VS 2010 How To Manage Several Forms
Nov 17, 2011
The first thing that I have found difficult to manage is when a program has several forms. Basically what I do is just hiding one and showing up the other form. it does not look that nice. I was thinking of having one form and laying all the other forms on that one. Let me explain myself more thoroughly. Let's say to the left hand side of my form, i have few group boxes with buttons. So when clicking a button, it should automatically close the form and show up the new one on the main form. Its like refreshing the form. So what I mean is that there is only one main form and clicking each button will show another form.

I am a beginner to vb. So I am doing so many efforts to write some programs myself. The first thing that I have found difficult to manage is when a program has several forms. Basically what I do is just hiding one and showing up the other form. it does not look that nice. I was thinking of having one form and laying all the other forms on that one. Let me explain myself more thoroughly. Let's say to the left hand side of my form, i have few group boxes with buttons. So when clicking a button, it should automatically close the form and show up the new one on the main form. Its like refreshing the form. So what I mean is that there is only one main form and clicking each button will show another form. Hope I am explaining myself correctly. I have tried MDI but that's not I am looking for. Some friends have told me to use user controls. Is that the correct path to follow?

I have a VB.NET/C# Visual Studio 2010 Solution with a bunch of projects that depend on about 30 third-party DLLs all from 1 vendor. This third-party vendor recently released a new version of their software so I would like to parallel test their new software and my enhancements until I am comfortable to switch over. What is the best way to setup a solution in Visual Studio 2010 so that I can use the code I have developed on top of these third-party DLLs and have the opportunity to easily switch between:
(1) the new version of the third-party DLLs [for my testing] and
(2) the old version of the third-party DLLs in case I need to debug some problem a user is having.Third party assemblies ARE NOT in GAC (they're currently in a folder on a network drive). They are NOT strongly signed (ran sn -vf ). They are changing from version 5.4.618.0 to 5.4.619.60.

I would like to know how do .net developers manage a large window application with a large number of controls, such as textbox , button, groupbox? I have seen a number of people do it this way : declare the controls as an array and initialize them one by one at run time . In this way it is easy to manage those controls because they can be accessed by array index; but this solution seems to require very good understanding of control's attribute such as its location, font etc. This could be a difficult task if the project is passed on to a less experienced developer and add changes to it.How do you deal with it?

I'm looking forward to reading and adding more to the community here. I've created a text based rpg. Next semester we are learning Visual Basic. I'm on winter break and I would like to get a head start on my learning. I've been working on creating some forms and message boxes. What is throwing me off, is that I have a good feel for doing coding so that I get functionality the will produce effects in a console. Coding the forms is a bit confusing for me. Is this something that others have run into? Is their some good primers for VB? I don't have my text books yet.

I have a total of 102 values associated with a fieldname called ArrivedFlag.Then I have a TextBox control with an id of txtFlag on the markup page.In my codebehind, I have an if statement that says:
If txtFlag <> "value1" and txtFlag <> "another value" Then
lblMessage.Text ="You don't have the ability to view details"
end if
This works fine.However, given that there are 102 values, I feel that doing an IF statement 102 times is a bit inefficient.
Dim allowedFlags = New List(Of String)()
With { _
"value1", _
"another value"

I was asked by a client to create a tool that would let a user add/modify/delete/read content from a database. The content can be read from TextBoxes.
My question is, what is the best way to manage GUI locks/unlocks for the different states of the program. IE: If I'm in a "insert" mode, some GUI elements should be enabled, and some not. If I'm in the "read-only" mode, a bunch of them should be disabled... etc.

I am writing a program that uses an array with three columns and a varying amount of rows. I need to load info on a list of files in an archive(specifically: file name, size, path), and I am wondering what the most convenient way to store strings(to be loaded into the array) is.
For example: I tried creating a new .resx file in my project, and writing a function to be executed on form1_load that reads the strings from the .resx file and places them in the array in their correct column, but unfortunately had no success.
I really have no idea how resx files work, I can put strings in them using the resource editor, but I don't know how to retrieve them using resourcemanager.
I would just put the info straight into an array, but it's much easier to update a .resx file when the archive changes than it is to update the code.
Could someone please tell me how to use .resx files in vb.net? Or an easier way of accomplishing my goal?

