• Visual Basic Listing SQL Server Database in a list box VB 2005

  Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone can give me a hand with this... I know that in VB 6.0 and even VB .NET 2003 one was able to display SQL Servers and Databases using DMO... but I don't think this now applies to VB 2005.. I am capable of displaying available SQL Servers using SQLDATASOURCEENUMERATOR.. however when I cannot find a data type or namespace that will enable me to display an SQL Server's Databases in a list box... anyone can give me a hand ..

• Visual Studio Express Editions form deactivates when using messagebox why? & how to work around this?

  Hello, I am new to VB Express and programming. I am making a single form application and I am using the form deactivate event to signal when a user switches to another application. The trouble I am having is that when control is passed to a messagebox from within my application, the form deactivate event is triggered. Is there another event that I can use that won't trigger when a messagebox is activated but will trigger if my application loses focus or is there a way to to use the "if then" to bypass the code in the "private sub form deactivate" if control is only passing to a message box e.g. if messagebox(has focus) then dont do anything thank for any help. ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception: DataTable internal index is corrupted: '5'. on ...

  Hi, I have a problem with bindingsource component in framework 2.0. I have a combobox bound to a bindingsource which is also bound to a dataset with 2 related tables and a datagridview bound to the same bindingsource. What I want to do is : When the selectedindex property of my combobox changes, the corresponding cell value must be changed in the datagridview. But although the value in bindingsource changes, datagridview does not display the new value. That value is displayed after I move the mouse over that cell and make it invalidate its region manually. Another error I caught is the one that you can see as the subject of my post. I do not know why i have that message when I try to change the property of ((DataRowView)mybindi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TreeView: unselect item when clicking outside of tree

  Hi folks, this one eludes me... I have a treeview, with several nodes. If I click OUTSIDE the tree, I want the current selected node to be deselected, like Treeview.SelectedNode = Nothing.

• Visual Basic VB 2003 & .Net 1.1 - Data Write/Read Issue

  Hi, Working upon an embedded application and have conclusively found the following issue. I have an application that was written before in VB6 that has been upgraded successfully to VB.Net 2003. All issues resolved except the following. Previously, we used the Win32 API to make data writes to a logical disk upon the PC. With the current code, we have upgraded to use the FileStream .Net approach to make all data writes and reads. For interest sake, this is an embedded application that keeps some data in a specific logical drive. The issue is as follows, when I power off the PC and power on, the data is being trashed upon the logical drive where it is being written. I am almost certain that the VB.Net approach we have imple ...Show All
