VS 2010 - Creating StartMenu And Adding Stuff
Jun 17, 2011
I am looking to create a startmenu like thing in my game, I have my 'desktop' all sorted out but struggling to create a startmenu that I can easily add stuff to via code. For instance when the form starts it will check a directory for DLLS, query each dll which will return a name. I then need to populate this menu with the 'installed' applications my game has. I have a start equivalent button then I just need to the actual menu.

I want to create a variable that will hold bunch of stuff.
I will be using over 50 IF statements (it's a complicated number game) and the IF statements will be something like this.
If something = 1 then
' do this
' then do that

I'm creating a program for my workplace which stores hours worked, calculates pay and all that stuff.Problem being, the database will be accessed through the network and i want to be able to select the database from an openfile dialog on first use to locate the database. On every program start up it then would have the database location stored within the program itself.

I need to create multiple splitters, then getting that data and adding it into a DataGridView;
AAL1238:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:SEA;
AAL782:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9;
AAL1848:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL1360:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL1804:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL6796:KSEA:KLAX:13:830.785:;
The First Splitter will be a ':', then the next one will be a ;. Per each line up there, I need to add that content into a row into a datagridview, So if you were to look at the datagridview, It would look like that data above exactly, But separated into the correct columns.

In previous versions of VB Express, pressing F1 would get help related to specific highlighted terms,to Visual Basic. But in VB Express 2010 I'm finding it inevitably goes to some vague Visual Studio 2010 page.
Is there a setting I can change to get it to behave the useful way that previous versions did?Denise Moore ---- 2 HP a1730n Pavillion Desktops, AMD 64 X 2 5000+/5600+, 3072/2048 800MHz DDR2, 4 GB ReadyBoost, 320 GB HDD, Nvidia 6150LE, D-Link DGE-530T NIC, D-Link Green DGS-1005B router, VersaExpress ADSL, Win 7 Home Premium

I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.

I'm adding labels at runtime to my form with a tag. Let's say I have 3 labels with the tags, "1", "2" and "3". I'm adding the tags by counting the labels + 1. When I remove a label with tag "2" from the form there are only 2 left. When I add a new label it will add a new tag "3", but that one already exist. So my "solution" isn't a very good one Although tag "2" is free, I want to give it "4". Any thoughts on how to code this properly?

I have written a text editor for an assignment but I am struggling on where to start on this bit. What I Want To Happen:- When the user saves there work I want the name of the file to be shown next to the name of the program at the top left hand side of the form. I am not sure If I just need to create a simple sub routine for adding the name of the file then calling the method in the save as routine.

I am dynamically creating and adding a ComboBox to a specified column in DGV. I also set a DataSource, DisplayMember and ValueMember for the created ComboBox. Somewhere else in my program, I select a number ( let's say 5 ) and based on that number I want to change the SelectedIndex of the current ComboBoxColumn ( I actually loop through the Columns collection ).I tried something like this in a event handler I created:
vb.net
Private Sub combobox_validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim combobox As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox = sender
Dim colIndex As Integer = combobox.Tag
[code]....
You will notice here, that I'm not actually trying to change the .SelectedIndex property, but the Value of the current cell.How do I reference the actual ComboBox?

I have used this form to add new records on my database(ms access) in my database I have a column name 'ID' which is my primary key 'ID' is set as auto number. Now I am having a trouble on creating my update and delete button it's always saying "cannot be delete/update"
Here's my code on add, update and delete
Public Sub SaveRecord()
Try
Dim dbConn As OleDbConnection
Dim dbInsert As New OleDbCommand
Dim str1, str2, str3, str4, str5, str6, str7, str8, str9 As String
[Code] .....
Note my add is working perfectly fine. I just can find the error on my delete and update. Also I have used this to view it to my datagrid I don't know if its the right thing but it's working fine too.
'declared dbpath globally'
Dim dbPath As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0; Data Source=../VG.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
[Code] .....
Another thing is how to code each textbox and combobox to bind it to my records so that when I click on the datagridview each column will be distributed on each respective textbox.

I'm dynamically creating a button control, and I'd like to add a background image from my resources thing to the button.
Now, I'm pretty sure it would be:
CODE:
But I don't know how to refer to an image that is in my project resources.
I've tried:
CODE:
But that gives error:Value of type 'System.Drawing.Bitmap' cannot be converted to 'String'.

I am dynamically creating and adding dropdown controls to DevExpress XtraGrid.That works fine and I can add a dropdown control to any column I wish.My main problem is that I need to have the first element in the dropdown control displayed. But after I dynamically add 3 dropdown controls to the grid, only the last one has the element displayed. The previous two do not.Although, I add the elements
this is what the code looks like:
vb.net
Dim column as DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookupEdit
For i as Integer = 0 to dsSometing.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
column = New DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookUp
[code]....
The code will go tru and add lets say 3 dropdown controls, set their .DataSource to datasets I need, but it will only show .NullText of the last added control.

I have two tables Products and Categories with a many to many relationship. I am trying to copy the categories linked to one product (OriginalProduct) to another product (newProduct). The problem is when I execute the SaveChanges() method, I not only get the records in my linking table, but it also creates another copy of the categories in the categories table. I've tried this in many ways but here are the last couple that I've attempted:
' Copy Product/Categories
For Each oneProdCategory In OriginalProduct.Categories
Dim relatedCategory = _productContext.GetObjectByKey(New EntityKey ("ProductInfoEntities.Categories", "RecordId", oneProdCategory.RecordId))

I've been looking for some programming languages, and I've read about the basics of Python and C++, but I'm more interested in Visual Basic But! Everywhere I look, I only find tutorials about how to use MS's Visual Basic Express and stuff, not how to code, not tutorials about the code syntax, how to declare variables and these essential things.Does anyone here has a good tip about learning the basics of VB? And not how to use VB Express/Full edition I can insert a new button but I have no idea on how to make it work, what's the point of it?
EDIT: Oh and another thing.I was playing around VB, creating a simple user interface with buttons, and I've noticed that the code doesn't change when I update the button's or other objects' Name property in the Designer window... shouldn't the code update itself with the new objects names?
