View 4 RepliesI have been writing code fore a rather large project in the past mounts And Im beginning to think about arcitecture of the program... Its just a complete mess. I dont know how to tackle so much code..Its beginning to be impossible to debug.Basically Im doing the following prosidures. Importing several a Excel files and getting the rfrequency data from these files..Displaying them in a litview and a datatable... so you are able to edit them..Doing some calculation and exporting the results back to a xls file.Problem is now that im going to add more functionallity to the program,. What im woundering about is, is there some good unofficial guides on how to program with OOP?
View 11 RepliesI have just started coding my Computing project for my A-Level, and I will admit, I am far more experienced in VB6 than VB.NET (as embarrassing as that is to say).I get extra marks for making everything presentable, so was wondering if it was possible to add icons into .NET buttons. For example if I have a button to add an entry to the database, I want a nice Web 2.0 looking icon (for which I already have) next to the text on that button.

View 2 RepliesI am about to commence coding (actually recoding) on a project that accesses 100 tables of a database, more to added at later time. About half of the accesses are queries with joins and unions. I am more of a coder to not use wizards such tableAdapter, but code more by other methods. I have read some post of this site that suggest avoiding tableAdapters, not to use them in an Enterprise environmentl, but no reasons. I would like to hear from willing to bend my ear, pro or con.

View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
View 2 RepliesI have a total of 102 values associated with a fieldname called ArrivedFlag.Then I have a TextBox control with an id of txtFlag on the markup page.In my codebehind, I have an if statement that says:
If txtFlag <> "value1" and txtFlag <> "another value" Then
lblMessage.Text ="You don't have the ability to view details"
end if
This works fine.However, given that there are 102 values, I feel that doing an IF statement 102 times is a bit inefficient.
Dim allowedFlags = New List(Of String)()
With { _
"value1", _
"another value"

I was asked by a client to create a tool that would let a user add/modify/delete/read content from a database. The content can be read from TextBoxes.
My question is, what is the best way to manage GUI locks/unlocks for the different states of the program. IE: If I'm in a "insert" mode, some GUI elements should be enabled, and some not. If I'm in the "read-only" mode, a bunch of them should be disabled... etc.
I am writing a program that uses an array with three columns and a varying amount of rows. I need to load info on a list of files in an archive(specifically: file name, size, path), and I am wondering what the most convenient way to store strings(to be loaded into the array) is.
For example: I tried creating a new .resx file in my project, and writing a function to be executed on form1_load that reads the strings from the .resx file and places them in the array in their correct column, but unfortunately had no success.
I really have no idea how resx files work, I can put strings in them using the resource editor, but I don't know how to retrieve them using resourcemanager.
I would just put the info straight into an array, but it's much easier to update a .resx file when the archive changes than it is to update the code.
Could someone please tell me how to use .resx files in vb.net? Or an easier way of accomplishing my goal?
I can't manage to add different values together...
TextBoxAnswer.Text = TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text + TextBox3.Text + TextBox4.Text
I import decimal values from my SQL Server into the TextBoxes 1-4, which works fine. But when I try to add the values together into another textbox the answer is just the values combined like a string...?The column of the table in the SQL server has a datatype decimal(18, 2)I have also tried to convert the values in the textboxes into int, str, double... Nothing seems to work...
Example:
Answer = 2,50 + 2,50 + 5,50 + 4,50
So,
TextBoxAnswer.Text = 10,00
but, all I get is:
2,502,505,504,50
I am now convinced there is no such thing using VB 2010 Express. I have read, re-read, studied, copied and pasted code to no end and all I get are error messages galore. It appears there is a big gap between what's on line as far as tutorials and the code that VB 2010 Express will accept. I hate to sound so lost but at the moment I am. I used to program in BASIC and QBASIC. I was a master at opening up ascii text files, reading them in sequential order, sorting, manipulating, then re-writing them. It was all so easy, like this: [code] That's all I want to learn how to do for the moment. But every tutorial or article I find goes off in to wild tangents about How to Manage Directories or it reads the entire text file into one giant object. Or worse, there's some code which looks promising but it won't run under VB 2010 Express or it might run but the author leaves out important parts of the code that have to be declared ahead of the subroutine....you all know what I mean. It can't be this difficult to just read a text file one line at a time, therefore it shouldn't be so difficult to find an accurate and up to date article on this.This is for really rough programming. I don't need an interface of any kind. The user, will not even need to know that anything is happening. I simply want to read text files, manipulate what's in them and then re-write the edited text.

View 2 RepliesId'like to pass some variables (string and integers) to a class, and when I call a method of that class, it has to change the original variable.I know it was not impossible in C#, but I'm using VB2010, I made a C# project into my solution, but methods using pointers are hidden into VB. How can I make that kind of change?

I have an application that works together with a SQL database. This database has more than 40 tables and my applican has to extract different situations from those tables.
I have predefined some queries for the situations that I know they need to be in the application.
The idea is that I need kind of a module in which an user can create his own situation based on the tables, views, functions and procedures that already exist in the database. Something like it is in SQL. There has to be a library or something which will read my sql database directly from my application and which allow the user to create his own queries and situations.

View 8 RepliesI am new to using Visual Basic. Normally when designing other projects, CAD for PCBs, C source code, Mechanical parts etc, I maintain a sequence of design files with minor revision name changes such as r1, r2, r3 etc as I develop the design/debug process. This makes it easy to go back a step if the recent changes I've made prove to be a problem and need to be deleted. I am not sure how to do this using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.
View 5 RepliesI am reading data from an XML file. This local XML file will be updated by another application, and I will need to periodically re-evaluate the XML file, and only import new data into a list box. Furthermore, I want to be able to click on a particular item in the listbox, and display the other values about that particular XML entry.
So, I suppose this is a multi part question. What is the proper way to import only NEW data into the program, what is the proper way to store the data, and how do I associate a value in a listbox with the data stored elsewhere?
I've considered multidimensional arrays, but have been told that strings to char arrays and then back to strings is a terrible way to manage the data, but was never offered an alternative.
The first thing that I have found difficult to manage is when a program has several forms. Basically what I do is just hiding one and showing up the other form. it does not look that nice. I was thinking of having one form and laying all the other forms on that one. Let me explain myself more thoroughly. Let's say to the left hand side of my form, i have few group boxes with buttons. So when clicking a button, it should automatically close the form and show up the new one on the main form. Its like refreshing the form. So what I mean is that there is only one main form and clicking each button will show another form.
