VS 2010 Programming Or Dragging Bound Controls?
Oct 20, 2011
In an earlier post today [URL].. jmcilhinney in post #9 says,Quote: If you're going to use a DataSet at all then there's no reason not to use a typed DataSet. I would not recommend dragging items from the Data Sources window directly onto a form but that is not a requirement of using a Data Source.
I was wondering what is the down side of dragging items onto the form. I don't mind doing the manual programming, I would just like to know the reason I'm doing it.

We are binding most of our text boxes and dropdown boxes to a BINDING NAVIGATOR (with a DATA SOURCE of a DATA TABLE).When the BN is clicked through the text boxes all change immediately.We need to use some non-bound controls as well.First one is 4 radio buttons that when clicked will change a single value in a DATA TABLE.What would be the best method to do this? Should I track when the CURRENTCHANGED event occurs on the BINDING NAVIGATOR.I'm thinking that I could trick this by BINDING the SINGLE FIELD to a HIDDEN TEXTBOX and when that textbox CHANGED event occurs mess with the radio buttons and visa-versa.

I'm currently working on a data entry application in VB.NET and I'm using data-bound controls by simply dragging the table from the Data Sources window onto the form. It's my first time doing this, but this will save me quite a bit of time since this table has plenty of fieldsAnyway, my problem is that when I enter an invalid value in a textbox and then delete the text it won't let me select other controls or even close the form!
For example, say I have an Age field in the DB, which is an int and I mistakenly type "," on its textbox. Then I decide I actually want to leave that field blank (considering it allows nulls) so I just delete all of the textbox's contents, after doing so, I'm not able to switch focus to another control or close the form.

I don't normally use strongly typed datasets, but I am maintaining an existing application that uses them.This application has a form to edit rows in detail view, so we have the navigator toolstrip with nav buttons on top, including one to add a new row.When this button is clicked, I need to update one of the bound text boxes with a value from the underlyingThe field in question is defined as nvarchar 25 It's almost always integers in this field, but one row has a string.In the dataset, I have a table adapter to go get the max value + 1 where the field is numeric, like this:
SELECT internal_num = CAST(MAX(internal_num) + 1 AS NVARCHAR(25))
FROM dbo.invoice_log
WHERE ISNUMERIC(internal_num) = 1

I have a windows form with multiple TextBoxes that are bound to a DataSet of type XML. I load text into the textboxes using DataSet.ReadXML method in the form's load event.
I have another windows forms application which edits the XML contents in that XML file.
How do I force the textBox controls on this form to refresh once the XML datasource file items are changed?

Normally you would move a program around by dragging the bar at the top of the window, agreed? How can you change a form in VB to move around when dragging anywhere on the form apart from a button?

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and want to design my Dynamic crystal reports. In vb6 i normally did this via bounding each control of the section1 ,2 or 3 via run time code by giving the name of that control something like
.section3.controls("txtName").text=some value
can I did the same with crystal reports as well in VB.Net if yes than how.?

I have a few bound data controls on a form. However, there are certain data fields in the same table from which this data is coming from which I would like to be able to access in memory but which is not bound to a control. I have tried looking through the properties of my datanavigator, my dataadapter and my databindingsource and can't seem to find out how to sort this.
In simple terms, I have a data navigator to iterate through various fields in my dataset. I want to be able to access to the contactID of the currently visible / selected contact. The contact ID exists in the data source but I do not want to show it, just access it. How do I do so without issuing a manual SQL call to the database again?

The following code works (rows are filtered by the select expression), but then all the controls in the datarepeater are empty. When set to .DefaultView all records return and all controls have their values.

If CheckBox_FilterApplied.Checked Then

I have a form with some textboxes on it. The textboxes show values from a table. I have a binding navigator that lets you step through the records in the table and the textboxes update. What I want, is to have a control, say a listbox, that allows you to select a value which will filter the data behind the controls so that you only have one record.
So, for example, say you have a table of contacts. There are textboxes on your form that show name, phone, address etc. You could then have a listbox that showed a list of all the contacts and you could select one, which would in turn the textboxes. The filtering field could be contactID for example.

We've got a bunch of forms that are using data binding through a binding source control to get text from a textbox into a dataset and then into a database. The problem is that we need to be able to strip trailing spaces before saving the data.
Is there an easy way of doing this without having to go through the dataset manually trimming every string? Ideally everything should update to keep things consistent (e.g. no trailing spaces in the database, dataset or textbox).

I am writing a simple Address Book Application using Typed Dataset & Bound Controls. 1<sup>st</sup> Form for Entering Addresses 2<sup>nd</sup> Form for Adding New 'CITY'. To select a city for address I am using a data bound combo box which shows a list of Cities.
While entering with a address if user found the required City Name is not found in the Combo list, he opens a 2<sup>nd</sup> Form to Add a City name to database & returns to Form1.
Here the expected newly added city doesn't appear in the combo list, so I tried to Refill the underlying table with following code

I have a vb.net 2010 form with 22 data bound controls from two tables held in a dataset which is navigated by a bindingnavigator. This successfully adds deletes and updates. However what I need is when adding a new record I need some of the fields to be pre filled out. More specifically I have points balance fields etc which could be any value but will normally be 0 on a new customer so I want to initialize them to 0 when adding new records.

I have downloaded and played with the standard MS Examples in the VS2008 Download pages.They are very good for some areas but a little light in database handling.
1) Search Grid plus the Record Selected Display (this is beyond the scope of MIcrosofts VS2008 Examples)
2) Using plain ADO commands with VS2008 (rather than all the fancy data controls)
3) Using Stored Procedures rather than all the fancy data controls
4) Database Access Examples
My application area of interest is mainly ERP, Accounting and CRM Systems

Is there anyone who can tell me the code for the below? Receive a lower bound and an upper bound of a range. Also receive a number of random numbers to generate. You must validate
1) the numbers are integers
2) the lower bound is less than or equal to the upper bound
3) the number to generate is positive (i.e., > 0).
Generate this many numbers in the specified range and keep track of how many of each are generated in an array of counters. Once all the numbers have been generated, display in a List Box the number, the raw count data, and the percentage of how many times the number was generated displayed with two decimal places of precision.

I've been researching this all day, it say you must add a record to the datatable if you want to add a new row. This is my code.
Private Sub TagsdetailBindingSource_AddingNew(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) Handles TagsdetailBindingSource.AddingNew
'Me.TagsdetailBindingSource.CancelEdit()
[code]....
But this code add two rows, the first row has the default data that I entered. The second row doesn't.
I think this is because it add a new row because the "AddingNew" was called. I can't find a way to cancel this "AddingNew". Maybe this code should go somewhere else.
I want the user to be able to use the "Add" button. I just want to insert some default data and then add the row to the grid so they can add another row without having to enter any data.

I have been experimenting with datagridview by designing a bill tracking program. The first challenge I haven't been able to solve myself is how to sort it. I managed to figure out how to save and update from xml but I don't know how to put it in any particular order. Is this possible with it bound, or would I need to write particular code to custom-fill in the date grid? All I am looking for is an a-z sort.

I am writing a program which includes access to a Microsoft Accsess database. It is running fine on my work computer (windows xp) but when I transfer it to my laptop (windows 7) to work from home it stops running on the "open" statement. I have stripped out all other code so that I just have a program with this in:

Again this will run fine on my desk computer but will not get past the open statement on my laptop.Interestingly, if I start a brand new project on my laptop and paste this code into it - it runs correctly.
