View 7 RepliesI have a Util module in my VB.NET program that has project-wide methods such as logging and property parsing. The general practice where I work seems to be to call these methods directly without prefixing them with Util. When I was new to VB, it took me a while to figure out where these methods/functions were coming from. As I use my own Util methods now, I can't help thinking that it's a lot clearer and more understandable to add Util. before each method call (you know immediately that it's user-defined but not within the current class, and where to find it), and is hardly even longer. What's the general practice when calling procedures/functions of VB modules? Should we prefix them with the module name or not?
View 3 RepliesI have this weird issue:I developed an application with a sequence like this login form -> mainform (=mdi parent) --> some functionform (mdi-child)--> report form
The reportform contains a reportviewer and will display different dataset queries depending on the state of some radio buttons which are located on the previous form ('some function form'). When I run the project directly from the 'some function form' (set startup form for project) things work great. The report shows the correct data depending on choices made on the previous form.But....when I run the project all the way from login and mainform it doesn't work. Seems like the choices made on the "some function form' are not coming through to the report form.
I have a bizarre vb.net problem.I'm working with a 3rd party library with a namespace called Telerik.Webcontrols. The library is in a web site project that I am in the process of converting to a web application project.
Telerik.WebControls contains a class called RadAjaxControl.In the original web site project, I have code that looks like this:
public sub page_load(...)
dim foo as Telerik.Webcontrols.RadAjaxControl
Once I convert to a web application project, it says that Telerik.Webcontrols doesn't exist.
However, the truly bizarre thing is that the following code does compile:
imports Telerik.WebControls public sub page_load(...)dim foo as RadAjaxControl

View 4 RepliesI was planning on using very similar code to the following to export to excel quickly[url]...
However, the data that I'm exporting is rather large and I find it unnecessary to grab a dataset from the sproc, convert it to a multidimensional array of objects and then export to Excel. There are two main reasons this is unnecessary. 1) It takes time to transfer that data from the dataset to the array. 2) There are then two instances of the data, one in the dataset and one in the array. Therefore, I would rather directly insert the sproc results into the array of objects and bypass the dataset altogether. I can't do this unless I know how many rows I'm getting back from the sproc in order to declare the array's size beforehand. [code]...

View 2 RepliesI am writing a program for a class and it needs to read/write to an Access 2007 database. Right now I am referring to it's absolute path when I use it in connection strings, something like:
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersMeDocumentsVisual StudioProjectsProject1Database.accdb")
This is going to be a problem when I turn it in obviously, because the professor isn't going to have the same path. So I want to somehow include it into my project and then refer to it with a relative path or something so that it will work on his machine. When I imported it through the Data Sources it had an option at the end to copy the database into the project which I agreed to. It put the Database where all of the source files are on my computer, so I tried using Application.StartupPath(

Using OpenFiledialog I can access a file. Is there a way that I can include a specific file in the code? This would allow me to access the file directly without the selection process and the application would always use that same file.
View 14 RepliesI need to display a toolstrip directly beneath a menustrip in my application, but setting RenderMode = Professional for each does not give identical results. They both show a background gradient, but not the same one.
Is there some way to use menustrip rendering for the toolstrip, or vice versa? Or can someone advise how best to implement a gradient myself, that I can perform in a sub-classed renderer?
There's just one more issue -- if I base my custom renderer on the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer and override OnRenderToolstripBackground, I still get curved right-hand corners on my ToolStrip but not on my MenuStrip. Is there some internal logic that provides a different Region for filling by the background renderer? I've turned off (overridden with a do-nothing function) the border renderer.

View 1 RepliesI just converted UberSite, a vb.net web site to a web application. I get run-time errors saying that there is no such thing as type foo. When I drill down to the page in the code-view, it gives me an error-correction suggestion: import namespace UberSite.
If I create a new web application and define foo there, there is no need to import any namespace to use foo in the new application.
How can this be? Why does my web application seemingly need to import its own namespace?
I would like to know if there is a way to import data from one application to another? If so, what functions do I use?

When I try to code in VB2010, I usually unmark the reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic. Because I do not want to use the legacy functions of VB6. I want to complete walk in .Net path. And I have found some alternatives for the old VB6 functions. But the rest not. Where can I find the list of those methods or classes (alternatives for the VB6 functions) ?(For eg: when I tried to find the difference of 2 dates, I couldn't find any other alternatives. So, I came back and used the Microsoft.VisualBasic reference for using DateDiff())?
View 24 RepliesI came about these two functions (ReadHEX and WriteHEX) that, obviously, read a hex offset or write a hex offset of a file. However, these functions were written in VB6. The main thing I'm not understanding is how to open a file (in a filestream I presume) and then to either read or write a certain offset from the file. I'd also need to convert the string I'm writing to hex before I actually right it, but I've got that under control. Here's the current functions as they were written:
