VS 2008 Attempting To Add 2'nd Parent Node To Treeview?
Jan 18, 2011A form has a multi line textbox that is read line by line searching for "MSH". When found it adds that line as a parent to the treeview. each following line is added as a child. Works fine if only one "MSH" line but if more than 1 I get must clone or remove message. I did clone the message but I don't want a duplicate of what is there. I have tried several variations and have not been able to get the 2nd MSH to be added as a child but not parent.I have started to repeate code so was hoping some of you experts can point me in the correct direction. Here the section of code that partialy works.
Dim LoopK As Integer = 0

VS 2008 Odd Behaviour When Attempting To Activate A Form?
May 12, 2009I have a program where the main form is called (shown/activated) via a keystroke combination. When the form pops-up, I've set the focus to a textbox to begin typing right away.
When the keystroke event occurs, I have:Me.Activate()And in the Form_Activated event:
Textbox1.Focus() Simple right? It works the way I want it to, even after I've compiled and run the EXE, but ONLY if Visual Studio 2008 is running. Once I close my project in VS, with the program still running outside VS, the form is shown, but input focus is not set to the textbox.
Input focus is however still set to whatever it was previously, like a word document for example. My form will be topmost, but if I attempt to input text, it would still be entered into the word doc. why having my projects' source open in VS has anything to do with running the compiled EXE of said program?
I've even tried API calls to SetForegroundWindow and ShowWindow with the same result.

Checking For Duplicate Values Before Attempting Insert?
Apr 14, 2011I have a form where two fields on the first page of the form make up the primary key. I want to check for duplicate values before attempting to insert the record, since I don't want the user to go all the way through the form only to find out they can't submit it. So I'm trying to check for duplicate values when the user tries to go to the next page of the form. I wasn't quite sure how to do it, and sure enough I'm getting an error. ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") The problem is apparently in my if statement, "If myValue.Length > 0 Then", but I'm not sure what needs to be in place of that.

Determine Whether A Conversion Is Valid Before Attempting To Perform It
Aug 25, 2011I have the following subroutine:
[Code]...
The intention is that an event handler is set for any control added to the form, but only if it's a certain kind of control — determined by what its most-derived type is. Putting overarching design concerns aside for the time being, although this subroutine functions properly, when running the debugger the constant exceptions keep leaving messages in my "Immediate Window". It's annoying, and presumably throwing exceptions only to immediately re-catch them is wasteful.
Total Beginner Attempting To Make A Game
Jan 13, 2010I had this incredibly ambitious goal to make a video game and so I am teaching myself/relying on kindness and knowledge of others as I go along. So far I have learned a lot, however needless to say, this is a monstrously difficult challenge, however one that I am very passionate about completing. The idea is that I am making a trading card style game and I was hoping that I could continue to use this thread and your kindness to keep me going whenever nessecessary throughout this challenge.So, here is where I am now. (Please forgive me if i have posted too much details/not enough details. Since I am new, I am not sure what information you need to help me. This will be corrected as time goes by and I learn more)I have created a card class with two properties. name and picture with name As String, and picture as PictureBox. the constructor looks like this: [code]
My next goal(and where I am currently stuck) is making i so that when the user clicks on one of the items in the listbox, a picture of the appropriate card(saved in a pictureBox of its own on a different form, and referenced in the card via the picture element) will be placed inside the empty picture box on the deckPage.
1 Serialport 3 Forms - Currently Attempting To Use A Module In Vb 2010 Express?
Feb 26, 2012I 'm a beginner and have a project that I'm using to turn lights on and off. I need to use separate forms for display on remote monitors. My problem is each form needs the same serial port open to work and the port won't open unless it's closed in the previous form. Using a module works for opening and closing the port, but only for one round. If I try to revisit a form I already accessed it doesn't work.
Public Sub sp1(byval SerialPort1)If Form2.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form1.SerialPort1.Close() If Form3.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form3.SerialPort1.Close() Form1.SerialPort1.Open() end sub

Attempting To Create Shopping Cart Remove Button?
Mar 20, 2012Note: This code actually codes from a tutorial book I'm reading at the moment, so you can imagine this is frustrating me greatly! I'm building a basic shopping cart, using VB.NET 4, Visual Studio 2010 and MS SQL Server R2 2008. The code below is supposed to remove items from the cart, by reading a session variable, editing it to remove the appropriate ProductID and return the amending string to the session variable. It is then supposed to rebind the data to the gridview (gvCart) to refresh the data...but it seems here there is an error.
Every time I build the site in Visual Studio, it validates fine. But every time I run the site, and attempt to use the remove button it gives me the error:Incorrect syntax near ')'.ith the IDE pointing me toward the final parenthesis
Protected Sub gvCart_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles gvCart.SelectedIndexChanged

Process.Start Fails When Attempting To Redirect The Output
Nov 17, 2009I've been working on automating our build processes and wanted to come up with a painless way to run unit tests on a regular basis. To that end I've thrown together a simple app that examines the project files and prepares a list of solutions to test. The prototype works in that the tests are executed with the expected results, but as soon as I try to redirect my output the app bombs on the Process.Start call, complaining that a file could not be found.
I've tried several iterations on what I've seen done elsewhere, including several posts here, but I have yet to get this to work properly.
This works:

VS 2010 Attempting To Make Basic Client/Server?
Jan 6, 2011Im trying to make a basic Client/Server. The server can handle multiple clients and each client can send /recieve messages from the server.It works fine with just 1 client. but as soon as i connect with a second client. The first one no longer works. Anything sent from the first client is ignored by the server and when running the server in debug mode it gets errors from the client 1 stream.
Its as if the server will only hold one stream at a time and whenever another client joins the other streams are shut but the new client works fine. Even though i never close a stream.
[Code]...
Edit: FINALLY FOUND IT! Stupid mistake i forgot to put the ClientN variable up by one for each new client.So i was creating a new space in the array but erasing the first slot for the new client

Table Adapter InvalidCastException When Attempting To Update Through Column Headings
Feb 17, 2011As the title says, when I attempt to update a row in a table in a database, I recieve an InvalidCastException. I am unsure why, since the variables I am using should be, and indeed, when I check them at runtime, are filled with the correct data.
I am trying to update using the method wherein the row that is being updated is identified with all the variables already stored. Interestingly, Intellisense is telling me that EntryID, the primary key, is only necessary in it's original form, and that the variables that I am attempting to update have question marks after their type.
