• Visual Basic Accessing a User Control

  I am using VS2005, and have built a user control, which has a few labels that I want to fill in as the program runs. The user control is duplicated several times in a panel on the main form, giving it names such as uscPerson1, uscPerson2, etc. Functions that will update some of the information on that control are in a seperate module. From code, I would like to reference the control name via a variable, so that if I wanted to update the label "PersonsName" on user control 2, I could write a generic routine, pass in the number in order to deal with "that control" and then update the text displayed there. I am stuck at trying to make the code think I am talking about a specific control. I thought it would be simp ...Show All

• Windows Forms Movement through forms

  I am interested in creating a program that tracks an object across a form realistically as if it were on the physical earth. The program would take certain parameters (weight, initial speed etc.) and would track an object across the form. However, would it be better to use direct x for this program Secondly, is there any way of "laying" coordinates across a form that are more detailed and fine than the default coordinates a form takes. Any help is appreciated, though can any source code be in c# if possible.

• Windows Forms Strange DataGridView Exception

  I have an application which retrieves information from a SQL database puts it in a DataTable object and then loads it into a DataGridView object. My code exceutes fine and does not raise any exceptions.

• Visual C# Get member value by its name

  Hi, I'm quite familiar with Reflection and types, however I'm not able to manage how to get the value from member's name. Like: namespace MyNamespace { public struct MyStruct { public string MyValue; } public static class MyClass { public static MyStruct TheStruct; } } Now, how can I get the MyValue value, if I have a string like "MyNamespace.MyClass.TheStruct.MyValue" Or if it helps, I can have the "MyNamespace.MyClass.TheStruct" and "MyValue" member name seperated.

• Internet Explorer Development Image preview in IE7 does not work

  Hi All, I have an image preview (before upload) on the client side of my web app. This worked in IE6 but fails in IE7. What the javascript does is use the File Upload control to gain access to the path which is then used to set the src property for an img control. The image never displays in the control. Has anyone else seen this behavior, and is there a workaround I have the same problem. I changed the security settings, in Advanced Tab of Internet Options ' Allow Active content to run files in My Computer". It doesn't work!! Any other work around ...Show All
