This is my first attempt at writing a program that accesses a database from scratch, rather than simply modifying my company's existing programs. It's also my first time using VB.Net 2010, as our other programs are written in VB6 and VB.NET 2003. We're using SQL Server 2000 but should be upgrading to 2008 soon, if that's relevant.I can successfully connect to the database and pull data via query and assign, for instance, the results to a combobox, such as here:
[Code]...
How do I execute a query so as to assign each field of the returned row to individual variables?
i have a combobox and wish to assign multiple values if possible, eg is i select WESTERN EUROPE i would like the values to be: western europe OR western-europe AND Generic as the combobox is used to search for these strings within a listview (which is working fine for the combobox1.text but the listview sometimes has "western Europe" as "western-europe" and does not find it.

I have a table, the color of the whole row depends on one of the two columns. Table: | ID | Name | Date | Ext Date |
Where Date color depend on the value, <15 is green, <30 is yellow and >30 is red. While Ext Date depends on value, >-14 is red, >-30 is yellow, <-29 is green and without Ext Date value will follow Date value.
I tried to put Switch in IIf but returns no color at all.
=IIf(Fields!countexten.Value="-",Switch(Fields!countdate.Value < 15, "Green", Fields!countdate.Value <30, "Yellow", Fields!countdate.Value > 29, "Red"),Switch(Fields!countexten.Value>-14, "Red", Fields!countexten.Value>-30, "Yellow", Fields!countexten.Value<-29, "Green"))
I am trying to assign values to controls in another form and I created a procedure(sub) to do this I was using myOtherForm.Label1.Text = "Value" but it is giving me an error saying expression does not produce a value
View 1 RepliesI have an problem to assign a startup form in vb.net. I have three forms:
1) Registration Form
2) Login Form
3) Main Form
Firstly i have set set startup form as registration in properties =>Application after registration completed or saved i am displaying the Login form by hiding the registration form. and entering username and password it displays the Main form. Now the twist when i exit from application next time i started to run my project where i can check if their is entry in registration form it will directly goto login form.

Case Keys.Escape

View 3 RepliesI've got a class where I pass in a panel reference and in that panel I'm then required to draw multiple other panels that represent my objects. The issue is that when I go to bind dynamically click events to these panels I don't have reference to the Form of which I want to popup on the click event.
The reason for this structure is so that I can redraw my class dynamically and reattach certain events to each object.
Is there any way to do this without moving my classes logic outside of the Assembly or is there any way to attach my click event to a piece of code logic to a sub in my WinForm?

Im using a dataset to display data in a datagrid from a sql server DB. One of the colums I have in my datagrid is "Status" the table adapter sql statment selects certain items based on whether there open or closed e.g "where = Open ". I want to remove this row entirely and instead of displaying open or closed for status column, display the open/ closed results in colour on the datagrid. Im really not sure how to go about this whether i need to do it in the table adapter or some sort of property. I presume i need to write a sql statement and selct the identity of the row where x= open etc , is there a way of assigning a colour in sql statement so it displays on my vb form ?
View 2 RepliesI have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.
View 5 RepliesI have multiple forms and have multiple declarations that I need for all the forms, is there a better way than declaring them each time on each form? Can a .dll do this, if so does it require the .dll to be a seperate file than the final .exe file. Or is there someway to reference the variables on other forms?
View 2 RepliesSo my question is that I have 2 list boxes in two forms aside from the main one. and I am trying to transfer what I choose in the side form to transfer to the list box.
several questions: Why does the blank list form I have in the main form create a problem when I enter a name for the list box and why does it appear in the box when I put it there? As you can see in my errors. It doesn't seem to recognize the listbox that I wanted to leave empty in the main form.
Second question is how do I get names to add in the main form list box. I believe I have the right code but I seem to be missing something else as well. I want the names to display in the main list box and the integers to add up together so I can separately figure the tax and shipping myself.
Here are some pictures and codes
Main:
Print:
Audio:
Public Class MainForm
Dim frmAudioBooks As New AudioBooks

How would i go about creating a "Search Feature". I have all of the algorithms to do this, but at the moment it's hassle for me to have both forms, and 3 separate buttons for searching. I think its more complicated than it needs to be. I was thinking about creating a label at the top of form and using the following:
"If label1.text = "" then
......
End if"
But how would i get it to get the value of the text box from a separate form, and make form perform a separate feature, if you see what i mean.
I've inherited some VB.Net code that I think needs some restructuring. The project has three forms, each of which is its own Windows Form file that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form.The problem is that all these forms share a common navigation menu bar that does not change as the user switches between forms, and so the original programmer has duplicated the menu code in each of the three files to generate the menu on each one! I figure this can't be right.
To restructure it, I thought I would create a base form that implemented the menu, and then let the other forms inherit from that, but I ran into the problem that Windows forms already inherit from the class mentioned above, and can't inherit from another class.I noticed I can add an item called "inherited form", but is that the way to go here? The problem of creating multiple screens with a common menu bar has to be incredibly common. Is there one true way to do this? Should I use inherited forms, or should I by have just one base form and make the other screens just plain classes and not forms at all? Or something else I'm not thinking of?
I have some VB.NET web forms that have multiple buttons (Submit, logout etc.) If I enter data in a textbox and want to use the submit button, if I actually click on the button it works fine but if I hit ENTER instead it appears the Logout button always takes precedence. How do I control this action as most people hit ENTER rather than actually clicking the button?

I'm developing a Windows Forms app that will be used to update information on 2 database tables.The 2 tables are related, so the ID fields in them will correspond. In the app, I'm using 2 DataGridView controls. THe first (Status Rules) is DataBound to a DataSet and visible when the application loads. The other (Status Flags) is empty and hidden. The user will select an ID field from the RulesGrid which will fire up a connection to the database and display the entry in the Status_Flags table that has the same ID as the value of the cell the user clicked.I thought of using a standard conditional SELECT statement to do this, but the Flags grid isn't displaying any data. My code Follows:
Private Sub RulesGrid_CellClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles RulesGrid.CellClick
Dim conn As New SqlConnection('ConnectionString)
