Re-create The Database Connection Wizard Like One Used In Visual Studio?
Jun 27, 2011
I basically want to make this in my application, so our technicians have an easier time installing our software. So far, I made a form with 4 text boxes: Server name, user name, password, and a combo-box to select a database.Everything was pretty easy until the database selection code. Microsoft's wizard is very efficient, there's no wait time when the database combo box is being filled.[code]That code gets the databases just fine, but obviously if an exception happens the whole screen locks up and it might take a while to recover depending on what the database error is. My question is, can I make mine just as cool/efficient as Microsoft's?

I have a class project that supplied me with an Access 2007 DB. When in VB and go through the steps for creating a data source. When the Wizard comes up I click on Database, Next, New Connection, Data Source is Microsoft Access Dagabase File (OLE DB), Browse to Database File Name, Test Connection is successful, click on OK, then Next. A MSVS box appears "The connection selected uses a local data file that is not in the current project. "Would you lie to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?"I am supposed to click NO. When I do I get this "Wizard Form" "An unexpected error has occurred. Error Message: Cound not load type." I need to be able to go to the next part of the Configuration Wizard that says "Choose Your Database Objects" I evensaved the file as Access 2003, and it will not work.

I am upgrading a VB6 to VB.NET project using the upgrade wizard.I know this is going to give me a lot of grief, but I am trying to make the old application useable. I'd rewrite it if I had time but am currently finishing up a summer internship and would like to get something working.One thing the wizard is doing that I can find no justification for is renaming of random variables. [code] For the life of me I don't understand why this is changing left. It isn't a reserved name as far as I can tell, there is no other variable named left that I can find in scope, and renaming it does not create a compiler error. [code] It does this to seemingly random variables throughout my project. Anyone have ideas as to why it doesn't like some of my variable names?

I want to be able to create a tree view that can get its nodes form a directory on a computer. In the code below, I am able to get all of the files into a list, but I cannot get the folder correct. What I mean is in your user directory, you have sub directorys such as, Documents, Music, and Pictures. When you run this code, it displays them each as thier own node, not nested. I hope this makes sense.
[Code]...
Changed the code to the way spinion told me to. When I run this code I get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when it starts to try and add files to the tree view.

I was trying to create a visualizer for IDictionary or ICollection Then like the simple visualizer (without dialog; I mean the ususal string visualizer that appears when hovering the variable, see image below), I want to make my custom text, I want to cast the collection to its type's list (I.E. StringCollection to List(Of String) or List) and then I will be able to see it in the visualizer. Or for Dictionaries show to lists visualizers for keys and for values.how to implement or even how to start?This is something I thought about:
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Collections;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
[code]....
I want to use something similar for ICollection (or IList), IDictionary etc.Note that in arrays, the visualizer shows every nested objcet.This is actually what I want to achieve:Try to visualize a List and you will see that there is a private value _items, so you can see its items. I want to achieve something similar in collection and dictionary.

Alright, I've been taking this class in school for Software development, and right now I am working on a assignment my professor is having us do, and honestly, I am kind of stumped here. Basically he wants us to create a form in Visual Studio 2005. It has a group box with two Radio buttons, (One for boys, One for Girls) and a List box that lists the corresponding names of the Gender you selected with a radio button.Alternatively, you can click the Report button and get the list that way.
Heres a screenshot of how he wants it: He wants us to use parallel arrays to make the list, each name has a corresponding M or F. So far I have the objects all set up, and the I have declared the parallel array like this in the Declaration of the form:

I am trying to create an autocad drawing in visual studio with the code :
Dim strTemplatePath As String = "C:\acad.dwt"
Dim acDocMgr As DocumentCollection = Application.DocumentManager
Dim acDoc As Document = acDocMgr.Add(strTemplatePath)
acDocMgr.MdiActiveDocument = acDoc
However, when I try to run the program I get an filenotfoundexception and the program asks me to verify if the file exists in the specified location. The file does exist in the specified location.

I have a program I am trying to create in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and have a few questions as to whether what I would like the program to do is even possible - Here is the idea of my program:
I have a main form with a ComboBox1, Pic1, ImageList1, and Label1 - In my ComboBox I have 118 entries, and 118 corresponding Images in the ImageList control - Right now I have it set to show the Image from the ImageList when a ComboBox1 entry is clicked, by the Index number:
If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
Pic1.Image = ImageList1.Images(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)
Else
Pic1.Image = Nothing
End If
What I want to know is, Can I make it so I can add/update entries in the ComboBox1 and ImageList1 at runtime? Such as, have an 'Open' dialog to import the Image I want to add, and a simple InputBox to add to the Combo1 list? Also, if this IS possible, if I add Items at runtime, won't it mess up my Indexes, and then the correct Images from the ImageList1 won't be the ones that show?
I know, lot of questions, but I am trying to cleanse my mind of VB6, and focus on .NET - More complicated, but I like the appearance of the finished programs much better, without stupid additional OCX's

When he/she logging in into the system that information must be viewed by him ONLY. (authentication)
2. If user2 logging in he/she can't view the information of user1 (obviously).

In visual studio programming in Vb.Net you get a special autocomplete around functions. If you add a name in front of a statement the rest of the line is treated like function parameters.
strInEditBy dsInfo.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("plandesc").ToString()
strInEditBy ( dsInfo.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("plandesc").ToString() )
I wanted to add a = operator in the place of the ( but unless I type really fast it auto-adds the ( ). How can I turn that off.
