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 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?
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?
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.
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'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 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 was having a little trouble using TryParse. I have 3 texts boxes that I just want to always be decimals and if false a message box will come up, but if true it will do nothing. Another thing was how can I just make it so one message box comes up because right now I have it split into 3
If Decimal.TryParse(TxtLoan.Text, decAmountInput) = False Then MessageBox.Show("The data you enter must be positive, numeric data. Please re-enter valid date. ", "Invalid Data")

This dynamically created content is mostly dropdownlist boxes in the format of
<form method=post action="/questions/nextBatch"> <div id="text">What is your preferred drink?</div> <select>
[Code]....
Is it is possible to perform validation on the dropdowns lists to ensure that a value has been selected? If any of the dropdownlists that still have the default value (the "please make a selection" text) the page is then redisplayed with the font colour of the question or dropdownlist box changed to say red?
I'm from the Webforms world and have made the switch over to MVC (which I really like!) and I know there are some pretty slick validation tools out there but you seem to have to account for them within the view itself.
I cannot pass a HTML helper through the viewdata of the controller as it does not render unless it has been coded directly into the view itself.
Also, I'm looking for a pure asp.net solution as I cannot use javascript due to accessiblity concerns. I can access all the values of the dropdowns without any problems throug the formscollection object but from there I'm a bit stuck.
all bindings work except the ones in the validation controls for the itemtemplate of the last column (they are passed as text to the web page). Why is this happening? is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do?
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
My asp.net page has multiple text-boxes and DropDownLists that all have required-field validators.
My site also has multiple pages that you can move between with the click of a button. (All pages have all the buttons) When a page loads and decide I want to go to a different page without entering information into the form, I click a button to move to a separate page and the validation pops up and I can't change the page, it stops me every time?
Please help for database connectivity using vb2008 to ms access,and also how bound the controls like textbox going to database using vb2008 as front and back is ms access

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.?
what event fires when individual textboxes that are bound to a data source using the properties pane gets refreshed? I wish to use this event to populate a few textboxes that are not bound.
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.

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.
I cannot figure out why HeaderText or validation controls always fallback to default culture - even though rest of the controls are in correct culture.
I have a GridView with HeaderText specified in this way>
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 am trying to delete a customer record. In the page I have an usercontrol for address and it has some validation. I cannot delete the record since it fires the validation controls.
[edit]oops - stupid typo - this is resolved and explained in the next post[/edit] I've got a BINDING SOURCE - that I bind to controls - textboxes mostly. I create a row in the datatable behind this BINDING SOURCE like this.
Can anyone tell me why "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound." I keep getting an error "Invalid Operation Exception was Unhandled" error. All I am attempting to do is allow the user to select products from a list(or a second datagridview) and have it added to the datagridview so they do not have to type in every cell since the other cells are not visible because they do not purtain to their needs. Plus they will be able to save all items at the same time.
I have an Address Book project with a listbox. The listbox is bound to the database via the little arrow pop-up box in the corner of the listbox. I have the DisplayMember set to FirstName, and obviously only display the First Name of the contact in the ListBox. Is there an easy way to change it so that it displays the First and Last names? I can't change the binding because I need it to get the ID of the record selected.Here's the basis of my code...

I have two datagridview's both are databound. First one shows items for sale and the second stores all the items that were sold. I am trying too transfer selected rows from one to the other but no matter what I keep getting told "Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound."
