To me it seems that Update, Refresh and Repaint all do the same job but there are no doubt rules about when to use which. I would be grateful for any enlightenment.

The values to set the colors and icons are in two columns of the data source table. And i have another var that indicates if the rows headers have numbers or not, just to help the user...

I have a project im working on in which data is loaded from a database using sqlite into a datagridview, one column in this datagridview is a custom rating column which windowsmedia like rating stars are displayed and when moused over the image is changed using the following custom column. When the mouse is moved in a cell the cell is forced to repaint and display the star image according to the mouse location in the cell.Now the odd thing is that this works perfectly when the data is loaded in with the SQLreader and added row by row, but when the data is loaded in using fill() using a datatable the cell will not repaint when moused over unless its row is currently selected or has been selected. Everything works fine loading the data row by row but loading time is much longer when there are 1000 items in a table.[code]
View 1 RepliesEnvironment = VB.NET 2005 & Pervasive SQL 9.5 ADO.NET In a simplified example, I have single database table (customers) with the columns "customer_code_PK" and "customer_name" This table is presented in VB.NET 2005 as a single form datagrid (bindingsource/dataset). In this example, the database table is populated with the following data
customer_code_PK customer_name
SHELLShell Oil
BPBritish Petrolium
MOBMobile
In very simplified terms, code does the following;
sub on form load
fill dataset with database records (select * from customers)
[code]....
The datagridview loads the records correctly.Here is the sequence of operations that produces the bizzar behaviour.In the editable datagrid;
1.remove the row with PK = MOB -> save_button -> Database correctly updates
2.add a new row with PK = KFC -> save_button -> Database correctly updates
3.remove row with PK = SHELL -> save_button -> Database exception occurs
On this last command, the row SHELL is INSERTED!!, not removed.However, If I change ths save_button routine to this
save_button
call generate_custom_updateinsertdeletecommands
bindingsource endedit
[code]....
It works correctly !Is it correct that you would need to "refresh" the sql update commands after every tableadapter.update?
I have a main form with player information (it's a sports application). To add or edit a player the user presses a button which opens another form. They either add or edit from this point. When they click 'OK', it saves the data to the database table then goes back to the main form. The amended or new info doesn't appear. If they close the application, then reopen, the new info appears in the datagrid now.
how I can get the datagrid to refresh once I press 'OK' on the input form?
How can i trigger my update panel to refresh after a certain period of time.

I know the delete statement works because I saw the changes in the database. If I close the form and reopen it, the dataGridView is up to date.
The membres table is an access table
I'm running the app in visual 2010 debug mode.
I am trying to update my form once the delete button is clicked. There are several fields like Name, Date, Date of Birth and so on. Once I delete record I want the form to automatically load with new / updated data. This form fetches data from MS Access using OLEDB. Once when I close the application and reopen then form will be updated with new values. But I want this to happen once the form loads after deleting.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm making a game using vb.net and GDI+. I've been encountering frame rate problems and one solution that was suggested to me was to only refresh certain parts of the screen. I was also told one way to make this happen was to use rectangle or region structures and since I already have these as hitboxes it seems like a perfect way to efficiently reduce the drop in frame rate.
The only problem is that I have no idea how this would work and so far my google searches have been fruitless. Yet again I turn to this very helpful forum, can anyone help me? By the way I've set doublebuffered to true on my form to get rid of the annoying flicker.
Questions. How do I update or refresh only certain parts of the screen?
I'm using a timer set to tick every millisecond to run everything and it refreshes the screen every 2 milliseconds simply using me.invalidate; each time it ticks things move a little bit and stuff happens that triggers other events etc. The problem is that when the framerate supposedly "drops" things start to change. "Bullets" and projectiles appear to travel many times faster and much less smoothly than they do when there a less objects moving on the screen, it's almost as if the timer runs faster... What's the reason for this? Is there a way I can change this? I remember hearing about a "stopwatch" or something that someone used in their game that was more consistent or something.
Also I'm aware that vb.net with GDI+ isn't exactly the best language to make a video game in but it's for a school project and I have no choice in the matter.
how would i go about resetting or refreshing a table adapter before it fills a data grid view (load event). As i have tried a number of things to get it to refresh but it seems that the data connection to the Database is simply not closing and re- openingwould i have to program it to be a manual thing to retrieve the data from the database or am i just not doing it right

View 2 RepliesFor some reason my tab pages won't update their data when I change the data contained in them. I have to scroll to the next Company and then scroll back for the changes to be reflected in that particular tab. I have no clue why this is as when I walk through my code in debugging, it shows that the appropriate labels are being set the appropriate values. But if I have one of the tabs as the one in focus when I change my company, it is updated correctly.
View 2 RepliesImagine you expand onto 'Sofas and armchairs' and click 'fabric sofas', it will redirect to next page on click and it will send data '10661' to the next page. Then the listview will updated with reference '10661'. After that click on another link, maybe leather sofas. The listview will re-update table with new reference '10662'

how to trigger a refresh on a form when an update occurs in my business logic.
This isn't an issue for 95% of my forms because they call the update from the form that needs to be updated. However, In some cases an inner form does and update that requires an outer form to reflect this. I've read about Handles, Delegates, AddressOf etc etc and I'm drowning in options.
In simple terms, I need three things to happen
1. Form2 (inner form) has updated info, so the user clicks Save
2. Save calls my Data Access Layer and updates the database
3. Form1 (outer form) has a DataGrid that needs to be notified so it can update via a Sub LoadGrid
It's stage 3 I can't do. How do I trigger a Sub in Form2 (LoadGrid) to do the refresh from an external class.
I have a windows form with a DataGridView control.I bound it into an attached DB file (.mdf).I perform insertion by generating a dynamic Insert statement. I then pump this sql statement into a SqlCommand object and perform ExecuteNonQuery() method. All of these is performed by handling a Button click event. The button and the gridview is located on the same form.
Public Sub InsertRow(ByVal param1 As String, ByVal param2 As String, ByVal param3 As String)
Dim strConn As String = (the connection string)
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection(strConn)
[code]....
After the code execution, the DataGridView is not updating (remains intact). I have to exit the form and reload it to have the updated gridview.For certain reasons, I can't use DataTable object.But I would like to have this gridview updated everytime I run the insertion.
I have an aspx page which is made of 3 user controls (ascx). I have an update panel wrapping the 3 user controls like this:

I recently created a very simple project in VB express 2008 to interface with a COM object from an external vendor. I then downloaded the VS2008 90 day trial and found that the identical code in a VS2008 project results in a COMException error "Object is out of scope". Is anyone aware of any differences in how the two packages handle COM object interfaces as I have run out of ideas. Both projects have identical code and all the references are the same. The CreateObject() method correctly creates the object, but any attempt to access methods inside the COM object result in that error. I can even open the VB 2008 Express project inside VS and it still generates the same error.
Here is the code - the vendor dll in question is from Siebel v8.0.0, you'll notice that I have commented out most of the code that comes after the error. Creating a watch in the debugger on the siebApp variable sees it correctly created as {System.__ComObject}type SiebelHTMLApplication. I first tried this by creating the Property Service for variable siebSvcs, but after I started experiencing the COMExceptions, I reverted to using the most basic method inside the COM object I was creating.

I have a datagrid view containing a customer list that if if double click on a row it brings up a customer maintenance window. Once I hit a save bottom on the second form how can I automatically update the database, refresh the grid on the initial window but remain on the same row on form1 that I double clicked on in the first place. Currently I am re-loading the datagrid on the initial form with all the data once I close the second window down.
