I've got a number of buttons in an 8x8 grid named cmd_A1, cmd_A2, etc all the way to cmd_H8.
I want to have a string that contains the name of a particular button, and then use that string to access a particular button.
1) Dim button_string as string = "cmd_A1"
2) Dim current_button as button = [the button named in button_string]
3) current_button.text = "♖"
How do I do step 2?
How do I set button1.image to the image resource named in a string?
if my_string = "image1" then
button1.image = my.resources.image1
else if my_string = "image2" then
button1.image = "image2"
...
else if my_string = "image30" then
button1.image = "image30"
end if
Is there an easier way to do this?
I'm working on converting an Excel VBA project to a VB.net Office Solution. In VBA accessing a named range within a sheet was pretty easy.Sheet1.Range("NamedRange")would give you the value in that cell.
In VB.net I've tried several different things, all ending in failure. [url]...
I'm using one of the Visual Studio Excel 2010 Document template, and I managed to set a value in a named range on a sheet. The template creates a class for each tab on the worksheet, so I was able to do this.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a table in an Access database named 'tblSubscriptions'. I need to check wether a user with a certain user id has any subscriptions but im not sure how i would go about it. The fields within the tblSubscriptions table are: User ID, Topic Code, Completed I'm assuming i'd need to use the following command: OleDbCommand("SELECT 'Topic Code' FROM tblSubscriptions WHERE 'User ID' = '" & Username)But i wouldn't know how to use an if statement to check whether the user has any subscriptions.

View 1 RepliesScenario: FormA has a DataGridView with a DataTable as it's DataSource. The DefaultView of the DataTable is set to a particular filter, say "UnitFreight < 2.00". The user selects multiple rows then selects a context menu item to open up form2. Form2 does a bunch of stuff and in this example it will change the UnitFreight value in the selected rows on form1 to say 2.27. It also raises an event in form1 to adjust attribute cells such as UnitPrice.
The issue is that doing the above example puts the selected rows out of the range of the applied filter and I believe this is the issue because I end up getting a "Column named UnitPrice cannot be found" error. This is happening during the update of those attribute columns. I'm guessing the row has been filtered out so there's no column to be found. If I do the update without the filter applied it works fine. So my question is, what's the best approach to updating the data in this situation. I've started converting the updates to work against the DataTable directly instead of the DataGridView.

View 2 RepliesHow can I get the text in a text area within a form in browser control? Is there a method?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to access a secured website using vb 2005 and webbrowser control. I've got the credentials, the script can pass the login page but when trying to navigate to the second page within, the page is being redirected back(to the first page after logging in). The second page I'm trying to get to retrieves the data from a database and displays some options for the user to select in order to prepare a report which can be downloaded after the fields selections. And I wanted my script to do this automatically without user interaction.

View 2 RepliesLets say I have a combo box that contains the values "alpha", "bravo", "charlie", etc.
When the user selects a value from the combo box, then that value will be written to a string variable, like...
Dim ComboSelection As String = combobox1.SelectedValue
Now, lets say I have a bunch of panels on my form, which have names corresponding to each combo box value. For example...
pnl_alpha
pnl_bravo
pnl_charlie
etc etc.
So what I would like to do is use the value of ComboSelection to access the appropriate panel (instead of using conditional statements or select case statements).
For example, whichever value the user selects from the combo box, I want to change the corresponding panel's background color to blue. So in the combo box's click event, I want to do something like this...
Dim ComboSelection As String = combobox1.SelectedValue
Dim PanelName As String = "pnl_" & ComboSelection
PanelName.BackColor = Color.Blue
Is it possible to do something like this? Again, I realize that I could easily use conditional statements to accomplish this task, but I am curious if it is possible to do it this way instead, as I would have many uses for this functionality.

I want to create program in vb2008 express with ms access database. Can somebody help me so i can learn how to program using classes hard coded. I have learned vb6 before but it has a big difference on vb2008.

EMPLOYEE(EmpNo, EmpName), DEPARTMENT(DeptID, DeptName), CATEGORY(CategoryID, CategoryName), SUPPLIER(SupplierID, SupplierName), ITEM(ItemID, Itemname), ITEMLIST(ItemListID, ItemID, ItemDescription), INVENTORY

All the CAPITALIZED name are Table and all items inside the parenthesis are fieldnames. I don't know where to start on working on this RECORDS. I was able to understand visual basic 6 a bit, and i am trying to apply the coding to VB 2008 but all i get is errors. I am hopeless now and i need help to be able to start my programs. If someone can give me a sample code, i think i would be able to trace the line of code to be able to understand it. I am currently an inventory manager on the small company i was working with and i like to organize my record by using database.
I have a program in VB.NET 2005. At some point I have to open an Access2003-Application for getting data in it. I do that by pretending my program is a human user and let it do all the work in Access as a human user would do. Filling Fields, pressing buttons etc. I use the Primary Interop Assemblies for that. So far so good. That code is in use for over half a year now. In the last week I got Office 2007 installed on my machine. Of course I tested the installed version of my program if everthing still works. Every test was succesfull. But if I do the same tests in Visual Studio it always crashes.
All I get is this Errormessage: {"Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" umgewandelt werden.

I have two Access database, say database One.mdb and Two.mdb. I want to use VB2005 to export tblCustomer from One.mdb to Two.mdb, and replace the existing tblCustomer in Two.mdb, during run time. I basically want to simulate the export function that is available in MS Access (which can export one table from one Access database to another) with VB2005 during run time. I can think of a way by querying the table to a dataset and then delete everything on the other database before filling the table in that database with the dataset. However, there should be something simpler and faster than that, shouldn't it? Any idea?
