View 1 RepliesI have a Windows Form application with a form that has an underlying data set. When the users click a particular button, the code clears some fields on the form but also is suppose to update a value in the underlying dataset on a field that is NOT displayed on the form.
In VB6 and VBA this is very easy to do. I simply says Forms!formname!NameOfUnderlyingFieldNotshown and pass it the value. How do I do this in VB.net with a Windows Form and underlying dataset?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a form which will be fed by an underlying database to create multiple form fields for each entry in an underlying database table. This is for a program to monitor patients under anesthesia, and prior to surgery, the doctor will choose which monitors they will be using. Then, on the actual monitor screen which will pop up every X minutes, there will be a text box and a check box for each chosen monitor. I am relatively new to VB, so I have tried to illustrate what I am needing but using the logic that I know from my previous life in PHP.
I am using DevExpress's layout control to place the form fields, so that is the code in the middle of the first loop (on_load), and I know that part works, I just need to know how to name the fields and then recover those fields and commit the values to the database. (the text boxes are added to the database, the check boxes are used to determine if an entry is made for that monitor- i.e. at the end of surgery if a monitor is turned off). I know that my syntax for naming the fields is no where close to correct, and it probably would not work in PHP, but I remember doing something like this in a PHP application I built long ago. [Code]
I have written my and in a test class for vb.net and it works as follows:
A stored procedure is executed and the result is saved in an xml file with the help of a dataset. What I need to do now is , Information of this dataset should also be redirected to a textbox in a form so that I can copy this information in clipboard and create dynamic assert statements for instance I want
datatable.rows.count,
datatable.columns.count,
datatable.columns(i).ColumnName,
and same to get columnType. All of this info would be shown in the form but I am unable to open a form in NUnit test class.
I have a datagrid view in my windows form which is bound to a datatable. one of the column have the status code and i want to display the status description of the same which is defined in an array.can we have display text and value of the column different. i dont want to go with datagridcombobox column.

Is there something like VBA's ScreenUpdating=Off in VB.Net? I mean, I want to manage the underlying data and wish it would not reflect on the screen until the end.
View 7 RepliesI am retrieving data from my database using a TableAdapter. I was wondering if there is some way I can tell (or be informed) that the data has changed and I therefore need to do another Fill? That way I can just Fill on demand rather than every time the user requests to see the information and I am forced to do a Fill before showing the data because I don't know if is current or not. For the record I am using an ODBC connection string to access a Pervasive PSQL database
EDIT I was thinking I could check the last write time of the MKD file to check if this has changed but this doesn't seem to be reliable as it is not written to until the connection is closed. Does anyone know the circumstances when this is written?
I need to force a DataGridView cell to update the underlying DataTable.I fill a DataTable using my adapters Fill method, then set that DataTable as my DataGridView's datasource. Lets say one of my DataGridView columns is a CheckBox column.If I left-click a checkbox in the first row and then left click a different row in the DataGridView the underlying DataTable_RowChanged event fires, which tells me the first edit I did has gone to the underlying DataTable.If I left-click the checkbox in a row and then right-click the column header to display my context menu the DataTable_ RowChanged event doesn't fire because the DataGridView row is still in edit mode.I've tried Me.DataGridView.EndEdit(),but that doesn't cause my RowChanged event to fire,I need to ensure my underlying DataTable matches the data in the DataGridView, because I am getting a subset of my original table.[code]
View 5 RepliesI've got a databound query in my application which is querying the "Customers" table in our database.I've created this directly from the ComboBox's datasource creator in the Design view.Various bits of code created in the designer include:
Me.CustomerBindingSource.DataSource = Me.CustomerDataSet
Me.ComboBox_Customers.DataSource = Me.CustomerBindingSource
What I've done in the first stage of developing this feature is to show my users a ComboBox showing a specific subset of the customer list by applying a filter to the BindingSource.
Me.CustomerBindingSource.Filter = "someColumn = 3"
What I want to do on a second pass is to allow the users to type a specific bit of information into a textbox and check whether it appears in Me.CustomerDataSet like so:
Dim x As IEnumerable(Of CustomerDataSet.customerRow) = From cust In Me.CustomerDataSet.customer Where cust.custno.Trim = "test"
If x.Count <> 0 Then
At this point, I have a customerRow object. I want to check whether this customerRow object appears in the list presented to users in Me.ComboBox_Customers via the filtered Me.CustomerBindingSource. Me.CustomerBindingSource does not (directly) contain customerRow objects, it contains Object objects.How do I find out whether Me.CustomerBindingSource contains the customerRow object at whatever lower level?Also Once I've determined that Me.CustomerBindingSource contains the item, how do I select that entry in the ComboBox?
I have a button on the page and a gridview with checkboxes on the first column. The gridview is bound to a List. On buttonClick, I need to retrieve the underlying bound data item (MyEntity) for each selected row. How can I do this? I can't simply recreate MyEntity based on the gridview columns, because I am not displaying all the fields of MyEntity. I need a way to get a hold of MyEntity based on the key (MyEntityId).
View 2 RepliesI've written a custom class MyClass and marked it with the <Serializable()> attribute. I have a set of binary files on my hard drive that I've serialized using BinaryFormatter that came from instances of MyClass.
I've recently changed the structure of MyClass slightly (added some properties, deleted some properties, changed a few methods, etc).
What happens when I try to deserialize the existing objects to this changed class using the code below? I've tried it and not had an error thrown or anything - but surely it can't deserialize properly when the class has changed? Is there a way I can get some useful information out of the serialized files even though I've updated the class?
Here's the code I'm using to do the serialization:
Public Sub serializeObject(ByVal obj As Object, ByVal outFilename As String)
Dim fStream As FileStream

