• hoowahfun Database won't update?

  New to vb.net. When i create a datasource i am asked if i want to copy the database to my application. I say yes. I go through all the steps and make my data form by draging form the datasource to the form. Everything goes without a hitch. but the data changes that i make to my program do not update to the database. I am using vbexpress and sqlexpress.

• Edentheguy Reusing Forms

  Greetings I am converting a VB6 program containing multiple forms into a 2005.net VB program. In the old VB6 program I use a modal form and then I want to re-use the same form but but change some of the labels and make visible a control that was invisible the first time around. In the VB 6 version I was in, say, Form1 and executed the following code: Unload Form1 Form1.Show 1 This re-did the Load event and I used a counter to customize the form in its second life. Is there any way to do this simply in VS2005 VB you can reuse a form either by declaring it globally then accessing it via that or create the form and then use Application.OpenForms to get the form you want via index. is this ...Show All

• JR Lyon ListViewBox Not Cooperating

  Greetings: I'm trying to iterate through a table in a DataSet and display the rows in a ListViewBox. The stored procedure used works fine in the database, and the debugger shows that my DataSet is filled with exactly the records I'm looking for. But the ListViewBox does not show the columns I set up for it, and only displays part of one field from each record, arranged in neat rows and columns. I know that this is real basic stuff, but I'm just not getting it. Here's the code: Private Sub btnTablesRead_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTablesRead.Click 'check to see which table has been selected If rdoTableMiles.Checked Then Sproc = DBLink.MilesRecords ...Show All

• nglow Menustrip

  Hi, I was hoping that somebody could tell me how to program a "new" function for a menustrip. I want this to reload my program.

• MaseYo detect if the file exists

  OK, hi. what i'm trying to do is ultimately detect wheather a word doc exists. I don't want to open it. What it's going to do is detect if the file exists. If it does, move on If it doesn't ,copy it. i'm stick on the part where u detect if the file is there. Can any1 help me plz!!! Jared is correct in the unlikely possibility that the file could be delete between the calls (maybe multi-user or multiple applications working on the same files) BUT I would still advocate the process of checking the file first and then copying if it exists as a better approach because it avoids using exception handling to control program flow. That said - I would wrap the above logic within a try catch ...Show All

• Ant_59 Visual Basic - Passing data from a child to a parent form

  Please reply with Visual Basic solutions. I am clicking on a Panel in a child form (BW3) and creating a label giving me the mouse position on the panel.

• JimTan Currency issue with bound objects -I think

  Problem: two textBoxes are bound to two fields in a datagrid.When the text in the first textBox is deleted and replaced , and then the second textBox text is deleted it deletes the text in the first text box(or moves its value back to what it was prior to making the change).Note that if I just modify the text it has no affect on the other textBox-only when I have had a prior deletion. Specifics: the mouse click in the text boxes show a month calendar from which a date is selected and shown in the text box. A keydown event is used to pickup if the "delete" key is hit, and if text is selected it removes the text from the text box and from the dataSet as well(could not get it to delete text by just removing from textBox). ...Show All

• Jagan P "Start external program" no longer works in VS2003 once 2.0 framework installed

  Ever since I installed VS2005, the "Start external program" feature in VS2003 in Project Properties-->Configuration Properties --> Debugging does not work anymore. The external program launches for a moment, then bails out of memory with no apparent error. Removing the .Net Framework 2.0 fixes the problem. The only other person her in the office with VS2005 installed has the exact same problem. Removing the 2.0 framework worked for him as well. Any thoughts on how to get the feature working again WITHOUT removing 2.0 Marcus Thanks for your feedback, Bruce. The external program in this case is a vb6 app, but has file references to dlls built with the 1.1 framework. The main program that I ...Show All
