Organize Projects Custom Controls In Toolbar As Well As Data Sources Panel?
Jan 31, 2010
I have a project with 150 (i counted) Items in the "MainProject Components" area of the toolbox panel.These 150 classes are mostly database related objects like table adapters, and datasets that i hardly ever use. I also have about 10 custom classes that i use often.When i need to access the toolbox, I have two issues that i would like to resolve.
1.How do i organize the toolbox to separate my custom controls from the table adapters and datasets?
a.I have created a custom tab within the toolbox.
b.I have dragged and dropped my controls into this new area.
c.All is well until I exit my program and re-open it. Voila they're all back in the MainProject Components" tab.
2.How do I force the IDE to instantiate the toolbox panel as completely collapsed?

I am fooling around with VB for a while now and it is not the first time I created custom controls to use in an application. The situation: I have a database application (FormView / not GridView). The form is designed the following way: At the left I have a Panel1 with TextBoxes and other controls to view / edit dataset records. At the right I have a Panel2 which contains on default a custom control (a number of PictureBoxes mainly) to view / add / delete pictures associated with the currently viewed data record.
On a ButtonClick at a special button on the ToolStrip, I would like to replace that custom control in Panel2 with another custom control (which contains a search with different search possibilities), so, I basically throw out the PictureControl and load a SearchControl instead. This is the first time where I actually designed the custom controls within the actual project. In past, I always developed the custom controls seperately in a new project and later imported the dll. However, my first attempt just does not work and I don't even know where I should start troubleshooting since I don't get any errors.

I created a simple custom controlled Panel for double buffering. When I use the control in my toolbox it works just fine, but when I attempt to add controls inside the panel those controls aren't staying when I move the panel around. My custom panel isn't acting as the controls' parent. I verified this by looking in the designer code.
I tested a standard panel on the same form and it works perfectly normal - as I drag the parent Panel the interior controls move along with it. It is only my custom Panel which doesn't seem to detect when another control is placed within it.
Here is my constructor
Public Class DBPanel
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox
Public Sub New()

Has anyone tried using controls from different sources into their application that uses winforms? Will these combination of controls work together?

I have a Data Repeater to which I need to add x number of images depending on their existence in the database.I need the images added within hyperlinks for Javascript functionality. In order to dynamically add the hyperlinks and images I have placed them within a panel in the data repeater and am adding them in the ItemDataBound event.The problem is that only the first image is being written to the datarepeater.[code]

When a user is editing a given piece of data, they're allowed to add messages/comments. These are stored as child records in a SQL database. Clicking on the Add Message button brings up a panel (pnlMessage) courtesy of the AJAX ModalPopup Extender. This takes some input and, when the "Send Message" button in the panel is clicked (I learned the hard way to NOT make that the 'OkButton' property), the message is stored in the database and an email is sent to the intended recipients. No problem there.
However, I need to be able to allow the user to add new email addresses (so long as they are registered in our database). I have another ModalPopup / panel combo (pnlSearch) that's tied to a button on the previous panel (pnlMessage).
The user is supposed to be able to add an email or click on a search button to populate a list to choose from.
The pop-up panel (pnlSearch) comes up just fine, but clicking the "Lookup" button (which instigates the search and returns a collection of records that the user is supposed to pick from) closes the panel.
Previously, I ran into the problem of having the Button.Click event never firing when I put the Button into the "OkControlID" property (the CancelControlID works fine since I don't want to do anything). Removing the "OkControlID=Button" line allowed it to work perfectly with the Button.Click event firing as expected.
So now I have the Search panel with a button for "OK" and a button for "Search" - but the panel should stay up and visible after the Search.Click does it's thing. Am I missing some property that basically says "don't close the panel when this button is clicked"? Of course, if I bring up the panel again in the same session, the results from the previous effort are there (the search results).

I created an add-in that creates a custom toolbar for MS Project. This appears as "Add-In" on a tab after "File" and under the Add-In tab is a custom toolbar.The toolbar that has 9 items, each runs a specific macro. This works great using the mouse.The problem now is that I must make it usable to a blind person who cannot use a mouse. How do I position to the first menu item (without mouse) when opened and use the TabKey to move thru the 9 items and allow selection by hitting Enter.

I would rather have the data look like[code]...

I am a novice to programming and am working my way through one of the more popular books on VB in VS 2008 Pro. I am havng a probelm setting up to add dataset controls to a form. I can establish a connection to the data base (a dataset is created and I can preview the data), but the table adapters and binding sources are not being automatically added to the form by the IDE. This seems to be verified by the fact that I cannot drag and drop controls from the data source window to the form.

for some reason my "data sources" window is empty when I open my project.Worked last night ,but this morning it's blank.Reads:Your project currently has no data sources associated with it.Add a new data source ,then add a new data source by dragging from this window onto forms or exsisting controls. What happened and how do I get this back to how it was.I can no longer open any project forms.

I have a bit of code that reaches out and grabs a series of rows from SQL Server DB. I perform an inner join to get some related table data. In the process I get returned the user id of the creator of the data. I then want to pass this into a query to get back a full name. I am having no luck figuring out how to do just that. If I use the data visualizer I can see the name I am after, I cannot figure out the call to extract it
Bindingsource1.DataSource = GetData("Select * From PURCHASE_ORDERS WHERE PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER =" & REQ_NUM.Text)
.DataSource = Bindingsource1

Currently, I am trying to make a table, which retrieves failed products and passed products from an Entity with LINQ.
Lets assume I've done that, but have 2 lists, A regular List(Of String), and a SortedDictionary(Of String, int32) (To hold the product, and the number of times the testpoint has failed).
Now, when I want to output them to ListView, in a Webform, how can I make it, so that List(Of String), will be output on the listview, and the SortedDictionary, be output after the List(Of String)?
EDIT: Although I could just add the SortedDictionary values to the end of the List aswell, but how would I go around doing so? Because I will create a listview with 2 columns, one which holds the descriptive text, and then a List(Of String) value. And the SortedDictionary would follow, requiring two columns.

