VS 2008 Type Of Forms To Use?
Dec 26, 2011
When opening new windows (forms) in my apps, I have opened then with ShowDialog because I wanted them to have full focus. I want to do the same again but I want to be able to minimize the whole app by the first window which is maximized.
For example, when I start the app, I have the main window which is the background to the program. Then as I open new windows in it, I want them to have full focus but still be able to minimize the entire app when needed. Is this possible? If so, how do I open the new windows from the main one?

I have a panel with some controls in it (several textboxes, a slider, 2 buttons, and a small groupbox).. When I click a button, I want all of the textboxes within the panel to be readonly... So I have this code: [code] When I run it though, I get the following error:Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.Button' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox'.If I remove a button, it moves on to give me the same error but for a label..

I'm getting the error "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid."here's the line generating the error.
dtReady.Value = dSet.Tables("Db").Rows(Inc).Item("Fixed_Date")
I'm using a date/time picker control and sending the db value to it. I know that the value is null, but I don't understand why the Picker can't be blank. Is there a way to let it be blank? Or should I set up a way to check for nulls and assign today's date or something just in case?

[URL]The issue is as soon as I change the value of the text boxes it gives me an error and forces me to close the project.
The error is:Unable to cast object of type 'System.EventArgs' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs'.
However I'm supposed to clear the number of gallons used and the total charged when a change is made to the contents of the 2 text boxes on the form.

I'm creating a login system with ASP.NET and VB.NET, and I have the webpage read a MySQL database for a table with the usernames and passwords. In the 1st column is an auto-incrementing id number, 2nd is their username, and 3rd is the password. Here's the code I have for searching through the table (which is a GridView named "logintable"), but I get the error "Conversion from type 'GridViewRow' to type 'Integer' is not valid.

I am importing an Excel spreadsheet, turning it into a dataset and inserting the results into SQL Server (only 100 rows).
I am having an issue with one of the date columns in Excel, which can have a value or not. The "F" column is the one that may be blank and this is the error I get: Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.
How can I add a check to the Dim F As Date = CDate(row(5)) to handle a null?

I have a project with 7 forms. I wanted to change the startup form for testing, but in the project properties application tab under startup form, only 3 of my forms show up as available. So I manually edited the Application.myapp file and changed the MainForm tag to frmSearch. I checked the property pages and now frmSearch is listed in the dropdown, and it is selected.
Run I compile I get an error:
Error 1 'frmSearch' is a type in 'MyTestApp' and cannot be used as an expression. C:Documents and Settings...My ProjectApplication.Designer.vb 35 27 MyTestApp
frmSearch is a form, just like other forms that work as the startup form.

My app has a group of forms that do a specific work in different ways. I want to create a new variable of a form when I want with its name. So, I want a Function in this form :
Public Function GetNew (byref f as form ) as form
That give a form name and return a variable of that type. In other words, it must work as "dim f1 as new formx".

I have defined 5 variables T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 As Double and set them all = 0. On a form I have a enter information button. Each time the button is pressed I want to assign a different variable, to a text box input. For instance, If I enter 1 that will become T1, and then if I enter 2 and press the button again, that value becomes T2.
I have tried
If T1 = 0 then
T1 = textbox.text
End if
If T1<>0 And T2 = 0 then
T2 = textbox.text
End if
I have tried to use 'else' statements and all kinds of things like that to no avail. I can get the first two variables correctly assigned but three is impossible with my current understanding. Is there a way to do this, or do I need 5 buttons, so that I can control which variable is assigned? To be correct my intent is to create an observation with three variables each time the button is pressed.
For example, the first button press will result in three variables being assigned a value other than 0; they are T1, B1, and R1. I have just begun to understand the concept of arrays and am wondering if that may be the way to go in this situation. I was just going at this in a newbie way I'm sure and trying to handle each variable type individually, and figure out all the T* variables and move onto the B* variables.

I've just finished creating a basic login system which enables you to create an account and select either a "Student" or "Teacher" account.
Once the account is created it's stored in an Access 2007 database. The field the account type gets stored in is called AccountType. When users log in with their unique username and password I want the program to take them to a different form depending on whether they have a student or teacher account.