I have an object databound to a WinForm. One property, BOLNumber is bound to a textbox on the form. When you change the value in the form, the underlying BOLNumber property is changed. But the property setter does some "formatting" to the value. I want to BOLNumber textbox to reflect the changes to the value made in the property setter immediately upon the textbox losing focus. I tried implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged interface, but I am either doing something wrong or misunderstanding something it would seem. How do I get the databound control to reflect the changes to the underlying data source?
Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler _
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
Public Property BOLNumber As String

I'm looking for a simple example in VB2008 code.I have the Northwind DB installed on one of our SQL servers.
I've worked with the Datagridview on serveral occasions but never used its update,delete or add functions. I've Googled around the web, but could not find a simple example.
Whats the best way to do this and implement it using LINQ?
find the underlying DataGridView (DGV) when responding to a Right Click on a ToolStripMenu (TSM).I have several DGV's all using the same ContextMenuStrip (CMS) [DGV.ContextMenuStrip=CMS]I have six ToolStripMenuItems under the CMS. I thought I could just add a unique handler for each of the ToolStripMenuItems and be a happy camper on each Right Click...But I cannot figure a way to decode the underlying DGV. There doesn't seem to be any relationships between DGV and TSM and none between CMS and TSM.Is this path a dead end? If so how should one do it? FYI my DGV data is unbounded.
View 7 RepliesI'm working on a browser, and I can't seem to get it to show the current URL in my textbox. I have tried this code:
Private Sub Form_Load()

Url.Text = CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).LocationURL
End Sub
But I keep getting the error "'LocationURL' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser'"
I need it so that it changes according to tab. I think it might use the
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), code but I'm not sure.
Is it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?

I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
Im trying to create a stopwatch in one form and another form show my progress bar using a combo box for mins and seconds to show the progress bar on form1 1

I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.

Re DataGridView Sorry don't really have any code - just a whole project. Basically I changed the underlying Access (accdb) Table by adding a new field, The new field shows up in the DataSources section of the Solution Explorer and in the "Edit DataSet with wizard" page but when I attach the binding source to a datagrid view, the new field is not there. I also created a new bindingsource but still not there.I just noticed I've another table where I changed the names to something more meaningful, and the old names are still there and the data for those fields doesn't display in the DataGridView
View 2 RepliesI'm currently working with a gridview that has a huge underlying dataset.I'm almost certain that I saw something about a new facility in Visual Studio 2010/.NET 4, which would improve the performance (e.g. doesn't download all the data on databind, but rather only what data required for current page). My guess would be that it was using AJAX.I didn't need it at the time I saw it, and now I can't find it, even though I've been hunting online for a while.
