View 3 RepliesI have a simple windows form that i would like to send the values of a few textboxes and comboboxes to an rdlc report after saving them (I have VS 2005 standard, so no crystal reports) - it's as follows:
-1 form
-3 textboxes - textbox1, textbox2, textbox3
-1 label - label1
-1 combobox - combobox1
-5 buttons - button1, button2, button3, button4, button 5
the textboxes are labeled length, width, height the combobox is labled unit of measure and contains two options - inches or centimetres the label has text of "your total cubic inches/centimetres is:" - followed by the unit of measure selected.the buttons are labeled save, calculate, print, print preview, and exit.Having said all of the above, the save, calculate and exit button code is easy enough and is good to go - it's print and print preview i'm stuck on the solution i'm after is to take those values and send them to an rdlc report that immediately prints (calls up the default printer dialogue) without preview or anything when the print button is clicked and also have a print preview function as well for when of course the print preview button is clicked.The report has already been created with the titles mentioned above..
I would like to know if there's anything that can display data differently than what's stored in the DB.Here's my example. I have a column called Active and in the DB table, 0 represents Active, -1 represents InActive.In my report, when showing whether or not a listing is Active, I'd rather have the words Active and Inactive rather than 0 and -1.
View 3 RepliesI am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?
View 1 RepliesBasically, I am looking for a method on how to preview reports from a datagrid or it can be from the access database which populates the data to the datagrid (then displays this in the datagridview) in vb.net vs 2010.I believe there are two methods using the ReportViewer or using Crystal Reports, but so far, I have no idea how to get them to work. The first idea would be favourable - using the data from a datagridview (which may of already been sorted, filter etc) and be able to produce a report on that.

View 2 RepliesI have an XML file that I need to parse to generate a few reports. What needs to be done is pretty simple, but I have no clue where to start with parsing the XML.The application will do this:Click a button to browse to an XML file where the format is static. Once the file is loaded, parse the file and generate a report using specific fields from the XML file. Criteria will be based on State(completed or incomplete), activity(Inspection, sample, etc). Here is 1 record of the XML file. Each consecutive record uses the exact same format.

I can articulate my question well enough to get some clear and usable feedback here. I have reports (like paper reports) in my .NET application that have data bound to them. Typically the reports are a combination of many data elements across several busniess entites that may not all relate through an Inheritance hierarcy, etc. This makes it difficult to get all the needed data placed together to bind to the report.
So what I have done before are make 'Report' classes with data elements specific to supporting the reports they are bound to, and on the back end might be tied to specially created Stored Procedures that bring this data back (maybe several joins across many tables to get the right data needed). So if I was to make an analogy to the database world, I am essentially 'denormailizing' the data structure to get all of this data into a single class to make it easy to bind to the report.
However on the hard line OOP concepts and architecture design, one could say that a report is just another 'thing' to bind data to, and its class should not be designed just to suit the needs of data binding. In this thought process, I would actually need to make my class design be able to create the relationships needed to get all of the data together properly to still be bound, but not create any special 'Report' classes. I find this difficult to do sometimes. It is much easier to create these relationships in the back end stored procedures and then just output the resultset to be almost immediately bound to the report.
So what is the right way to solve this? If I create these specialized report classes with really no behavior, am I introducing an anti-pattern like the Anemic Domain Model?I could use some feedback, and please speak up if my question and scenarios did not make sense.

View 1 RepliesI am getting an incorrect repsonse after an update to a table. In my RowUpdating event I have the following code which builds an Update Parameter to call an SP to update a table. I must be doing something wrong but everything runs fine. My rowsAffected variable reports 1 after the update, but the table never gets the data.[code]I found a solution that is working. On the original DataSource for the update command I needed to add the following.[code]This in essence allows the original data source to call the SP. Note: that the command type needs to stay as TEXT not Stored Procedure as one might think.
View 3 Repliesi'm a freshman and was handed this assignment a short while ago and i'm having extreme difficulty figuring out why i keep getting the following error message whenever i click btnGenerate.Click on the form:Error1: Unable to apply this change while debugging. 'Private Sub GroupBox1_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GroupBox1.Enter' was deleted that modifies 'Public Class Form1'. You must revert the change or stop the debugging sessionBasically the assignment is requesting that we build a 'Call Cost Calculator' and since im relatively new to this i've never worked with strings before and also get the follow errors:Warning2Variable 'sCountryBeingPhoned' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.Warning3Variable 'sPhonePlan' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.

