Im quite new to VB.Net so, this is what i have. A simple "console" form. Its just a form with a ListBox in it. To add stuff to the ListBox, i have to open the console, to let other forms know what the ListBox there is.

I have a datagridview on a form and this shows up my list of suppliers. I have a textbox which when i click shows up the supplier list and from there when i double click on a row, the supplier's name is shown in the textbox. The thing is i have to do same on the same page for search purposes which got its own textbox. But the cell double-click event already contains code that will display it in some other textbox like i mentioned previously. What i thought is to make another form with a datagridview. So this datagridview will be used to display the supplier's name in search textbox. But what if i have to access this form several times. Do i have to create several forms everytime?
View 7 RepliesI'm having a strange difficulty. Here is the order of events:User presses button on form1 New Form object is created for from 2 New form object '.show' command is fired Form 2 opens correctly In the Load Event of Form 2, the form attempts to do various things in a try, catch, finally clause On catch, I close form2 down '.close' as it cannot be used as something has gone wrong with the execution However, my problem is this. It is acceptable for things to go wrong on the from 2 load event which is why I have implemented the try - catch functionality. However, when I close the form2 down as a result of the problem, a real error ocurrs 'Cannot access a disposed object' and the VB IDE refers me to Form1's '.show' event for Form2.
It is almost as if the form hasn't fully 'shown' before I am closing it down. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is here? Do I need to close down Form2 ourside of it's Load event handler so that Form1 thinks it has loaded correctly?
I'm writing a really simple file updater which downloads files off from a website and saves them. The download routine is working well, except that it freezes the project while attempting to connect to the host. Easily solved with threading except now when I try to access other form items such as text boxes, labels, form caption, it says I am not doing it in a safe manner and prompts an interrupt in debug. I did some reading on it and I'm still not sure what to do, I'm very new to vbnet and it is still a little confusing to me.

I have a program I've been working on for some time now and I'd like to try to streamline it somewhat. I have a main menu form that has a split panel, in the left panel is a treeview that displays forms you can open and when one is selected, it opens in a child window in the right panel. Each time I open form I called DWNForm, it does a series of dataset loads which are the populating items for a series of listviews.
What I would like to do is have these datasets load once during the mainMenu load and then have the DWNForm be able to access the datasets once it is called from the treeview selection.
I have an array of variables called VolumeArray(12) which is declared as publlic shared in the main form1.I have a second form2 which allows the user to input various values. When this form2 is closed, I need the data the user has entered to update the values for VolumeArray(12) within Form1.

I have a form where I open an Access database with 3 tables. I have defined datasets and dataviews for these three tables in the main form. I want to open a new form and access and update the tables using the dataviews I've already defined. When I try to access a record from the dataview using the new form, it's not defined. Can I pass the data between forms or do I need to redefine it in the new form? This is the first time I've tried to use multiple forms.

View 1 RepliesI'm using visual basic 2008. I am done coding the CRUD... but i want it to have confirmation first. Then, i tried using panel, it works. but, my interface looks not organize. Is it possible to access the values in the text boxes from the other form?
For example: the client's information text box are on the form1 and once add button is click, the confirmation box will pop out. and the pop out box is in the form2. Is it possible to access the form1 text boxes from the form2?
Basically what I need to do is change a textbox on Form1 (AKA mainwin) from Form2 (AKA loginwin) using data that is inputted into Form2. I've done this before with applications by declaring Form1 in Form2, but this time I just get a NullReferenceException error. Here's the code I'm currently using for Form2. Maybe someone here can tell me why it's not working. [Code] I can't figure out why it's not working. I've used this same method before and it always worked.

My problem is that I have a program which needs to access images for multiple choice questions, hundreds of them. Now when I publish the program it is not taking the images with it. I have read some information by 'kleinma' regarding publishing and he says to right click on the Bin and click include in project, but when I do this there is no command in the menu for this.
I have included all of my image files in the Bin and have also added them using the resource editor, but to no avail As I have indicated it is the Express edition, could this make a difference

i have a function that i have in my data access class now i want to access it then declare and assign parameters and then insert data into database.
I have a "windows form" user control--that is, not on a web page etc. This user control has a form within the user control project. However, code from within the user control can't 'see' the form even though it is a public class---I don't understand why this is the case.
So how can I access the controls (a couple of radio buttons) on the form from code within the user control? I tried creating public properties on the form to return the state of the radiobuttons, but this still doesn't work. I get a "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." error
Should I not be able to see the form since it is a public class?
When I try to access the controls of a form which is not yet created (i.e. to modify the contents of a text box , to press a button etc) , I fail , usually without even an error message . I found out that the only way to make my program go right is to take care that the form is first created before I try to access anything on that form . However this means I must use the Show method to create it and then to Hide it , which leads to an instant awful optical effect . I remember back in VB6 there wasn't such a problem ; it seems that in VB6 each time I accessed a control on a not-created form led to the form being created silently . Is there any way I could do that in .NET too in order to access my precious controls ?
View 15 RepliesI am trying to follow this userguide url... to basically build an application that will allow users to connect to my database, from an exe file. I'll try to explain as best i can. The plan is, users will launch an exe file that i have built in Visual Basic(VB) 2010 Express. When they launch the application they will see a 'login screen'.I am following the example guide (see link above), and will customise it once i can connect to the database. For some reason whenever i connect to the database it gives me two errors, the first is if i use the 'debug' mode in VB to test the script (note it doesn't produce any build errors), the second is if i build the application and run it as my users would.
1)Error Connecting to Database:Access denied for user 'mike'@'92.**.**.***' (using password:YES)
2)Error Connecting to Database:Unable to access any of the specified MySQL hosts..The ip address starred out (*) is my local machine ip address.The server is the server in which my Database runs on. 'mike' is a listed user on my 'user' table, the password i use is the password assigned to this user on my table.
3)I've rebuilt the whole VB project, but still no joy, wern't expecting it to as there were no errors generated.
4) I've read, but don't really understand that it could be something to do with my database not being able to be controlled remotely, only locally. I started digging into 'Access Your MySQL Server Remotely Over SSH', didn't really know if i was going completely off the mark, it didn't mention needing to do any of this in the guide i've been following, but just a thought. It might be the case as i've tried to access my database through a programme called MySQL Administrator. I punch in the host,username etc and connect to my database, for some reason it won't allow me to add new users, could this be because i can't control my database remotely? Would this stop what i'm trying to do working?
5) When trying to install the MySQL.Data.dll file i had great difficulty in choosing one and finding it, adding it to my project using the 'Add reference' in VB. Finnally got it how it should be (i think), installed MySQL.Data.dll Ver 6.1.2.0 into my project.
