Windows Forms - Data From User Input To DataReport?
Jul 22, 2011
I'm developing a windows forms application using VB.NET. I'm currently working on DataReport (by Microsoft, not Crystal). Everything works fine when using DataSet as DataSource. But I have a question on how am I going to put data to my DataReport from a user input? Preferably when the user is on the act of printing(clicking the print button in the ReportViewer), a Form will pop-up and ask him for input. That input I'm talking about is random names of people, and we don't have to track their names so there's no reason to put it on the database.
Here's my simple setup:
MainForm.vb (Form)
MyReportViewer (ReportViewer)
MyReport.rdlc (DataReport)
[Code]....
If it is impossible to do it on the act of printing. Maybe on the MainForm_Load event or before the generation of report can do.

I am trying to figure out how to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.My script always begins with:function Init (Quest)Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.[code]I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.Is there anyone that can explain how I would go about doing this. Or maybe some kind of visual studio plugin that will help me out.

I'm using VB 2010 and need to multiply 2 user input numbers in forms, so basically: TextBox5 = TextBox2 * TextBox3 That obviously didn't work but it shows what I want it to do.

I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).

I cannot figure out how to incorporate the number of days into the input box then get it to loop and count the number of times the User inputs in the number of days. Then I have to incorporate it into the equation to get the total distance D = MPH * Hours. What I have right now wil not count up the number of days and locks up after I input one number and will not add anything to the listbox. Because I also have to make sure that they cant add nonnumaric values and the number of hours per day cannot exceed 20. I have put things in and taken them out but it has been 2 days and I am lost now

I need something tje user can type in data to such a parts QTY cost etc. There are no predefined parts list so the user can enter any part name/Number and there is no limit to amount of parts that can be entered.
Does anyone have any idea what might be useful. It was thinks of a listview bu i can't see that you can type into that. I cant use comboboxs because there are no predefined list and i know there is some way to generate text at runtime (i think) but i don't know how to do it and i would prefer a clearer approach.

Trying to imitate a Messagebox - in that, a sub will not continue until the user "deals with" the pop up.
For example, in a sub, I want a Form to pop up, and ask a user a question, and give them 3 options. I want to make it so the user must click an option, and then the sub that called it can carry on it's way.
I believe I need a function to make this happen.

I currently have a windows service that is packaged up as an msi installer. However, during the installation i need the user to input their required filepath (to string) location. The filepath variable currently resides in my component class called MyNewService that is inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
Is there anyway i can allow the user to define the filepath variable during installation?

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.

I'm trying to write vb code to verify a password input by a user to known table passwords in access database. The form has a drop down combo box that has userID's that are selectable. I'm trying to get the index number out of the combo box selection and use that to look up what the password should be. With that information i can then compare the stored password with the password typed into the text box below the combo box. All of the examples i've found that direct me show the code in regular Visual Basic. I'm using Visual Basic 2010 with the .net architecture.

How to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. My script always begins with:
Code:
function Init(Quest)
Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.
Ex:
Code:
RegisterQuest(Quest, "Kill Zombies", "Heritage", "Firestorm")
end
This part a user would enter in his interface what would an NPC say if accepted.
[Code] .....
What I need is a few text boxs that a user can input "Kill Zombies" or whatever they like and when they push a generate button it will create a file with a .quest extension. All of the code remains the same except for the quotes that would be the user input from the interface. Basically everything in quotes can be changed by the user in an interface. I have created my own functions for when a user accepts, deny and complete a quest. The user just needs to input what should happen then click a generate button to throw it all together as a .quest file to be saved in his or her quest folder for the server to call on later.
I also have many other functions like:
AddQuestRewardFaction --- (Quest, Faction ID, Amount)
AddQuestRewardCoin --- (Quest, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plat)
AddQuestStepObtainItem --- (Quest, Step ID, Description, Quantity, Percentage, TaskGroupText, Item ID(s))
Etc
I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.

