XML - Determine Basic Types Of Elements And Attributes From Schema
Feb 17, 2011I have given the local name of an element or attribute and the schema for the document. What is the easiest way to determine the basic datatype of the element or attribute. By basic datatype I mean the xs:string, xs:date etc. (The built in data types for the xml schema.) One of the problems I face is that it is rare for the elements type to be one of the basic built in types. 99% of the time it is a complex type that 50% of the time refers to another complex type that refers to another complex type and so on.
A simple Example for this schema: I want to find the basic type for Employee/Person/Name/LastName (determine that LastName is xs:normalizedString).
In the schema Employee is defined as an xs:element and type="bns:EmployeeType"
EmplyeeType has a Person element defined but it is type "PersonType" and then Name in person is NameType which is a complex type that extends GeneralName type that is type BasicNameType and that type finally defines the LastName which is of type "LastNameType" and on and on. There also definitions etc. I am currently writing a parser using linq-to-xml to get at this but it isn't easy or pretty. I have searched for other solutions and haven't found any but I fully admit my XML/schema/XPath ignorance. Is there an easy way to get the basic type for elements?

How To Add Radio Button To FrmMain

At that Student InputBox, I wants to add the 2 groupbox/6 radio buttons (3 radios each box) such as fall/spring/Summer and so on. How do I add it there?

Html - Dynamically Created Elements From Codebehind Need To Be Inserted Between Specific Elements
Sep 17, 2010I created a method and pass the element type, id, and any inner text that instantiates a new html element. The last statement: Me.Controls.Add(element) adds it to the end of the page, but I would like it to be inserted in a specific position (between 2 divs within a form). What I am describing is very similar to this post on SO here, although it was for javascript.

Jun 3, 2009Currently I declare my main class on frmMain. as public MyClass as new clsMyClass Thus anywhere in the application I would address it as: frmMain.MyClass.Function(MyParam) This does not look as neat as I would like it.

View 6 RepliesForms :: Prevent FrmMain / FrmBundleSearch From Stacking In Taskbar?
Jul 29, 2010I have a main form called frmMain from which all other forms and actions are launched. In the menu bar on frmMain there is a text box where the user can enter an inventory item number. This shows a new instance of frmBundleSearch. This frmBundleSearch may get multiple new instances opened at a time. What I would like to see is the frmMain in the taskbar separate from the frmBundleSearch when it has enough open instances to begin stacking in the taskbar. Right now, when I debug, when the taskbar starts stacking the application's forms, all of them are in the same stack, so right-click and "Close All" nukes the whole app. Is it possible to keep them separated?

Ide - Ctrl-Break Suspends Code On "Partial Class FrmMain"?
Feb 1, 2012This is an IDE question for VB Express 2008. It might be a bug in the IDE, or maybe it's my fault somehow?
My main form is named FrmMain and in my application's properties I have set frmMain as my startup object. All of that seems like what a lot of coders do.
But while debugging I hit Ctrl-Break, as I have done for years, and I get an behavior in the IDE that I wasn't expecting. Upon doing so, I get the green background text and the green arrow indicating in a tooltip: "This is the next statement to execute when this thread returns from the current function." Even if I didn't have the designer document open, it automatically opens frmMain.Designer.vb in the editor and hihglights line in green. The line is of course: Partial Class frmMain which is line 2 of the file. (Yes, it's highlighting the second line of the designer-generated code.)
The thing is, frmMain seems to have fully loaded and it's my startup object. As far as I know there shouldn't be a "next statement to execute" at all because code should be idle. I don't want to see the Designer.vb document... I want to edit my own code. Even though my form is behaving just fine, could there somehow be an unfinished aspect of loading the form such that it is "not returning" from a function?
Edit: In response to a couple comments, I'm adding three screen shots:

View 2 RepliesHypothetical Controls - Options Checked As Enabled In FrmConfig Effects - Controls (like Buttons/menu Options) Are Enabled In FrmMain
Nov 26, 2010As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.

Reading XML Elements In .NET?
Mar 11, 2010I have been learning VB.NET and am currently having troubles retrieving data from an XML file. I'm trying to keep the code as simple as possible as I only need to select single items from an XML file, not rows of data.
The XML file contains:
<CurrentPeakUsage xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://au.com.amnet.memberutils/">
<Period>

While the msgbox will contain the entire XML document, so it is loading correctly, I can't pull the single element value.

Adding Elements In Array?
Feb 25, 2009I am just starting VB at 60 years old and with no programming experience and nobody to ask for help...except here, of course. So needless to say I am hitting brickwalls. I am using "Murach's Visual Basic 2008" and it seems to be a good book. This is what I am up to I have to declare an array with 5 elements with an index. I think that part is OK. Then add code that adds each element to the next one every time a user clicks a button. I have had many tries but the best I can get is just the grand total of the elements. Here is the code I came up with:-
[Code]...
Is anyone able to show me how the button click would reveal a progressive total of the elements each time a user clicked on it? It would be good if the book came with answers or had a forum for their readers.
