Forms - Combobox Formatstring Property Doesn't Work
Jan 19, 2012
I have a form created in VB.net. It is used to get some information form a user. The form is not bound to any data source.
A combobox on this form is used to enter a cost. I want the value entered by the user to be displayed using currency format. I have used the Format String Dialog that opens from the ellipses button on the FormatString property of the combobox and selected Currency. This put C2 into the FormatString property.
When I run my application, this format is not applied to the value entered into the combobox at the time the number is entered or when I leave the combobox.

I need to set property values with WMI but it doesn't work. For example:
obj = New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem") For Each objMgmt In obj.Get objMgmt("description") = value Next
That is supposed to set the computer description but it has no effects at all (and doesn't produce any exceptions). I can successfully retrieve value but I can't set it. The "description" property is supposed to be read and write, according to MS.
I created a simple user control with a label, and one property that allows me to set its text.I can call the property Text2 and everything works well, but if I call it Text it doesn't work.
I tried both this: <Browsable(True)> Public Overrides Property Text As String
I used the following code for displaying the data in datagridview according the to the selection from combobox1 and combobox4,, but the problem is that : it doesn't work perfectly with two comboboxes , it works only with the first combobox which be put.
Why can't you set the selected integer for the items in the combobox in the properties window instead of adding code in the form load event? I don't like to have to do things that way, I feel like it is less efficient. Should I just deal with their being no value property for combo boxes or is there a way to do it easier?
I have an issue with my .NET application and it can only be reproduced sometimes and only on client's location, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve. In the application the forms authentication is used. There is a login page to which every anonymous user is redirected. After user enters username and password, it redirects to DefaultURL or some predefined page. The problem is that sometimes when user enters correct username and password, it doesn't login, instead it just refreshes the login page without any error messages. After several tries of inputing username and password, user is able to login to the system.
See my login page Submit_Click code below:
Dim userName As String = tbUsername.Text Dim password As String = tbPassword.Text Dim returnUrl As String = Request("returnUrl")
I am currently making a game with multiple levels when you complete one level the form hides and shows the form for the next level. But the keydown event doesnt work on the second level. How can I make it work?
I have a test app driven by bluetooth serial events In my form load code I hide the cursor so it doesn't get in the way of pictures (fullscreen) When one event is called by bluetooth, it brings up a msgbox and the user has to click OK. I tried Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show() but it doesn't work.
I'm guessing it's something to do with delegates and events and the form, but the debugger doesn't complain at any point. It just refuses to show the cursor. How can I get my serialport event to show the cursor? And then hide it after?
I have the following code and I can't get the lost focus to work.
Private Sub txtSpeed_KeyDown(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtSpeed.KeyDown, txtSpeed.LostFocus
I am working on a project that uses lots of custom class objects.Before starting work on real project, I tested the object behaviour on a temporary project. And find that if i add the object to a list and combobox and then make any change to the object property then it reflects in list and combobox.But after using the same process in real project the change does not reflect. Why?Also, how can i update object property placed in the combobox.
for eg. Class X has property id and name created objX of type Class X and set id=1 and name='All'
I have been searching for an easier way to validate the text property of my combobox.
Below is a background of what I am try to accomplish:
I have a from that contains many controls, mainly comboboxes that are bound to datatables. I have these set up in such a fashion as to when the user begins to type, the values begin to show and auto populate the combobox. This makes the selection process easier to select an actual value in the list. But, as we all know, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Users still have the ability to type something that is not in the list. I do not want to allow them to leave the combobox until the have selected or typed a valid value from the list because I am building a SQL query to retrieve data for a later form. I don't want to lose the above mentioned functionality of being able to type it in. I currently have it working as follows, but there must be a more elegant way to do this.
I first populate my combo box like so:
CODE:
The part I don't like the most is that I feel like I should be able to use the list already loaded in the combobox data, but I can't figure out how to do it. So I end up having to reload it, this seem like a waste of time.
I'm trying to concatenate nonnull multiple columns from a database into the text property of a combobox. Right now, I'm receiving an "IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled name, address1, address2". The line in red is where the error is occurring. Here is my code for this section:[code].....
I'm working on a simple base form in which all the other forms in the project will inherit. This base form only adds 5 properties (at the moment) dealing with painting a gradient background. The problem I'm facing right now is when I change a property on Form1 (the test form) and click run it doesn't show that change. I also checked the .designer.vb file and when I make a change it's not added to the code behind file, I'm at a loss right now to why.
I have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.
Possible Duplicate: Datagridview doesnt work! I have written code to show records in a datagridview but it shows nothing. I have tried to debug & when it step into GetData function following codes
Catch ex As Exception returnData = Nothing If connection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then connection.Close() End If
become gray & it shows error sign. When I take my mouse pointer on it it shows message. It says "Cannot open database SUIMT requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'MY-PCJames'".

