How To Populate List Box
May 10, 2011
I'm working on a project for personal use to make my life as an IT administrator a little bit easier. (Yea right)So basically, i'm creating a windows application with a form. On this form, it has a button, and a listview.When they click this button, it will load all "Windows XP run commands" into the list view. I also, have a on-click event to capture a click on certain lines in which it will automatically open said run command, or shortcut.
Here is an example of what I am working with so far. (It populates correctly, and the clicking event works like a charm. However, i'm just looking for a better way to clean this code up, or maybe, a better way to go about everything).Once done, I will populate this to the codebank if there isn't another similar thing out there.
On to the code:This is what I have for the form_load event
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
With ListView1
.View = View.Details 'Changes the view to "detailed" view
.LabelEdit = True 'Allow user to edit text
[code]....

I'm very new to VB.net/Vb2005. I just finished my first semester learning VB and I'm working on a few personal projects to solidify/increase what I've learned this year. Right now I'm building a simple inventory application that will keep track of individual users at my job.
The problem I'm having is in trying to populate a comboBox with items from a text file. My goal is that when the application loads, a comboBox will be populated with the names of users(located in a text file.) Upon selecting a user, the application will read some other(like users name, windows version, computer name, etc) data from another text file and populate the applications text boxes with that information.
I know how to go about building most of the application, but the problem I'm running into is how to use a text file to populate the comboBox. If I use an array or a collection for the comboBox data, then the user list will be lost each time the application closes. Also, whenver a new user is added, that data will be lost, because the collection or orray will be lost each time the application ends. Also, I don't want to use a database for the program, just a simple file.

Is there a way to get an integer value from a DataRowView? I have a list box with datasource set to a binding source. I would like to be able to do this:
dim num as integer
num = lstBox.SelectedValue
But I receive an InvalidCastException:
Conversion from type 'DataRowView' to type 'Integer' is not valid.
This is how I fill my list box:
myDataAdapter("SELECT CustID FROM Customers", cn)
myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Customers")
myBindingSource.DataSource = myDataSet
[Code]....
I have one list box this works for and one it doesn't, so far. The only difference that I notice is: the one that works, the Query in the data apapter retrieves and auto number from my access table, the one that does not work, the Query in the data adapter retrieves a number.
Or, is there another way I should go about this?
The application that I am trying to make is a form with a list box for CustID, OrderID, ItemID, and others. The CustID is from table Customers, OrderID is from table Orders, and ItemID is from table Items.

I have a dropdownlist that I want to populate with a specific value and specific text. I'm not using a datasource but I am manually making a connection and retrieving data in code. How can I populate this dropdownlist? If I read the data with a datareader and increment an array I only get either the value or the text. This is what I have so far, but it is completely wrong:
//connection string etc goes here
Dbcmd2.CommandText = "select dept,deptname from table"
Dim dr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader[code]....
How can I get this to work without having to create a class object for Department? Is there anyway or should I create the class object?

I'm trying to get a listbox to populate a list of processes that are neither running nor in the "blocked" list. This code is in a timer, so it also checks if the process is already in the list.
For Each proc In Process.GetProcesses
Dim allowed As Boolean = True
For Each item In Blked.Items
[Code]....
It is strange because this is populating the list, but adding the same process over and over again, even though I seem to have the checks in there.

(This a follow-up to a previous question. VB.NET WPF NullReference Exception)I have a TreeView with a parent node and two children node. Each of the nodes contain a checkbox stored in a TreeViewItem. I want the two children node checkboxes to be set to IsChecked=true when the user checks the parent node and I want the two children node checkboxes to be IsChecked=false when the user unchecks the parent node.
I have a for loop in which the child node checkboxes are stored in a list. The parent node's checkbox check/uncheck event should iterate through the child node checkbox list but I am having a problem with the childCheckboxes list in the chkbox_AllChecked function (the parent node's checkbox check/uncheck event). For some reason the list is empty. I think the problem is how I try to populate the list while inside a For loop. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

I want to populate a Combo Box with a list of names and from that have the contact information (address, phone, email, ect..) populate a series of textboxes. The list is roughly 20 names, but it could grow to a hundred or more. Since the contact information changes periodically, I would like a very easy way to maintain it (Excel or Access).
Update: I am just trying to understand whether I should use Linq (have to learn it) or is there some other way this should be done.

