I just have not been able to find the correct syntax for refreshing my form. The Labels are added to a shape container and I delete them from it as well. All code seems to work only there is a ghost of the label left behind.
View 1 RepliesIs there a setting that will allow C# to auto correct it's casing similar to VB.NET. For example when I type dim x as integer in VB.NET, it automatically converts it to Dim x As Integer, but c# does not do this type of stuff.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to figure out how to use the CONTAINS clause for the last couple of days, on and off.

I've tried replacing the "*" with parenthesis, percentages, and deleting them, but it always gets the same result. What is the correct syntax to use the CONTAINS clause within the .filter query or is there some work around or something that I am missing?
I'm running into some challenges with getting the syntax correct for XmlData in VB.
This is OK:
<Test()> _
<XmlData("//data")> _
But I want to add either FilePath or ResourcePath:
<Test()> _
<XmlData("//data", ResourcePath = "Data.xml")> _[code].....
VS complains 'Too many arguments to 'Public Sub New (ItemPath As String)'You'll note that in this error message VS shows there is only ONE parameter expected.However, if you type <XmlData( - VS shows list of EIGHT parameters are expected.
I am having some trouble getting the correct syntax for a bit if code. I am using vb to insert data into a db and outputting the data as XML, here is the code
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function addTrack(ByVal tTitle As String, ByVal tAlbum As String, ByVal tGenre As String) As String
Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=MARTIN-LAPTOPSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=mp3_playlists;Integrated Security=True")
Dim sql As String = "INSERT INTO Tracks (trackTitle, trackAlbum, trackGenre) VALUES ('" & tTitle & "', '" & tAlbum & "', '" & tGenre & "') FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS"
[code]....
The code is for a ASP.NET web service, when I click invoke on the website i get the error Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FOR'. If I remove FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS everything works find, db updates but I dont get the data to output as XML. I think the issue is with the brackets required for the insert values because this issue does not occur if the SQL statement is a SELECT statement which has no brackets but i just cant figure out the correct syntax?
Basically I have two forms - Form1 has a DataGrid on it (Infragistics) and in the double-click row event it creates an instance of the EditForm and passes along the UniqueId for editing. Once the user saves the changes (if they make changes) - I want the DataGrid on Form1 to refresh. Here is how I thought I could get this to work ... I create a public property called RefreshRequired as boolean. Before unloading the EditForm it sets this property to true. Then Unloads. This continues the code in Form1 (which showed the EditForm as modal) but RefreshRequired is still showing as False? Why isn't my EditForm able to set the property?

I had issues in refreshing a form that is bound to different tables in a database. Various forms allow the user to change and add and update information on the form via the database. I had created a public sub in that form that the other forms could call, after saving the data, that was supposed to refresh the data on the main form. This was not working so I researched the problem. I came across this page which pertains to Form.Activated: [url]
I placed all of the table adapter fills into this event, instead of in Form_Load, and it seems to work now, when the form first loads, and when other forms update data. My question is does anyone have experience using this and what are the consequences, if any, in using this to reload/refresh the data showing on the form?
I am working on supplier maintenance file. From mainmenu, opening first form shows records on datagridview through databinding. Clicking add new record, i fired a second form as my data entry with detail view through databinding, minus navigational buttons. I left the delete and save button only. Once through data entry, i save it on server. My problem is, how can i reflect the added record on the first form while i am on my second form? I prefer the new record be added only to the first form. I don't want the idea of retrieving the records again from my server.

I am trying to refresh a datagridview from a second form to display newly written data. I have read the posts on this topic and can't figure mine out. My first form opens and you input data into text fields, etc. and then you need to select items from one table to copy and write to a new table. The datgridview on the first form shows the new table, and I have a new form that pops up to select the line items to add. Everything works perfectly except when I close the selection form after selecting lines, I would like the datgridview on the first form to refresh to show that the lines have been selected and displayed in the datagrid.
My data is loaded into the datagridview as so;

I've been working on this game the past few days, a simple game where two people control different tanks, and shoot each other, very basic so far.The problem I have is when one player is dead. I have the form recognizing each players death by using this code (It's within a timer subroutine)
'Player One Dead
If intPlayerOneHealth <= 0 Then
btnReplay.Visible = True
End If
[code]....
and that code is replicated for every key pressed (Arrow keys, WASD, e, and end). Those booleans are handled in a timer subroutine, where if the boolean is true, they will move/shoot. (Turning the booleans to false is done in the 'Private Sub KeysUp' subroutine)
TL;DR How do I get the game to restart itself when a player dies and hits the replay button?
P.S. I've tried 'Me.Refresh()' as well, and that didn't do anything

View 9 RepliesI am working on a huge multiform project for my company, and one of the few issues I am having is that when I am on the Main Menu Form, then go into a specific form (i.e Sales Order, etc.), do updates, changes, or just view data then close the Sales Order Form, if I happen to go back into the Sales Order Form without closing the entire project, then the Sales Order Form will display data instead of opening a blank form like when I first opened it.
Is there something that I should be adding to the Form Close Event to dump all of the data or refresh the data adapters so that if I open the form again, it will display a blank form that is ready to be used like when I first opened it?
I have tried using;
Me.Dispose()
Me.Close()
when closing these subforms, but if I open them again, the data fields (combo boxes and text boxes) will have random data in them.
I was going through the example code on FTDI's website. After opening the device and setting the flow control to be RTS/CTS they send and receive data in the following manner:
[Code]....
Basically they set the RTS, DTR, then write data to the device. Is this correct? If I was sending multiple times to the device, do I need to clear the RTS each time? and then set it high again? or do I just set it high each time I send new data? Why are they setting DTR if the flow control is defined as RTS/CTS? As far as best practices go, is this the best way to read and write?
