What would be the most clean & efficient method to make a page based interface, such as an installer?
I've had a few ideas, I could make a class for each control i'm going to use that has a Page ID number, and compare that against a global current page number, except I want it to be reusable, so that would mean i'd have to make a class for every control.
I have a user control that checks if a certain query string and session value are present then returns a boolean based on that, if it's true I want to set the master page. The page is throwing an Object reference exception when it tries to call the method EditUser1.UserAuthorization(). Why is this happening? I imagine that the method doesn't exist at that point in the stack. Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreInit

I just finish my first application, and it is runing very nice on my computer, outsite IDE.But when I put it on another computer or in a virtual machine, i get some error and it is not running.In my application i have only controls, no dll, no nothing, except one picture.I have to mention that i have win7 on 64 bit and i use visual basic 2010 Express with netframework 4.0.
I also want to ask you what i have to do to make an install pack that contains microsoft installer and framework.I want to make a setup file with all this included.
I'm currently developing an application for a POS Terminal using VB.net. Our project is approaching the last stage of development and I've been tasked to create 2 installers. 1 for Initial Installation, and the other for upgrade installation.
The project is composed of several elements. These are:
1. The application executable
2. Common DLLs that we developed
3. some resources (.resx and XML)
The requirement for the upgrade installer is that only those files with modification should be installed. (i.e. if only the xml or resx files are modified those are the only items that will be reinstalled, since the size of the upgrade installer is a consideration so we cannot reinstall everything).
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for my deployment project but I'm a bit confused about how to set the properties of each file in such a way that during the upgrade, only the files that were modified would be updated and the rest of the files will not be removed since I'm setting RemovePreviousVersion property to True. I have a hunch that I need to do something with the custom action but I haven't been able to figure it out. The upgrade installer setup is almost the same as the initial installer except that all files are excluded.I tried to acquire a copy of Phil Wilson's book (The definitive guide to Windows Installer) but its not available in our local bookstore and it would take too long to order it.
Basically while tinkering with the settings/properties there are instances where the dll was not updated and there are also times when the application exe was removed.
I already verified that the Product code is the same for both installers and that I'm sure that the version number is being incremented for each upgrade.
If I will be redoing both installers from scratch, how should I go about it?
I'm also confused about the Condition property and the transitive property.

When I load the report its show normal :
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + table footer + page footer
But when I click Print Layout Icon its show an extra page(page 3):
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + page footer
page 3 : page header + table footer + page footer ( this is the error)
I also try to print the report and its print 3 page.

How to get text from a word document based on the page[code]...
In my master page init sub I have a block of data/text being written to a control. The basic idea was that it should be available on every page (obviously). However, I have come across a situation in which I need this to NOT happen on a certain page. Is there anything I can do, short of making a new master page for this specific page, to make this work? I also use a basepage, if that ever needs to come into play.

View 1 RepliesThis task is a little out of my reach so i dont even really know where to start...I want a user to click the command field "select" in my gridview. I then want them to be redirected ( response.redirect()) to an input form that will have its various asp.net text boxes filled with data from that selected item. I also need the ability to do this logical process:
IF the form is loaded from user
selecting item in gridview THEN
''Populate controls with data from selected gridview item Else Load
[code].....
I have a bit of a tricky scenario. It consists of some partial problems for which I have individually found solutions, but I couldn't find anything that makes it all work together smoothly.
-Upon selecting an item in a datagrid, a new page loads with the details regarding that entity.
-The entity represents a product that can have any amount of variants (such as a t-shirt's color or size)
-I dynamically add dropdownlists to this detail-page that represent these variants (there can be any amount of variants, and each variant can have any amount of different values, each value or combination or values from different variants representing a unique product entity)
-Upon selecting a different variant in a dropdown, a delegate is called that will change the session variable to the productId associated with the selected variant and a postback is fired that will reload the page with new data based on this productId
The problem: the postback is fired BEFORE the dropdownlist's (OnSelectedIndexChanged) delegate is called. Since this delegate defines the productId in the session, the new to-be-used productId isn't known at the time of postback.
Result: loading the correct data in the page is always delayed by one postback. Each time I change the selected index of any of the dropdowns, the page is loaded with data based on the session variable that the PREVIOUS OnSelectedIndexChanged delegate of the dropdown set.
I have a LoadData() method that sets the values of all textboxes, fields, labels etc. based on the productId stored in the current session. This method is called on Page_Load.
Private Property CurrentProduct As Product
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
LoadData()
[Code] .....
It seems that I haven't been completely clear on what does and doesn't apply to this scenario regarding Page Lifecycle.
1) My dropdownlists are added dynamically, which works fine on the first page_load.
2) The content of the dropdownlists is defined by what entity's details i'm loading on the page.
3) What entity's details I'm loading on the page is at first(not-postback) defined by the product I selected in a gridview in the previous page.
4) At postback, this entity is based on a sessionvariable containing the id of the entity.
5) This session variable is defined by what item in the dropdownlist I select.
6) This dropdownlist dissapears after postback since it's not defined on the page, but dynamically. So is the event.
So my guess would go towards some clientside script that stored the selected value before postback, but then I would be clueless on how to get that variable to the server since the logic that retrieves the entity is in the business logic layer which is far away from this page..
I want to enable a photo in the upper right section of a Windows Form, but I can't figure out the way to set a photo to visible when one of the tab pages is selected.Right now I have it set up as a visible = true when the tab page is clicked (the tab page itself not the tab button). What I want it to do is become visible when the tab button is clicked.
If this is still confusing I can expand more. Not sure what more you need.
Edit: I'm trying to do it without placing the photo within the tab page.
I have written a program in Visual Basic 10 and all is well. I have published it and have been burning the result to a cd and installed it on various computers, however it is the click once app, which has been fine till now. What I need to do now is to have the program install the .exe file and associated files (non click once app) to a specific drive on a computer or network computer. I have searched the net for instructions on how to initiate the windows installer and have failed. is there a program that you can select the source files then point to the installation folder tell it to go and an installation package gets made that I can burn to disk.
