View 1 RepliesI have been reading about ADO, SQL, datasets, data adapters etc and have gone into information overload. My next step is to create a simple data file of my own that I can manipulate, update, sort etc in VB Express. Do I need another piece of software? I read about MySQL, which I understand is primarily used to access databases on the net, but can that be used to create a simple local data file on my PC? Can you simply hard code something in VB Express?

How do you display the result, i.e. which control do you use? Tried label and textbox but both return the error: "Value of type [integer or long] cannot be converted to [textbox or label].
View 3 Repliesthis is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.

In my earlier post I failed to mention that my vb 2010 is the express edition. I know that report viewer is not included in the free edition. I downloaded the report viewer for vb 2010 redistributable and it installed fine. Where did it install to is another question, I can't find it anywhere. when I right click on the toolbar and select choose item, the report viewer doesn't show in the net frameworks components list.

how to do basic keyboard movement in VB 2010 express. i'm making a very small, simple game (as this is my usual method to self-teach a language) and i'm still getting a grasp of events. if someone could direct me to some place i could learn about this (and preferably not a "paste this code in your form") something simple as moving a picture box or what have you across a form would be great.

View 2 RepliesCurrently we are using a VB script macro created in word to create some fairly simple forms based off of data entered on a data entry form. I am very new to VB, and I have been able to create many applications using forms, but I have absolutely no history creating reports. I have been reading up on the reports, and it looks like they are designed to use with data sources like tables. I merely want to take either data from the entry form, or from data derived internaly from processing the user entered data and populate a defined report "form". I have been searching, but there is so much on printing reports, that I feel overwhelmed. I am not looking for the exact answer as much as a link or place to look for a sample for what I want to do.
View 2 RepliesIs there an easy way to set the tab order for controls on a form in Visual Basic 2010 Express? I saw some references to a "View / Tab Order" menu item, but I don't see anything like this in the View menu when I am designing a form.
View 5 RepliesI am new to Visual Basic. The only programming I have played with thus far is Perl and some Python in script writing for Paint Shop Pro. (if that is acually programming) I found a tutorial on About.com "from the ground up" with a link to download VB 2010 and when I tried to install the vb_web file I got this error:C:usersuserAppDataLocalTempSit24308reboot.ini cannot be opened. I did a computer search and found this file was not in the Temp folder. The install just hung and I could not cancel or retry. I shut down from task manager. When I looked in add emove there was not a Visual Basic listed. I couldn't tell if there were any other files that were added even though VB is not listed. There seems to be more C++ files (which came installed on my laptop) but I'm not sure if there are more of these C++ files.
I have searched for a week and cannot find a tutorial of how to install this program. I see VB 5, VB 6 and VB 2008. I also see a file for Microsoft Web Platform Installer, but it does not say if I need to download and install this file in order to download Visual Basic 2010 Express. I keep going in circles with my searches and always end up back where I started which is at the Visual Basic 2010 Express download page.

View 2 RepliesI would like to know the basics of roguelike development in Basic, Visual Basic to be more specific. As stated in the title, I have Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition (fully paid). I do know about variables, if statements, basic math operators (Such as addition and powers), advanced math operators (such as PI and Sqrt), nested if statements, functions, subs, and all of the other basic stuff about Visual Basic. I am most effective with console applications, rather than windows form applications. My favorite roguelike is ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery), which, in my opinion, is much better than nethack. I would like to make a game similar to ADOM, but I don't even know how to make the player move around the screen and collide with walls. I am also most effective with Video Tutorials, rather than written tutorials, just cause I'm not a big reader. I have seen most of thenewboston's video tutorials on Visual Basic more than once, and I have all of the basic stuff nailed down in my brain. If anyone at all can help me, or even team up with me in my VB.Net project ATOR (Ancient Temple of Redhold), it would make me so happy I would burst out in tears of joy! Btw, I have created a bunch of unfinished text-based games before in the game engine ADRIFT 5, so I do know the basics of game development.
View 4 RepliesAs the title says, I have a program written in VB.net 2010. When I use the publish feature it creates a manifest and setup file that install the program nicely on another PC, but I think the security settings are somehow wrong because it sits there for ninety seconds upon launch. The program works fine on the computer that built it. There is no CPU usage while it is sitting around.