So I have 2 data files, single dimension, that I'm trying to populate two rtb. If I comment one streamreader out the other will print. This also works in the vise versa situation. Does anybody see where I'm going wrong with this? They won't run together.
Dim Alpha As New System.IO.StreamReader("alpha.dat") Dim Beta As New System.IO.StreamReader("beta.dat") Dim strLine As String
i'm working on a MDI application and need to view a ".PDF" files in a MDI child form, but when using the AxAcroPDF control it doesent work, note that it works fine when viewing the form separately from the MDI application.

Has anyone succeeded in creating a class library solution/project in VB.net VS2010 4.0 Net Framework for COM to run on WindowsXP Excel 2003. I created a dll which changed specific data in an excel worksheet. The dll worked just fine on the development computer but wont work on any other. I downloaded .NET 4 framework onto the target PCs and used RegAsm.exe to register both the .dll and .tlb files in the registry. That worked OK and the dll is visible as a reference in excel and can be ticked. The error message I get is RunTime Error -2147024894(80070002): Automation Error The System cannot find the file specified.
I also tried creating a Setup and Deploy project in the original development solution but this created just a vbproj setup file which the target PC cannot read (no VS installed), I hoped the project would create an EXE file I could use. Does anyone know any links that describe how to do this type of stuff as most links I have tried are either for Windows Forms projects are are way above my knowledge. Maybe someone out there has already succeeded with this sort of activity?
I have Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition. I'm using it to evaluate functionality before purchasing the real thing, but I'm having trouble. I want to build a DLL that can be used on PCs other than my development PC, that I can call from VBScript.
I follow the hundreds of examples out on the intranet and things still don't work.I have built a simple HelloWorld DLL with a function that returns "Hello World".I've been through all the stuff about making the assembly COM visible, and the threads about Register for COM Interop checkbox missing. One person suggested editing the .vbproj file and adding a tag to turn on Regiser for COM Interop (which was not needed because it was already there).
Anyway, if I build my project and run my VBScript:
Set testdll = CreateObject("HelloWorld.Class1")
wscript.echo testdll.HelloWorld()
Everything works great. But....if I copy the DLL to another PC and register it with RegAsm, the VBScript fails with a "File not found" error on the CreateObject line of the VBScript.
In fact, if I unregister the DLL on my development PC and then register it with RegAsm, the VBScript now fails on my development PC. RegAsm said everything was okay and if I look in the registery using RegEdit, things look good, but it still doesn't work. The only way to get it to work again is to rebuild the DLL (which in turn, registers the DLL).
I'd like to be able to build a DLL which I can be registered and used on other PCs (without requiring those PCs to have Visual Studio 2010 EE and without requiring them to have the source and build the DLL).
I am getting a datarow from my dataset and some columns can be NULL.So I am trying to check for this using the IsDBNull function, but it just won't work. I have tried almost every possible combination. Can someone please explain to me how to use this properly?ser is a datarow and GUID is a column with data type: unique indentifier (so a Sytem.Guid)
user.GUID.Equals(DBNull.Value) Then .GUID = System.Guid.NewGuid I tried using above, IsDBNull(GUID), guid = dbnull.value, guid is dbnull.value etc etc I am just getting this error: The specified Cast is not valid.