It's been a long while since I've done any VB.Net coding and need to bind some data to a form. I have multiple tables that share some common primary/foreign keys and need to easily be able to update them.
For example, I have a table with an ObjectID, TypeID, AreaID, and several other fields. When doing my layout, I need the TypeID (found only in the main table) to be a distinct value in a comboBox, and in the ComboBox which contains the Area to be the Area Description (from the main table tied to the Area table via the Area ID).

I designed a form from dragging across tables from data sources. All in all, bindingsources, tableadapters, dataset & tableadaptermanager, I have about 40 objects in the component designer tray.I found out that on a few occasions, Im not able to view the form design because of corruption or something. Sometimes, I even lost a bindingsource object or even a dataset object which caused errors. Has anyone come across such incidents? Is it advisable to have too many objects in the component designer tray?

I'm developing a windows forms app, just upgraded it to use .NET 4.I'm VS 2010 ultimate RC.I'm running it in a virtual PC with 2GB of memory allocated to the virtual PC. I have windows 7 32 bit inside the VPC.I'm running win 7 64 bit with 4 GB at the host OS.Have a business DLL with about 300 of typed data tables.NOTE: The data tables are not in DataSets, we have generated the code for the DataTables using our own code generation mechanism.The data tables have been added as an data source (Of type Object)I'm running VS 2008 in my main OS. (Not a VPC)When running VS 2008 it takes 30 seconds to open the Data Sources window, the first time I open it.About 15 seconds subsequent times.Also when on a form and setting a binding expression it takes 10 seconds before the drop down list of available object to bind to comes up.
I have quite a powerful PC (5 experience score) relative to other developers at my company.This performance is a very serious productivity issue and makes developing windows forms apps very tedious.As a result of this VS 2008 is not very popular.The exact same slow performance seems to still exist with VS 2010. (Similar times)It could be the VPC but I don't have a machine to test this on and I don't want to put the RC on main main development machine.Did you expect a lot less than 300 data sources? 300 seems quite low to me for any real workd business application.

In VB6 I could embed a panel or picturebox containing controls or images within an outer panel or picturebox. If I moved the outer control then the embedded panel would move with the outer panel and stay in the same relative position, which is what I require. This doesn't seem to happen in VB.NET, the internal panel stays fixed in its location, even if I have pasted this panel within the outer container. Is there are trick to this or do I have to code to get the internal panel to move with the outer one? How does an internal container remain embedded within an outer one?

I need to do in other platforms but seem to be having some issues with VB .net 2008.I have a datagridview bound to an SQL table that has several comboboxes.the rowSource (is it called that still?) for each of the comboBoxes are SQL lookup tables that I've created and based on the the users selection in ComboBox1, comboBox2's datasource may change.What I want is, if the user picks "Dental" from ComboBox1, I want comboBox2 to load Dental plans (Which I have working, no problem here I think).And if they pick "medical" in ComboBox1, comboBox2 loads medical plans in comboBox2 dropDown list, which, again that part seems to be working.If in the first row in the DGV,the user selects "Dental" for comboBox1 and then a Dental plan in ComboBox2,on the next row, if the user inputs "Medical" in ComboBox1, the first rows ComboBox2's "Dental plan" info disappears.
The medical plan can still be selected and displayed in row 2's comboBox2 (so the changing of the datasource is working)If you then click anywhere in the first row, ComboBox2's dental plan appears again but Row2's combobox2 now no longer displays the medical plan.Becuase whatever value you choose, no matter if it's a medical or dental plan, the info gets saved in the DGV bound table, shouldn't it display the saved information from the DGV's source and not the shifting comboBoxes datasources?

I have a VB project with a large number of data sources in the data sources window. While the datasets behave well, the objects constantly expanded themselves to show all the properties. This means a lot of scrolling to find one.

I've downloaded the ODBC driver and the MySQL driver and installed them on my system (Win XP SP3). However, the only data sources that are showing up when I try to add a data connection are Access & 2 SQL Server objects. Is there something else that needs to be setup in order for Visual Studio to allow additional data sources? I'm currently running VS 2010 Express.

Right Click Toolbox--Choose Item--.NET Framework Components--Check on OracleConnection and OracleDataAdapter--Ok
Now double click OracleDataAdapter1 in the toolbox.Data Adapter Configure Wizard appears. Click on New connection.Add Connection dialoge box appears.Click on change.Change Data Source dialogue box appears.Here i am getting only 2 items:
1.Microsoft Access Database File
2.Microsoft SQL Server Database File
And in Data Provider combo box; only ".Net Framework Data Provider for SQL Server".I am not able to configure my OracleDataAdapter1 control by choosing above method.Machine have Oracle 10G Client and Server well installed. I am able to use Dim oda As New System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataAdapter() and it is working fine; but i wish to configure oracledataadapter by using above method. Moreover, it is possible for me to configure oracledataadapter in Web Developer 2005 by above metohd, but not in VB.NET.

I prefer having total control for data access, populating recordsets (now datasets) precisely via a connection string and SQL select (or stored procedure call), etc.Now I wonder whether I really should be using the Data Sources option which just popped up on my radar? From the little I've seen so far, it seems to bind an entire table to a control, whereas most of the time I only need a small number of records from large tables.Before I spend a lot of time investigating, I hope a quick word from you might help me feel happier continuing as I am, or whether I need a kick up the backside towards a Better Way.
