Choosing The Right Control For Developing Windows Application
Dec 24, 2009
I am looking for a contol either listbox or listview to support my requirements. Basically how my application looks is:
[Code]....
Having said these things. I used to program in VC++6, VB6. But using those version now seems not realistic now as I lost touch. But if I have to use the latest 2008 versions, for which I do not have any experience seems scary. So, If you are reading this , and you have got some experience in these fields or using controls that support my requirement, can you please let me know which programming language or IDE and Control should I use to develop this application. PS: the image is made using mspaint and does not represent actual program.

I'm trying to design a windows form application. By default, .NET had put Tahome 8,25 on toolbar and Microsoft SansSerif 8,25 on everything else. To improve general look and feel of the forms I'd like to change them.
Which font family should I use as a default? And what size should they be?
For:
Classic data input form (label + textbox, label + combobox...)
Data grid
Is there any recommended way?
Application is a classic business app, you can think of it as an accounting type.

I am in the process of developing a messaging framework for a windows application that sends messages to a java application. To be precise when the win app wants to send a message it simply drops the message in a common database table which will be picked up by the java app. The windows application is deployed across 10 application servers (10 instances) over citrix for load balancing.Each instance of the application is capable of sending a message to the java application and each of these messages should have a unique id. From my end I need to make sure every message generated has to carry a unique id so that they can be identified when necessary. All the messages can be cleared every day or two.i am not quite sure about a best method of achieving this. Initially I wanted to create a static method that serves the next available id (incrementing the last id by 1). But this approach willn't guarantee unique number as the application starts only when at least one user is logged on. For e.g .On one server the app starts when a user logs in, he then sends a message and then the application stops when that user logs off. So when a next request for the app comes to that server a new instance will be started.

Iam developing a Windows application using Visual Basic 2008 with a SQL Server database. Throughout the program I give the user as many options as possible and have no problem with either the database or the windows forms. The program does not initially require a Login and I want toprovide the User with the opportunity to add a Login to the system. The default Login form is perfectly satisfactory.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to program the change sothat the Login from isopens the program rather then th form designated as the StartUp form. this forum I am able to prgrammatically change the form but I can't figure out how to make the requirement a permanent factor. I tried using a Constant, but if the User wants to change, you can't change the constant. Its an apparantly simple yes/no situation but if I set a varable to yes and then change it to no the next time the program runs, the change will be lost.

So say I have a dropdown control, and after the user uses the drop down, I want a checkbox and label to appear, AJAX style, without a full postback.
How can I implement something like this? Examples of code (or links to them) would be great.
I played around with this some using updatepanels but I can't get it working right...

I have a VB.NET application with a connection to an SQL Server 2003. On the server there are two databases, MyDatabase and MyDatabase_Test. What I would like to do is to show a dialog when the program starts that let's the user choose which database to use. My idea is to create a new form as the starup form that sets this property and then launches the main form.Currently the connectionstring is specified in the application config file. Best would be if I can specify two different connection strings in that file to choose from, but for now it is also acceptable with other solutions like hardcoding the two connectionstrings into the startup form.EDIT: In the dataset.xsd file there seems to be the relevant part
<Connections>
<Connection AppSettingsObjectName="MySettings" AppSettingsPropertyName="MyDatabase_ConnectionString" ConnectionStringObject="" I

I am looking for best practice for developing new application. Our company has developing VB6 application for customers about 10 years. This application has mostly math calculations and works with MS Access DB. Now we are looking for method how we can develop WEB application with ability to client to download application for local work. Some of customers does not use internet at all from security reasons. So the WEB solution only not enough for US. I understand that WEB and Win.Forms have different user interface, so I am looking for best practice to create engine for both platforms(Web and Forms) . The main task for us is minimization of maintain and designing. Is there any technologies can be used in web and desktop app at the same time(like dll). I do not know how to make next step in order to estimate this project.

I am trying to develop a chat application using Visual Basic 2008. I have referred some articles on the internet like [URL]...rogramming.htm and got the concept of connecting and sending data. But when it comes to real world chat applications, there is user authentication and all that. So I was wondering if it is possible to make my own Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger!!. I searched web for such a sample or source code, but could not find any. Has anyone here created such an application??

I am developing an application using VB.Net which is a simple executable which is to be run from a network drive of our company servers. Most users can access this executable without issue - others however can open the executable but have no connection to our database (even though when running the executable off a local drive such as C:, the database works no problem).
From some posts I have seen this might be a CAS issue - however our IT department suggest the issue might be down to different version of the .NET Framework being to blame. Firstly, is this the issue? Secondly, how can I develop my application to work with different versions of the .NET Framework? Surely this doesn't mean developing many different executables?

I'm about to start a new project and want some advice on how to implement.I need a web application which contains a booking module for reserving timeslots, and a time management module which will enable employees to clock in / clock out.
If I am writing an update to the time managment module, I don't want to disrupt the booking engine availability by releasing a new solution containing both modules.to make things more difficult, there is some shared functionality like common users, roles and security.Here's a suggestion I've gotten, which sounds a bit cruddy, but may be functional.Write a 'container' web application which consists of basically a frame, and authentication / security features. This then has links which, will load the 2 independantly built and released web applications into the frame.I can see that say, if I wanted to update the time management module,
