I'm developing a forms application with VB2010; and I'd like to be able to freeze the screen / form while the code populates the form for display on the screen. Then unfreeze the screen when the form is populated, to display the populated screen text; in a similar way to the VBA commands Application.ScreenUpdating = False and then Application.ScreenUpdating = True.
View 2 RepliesIs there something like VBA's ScreenUpdating=Off in VB.Net? I mean, I want to manage the underlying data and wish it would not reflect on the screen until the end.
View 7 Repliesi've been stuck on this for a while and searched many forums first with no solution so i'm posting myself. In VB for excel i've used Screenupdating= false to disable the screen updating however now i'm creating a visual studio 2010 windows forms application and its not showing up as a property. [code] And i get the error 'screenupdating is not a member of 'system.windows.forms.application'.

I have made a simple vb application and have used vb 2010 to create it, which all of you would know, uses .NET Framework 4.0. I wanted to use this application at work, however, I found out that my work uses .NET framework 3.5 sp1.
So my question is, is there a way to compile something in VB 2010 that will work on .NET 3.5 sp1? If so, how?

View 1 RepliesSo I'm developing an application in VB2010. The idea is to perform CRUD operations (more or less) to an Access2003 Database. The database is relational, yet I haven't grasped the best architecture to make an application to interact with it. I tough doing a Business layer with a domain model would work. Controllers for each Use case (which are basically CRUD operations) would create Domain Layer object. Yet I don't know yet how to manage the mapping of the objects to/from the database.

View 6 RepliesI know that AndAlso is equivalent to && and OrElse is equivalent to ||. But what is the cleanest way to achieve the equivalent of Visual Basic's And and Or in C#?For example, consider the following VB.NET code.The ValidateForControl method performs some validation and returns whether the state of the specified control is valid. The entire input form is valid if all controls are valid. However, each control must be individually validated even if one is invalid (which requires the operator not to short-circuit). Visual Basic's And operator is perfect for this situation, but unfortunately there's no equivalent operator in C# as far as I know (&& short-circuits).

What I am trying to do is to check if a value matches one of two numbers (and easily be able to add to the numbers to compare to). Rather than doing a longer-winded way such as: [Code] I have found that this only works when SectionID is 2 or PageID is 8. If SectionID is 3 or PageID is 12 then it doesn't work.