I can't manage to add different values together...
TextBoxAnswer.Text = TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text + TextBox3.Text + TextBox4.Text
I import decimal values from my SQL Server into the TextBoxes 1-4, which works fine. But when I try to add the values together into another textbox the answer is just the values combined like a string...?The column of the table in the SQL server has a datatype decimal(18, 2)I have also tried to convert the values in the textboxes into int, str, double... Nothing seems to work...
Example:
Answer = 2,50 + 2,50 + 5,50 + 4,50
So,
TextBoxAnswer.Text = 10,00
but, all I get is:
2,502,505,504,50

I am now convinced there is no such thing using VB 2010 Express. I have read, re-read, studied, copied and pasted code to no end and all I get are error messages galore. It appears there is a big gap between what's on line as far as tutorials and the code that VB 2010 Express will accept. I hate to sound so lost but at the moment I am. I used to program in BASIC and QBASIC. I was a master at opening up ascii text files, reading them in sequential order, sorting, manipulating, then re-writing them. It was all so easy, like this: [code] That's all I want to learn how to do for the moment. But every tutorial or article I find goes off in to wild tangents about How to Manage Directories or it reads the entire text file into one giant object. Or worse, there's some code which looks promising but it won't run under VB 2010 Express or it might run but the author leaves out important parts of the code that have to be declared ahead of the subroutine....you all know what I mean. It can't be this difficult to just read a text file one line at a time, therefore it shouldn't be so difficult to find an accurate and up to date article on this.This is for really rough programming. I don't need an interface of any kind. The user, will not even need to know that anything is happening. I simply want to read text files, manipulate what's in them and then re-write the edited text.

Id'like to pass some variables (string and integers) to a class, and when I call a method of that class, it has to change the original variable.I know it was not impossible in C#, but I'm using VB2010, I made a C# project into my solution, but methods using pointers are hidden into VB. How can I make that kind of change?
An example:
Sub ChangeValues()
Dim A As Integer = 1, Str As String = "Start String"
Dim X As MyClass(A, Str)
X.ChangeInt(2)

What is the best way for me to have several datasets ?i've thought about creating a routine for creating datasets with a number in their names, each one with the desired data, but that's not very intelligent (although might work)i'd like to create what would be like an "ARRAY OF DATASETS"
[Code]...
(obs, i've done the same code loading one XML to one dataset and it works perfectly, i've gone back and forth more than one time to assure that it isn't just a logical mistake, it's syntax and lack of programming knowlegde.

I'm creating a small program in Visual Basic, using Visual Studio 2010, which communicates with a GSM modem via serial port.The connection works, I can even communicate properly with the modem and I can also send sms and mms .. But I can not handle the modem answers ... I'll explain:If I send a command like AT + CSQ modem replies with + CSQ 22.0. This command gives me the value of the signal as a response on a scale of 0-30 ... I can see on the screen (in a dedicated console) but I would like to manage the response in the sense that I would do something like that
IF (answer.text = "+CSQ 22,0") Then
label1.text = "Good"
ELSE
label1.text = "Bad"
END IF

I have an application that works together with a SQL database. This database has more than 40 tables and my applican has to extract different situations from those tables.
I have predefined some queries for the situations that I know they need to be in the application.
The idea is that I need kind of a module in which an user can create his own situation based on the tables, views, functions and procedures that already exist in the database. Something like it is in SQL. There has to be a library or something which will read my sql database directly from my application and which allow the user to create his own queries and situations.

I am new to using Visual Basic. Normally when designing other projects, CAD for PCBs, C source code, Mechanical parts etc, I maintain a sequence of design files with minor revision name changes such as r1, r2, r3 etc as I develop the design/debug process. This makes it easy to go back a step if the recent changes I've made prove to be a problem and need to be deleted. I am not sure how to do this using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

I am reading data from an XML file. This local XML file will be updated by another application, and I will need to periodically re-evaluate the XML file, and only import new data into a list box. Furthermore, I want to be able to click on a particular item in the listbox, and display the other values about that particular XML entry.
So, I suppose this is a multi part question. What is the proper way to import only NEW data into the program, what is the proper way to store the data, and how do I associate a value in a listbox with the data stored elsewhere?
I've considered multidimensional arrays, but have been told that strings to char arrays and then back to strings is a terrible way to manage the data, but was never offered an alternative.

well until a few day ago. I don't know what I have introduced to cause the problem but now, whenever I load the project, VS 2010 (SP1) crahes. If I delete the project's suo file, the project loads (really quickly) and all is well until I exitVS 2010. When I re-run it and try to load the project, it crashes again unless I delete the suo file.The program can be built for x64 and x86. Now, when I reload the project (after deleting the suo file), it comes up in Debug - Any CPU mode. I can change from Debug to Release and from Any CPU to x86 but if I try and change from x86 to x64, VS 2010 crashes.This is not always the case though. If I build the x86 version and then switch to x64, all is well and I can build the x64 version. Obviously, there's something wonky going on.

I have the following problem, a table "table1" contains 10000 telephone numbers, this table is source for 5 combo box contained in a form, I need that when I select the first tel N in the first combo, this number is not any more available for the combo 2, when I select the second number in the second combo, the first 2 numbers of the table 1 are not any more available for the combo 3 etc. Every record (in form) contains 5 combo. The Tel N selected into the combo are source for other table called "table2". I've try with all the type of query between table 1 and table 2, and use the result as source for the combo, I've try with IIf but this is works only for the first combo.