How do I determin if a user has given me what I am asking for in terms of data type.
Example if my prompt to the user say "Give me a number of double data type"
How can I tell that the user entered a double xx.yy?
Or if I am testing for integers and I get user input ABC.GH?
I know about CDbl and CInt and CStr but these don't work unless data is provided. Also how do you test if the conversion took place? Also how do you differencate between 12.00 being integer?

I'm trying to make a program where user can input data from a textbox into an array and when the user hit the enter key, it compare it to a data grab from a text file. Here is my code so far:
Private Sub TextBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox.TextChanged
Dim input As String
[Code]....
I got the part where the program can graph data from text file and put it into an array called "varia3". The part I could not get is allowing user to enter data into the textbox. When I run the program, the sec I try to enter a letter or number into the textbox the program ended.

So I'm developing a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic 2010. The user searches for data and fetches results, updates fields and some other CRUD operations. I want to provide a user input validation. Usual stuff i.e. some fields need to be always numbers>0, others need to be non-empty in order to avoid Null access on some objects and others just need to be some fixed strings.

It's been a good few years since I dabbled in VB and I'm very very rusty so any help would be great! What I'm looking to do is search an access database with user input and display the relevant record.I have a single table set up in an access database called school_info with the following fields and data:
Tres________DfE________Name_________Type
001________1234________School 1________Primary
002________4321________School 2________Secondary
[code]...
I've linked the database to my new project, connected the database and added the 4 fields to my form. When I run it, the data shows in the boxes fine.The Tres and DfE fields are show in text boxes on the VB form, and the school and Type are show in labels. What I really want to do is be able to manually type in either a Tres or DfE number into the relevant text field and have the other labels auto populate with the relevant data that's stored in the database table.

So far i have a really basic form application that allows a user to enter some information and does a small calculation, displaying all of the information gathered on the final form.
Im looking to try to save this information but have no idea where to start,im trying to just take whatever is in my text field and put it in a table row. I created a one table database in Access and linked it to the form with a button to try and save it.
I thought it would be as simple as tablename.rowname = textbox.text or something but apparently not and all ive ended up with so far is this:
Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.TblCustomerBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TblCustomertableadaptor.Update(Me.DatabaseDataSet.tblCustomer)
End Sub
I dont even think im close, ive just been fiddling with the predefined code in Visual Studio, trying import ect but the button just doesnt seem to do anything.

i have a access database with two tables, one for customer and one for booking.
I then have a form application i made in VS 2008 which lets a user enter details such as their name phone number ect into text boxes.
All of the information the person enters thoughout the program is shown via labels at the end, all on one form.
Would it be possible to then have a button that when clicked saves all of this information into the access tables into the correct columns, im sure it must be possible i just don't really know where to start.

I've worked out how to display charts in VB 2010 Express, but now I'm needing the user to input data into a spreadsheet/table that will be used within the program. I know that table is no longer available and neither is the OWC11 set. Is my remaining option then to use DataGridView? I know it is SQL based and I don't have much experience there yet, but I didn't want to commit to it if there is another method that would work just as well. The values that are put in by the user does not need to be preserved.

I need to get data from a text or excel file and input it into a windows program that I do not have source code for and cannot get it.What I am trying to do is get sales order data from one of our customers in a file and then read the file and input the order information into our sales order system by actually stepping through the order entry process so all the checks for item #'s, zip codes, etc that are already in the sales order entry software are utilized, basically so that data files integrity is maintained.
I am very green when it comes to programming, can anyone tell me if this can be done using vb.net or should I look into using another programming language.

I created a sql stored procedure that will insert data for me depending on user input. Now I would like to know usually I would do something of this nature
Dim con As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("usp_userinput", con) 'references connectionstring and calls store procedure
cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure 'sets default to be storeprocedure
lblMessage.Text = String.Empty
With cmd.Parameters
If (Session("UserInitials")) IsNot Nothing Then
.AddWithValue("@UserInitials", Session("UserInitials").ToString())
End If
End With
That is just an example how i usually approach calling the stored procedure in vb. However for this particular form I am going to have 50 or 60 textboxes which each one would require a session state variable.Seems a little tedious to have to create a session state variable for each textbox on the form.
