Using The "UseWaitCursor" Property Of The ReportViewer But It Shows The WaitCursor All The Time?
Jul 19, 2010
I posted this in the "Reporting" section someone knows of some event that takes place AFTER a CR is completely done loading. Here is what I posted in the "Reporting" section.
I have multiple forms where I use a background worker to perform my code while my main thread displays a "Please Wait" dialog box. I have tried to do this same thing with my crystal reports but it gets through all of the code and closes my "Please Wait" box then opens the report viewer. The problem is, the report continues to load after that point but its through with my portion of the code. I assume the CR itself is retrieving information. How can I display something letting people know that it is working. I tried using the "UseWaitCursor" property of the ReportViewer but it shows the WaitCursor all the time if I do that.

I am a student in a Visual Basic class. We were working on a project using the Count property of the ListBox. I'm using Visual Studio Professional Edition 2008. When I enter a line in the editor that looks something like this: If lstResults.Items.Co
IntelliSense will generate a little balloon that says 'Public ReadOnly Property Count() I saw the () after Count and thought that meant that was the proper way to code it. So that is what I did. The code seems to work with ...Count() or just ...Count. I was wondering if there is some reason why the parens show up after the description of the Property in IntelliSense.

I've got a project that generates a sql query and returns the results. I want to place a time/counter on the form that shows how long it takes to return the query from the server. Basically to count up in seconds from 0 while that sub is executing. Would threading be the best way to do this or is there another way that I'm missing?

I have a listbox binded to a list of objects. For each list item I wanted to have a rectangle whose fill color is determined by a few properties of the binded object. So I did the following:
Made sure INotifyPropertyChanged was implemented on my object.Created a class to expose the properties I am interested in as attached properties.Binded the properties of the object to the attached properties of the rectangle Created a style that uses triggers to set the rectangle fill based on attached properties.
This works, but only the first time the property of the object changes. After that, the attached properties do not seem to be receiving notification when the data object's property changes. I have double checked and my data object is raising the INotifyPropertyChanged event.
<Rectangle Style="{StaticResource RecordStateRectangleStyle}"
Width="10" Height="10" Stroke="Black"
local:RecordAttachment.RecordState="{Binding Path=RecordState}"
local:RecordAttachment.IsDeleted="{Binding Path=IsDeleted}" />

I have a strange issue when binding a combobox in a WPF window.I am loading a List object, to populate the combobox, through it's .ItemsSource, on Window Load, however, it does not populate.At least, not until the arrow is clicked on. Once the arrow is clicked on, the window freezes up, and after a minute or so, the 4000+ records are displayed in it.Now, the list gets loaded, however, when I click on the combobox it takes awhile for it to render, so how can I show a waitcursor while it is rendering the list?Here's the Xaml for it:
<ComboBox Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="3" Name="tUser" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
DisplayMemberPath="UsersName" SelectedValuePath="UserID" SelectedValue="0"/>
And the code-behind is:
Private Sub CreateTask_Loaded(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded
Using New WaitCursor
_LA.Show()
Me.tOrder.ItemsSource = GetOrderList()

I have a form that asks the user for certain search criteria. Based on this it goes and searches Active Directory for computer accounts. Whilst this search is happening I want the cursor to change to the hourglass but I've tried
Application.WaitCursor=true
Me.Cursor=Cursors.WaitCursor
me.UseWaitCursor=True
Nothing works. The cursor stays firmly as the default cursor.This is the code that calls the form
Dim inputform As New MachineSearchInputForm
If inputform.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim PropertiesToLoad As String() = New String() {"name", "distinguishedname", "objectclass"}

Where can I find resources on authoring Reports. Say, I have a VB project and I want to add reports to it, do I have to add a ReportViewer for each report or can I use one ReportViewer for all?
What is the difference between a Report created using the Report Server Project of the Business Intelligence Projects and one created using the Visual Basic/Reporting Project tab? Which one is more suited for creating reports?Only performance counts!

I am just curious about this, but in all my years writing code, I have never once ever come across a time to use a write only property. Of course readonly is pretty common in class development, and while I may have had classes where I don't specifically need to expose a property for reading, generally you end up with a method like SetValue or something like that, which is more or less the same idea as a writeonly property.
I don't recall ever seeing a writeonly property in a .NET framework class. So can anyone provide an example where it actually made good sense to use a writeonly property over either a read/write property, or a method?

Here's a problem: I've made an ActiveX control with VB.net (VS 2005) to use in a web application. The control has some properties and methods. The control loads fine in IE, calling methods works, but asking for a property with javascript is a problem.
[Code]...
The first time objTest.SomeProp returns 'Test' as it should. The second time is gives an error: 'Object doesn't support this property or method. After that, all methods and properties are 'unsupported'. Somehow this problem started after I implemented IObjectSafety interface in the control, but I have no idea how it affects the property and how to solve this problem.