I reals because it's driving me mad and i'm honestly quite literally stuck and can't move on until i get this sorted.
I'm working with Crystal Reports in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.I have a List(Of Stuff) that I've sorted according to one of the object's members.I've verified in the debugger that the list is sorted correctly.When I define my list as the data source, as in
rptDetails.Subreports.Item("rptSubReport").SetDataSource(theListOfStuff)
and view the report, the list is reversed.So, looking for a workaround, I said, "OK, I'll sort the list backwards before binding it."The list still appeared backwards in the report.So something's happening, and I think it's within the report definition, because I don't know where else the sort order could be changed
I have created a data source connection to an access db by using the wizard in vs2008. I have then used this as a data source for crystal reports. My user would like to put the database on a network and reference it there. Is there a way to set a new path for this data source during runtime?

View 11 RepliesI have an application that I have in VB Express Edition 2008. I have an MS Access database (Access 2003) that I have created a data reference to one of its tables. The table contains 3 fields ID (Counter), Name and Price (text and double). When my form loads I simply want to read each record in the table and create a variable with the same name as the product name and assign it a value the same as the price in the table. So, record 1 in my table has Prod1 in the name field and 2.59 in the price field. I would like these variables to be created when the form loads and be available until the user exits the form.
It seems simple but I cannot find reference to a similar situation anywhere I have looked.
In the Form_Load routine the following line was generated via the designer:
Me.PricerTableAdapter.Fill(Me.PTODataSet.Pricer) assist if possible.
I wrote the following code to create dynamic controls-textboxes and labels.
ctlRow += 1
ctlRowLocation += 25
Dim new_ForceLabel As New Label
[Code].....
How can I access the data entered into these textboxes.
I am trying to input specific information on a form.I have created an sql statement from a table that will out put 18 rows of data.I have opened a recordset and instituted a do until loop.I need for the program to look at each row and if the Standard Score = the value of a field I have on the form it takes the value of the other three columns in updates it on the form.I have created the code and it works for upto 3 (Do Until loops)records, but when I try to add a 4th in the SQL statement and put in another do loop my computer runs it but it acts as if it freezes up.

View 3 RepliesI'm programatically creating labels in programatically-created panels, and have run into an issue--the label's information isn't completely showing! COnsistently only the first few characters are consistently displayed. I've tried bringtofront, but it doesn't work at all. And the characters stop well short of the panel barrier--does anyone know what to do about this? I used messagebox.show(labelname.text) to make sure it wasn't working properly, and sure enough all the characters I want are in the label, but aren't appearing.
View 2 RepliesI have a form that holds dynamically created pictureboxes. I have a ContextMenuStrip that is opened when the user right-clicks an individual picturebox that allows them to change the Tag of that specific image. When they click the "Change Tag" item from the ContextMenuStrip, a new form is brought up allowing them to change the Tag in a Textbox.
My problem is, I can't figure out how to pass the specific picturebox's (that was right-clicked) Tag into the new form so that the user can edit it and set when they click the "set" button. (Named "Button1" below)
Here's what I have so far:
Form 1:
Private Sub ChangeURLToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ChangeURLToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim myItem As ToolStripMenuItem = DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem)

View 1 RepliesI'd like to create a user-defined data type in VB.NET but don't know how to do it.Ta say there's a variable to control the action of a timer control. The possible actions would be "no action", "run timer", and "stop timer." I could do this with an integer (e.g. 0=no action, 1=run timer, 2=stop timer), but I'd rather create a data type so that the options are more explanatory than a simple integer. Like so....
Private Timer_Action as MyDataType
Timer_Action=MyDataType.RunTimer

View 2 RepliesI have created an application with 3 terminal windows for capturing data from 3 serial ports and outputting the data to a file. It seems to work well with one serial port, but when I fire all 3 serial ports at once, the application hangs. Here is the portion of the code that I believe is the problem. The code below is for Serial Port A. I have the same code for Serial Port B and Serial Port C
Private Sub ASerialPort_OnComm() Handles ASerialPort.OnComm

I am having problem with datagridview. Actually I have created datagridview control used to display the data using sqldatareader. My problem is that How can I fill the data in textbox control when user selects the row in datagridview using coding. For e.g. my form is having a) Datagridview and displaying values of columns: Name, Address, City, State etc and textboxes: txt1, txt2, txt3, txt4. Now if the user selects any row from datagridview the selected value of Name is filled with txt1, address is with txt2, city with txt3, state with txt4. I am directly dealing with database with using DataAdapter.

Trying to read data through the virtual COM port created by bluetooth.
The original console program (and the trimmed version below) was designed to read data from serial port COM1 and output the data to notepad. The program works; hook the bar code reader to COM1, activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, data input collected from COM1 and sent out to notepad.
The problem: Bluetooth is wanted instead of serial cable.
We disconnected the serial cable, we connected a USB bluetooth receiving device onto the XP. XP installed the bluetooth device drivers 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' and 'MS Bluetooth Enumerator'. Bluetooth detected the bar code reader device and created COM5 outgoing SPP slave and created COM6 incoming.
But now; activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, NO data input collected from COM5.
