View 2 RepliesI'm writing a standalone application in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2005. I want to display/hide a bunch of Buttons based on the selected value of a ComboBox. Each selection would have a different set of Buttons to display, and I'd like to have them arranged in a nice grid.
Driving a TabControl with the ComboBox value would be the kind of behavior I want, but I don't want it to look like a TabControl to the user because it might be confusing.Is there a way to do this?
Basically, I'd like Selection1 of the ComboBox to show Buttons 1-4, Selection2 to show Buttons 5-11, Selection3 to show (maybe) Buttons 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8, etc., have them arranged nicely, and have the GUI show only the ComboBox and the buttons.
I must say personally, the WithEvents system is, shall we say, open to extreme false sense of security, so to speak. I like a lot of automation in my code, and tend to provide ways to do things manually, with a "default" behavior encoded. However, as I have just discovered, the withevents doesn't HOOK the event delegate until after creation. So even when you do New MyObject(), if an event is triggered during the Sub New() process, the delegate hasn't been assigned yet, and thus the event (which in my current situation is extremely important) never triggers. which begs the question the point of the WithEvents other than removing "AddHandler" lines from procedural code. Sure it saves on typing, due to code completion, but if that's it, that isn't much of a benefit. One would think that using the WithEvents would allow me to do:
PUblic Sub New()
MyBase.New()
RaiseEvent MyEvent()
End Sub
Tragically, this does NOT work, which royally screws up my lazy loading techniques and other such tricks that were supposed to make my code simpler to use, and instead has made things 10 times more complex, as I have to specifically alter class initialization sequences to be outside of class instantiation. (which should be one in the same, imho).Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec Ruiner

I'm trying to design a detailsView form which contains [classes] --< [studentClasses] >-- [students] tables. There is a many to many relationship between [classes] and [students] through the third table [studentClasses]. I want to design the detailsView of [classes] such as that all [students] will be listed in a listbox but related students that take the class will be highlighted. And when I select/deselect students from the listbox and save I want the changes to be saved to respective tables.

View 3 RepliesI am completely new to ASP.NET programming, and was asked to work on a small project involving ASP.NET, VB (which I am new to as well) and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.Being used to php/java I was hoping to find some kind of similar API to php.net and the javadoc. It would be very useful to have as I would prefer to work with a text editor, instead of using DreamWeaver or Visual Web Developer.In the project I basically only need to use ASP.NET to read from a SQL 2005 database and write to JSON files. where to find a clean and decent API to work with?
View 4 RepliesHow to clean up a string in Visual Basic .NET? I'm creating a string as a report with line breaks. However, the string is built based off of screen scrapes from a TN3270 emulator. The string is saved successfully with all of the data I require, but those annoying rectangle symbols show up once I send it to a notepad text file. Do you know anyway I can strip those out and clean up the output?

View 1 RepliesI need to simply identify if a particular tag occurs in an XML document. At this point my XML solutions, much like my regex solutions, are based on limited knowledge and are far from elegant. Is there a better way to achieve the following:
For Each e As System.Xml.XmlElement In xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("stat")
parse = False
Next
Found this:
Sub SurroundWithAppendTag()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = ".Append(""" + DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text + """)"
End Sub
But I can't seem to figure out how to loop through each line of text in the selection.
I'm currently making my first program, its an active directory clean up tool. Right now I'm having diffculty getting it to search sub OUs that it sees, I can get it to look at one layer of the sub OUs. I just want more of a dynamic code so I don't have to keep repeating it like I did do. Also I'm not sure that I'm looking through active directory the best way.

View 4 RepliesI need to get strresult to give me a clean string with no punctuation from strinput. I wanted to store that in strresult. My main goal was to write a loop to check the textbox input - strinput for letters a-z and store them in strresult and compare the reverse of that to strinput. I can do codes like mom, and things like that and it reads them, but when i add characters like mom! and red rum, sir, is murder...I am not stripping the punctuation off correctly.

My app is basically talking to a device via RS232. I need to 'listen' to the data received and do certain things based on it, update labels, etc. When I started, I only had a couple cross-thread calls and I used JMC's example to get by that. Now my app is bigger and I am calling the ThreadProcSafe all the time. I am hoping there is an easier way so I don't have to create sub routines for every control. Here's the relevant parts of my code.
Private Sub StepperSerialPort_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles StepperSerialPort.DataReceived
Dim ReceiveBuffer As String

I've created an app, which puts windows onto the desktop. When i click on the window it creates a new window and passes the first window's Items collection to the second window's Items collection. Opening the second window adds around 2-4 megs of memory to the app's mem usage. Now if i close the second window, the memory still stays on the same level as when the window was opened. When closing the window, i reset the Items property and clear all images that i'm using in it. It has a wrappanel with some elements, that's also cleared using the .clear function of the wrappanel.children. What else should i do to free up the memory?

I have a table in a Access Database that I'm loading into a VB.NET program and I want a way to get the name of each of the columns into a list of Strings. Googling has shown that this is much easier with a SQL database, but that doing so in Access is much more difficult. I came across this question Is there a query that will return all of the column names in a Microsoft Access table? Which gives a way to do it, but when I try the code it just populates my list with a bunch of "System.Collections.Generic.List'1[System.String]"
This is my adapted code.
Public Function GetColumns(ByRef database As String, ByRef table_name As String, ByRef columns As List(Of String)) As Integer
Dim com As OleDbConnection
Try
com = New OleDbConnection(database)
com.Open()