I have a form where I have created a custom property, DataEntryRole, and set its Browsable attribute to True, as shown:
<Browsable(True)> _
Public Property DataEntryRole() As UserRole.PossibleRoles
Get
Return mDataEntryRole
End Get
[Code]...
When I view the designer for my form, DataEntryRole doesn't appear in the property box. I assume that it should appear if I were to create another form that inherited from this base form, but that's not what I want. I want this property to show up in my current form.

I have a class where it's problematic to relay on the properties being serialized in alphabetical order at design time.In other words, property Z must be serialized before property A.The problem arises because property property Z clears property A whenever it changes - which happens in InitializeComponent.I work around this problem by setting a FirstTime flag, but that seems messy.

I have been making a control and have added a property for a list(of CustomClass). The custom class contains a string, an image and a list of another custom class which contains a string and an image. I have added this property to the designer by adding the browsable attributes and all appears to work correctly with this.
My problem comes when running the program. I can set all of the values within the property and I can go back to them and they are saved, however, as soon as I run the program, the values are wiped out as the property is set to Nothing.In order to allow my property to be edited and saved, I realize that I must initialize the list and have done so in the accessor method of the property (if the property's value is nothing).
I have modified the values in the designer and placed a breakpoint on all of the items which use the property and it's underlying field, as well as on the property's methods itself. The first breakpoint hit is of it being accessed and the value is always nothing.
I'm not sure where the values are supposed to be stored as I have checked the designer code where it would normally store types such as strings and I have checked the resources to see if they have been saved there (like an image would be). After running the code, the values in the designer are wiped out also.

In my never ending search for more knowledge, I have come across Partial Classes. I was wondering if some of the kind people who actually understand the uses could explain some of them to me. Now I know that when we create a form that we actually create a partial class which the generator rewrites when we add a control or change a property at design-time, and this allows us not to have to worry about setting up the controls ourselves.

I have a class that has a readonly collection property - Its a list of extender providers that have been applied to the control.I've implemented a simple property descriptor for the collection so that the property can be expanded in the property grid to examine each entry.
When I select an extender provider and set it to false, I remove it from the collection. The GetProperties method of the type converter is requeried and the property grid refreshes.However, when I set an extender provider to true, and thus add it to the collection, GetProperties is not requeried.
Somehow, the property grid is making a distinction between adding to and removing from the collection. Or alternativly, its refreshing when an extender provider is added, but not when one is removed.

I am creating a User Control where I have a property called Items. Items is of type LibraryPanelBarItem Collection (custom class) which contains a collection of LibraryPanelBarItem objects. I would like to be able to add these at design time by using the Collection editor that VS uses for adding things such as treenodes/listviewitems. Ideally I would also be able to declaratively add them to the html syntax. I can get the Items property to show up but I get no intellisense to add the items between the opening and closing tags.

(I've answered the question below with a hack. I'm fairly confident in it unless MS change the way that codedom serializers the designer code.)ETA2:I've worked out what is going on. I wondered why sometimes it would work and not others. It boils down to the name that I give to the internal property and the collection.If I rename the property 'Annoyance' to 'WTF', it will serialize correctly because 'WTF' is, alphabetically, after the name of the collection - 'InternalAnger'.It looks like the serializer is creating instances of objects alphabetically and needs my internal property to be created by the time it comes to create the collection.I can fix this with a rename, but that's a hack and I fear that writing a custom serializer is a big job - which I've never done before.ETA: Jesus, I'm sick of this. This problem was specifically about persisting an interface collection but now on further testing it doesn't work for a normal collection. Here's some even simpler code:
Public Class Anger
End Class
Public Class MyButton

This is my first post on this forum, so please excuse me if I'm posting wrong. Anyway, I've been having an issue that I've never seen before and is driving me nut, I have a windows form on which I have placed many textboxes that display information from a MS SQL database. The user can then change these values and hit a "save" button which writes the changes to the database. I also have certain textboxes that with the "on leave" event (after a user enters a possible new value) trigger a method that recalculates some of the other fields based on the new information. Hopefully that all makes sense.
So the problem is, when I run through this "recalc" method the first time around, it doesn't update those textboxes that it's supposed to. However, when I put a breakpoint in and debug through it, the debugger shows it putting in the correct values into the textboxes. It's just as soon as the method is done, it puts them back to blank, or whatever they were before
'Rebind stuff here
lblCabinets.Text = curMfg.ToString("c")
txtCabinets.Text = curMfg.ToString("c")
