When I place it in a global module, it looks like the dataset is being duplicated I was wondering why this happens when I place it in a global module?
This the code I use and the code I would put in a global module

If a "web page" is more of a "Web App", meaning it is more of an "application" in a web browser, is it still possible to fill forms and stuff? I have come across a pretty huge hurdle in my fight for automation and it involves filling in a "service ticket" submission thing that is browser-based. I can view the source code of the page, but it doesn't look like normal HTML and the first screen of it has a username and password box, but there is no mention of either in the page's source code.

For instance when the form starts it will check a directory for DLLS, query each dll which will return a name. I then need to populate this menu with the 'installed' applications my game has. I have a start equivalent button then I just need to the actual menu.

I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.
I am having a problem with a program I made. Its an application for placing points on an image. It has a picture box inside a panel so the image can be scrolled. The problem is that depending where the point is placed, the point drawn is shifted.

I am wondering where should I store my error messages. These messages are the simplified version meant for the users. I am thinking like centralizing a specific location to store all the custom messages so that it will be easier to reference in the future. The location should also provide a key for each stored message.

I have a project with various forms all of the same size. Is there a way of getting them to appear in, for example the middle of the screen each time they load, in the same position
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

I am making a simple program. This program is maximized as soon as it opens the problem is I made some buttons and labels and set the form Windowstate to Maximized so that it will maximized as soon as the program is run; now when I run the program it is maximized but the buttons and labels are not in the same place I put, for example I put a button on the bottom right corner when the program is run it appears in the fare left ( I post 2 pic ) Clipboard02.jpgClipboard01.jpg

I have a String with 15 places that I would like to split into 3 pieces: (First 3 digits), (next 3 digits), (remaining 9 digits).
How in VB2008 can I do that? Everything I have read so far indicates seperating by a certain character (ie: "," or " ") but no mention of character place. Seems like a simple thing, but after 2 hours of searching I'm still coming up empty
Can you tell me what event takes place after a form is loaded and displayed including all controls on that form?

I have made a X,Y counter with a timer and a Label. Its work, but sometimes the X,Y values is not corret, as before.We say that a red dot has the X,Y Value 300,400. Then i close the program och open it and check agin. Then the dot can have the X,Y values 304,407. Now it's seems to be that the program has choosen that the red dot has the 304,407 as X,Y value. But i KNOW sometimes it's goning to chanes back.
View 1 RepliesLike I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.
View 1 RepliesI have a loaded combo box and was wondering if there was a way i could get the place value from it when it is selected. An example would be i have a combo box full of foods:
Apple
Bannana
Peach
Pear
if the user selects apple then i want to be able to get 1 from the combo box since that is the spot it is in. if peach was selected then i want to get the place value of 3.
Well I currently just finished my game, but it ended up around 1GB. Thus, I tried to revise the code to make it smaller. I am trying to get 2 form events under a single sub. For example, a sub for a town would have the shown event and the click event. However, when I try that it won't work.
The other way is to transfer variables and its data from one sub to another. But I dont know how to either Example:
Private Sub Number
Dim TheNumber as integer
TheNumber = 1

View 3 RepliesI always wanted to make some websites. Is VB 2010 a good tool to make websites?
Where is a good place to start. Tutorials, examples and all of that.
In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.
I am creating a Map Rotation Randomizer for my Call of Duty clan, and I am having an issue with understanding how to randomize the text from the list and placing it into another textbox.
Here's what it looks like right now:
All textboxes are multi-line.
When I click a button for a game (CoD4, MW2, WaW), it places the map list into the left textbox like:
mp_bloc
mp_broadcast
mp_crossfire
etc.
When I click the button with ">>>", I want it to randomize that list and place it into the right textbox like:
map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast map mp_crossfire
Or if I click it again:
map mp_crossfire map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast
And so on. I think I need to create an array, but I've never worked with those before as I'm still new to learning programming. I'm not even sure what controls I need to put on the form for that, if it even requires any.
I'm in college & in my part time I have been working on some automated web task apps. Just real basic stuff to automate my own personal account tasks on small social networks (not facebook!) to keep up with fan's for my 'soon to be' record label....nothing multiple accounts & it's not any kind of unsolicited spam functions. I know I could obtain most/if not all the info/code I need on this forum... I guess some people just need their hand held more than others, in order to stay focused.
Basically I've just got some things I'd like to add to my application that are above my ability & I need someone to help me out with my code. REALLY SIMPLE STUFF..like I've still yet to figure out for example:
1) How to simply pause between functions, as opposed to having to use a timer for each function. And using 1 timer to enable another timer...and so on in that fashion. Which becomes incredibly confusing & hard to edit after adding more than 3-4 timers reliant on each other LoL
2) Figuring out a way to not have to rely on 'webpage has finished loading' to move onto the next task. When many times on social networks, pages don't load properly, especially during peak hours, thus stopping the function of my web browser based application.
3) Implementing my application using a superior web browser framework. For example Gecko, or some other 3rd party browser that can perform simple tasks like filling forms, submitting them, clicking links/clicking javascript links.Right now using I.E. web browser, after my application has loaded about 75 web pages, it's using about 200mb of ram (from its initial 16mb) because of a memory leak in I.E. to which there is no solution (documented in several threads on this forum).Where in your opinion, would be a good place to look to hire a programmer/tutor for something like this? Because I am not looking for just code, but hands on, like on IM messenger/talk me through help too. I wonder if there is even a place offering services like that?
