im designing an xbox 360 indie game and have a question. Is it possible for Visual Basic to create a gui from the code? Because i noticed that all my gui development at this point has been programming a windows form object.
I have created reports that print on my printer via Visual Studio 2008/VB 2008 Basic code. I want to be able to send these reports to other people via emai. I don't care how its done, but it seems that if I could get the report into Word 2007 the problem would be solved. What are your suggestions to accomplish my objective.Terry 01
If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
I am looking for some code which will convert some geographical information entered into text boxes on a standard form, (probably linked to a database for both storage and retrieval of the data),which will then at the push of a button generate a text file in KML/KMZ format for use on google earth.[code]...
I want to split this up into 3 side by side tables but have been unsuccessful in any of my attempts. Currently it prints one large table. The reader.Read is performing a really simple query that pulls a few names from a table.
Dim htmlString As String = "<table>" While reader.Read() htmlString = htmlString + "<tr><td>" + reader(1) + " " + reader(4) + "</td></tr>" End While
I have an assign ment that says: create an application to let the user enter his or her name (first and last name), then displays the Initial in Upper Case. FOr example: you enter "John Wow", then the Label will display "JW". I know that I'm supposed to use the Substring method. But to use the Substring, I have to have the exact location of the Leter that is going to be displayed in the Label.The problem is: the name that the user enters always vary. So in strnewstring.Substring(... , ...) ---> the number in the parenthesis would vary, too. Thus, I cannot put a number in there.So how can i create a code for this particular assignment.
I remember that C# editor has a powerful option that when we are developing in code and type a new method (operation) name for a class, we can create its body by clicking on ALT+Shift+F10 and immediately, it will be created for it's own class.
I am trying to make a program that includes checkboxes that the user may make himself.I want to create a new checkbox whenever I press Button1, and i want the text of that checkbox to be the text I have in Textbox1.
Trying to make it so I can type "Hello" in textbox1 and then press Button1 and it will then show a new checkbox on my form in a given location that i put.
I need to create a FileUpload control from the code behind page. I have this function:[code]However, even though I successfully use a similar technique for other form controls, my FormUpload doesn't get rendered to the page.I'm writing the returned FileUpload to a DIV on the page outside of my function.Update: It's sorted. Seemed to be a problem with Visual Studio. Closing it, relaunching and then rebuilding the website sorted it.
I want to make pictureboxes move from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen (easy) when they reach the bottom I want them to cease to exist (do-able). But i want to create new ones that keep coming from the top. create an endless amount of pictureboxes while running the program?
during runtime in my application, i added items in my menu bar from a database (.mdb).. but now, i cant figure out how to create the code when they will be clicked. im sorry for the bother, and thnx to those who may fix my problem..
I have a project where the requirements is that a end user will select a template, enter some information and then my program should create a wmv movie file that has the information entered encoded in the movie.[code]...
At work, we need to keep track of our new clients and until now we haven't had a good way of keeping track of them. I am creating a program so that we can just enter in the client information and have it save it to a file that can later be printed. I don't know how to save the information from the text boxes as a new file. Below is a picture of the window that will do this.
When the "Add Client" button is clicked, i would like it to add that information to a file so that we have a complete list of all our clients. What code do i need to use to have it save that information where I want it?
I have a MustInherit class with some MustOveride Methods in it. When i inherit form that class, I automatically get the MustOveride Methods or properties. My question is, I want to be able, to inherit from a class, get my MustOveride functions and methods, but then with some code already in it. I've once seen a .net class that did it, when I inherited from that class, I got the methods, with some comments in it.
To me the answer to this question will be stupidly simple, but I cannot find it. I want to generate child forms to do simple tasks from my main form. I want to be able to create and destroy these child forms as I use the main form. I decided to create a class of the child form, with its own constructors and destructor. When I tried to do this using the Class Library Module, I could not access the Windows.Forms class to create a form.
I want a PC to operate as a mini HTTP web server that can receive requests from local (WIFI) devices. I know how to resolve the addresses so that the URL of the PC will be known on the WIFI network, but I'm not sure how to get the PC to act as a HTTP server.
how to do this off hand? I saw a few things for Microsoft.Win32 having some classes but I can't find the reference for it in 2010, which makes me think it is depreciated.
Edit: Can't find Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler or Microsoft.Win32.Win32_ScheduledJob which are the 2 I see suggested to use.
