View 5 RepliesI am creating a save function for my program and need to save information from different form into the same line of text in a text document. I have to get the date (from vb), the persons name (on frrmDataCollection.tbName) and their BMI (its calculated on frrmDataCollection from a button so i dunno how to do this bit). I then need to put it in a text document on my hard drive (C:BMICalculator). Here is the code that I have got at the moment 1st for the conversion and 2nd for the save function.
HeightAnswer = CType(tbHeight.Text, Single) * 2
WeightAnswer = CType(tbWeight.Text, Single)
BMIAnswer = WeightAnswer / HeightAnswer
frmBMIResults.tbResults.Text = (tbName.Text & ", your BMI is " & BMIAnswer)
frmBMIResults.Show()
Me.Hide()

I have run into a problem with saving to database when running the program I am making.
I have an mdf file called prices.mdf and have set the "copy to output directory" to copy if newer setting and set this for the ldf file build action is set to content.. should it be compile or a different setting??
I access this database thru a dataset called pricelist dataset and when the program runs and you go to forms to update the prices, each form has a datagrid with the toolbar and the save icon. Mostly I followed tutorials to help me put it together.
When you run the change price menu for each part of the database, they appear to save each time u re run the program. But once you close down vb2010 and reopen it a day or so later and rerun, the new prices are gone and the old prices are being used.
I thought changing the setting on the mdf file to copy if newer is the usual fix for this, but as I said I have already got it set to copy if newer.
I can't figure out how to track what the dataset is accessing to make sure it is going to that database, or if i have made some sort of other database that it is accessing instead as well as the mdf database.
when I look at the dataset and the column entries for each part of the prices database, as to whether i need to check the dataset itself, or the forms the datagrids are on with the toolbar save icon, or whether there is another place to check to see if it needs to be changed to something like change if newer.
Obviously the program is working and doing the changes, but not storing them in the right place, so I am losing the changes once i shut down my project and reopen it.
also I have looked at the file propertiesand made sure they all set to copy if newer PricelistDataSet.xsd, pricelistdataset.designer.vb, and also the pricelist dataset.vb, xcs and xss ones are all set to copy if newer when I look in the solution explorer.butsome of the build part is set to compile on some and none for others As I am not experienced with VB 2010 or databases I am not sure how to track it down
Update: Just looked under each of the forms the data grids are on. and see the copy to output directorys on these are set to do not copy for each of the designer.vb, vb and resx. I am bit hesitant to change these without getting some advice from more experienced people if the forms also need to be set up to copy if newer.
This is what is shown in the coding on one of the forms if u double click on the save icon in toolbar

View 11 RepliesI created a form with 4 textboxes, one date picker, time and combobox. Now the problem I have is that I want to save all the values in these boxes in a folder which depends on what is selected in the combobox.
Source:
vb.net
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
[Code]....
The idea is that if I select 3 in the combobox, the files has to be saved in the folder 3. This folder is located on a server located in the LAN.
I'm sending a message on FormClosing(...)... This works ok. However... I have multiple tabs with a textbox or rtb, in it. When I change the text, whatever, it is modified. Now, when I close the app a messagebox appears that some of the textboxes or rtb's have been modified. This message is shown for each textbox-rtb-control. Which means, that when I have changed something in 4 different rtb's or textboxes I get the message 4 times. How do I change that to only one time?

I am new to VB.net and have created a simple master detail windows form. I created a two table data set and then dropped the master table on the form as a continues form or a detail form with several text boxes to hold the data. The child form is a data grid.
test data that I have added directly to the database shows up with the proper parent child relationships on the form. I can also enter new records into the database using the parent only portion of my form.
When I attempt to enter a complete record with data in both the parent form and the child data grid I get this error. The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
[Code]...
I have searched for a possible reason for this error but can not find any explanation. I have noted in earlier versions of VB.net you had to enter code to save the child record, but the VB 2010 code does not seem to use the same syntax so I assumed the UpdateAll eliminated the need for the extra code

I am trying to create a program that will have an option to automatically log you into a couple sites when you press the Start button. I have a separate form that you can open and put in your Username and Password for each site. There is a button that when you press it it is supposed to write to a file (C:DesktopAccounts.txt) you username and password so that when it is opened again you will not have to type them again. I had it working perfectly until I added some code so that it will remember if you had the check box checked and have the text box as read only (if check box is not checked). I even tried deleting the new code but it still will not write to the file, but it can read from it if I put the information in manually.

Currently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
[Code]...
i want the user to login, and the first thing is, having the text document for that(if theres a safer way to do it, let me know) then it goes to the weekly sales page, but theres also the goals for the sales, which rarely change, but if they do i would like them to be able to change them, then next page is the list of the workers, and if they need to i would like them to be able to add workers. so my question is: is there anyway that maybe i could save both the goals, and the workers in the text document, and when they need to change it/add workers it will save it in the text document and the next time they sign in the changes will be permanent? also is there a way to delete the user once they have been created, other than going into the txt document and deleting it.

The problem the I stumble upon is how I get the information from the license form to the main form when they click a button in the license form or close the license form. The information is more then just a simple input, so I can't use a InputBox call because the license form has 3 comboboxes and a textbox to get the input from the user and then I need to send that input to the main form.

View 9 RepliesSo my question is that I have 2 list boxes in two forms aside from the main one. and I am trying to transfer what I choose in the side form to transfer to the list box.
several questions: Why does the blank list form I have in the main form create a problem when I enter a name for the list box and why does it appear in the box when I put it there? As you can see in my errors. It doesn't seem to recognize the listbox that I wanted to leave empty in the main form.
Second question is how do I get names to add in the main form list box. I believe I have the right code but I seem to be missing something else as well. I want the names to display in the main list box and the integers to add up together so I can separately figure the tax and shipping myself.