If I run my web service code, it generates a serialized XML with only one level, that is,ParentElement and ChildElement. My goal is to make it a multiple XML levels that even grandChild will show, as the sample output below. How can I achieve this using List ollection looping. Do I need to create several functions that returns List objects for each column of the dataset I have?
public List<MyClassEntity> ExtractEmployee(...params here...)
{
...SQL CONNECTION HERE AND SP TO RUN THE QUERY...

I have this simple class (starting out)
Public Class Players
Public Name As String
Public Sub New(ByVal name As String)
[Code]....
I'd like to be able to use players globaly thru-out the project. So if I navigate away from the form that created it. I can access it again.
Dim players As List(Of Players) = New List(Of Players)

I have a function in VBA that I need to convert into VB.net:Sub Crossfunction(ByVal Array1 As Decimal, ByVal Array2 as Decimal) As Boolean
Dim C As Variant
Dim Above as boolean
Array1 = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Array2 = Array(1, 4, 3, 7, 5, 8, 7, 2, 9)
[Code]...
Is this the correct method? And how can I convert the function and not get an error: Error 1 Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Decimal)' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Decimal)' when I redefine the Arrays as: ByVal Array1() as List(of Decimal),ByVal Array2() as List(of Decimal).

I'm trying to populate a List Box or Combo Box (either or, I feel like both would be very similar in how the code is written) when you load the form. Here is what I have right now:
<a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/funkyfries222/?action=view¤t=ForumHelp.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/funkyfries222/ForumHelp.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
When you first open the program it gives you a form with either a list box or combo box (not sure which one I want to use yet) and then an add button to add a name to the list. It shows the from where you enter a name and then when you add a name it adds it to a text file that I have saved onto the desktop. It keeps the names on separate lines and I want each line in the text file to be an item in a list box...
Here is the code for the first form:
Public Class frmEmployeesMeat
Private Sub frmEmployeesMeat_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
frmHours.Visible = False

I have several different lists I want to call. They all have the same format for the class:
id, value, description, order.
Instead of creating a bunch a classes to return the all of the many lists, I wanted to use generics and just tell it what kind of list to return. However, I can not figure out how to populate the classes.
Here are 2 examples of function in my calling code. This should indicate the type of list and the stored proc used to get the data:
Public Function getTheEyeColors()
Dim glEyeColors As New GenericList
Return glEyeColors.GetALList(Of EyeColor)("GetAllEyeColors")
End Function

I do however have a slight background with VBA particularly with MS Access, so I am not completely lost.I am recreating my Access database application in VB.net.I created a new project and added an Access database through the wizard, which automatically created a dataset for the database. On one of my forms I have, esentially, a search form. What I want to happen is have a text box, and as I start typing display a search result from my customers table in the list box under it. So for example, I type "A" and all customer names that start with "A" are displayed in the list box.I continue typing with a "p" (full string is now "Ap"), then all customer names that start with "Ap" are displayed and so on...
I did search on my own first before posting this and found a few tips but cant really get it to work the way I want. This is what I have... I know I would put this code in the keypress event of my test box, but just until I get it working I attached it to a button to search. (I basically got this online and not even sure its the correct usage.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
'Create a dataview[code].....
The item in red is where i get an error. it sucessfully builds and i open the find form enter a last name that I know is in the customers table, but I get the error "Cannot find Column ["whatever name i typed inthe text box"].So first of all is this the correct way of going about what I want to achieve?If so how can I get it to work?BTW the next step for the user would be to double click the customer in the list box they are searching for to open the customer Details form for that customer, so I would need an ID or Index attached to that item to be able to open that record in another form.
