User Interface Choice For Managing An "orders" Table?

Mar 17, 2011

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.

Design - Company --> Customer --> Orders (ignore The Details Of How The Orders Have Products Etc)

Mar 9, 2009

I have a scenario at hand which has some design discussion going on. To break it down in simple words, think about a hierarchy as such Company -----> Customer ------> Orders (ignore the details of how the orders have products etc) if I was to expose an API to work with this, what would be a better design.

a)
Dim comp As New Company
comp.GetInfo(123)
Dim cust As New Customer
cust.Name= "CustomerName"
comp.Add( cust)


b)
Dim custhand As Customerhandler
Dim cust As New Customer
cust.Name= "CustomerName"
custhand.AddCustomer(cust,123) ''123 is CompanyID

Custom User Controls - Correct Size With User Choice

Sep 27, 2011

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.

Sql - How To Insert Customer Details Into Orders Table

May 4, 2012

I've got 6 hours left to finish a uni project. It's a basic database driven e-commerce site. I have a home page, a products page, an orders page, an order confirm page, a shopping cart page and a view current orders page. The site uses an Access database with three tables. A Customer table, with all of the customer details, (FirstName, LastName, EmailAdd, CardNo, CardEx, SortCode, DeliveryAdd, Postcode) A Products table, with all the product information, (ProductID, ProductName, Price, ProductType, Images, ProductDescription). And an Orders table which contains CustomerID and ProductID. I'm trying to create an INSERT statement on the orders page so that when the customer inserts their details and presses the submit button the customers table will have a new record inserted. I also want this to create an entry in the orders table and redirect the client to the order confirm page which will display the details of the order. Here is my code which runs when the submit button is clicked on the order form. EDIT I've fixed the error with the missing apostrophe. Attempting to insert using two sql commands as I've been told that access databases can't handle two at once. Still getting an error though.

Protected Sub btnAddRecord_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim strFirstName As String

Customizing Obtaining User Choice

Jan 12, 2010

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()

[CODE]....

Detect User Choice During Run Time?

Sep 10, 2010

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?

VS 2008 TCP Server / Client - Client To Send The Server 4 Numbers - Depending On The User's Choice

how 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])
