I'm used to webdeveloping, and when I work with databases, I usually use some text for the Text-property of a radio button, and the row's ID as Value-property. This makes it very easy to save to databases.
Is the an equivalent in winforms for the Value-property, or will I have to identify rows based on the text in the control?
I have a winform that is taking too long to load. The form has a gazillion of controls and I would like to see how much time each control takes to load.If it were a web app, I would have just turned the trace on, but I can not find anything similar in winforms.
View 3 Repliesnet there are many standard colors are available . But how to know there numerical value. I want those numerical values so that by changing those I can obtain the required shades which are not available as standard colors.
E.g for black we know numerical RGB equivalent is 0, 0, 0 But what are RGB values for olive color?
how to do this color name to numeric RGB value conversion
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

I know you can do
Public Property name() As String
Get
Return _name.ToString

View 1 RepliesI was simply wondering if in VB.Net there is a shorthand equivalent to this kind of C# including the private setter:
public string Test { get; private set; }
I find this property useful but cannot find a direct replacement for it in vb.net. Is there one?
View 1 RepliesI'd normally do this in C# but since I've got to get this code in this particular assembly which is a vb.net one, I'm stuck.
Here's my linq query:
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim oldAndCurrentIntersectionOnNames = From currentApplicant In currentApplicants _
Group Join oldApplicant In oldApplicants _

You'll see the .Index = i+=1
This was my attempt to do what I'd quite happily do in C# (i.e. Index = i++) in VB. Unfortunately the VB compiler doesn't like that. how I'd do this in VB.

What is the best way to bind a property to a control so that when the property value is changed, the control's bound property changes with it.So if I have a property "FirstName" which I want to bind to a textbox "txtFirstName" text value. If I change FirstName to "Stack" the txtFirstName.Text also changes to "Stack".
View 1 RepliesI am currently developing a WinForms application in C# and require a table control that can contain other UI controls.In the following example, I would like the Links column to contain link label controls:
| ID | Name | Links |
-----------------------------------
| 1 | n1 | link1, link2, link3 |
| 2 | n2 | link1 |
Is there one I can use 'out of the box', are there any good third party ones?
Has anyone tried using controls from different sources into their application that uses winforms? Will these combination of controls work together?

View 3 RepliesI create a class "Planet" that can be inherited. One of the purposes of inheriting is to create a template with different default property values. Eg:
Public Sub New
MyBase.New
MyBase.ForeColor = Red
[code]....
Now, to stop the defaults serializing in the InitializeComponent method, there are 2 ways:If I've implemented the properties using the 'DefaultValue' attribute, and made them overridable, the attribute can be overriden with the new value.The problem with this is, there's no way to just make just the attributes overridable, as opposed to the whole property.I could implement every property with protected Reset'PropertyName' and ShouldSerialize'PropertyName' methods. However, this is a bit of a pain in the arse.Is it, generally, an important consideration to ensure that someone who overrides your base class has the ability to change the default values of a property?
I have a WinForms application that I need to dynamically add controls to at runtime. I searched for this and I was initially led to the TableLayoutPanel (TLP).
View 4 RepliesI'm writing a VB.Net WinForms application that has multiple data girds on any given form. On one such form, the data grids are loaded into split containers which in turn are located on a tab control. The load method for each data grid is threaded so that an animated "Loading" form can be shown. I would like to position the new loading form (which is smaller than the grid) on top of, and preferably in the center of, the grid that is loading. Whats the easiest way to find the grids location within the main form so that I can adjust the loading forms location?
View 1 RepliesI have the following code on a form:
Public Sub Init(ByVal SelectedItems As List(Of Cheque))
Items = New BindingList(Of Cheque)(SelectedItems )
BindingSource1.DataSource = Items
[code]....
This code gets called like so:
...
fmEdit.Init(myList)
fmEdit.Show()
All variables are populated etc, it seems to go through the DataBindings.Add ok but when the form appears I get the error about unable to bind to a property or column called Id. I tried replacing the DataBindings.Add code to use the BindingSource1 instead of Items but I get a similar error.The names of the properties in the class match that of the name in the Databindings.Add code.
UPDATE: Here is my class:
Public Class Cheque
Public Id As String
Public Status As Byte

View 1 RepliesI have a WinForms dialog box that contains 3 radio buttons. I am using ApplicationSettings to bind the Checked property of each of these RadioButton controls, but it doesn't do what I am expecting it to do. Now I have to click each radio button twice before it gets checked and the selected radio button is not being persisted.Is there a line of code I need to execute when the form is closed that saves the user settings?How do I eliminate the need for 2x clicking on the radio buttons?Is there a better way to persist this type of user setting? I do have a public property on the dialog box class that gets/sets an enum value based on which radio button is checked, but I didn't see an easy way of binding that property to a user setting. Should have specified that I'm using vb.net. I think that means My.Settings instead of Properties.Settings.
View 4 RepliesOur shop primarily use "ADO objects" (I'm referring to DataSet, DataTable, and DataRow) for marshaling around data and manipulating it on forms and in grids. We are experimenting with creating shop-flavored counterparts to the native ADO objects so that we can impose our in-house standards on top of them. Implementing this is straightforward with one exception: I want our objects to be bindable to controls.
I'm aware of IList, IBindingList, BindingSource, etc. and have looked at and experimented with these, but I am falling short when it comes to making a class with no hard property names bindable. The native ADO objects are not strongly typed by default. You have column values that you access via the Item property (e.g. row("Age") or row.Item("Age")). The binding examples I've found online deal with strong-typed objects (e.g. row.Age). Essentially, we want to create custom ADO objects (not inherited from the native ones) that still retain their ability to bind to controls. In a grid I would expect to see columns Name, Age and Occupation from a row where these properties are exposed via row("Name"), row("Age") and row("Occupation"). This must be doable as this is exactly what the native DataTable and DataRow provide.
I do have Visual VB.NET 2008 Express installed, SQL Server 2005 express installed, and I do know how to start a brand new project in VB.NET, and then add the database to the solution explorer, modify the tables/fields, etc. I know how to create a WinForm, add some controls (and name them and whatnot).....
So in MS Access I know how to use VB in the Code-Behind-Form to use the form in an unbound manner, and insert data into the tables via Visual Basic with SQL statements. I am looking to be able to begin the same sort of thing here, because I guess I have to start somewhere?
