Is there an equivalent to Java Properties in VB. A Properties file in java is a place where you can save propeties for an application. So if an application looks at a file on a server (which could change) you could save to location in a properties file the if the location changes you just change the properties file. You do not have to recompile the program.

I think that we can specify or import our properties that we wish to use in the project in the .vbproj file of our project.
And.. if so, how will I use these in my VB source code... ?
I want to keep the table names, connection strings, etc in the properties file.
In the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?

I am trying to get the following VB6 listindex to work within my vb.net
setTheR CStr(payReq.ItemData(payReq.ListIndex))
But if i copy and paste that into VB.net it wont accept it.
This is what VB.net did with the converting of the VB6 to .net
strContract = payReq.Items.Item(payReq.FocusedItem.Index).Text
However, checking that value it returns the name instead of the index. While the VB6 code returns the value of 2311 (which is what it needs to return)
When i add items to the listview i do this:
Item = payReq.Items.Add(rsPayRequests.Fields("userid").Value)
Item.SubItems.Insert(1, New System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(Nothing,
[Code]...
But that does not work with my listview in .net since that above is a listbox and not a listview. Is there an equivalent in .net for the listbox to have a custom index?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to validate ALL properties in a class at once? I have a class with various validations added to property "Getter" to validate user inputs. (The problem is that all my validations only invoke if a user input something to the field that bind to the property. Any fields that user simply bypass will not get validated). Ideally I want to loop through each property and validate in a "Save()" method.
View 8 RepliesI'm working on a project where I need to information on all the monitors connected to a computer and then write a configuration file based on that. I can already get the screen information by creating a new instance of screen and reading the information such as index, bounds and everything else.I'm trying to create a virtual screen object to hold the information from the screen so I can work with it, or add other properties to it.[code]This all works perfectly how I want it to. Except I would like to do one more thing. How can I make it so that instead of getting Virtual_Screen.Top, I could get Virtual_Screen.Bounds.Top? That way I could create other properties such as Virtual_Screen.Border.Top..I have no idea how to code, or what that would be called. It's hard to search for something you don't know the name of.

View 7 RepliesI have a datagrid and load data from a database in and can't find thesolution for a couple of propblems..
1) The columns from the DB is loaded in to the datagrid but the width of each column is very small and needs resizing to view all data everytime it loads. Can I programmically make the colums show wider annd fill the datagrid?
2) I load the columns using SELECT col1,col2,col3 from table; then load that in to the datagrid. col1 is a primary key so has to be loaded as I perform an update of edited data at the end. Can I somehow hide col1 so it does not show in the datagrid?

View 2 RepliesI am creating some reports using object datasources.in my software the user can create a list of products specifying a code, the product name, the price and the vat rate (this last two attributes will be used as suggestions when the user will place the product inside an order).When a user creates an order he can place products within it by specifying for each product the quantity and he can also override the suggested price and the vat rate.So basically i have two models to represent the products:
ProductModel (used to define product name, product code and the default suggestion for price and vat rate)OrderProductModel (used to place products within an order, specify the quantity and override the default product suggestion for price and vat number)
ProductModel:
id
code
name

(suppose orderProduct is an instance of OrderProductModel)Now the question is "how to define the report rule to access to code and name?"...I am using visual studio 2010 and by reading here:[URL]they says that the syntax: =Fields!Object.Value.attribute no longer works...
