VB 2005 .NET and I wanted to make my applications look better.I found lots and lots of applications for win XP that look like Vista.For example like Windows Live Messenger.
I am learning VB at the moment and i'm planning how i'm going to make a simple quiz style web application. I want to have a series of questions, one per panel, that a user can select from multiple choice and proceed to next question with at least one option needing to be selected before going to the next question. At the end users get their score out of X.
Forgetting the validation and other bits i need. My thinking is to use a series of panels that have my questions in, so one panel per question, and by default they are all set no invisible bar the first question. Then as the user selects the question the next panel is revealed and the previous hidden, and so on etc.
I am new to Viisual Basic 2008 and looking for some help or suggestions on what is the best way to handle a spreadsheet style data entery in an application.What is the best way to have data entry on a form that is in the style of a spreadsheet?I have tried it with the Gridview but I do not care for the interface style.I would like to be able to multiple columns under one heading, allow for tabbing from entry field to entry field on a row and have the ability to sort by different columns,to allow for calculations by fiedls in a row (havoing multiple calculations, etc.Is there something in VB 2005/2008 that will allow that or is there a third party add-on that is recommended.
I set the cell style progromatically on a condition.. but when that condition is no longer met I want to go back to the grids.cell original (default) style property
if x=y then row.Cells(column.Name.ToString).Style.ApplyStyle(mystyle) else
I would like to come up with a simple application that would add a specific phrase into a specific location on a desktop application. I assume this isn't very hard, but I'm kind of new.
