• noodlenozzle hiding the startup form

  Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to immediately hide the startup form on startup. The Me.visible = False and Me.hide() Methods don't work. I am trying to make a simple program that has a login form and the main form. When my program starts i want the login screen to appear and the main form to immediately disappear, then when the user clicks OK the login screen closes and the main form shows. Everything works except when the program runs both the login and the main form window appear and i can't seem to make the main form disappear, and for other reasons setting the login form as the startup form is not an option. Hope this is a simple fix. Connor If Form1.Visible = False Then Form1.Visib ...Show All

• Minherz MDI Maximized

  I have MDI parent/child forms working. When I open the child form, I would like it to open maxmized and completely fill the parent form. I set the startup propertly to maiximized and while the form is in maximized state, it retains its design size and doesn't fill th parent. How can I fix this Roger, I am having the same problem.

• ekkapop DataTable

  What is the .Net Professional way of saving , Editing, Deleting in DataGridView. Mirza Ashraf, According to your code in the post, it seems that you are familiar with the VB6 because of the Pointer int variable looks like the RecordSet in VB6. In your code sample, you try to show each rows in the TextBox controls. However, you never create the DataTable on the columns and rows in the DataSet for your table. I suggest you to read the related information on the DataTable class and try to create a DataTable object with the DataColumn, then add the rows in the table. The following link shows the DataTable class and there is the code example on creating DataTable by program. Please take a look at the code and have a try: http ...Show All

• NeTBaPb How to get html string from a website ????

  Hi, i'm trying load html content in my application and it works, the problem is the first time it is called, the aplication stops for a few seconds. i'm actualy using this code: Private wc As New WebClient Dim uri As New Uri(strEnderessoP) HTML = wc.DownloadString(uri) how can i optimize this process or what classes should i use I think you will find that this is probably normal expected behaviour as the first time use will involve some additional behind the scenes processing taking place. If your talking about a few seconds - is the first access to this specific site, or the first access to any site. If its any site and you want to minimize the effect at a critical moment. Then c ...Show All

• yonelay Why does my app try to connect to the internet?

  This was really strange. After finishing my application (first one in vb.net) I ran it and for some strange reason it tried to open a port (1147) and according to my firewall it was listening not sending. I found this very strange because my application doesn't contain any code what so ever that would be able connect to the internet. I even tried a simpler application with just a form and a button and that one also tried to open up a port. When i blocked the program from trying to listen, it crashed giving me this error report.

• thedo Show and hide a form

  I have a form (frmResults) that shows a list of results for a name search. I would like to keep it open but hidden after the user selects a record to view, which opens another form (frmMain) and hides itself. The frmResults' Load event fills a table adapter based on parms passed to the form (first and last name). I have a button on frmMain that returns to frmResults using My.Forms.frmResults.Show and Me.Close. Problem: when I try to return to frmResults I get this unhandled exception: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." It happens on the line where the table adapter is filled. Is there an easy fix for this or do I have to pass the name search criteria around to get the results to show again T ...Show All

  I'm trying to add multiple comboboxes to a word table. I am able to get the form to contain the combo box, but having problem poplulating the combo boxes with choices. Any help would be great. Thanks. Are you talking about a VSTO Word Document Project in Visual Studio, or a macro/form design in Word itself If you're talking about a form being designed within Word then you're in the wrong forums... that would be a VBA or Office Development topic.

• Herru Perdana pls, why do people use InstallShild for .Net applications deployement since VS2003 already includes setup & deployement projects

  pls, why do people use InstallShild for .Net applications deployement since VS2003 already includes setup & deployement projects thanks for satisfying my curiousity:) installers are not that different from each version of VS - plus its a natural progression of a product - you see, VS 2005 was based on customer input/focus - whatever they wanted was built into VS2005. However there is not that much difference at all between the 2 versions for the installers. If you rather not use it - then don't and use something else however I believe you won't get it simpler and better as VS just my 2 cents we are talking about the .NET platform not the unsupported languages - VB6. yes of course the setup will be different f ...Show All

• *Rick* Downgrade Confusion

  The website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/previous/downgrade.aspx) used to say "If you require a previous version of Visual Basic, you may purchase Visual Basic .NET and then downgrade to a prior version."

• Amos Soma Using a VB.NET Service to copy files across servers - Problems with permissions

  I have a service that I have developed in VB.NET. Part of the functionality of this service, is to copy files from one server to another. I am using the following command for copying files: My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(source, dest) When that command is called, I get an "access is denied" error message. I have the service complied to logon as NetworkService, and I think I have setup the permissions correctly on the destination server, but still the same error. Yet when I compile the application as a standard .EXE file, the application copies the file over without any issues at all. Anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong Network service is a local user account, not a domain account ...Show All
