VS 2008 Looking For A VB2008 Book Explaining Controls?
Jul 8, 2009
I've recently decided to switch from VB6 to VB2008 and am looking for some advice for a certain type of book I seek.Already I've aquired several VB2008 books, but the type of reference book I'm seeking I can't find.For VB6 I have a book called "The visual guide to visual basic". It's a very very very very old book but its gold, platinum and diamonds in one.This book basically takes ALL controls, commands, etc, and in alphabetical order as a sort of encyclopedia, explains its purposes, possibilities, properties together with many examples.
If I was uncertain about a control or command I could simply look it up in this book and almost always find what I was looking for.My question, does anybody know of an equivalent for VB2008?

I am writing a simple Address Book Application using Typed Dataset & Bound Controls. 1<sup>st</sup> Form for Entering Addresses 2<sup>nd</sup> Form for Adding New 'CITY'. To select a city for address I am using a data bound combo box which shows a list of Cities.
While entering with a address if user found the required City Name is not found in the Combo list, he opens a 2<sup>nd</sup> Form to Add a City name to database & returns to Form1.
Here the expected newly added city doesn't appear in the combo list, so I tried to Refill the underlying table with following code

What is happening is after dropping a few controls onto a new windows form. I have found that for no apparent reason some of the controls just go missing. As of this post i just dragged a group box with a half dozen labels buttons and textboxes off to the bottom of the designer. I went to move them back up and found that i had lost 2 labels and 2 textboxes! Doing a clean build gives no errors. Windows still thinks they are on the form.

I am rather irritated at this. I have no clue why looping through controls on a form and in groupboxes leaves out 75% of the controls.
Here's the code I have:
Dim settings As String = ""
Dim gbControl As Control
Dim gbbox As Control
[Code]....
I want to have setting save all settings to an ini file, and not have to reprogram the saving routine when I add a group box or control. At random times, any number of controls can be disabled, checkboxes can be checked and unchecked, radiobuttons can be checked and unchecked. Regardless of the state of the control, I want the control to show up in the loop. But they don't. Only controls that are enabled and only checkboxes that are checked, every other control state is ignored. That's crap, and is definitely not what is needed by any programmer of any type. We're capable of determining if a control is enabled, hidden, checked, visible, and otherwise.
How do I get the controls to be included in the loop regardless of their state?

I am coding a program and I want to add an option of moving 2D map (using the mouse to move the map left, right, up and down). when I say to move a map is not moving a window. I want actually to move the map itself, for example "google maps".

Okay so I have decided to upgrade my game from vb5 to vb2008 express edition. When I opened it I was told it needed to be converted so I said ok. However, there are some things in the language syntax that have changed.Obviously. Well here is one of them:
[Code]...
Setting controls to objects allowed me to cut down on typing but it seems you are not allowed to reference things without the "full path". I understand that you now have to set the full path of the object but doesn't setting something to an object already do that? Do I have to just delete the object references on the top and instead of using objCmbGraveU2 I now need to replace it with frmMain.cmbGraveU2?

This timer code is for VB6 and worked fine, It's to change the timer seconds into minutes, I'm not sure how to make this work for 2008 though.
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Interval = 1000 ' set timer to 1 sec intervals.
Timer1.Enabled = False ' timer is off
End Sub
[code]....
the errors are...
Error1Name 'StartTime' is not declared.
Error2Name 'MinutesToWait' is not declared.

I am new to SQLSever, Visual Studio and Visual Basic. I have read through Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 by Michael Halvorson and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 by Lars Powers and Mike Snell. These books mention the ability to use SQLServer as the DB but I am not clear on the process. I am not knew to programming an have had training in OO programming but have never done any OO programing professionally. So, you can assume I am new to OO programing.
I have created an SQL DB using the Server Explorer in VS, and created a Windows form with Labels, TextBoxes, and ComboBoxes for the application's user to add the demographic information about a new employee. I created a new query with the Query builder that is in the Employee table of the DB which contains all the field for the record for inserting. I have a few questions to understand the process for inserting into the DB.
The DB fields are defined as numeric(6, 0), nurmeric(5, 2), and char(30) for some examples.
The maxlength on the form windows are in sync with the maxlength of the DB for the various fields.
1. What is the process to update the DB with the fields from the form?
2. Do I need to declare and set the results from the form first? If so, how do I call the function (query) that I created in the Employee table.
3. The emp_num I would like to be a dynamically incrementing number starting from 1000. How do I make this a dynamic? The emp_num is also the key on the Employee table.
4. I have a decimal field on the Employee table to hold emp_rate (pay rate). Does the user enter the decimal on the Form or is this resolved by SQL to take the 7 numbers and insert the decimal beause of the table's field definition?
