Select A Record (A Cell) In The Column 'Dog And Have The Text Of That Cell Appear In A Textbox?
Jan 4, 2011I'm using something call ultragrid in my program.The program works as a mini-record keeping area (Like any datagrid, really). Well, I am adding a history to it and it allows the user to see the last 50 records searched. They get a grid showing the records. This, thus far, works perfectly What I want to do is this: I want to select a record (A cell) in the column 'Dog and have the text of that cell appear in a textbox. This is what I've tried with no success.

It just doesn't seem to want to transfer over when I select the cell in the 'Dog' column.

Putting A Value In A Cell Via The Column Name When The Column Is Added At Runtime?
Apr 25, 2010I'm trying to create a datagridviewrow and add data to it at runtime. I want the row to have the cells correspond to the columns in a datagridview, so that when I add data to the cells i can call the column name (the columns are likely to change around, so i think the name is better to use then the index).I create the row using the following code:
Dim row As New DataGridViewRow
row.CreateCells(Datagrid)
and the column using the following code:
Dim col As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
col.HeaderText = "Reference"
col.Name = "Reference"
datagrid.Columns.Insert(0, col)
I would like to add data to the row via the following code (or something similar that uses the column name instead of the index:
arow.Cells("Reference").Value = Detail.Reference
However at runtime I get the exception Column named Reference cannot be found. Parameter name: columnName I have a sneaking suspicion that the cells cannot be accessed with the column name because the row isnt really attached to columns yet (the row hasnt been added to the datagridview yet. (I tried cloning the cells of a row and then adding them to the row but no success)?
Determine If Datarow Column Exists?
Nov 14, 2008I have a function in VS2008 VB.NET that creates a dataset and reads field values from that were loaded from a SQL Server 2008 database tables. The tables are from varied sources and in some cases particular column/field names are different. Some use a long name; others use a short name. I need to determine whether a short name or a long name is being used.Pseudo code:If row("ShortName") Exists then ReadDataFrom r("ShortName").ToStringElse ReadDataFrom r("LongName").ToStringEnd If
How would I determine if a particular column name exist in a dataset or datarow?

Oct 14, 2010I need to check a value within the registry. The application (Cisco VPN) is a 32bit app so uses Wow6432Node when installed on 64bit operating systems.What would be the best method of selecting which string to use? Checking the OS for x64, attempting to read one and then the other if the first fails? Or is there a better method?

Determine The Actual Type Of A ToolStripItem In C#?
Jul 31, 2011I am converting a VB.Net application to C#. Everything else is going great. Except this bit. I have a function which builds menus,sub menus and seperators from a database. It can build a MenuStrip or a ContextMenuStrip which can then be assigned to a form.
This means that menus can be extensive and conpmex but managed outside the application, which I also use as part of my security access model. All menus are controlled from the database externally, it also means I can develop visual tools (Treeviews etc) to manage user menus. The application uses menus extensively which is by design.
Programmatically I want to assign an eventhandler to every item that isnt a dropdown or a seperator
In VB I would do this, (works perfectly)
[Code]...
"System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem' does not contain a definition for 'DropDownItems' and no extension method 'DropDownItems' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

VS 2010 Determine Type In Collection In DataSource?
Sep 7, 2010I am customizing a DataGridView control. The DataGridView is supposed to be bound to a collection of some type (be it a List(Of T) or ArrayList or whatever), and the idea is that one can easily determine (at design-time in this case) which properties of the type have to be shown in the grid and which column header name they should get. One can do this using an attribute. For example, if I have a class Person with Name, Age and HairColor and I don't want to show the HairColor property, and want to show the Name property as 'Person', I would use:
vb.net
Public Class Person
<Grid.GridOptions(displayName:="Person", visible:=True)> _
Public Property Name As String
[code]....
I do this during run-time by simply looping through the properties of the bound type (in this case Person), retrieving the GridOptions attribute (if any) and checking the values provided. This works just fine except for one thing: I'm not really sure how to determine the type in the databound collection...
At the moment, I cast the DataSource property to an IList and retrieve the type of the first instance in that list (if any). If there isn't a first instance (the list is empty) then I don't know how to get the type... Often I know that it will be impossible to know the type. If someone is binding an ArrayList for example, then it's impossible to know what kind of items he's going to put in that ArrayList. Even the normal DataGridView cannot show any columns when databound to an empty ArrayList. However, the framework's DataGridView does show the columns when bound to, for example, an empty List(Of Person), or a Person array.
I'm pretty sure that casting the DataSource to an IList is not the correct way as all information about the type of items in that list is then lost. But I'm not sure what else to cast it to... ITypedList? IBindingList? I even considered List(Of T) because that's all I am going to be using, but besides the fact that the grid would then obviously only work for a List(Of T) I still don't know how to do this... I don't know 'T' so I can't cast it to a List(Of T)...
.net - Use Mono.Cecil To Determine If A Type Implements An Interface?
Jun 23, 2012I had a look through the documentation on the Wiki, but it seems a bit thin. How do I determine if a type implements a given interface using Cecil?

Determine The Type Of Object To Use To Store A Linq Query?
Jul 3, 2010I am using VB .Net for this, so I don't have access to var or this would be a simple matter.Right now my query is as follows

So I used this query in LinqPad to help me determine what the object would look like. I got back a IOrderQueryable(Of RSError) which then contained a IGrouping(Of String, RSError) for each grouped collection of objects returned by the query.However I ended up with the current object type of errors as IOrderedQueryable(Of IGrouping(Of String, RSError)) because of the cast error I am getting in VS.

I'm not sure how to get rid of the VB$AnonymousType_1 Part of the returned object.Am I even on the right track here or am I missing something completely?
Examine All Installed Services To Determine Logon Type?
Jun 11, 2009I'm working on a project that requires that I programmatically examine the ServiceAccount of all services installed on a machine (regardless of status) to determine Logon Type which will be used as an indicator of which passwords need to be changed on a machine for maintaining security.
If possible I would like to keep the entire project in VB.Net and Ive been looking through the API to find namespaces that contain classes to allow me to do this. Ive come across System.ServiceProcess which does allow me to get quite a bit of information about services installed, but I cant seem to find a way to get the Logon Type (I would guess that it would be returned as a System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount object).Ive also tried System.Management using ManagementObjectSearcher and ManagementObject, but Im not sure if theres a way to get that information with a WQL statement (I know next to nothing about WQL, unfortunately).
