True, I actually excluded parts of the code intentionally (remarked with ...). I have updated the code to create a new row each time (see below), but the data set is still not being updated with rows.
Imports Rover
Public Class Plateau
'Singleton class. Must use Instance to initialize.
Private Sub New()
initDataSource()
End Sub
Public Shared ReadOnly Instance As Plateau = New Plateau
Private intXPositions As Integer
Public Property XPositions() As Integer
Get
Return intXPositions
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
intXPositions = Value
End Set
End Property
Private intYPositions As Integer
Public Property YPositions() As Integer
Get
Return intYPositions
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
intYPositions = Value
End Set
End Property
Public ReadOnly dsPlateauPosition As New DataSet("PlateauPositions")
Public Function isOccupied(ByVal Location As Coordinate) As Boolean
End Function
Public Function setOccupied(ByVal Location As Coordinate) As Boolean
End Function
Public Function clearOccupied(ByVal Location As Coordinate) As Boolean
End Function
Private Sub initDataSource()
'Create PlateauPostions, a working dataset that retains information about
'positions occupied on the grid.
Dim dtPlateauPositions As New DataTable("PlateauPositions")
'define attributes
With dtPlateauPositions
.Columns.Add("xPosition", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32"))
.Columns.Add("yPosition", System.Type.GetType("System.Int32"))
.Columns.Add("occupied", System.Type.GetType("System.Boolean"))
End With
'enforce composite primary key
Dim colPrimaryKey(1) As DataColumn
colPrimaryKey(0) = New DataColumn("xPosition")
colPrimaryKey(1) = New DataColumn("yPosition")
'create dataset
dsPlateauPosition.Tables.Add(dtPlateauPositions)
'initialize positions as not occupied
Dim rowNew As DataRow
Dim intXCount, intYCount As Integer
For intXCount = 0 To intXPositions - 1
For intYCount = 0 To intYPositions - 1
rowNew.Item("xPosition") = intXCount
rowNew.Item("yPosition") = intYCount
rowNew.Item("occupied") = False
rowNew = dtPlateauPositions.NewRow() 'updated!
dtPlateauPositions.Rows.Add(rowNew)
Next intYCount
Next intXCount
End Sub
End Class

That's better, now one can see what the problem is.
How could the intXPositions and intYPositions values used in the initDataSource method ever be anything other than zero? The object has to be created before you can set the properties, and the initDataSource method is called when the object is created. At the time you set the values of the properties it's too late for them to be used in the intDataSource method.
Now you create a data row for each row, but you create it after you have put the fields in the row, which means that you lose the reference to the row that contains the fields. What you will be adding to the table is an empty row. Also, as you don't create any row before the loop, you will be trying to add fields to a row that doesn't exist the first time. Create the row first, then add the fields to it.

Help you with what? The description you provided doesn't make any sense.
Are you asking how to connect to an Access database on another machine?

Since Access is entirely file based, you have to setup Windows networking properly. This involves setting up a share on the server that is going to host the Access file, then setting up appropriate rights, user ID's, and assigning permissions.
Google for "Windows networking basics" for more information.

You'll have to install a version of MDAC at the least. You can find it here[^].

I have a pretty simply project that I'd like to deploy. I tried using the publish wizard. It published OK, but I can't install the resulting files. I get this error:
tia.

Your application is trying to use a COM-based component that is not installed on the machine. Whatever that component is, it has to be installed before your app will run. If you don't know what it is, you might be able to find out by looking in the References folder of your app's source project.

Well, I'm going a little nuts. I have this app which is written in vb.net (2003). My problem is that you can not shut down windows when this app is loaded. This app sits in the system tray and the form visible property is set to false. You have to close down the app and then you can shutdown windows. I've been searching for days and found WndProc. I tried this. It will terminate the app, but will not shut down windows. It looks like the end session message is not being passed along. The code is below. Does anybody have any ideas? It would be much appreciated.
Private Const WM_ENDSESSION As Integer = &H16
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_ENDSESSION Then
bolWinShutDown = True
Application.Exit()
End If
MyBase.WndProc(m)
End Sub
Private Sub frmLanPopupExMain_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
If bolWinShutDown = True then
e.Cancel = False
Else
e.Cancel = True
Me.Visible = False
End Sub
Thanks,
Dick Bellnier

You don't have to override WndProc to do this.
Does your app spawn any threads? This is probably the most common cause of this problem. Any threads have to be terminated before your app closes, unless the threads are tagged as Background threads.
Another is some people decide to handle the Form Close event so they can minize their form to the System Tray. But, it's usually not done properly because they forget that this event fires during Windows shutdown to close your application.

Hi,
I'm new here and it has been several years since I've done any serious VB coding. I used to do a lot of VB6 development and have not really touched it in about 8 years. .NET is brand new to me as well.
I need to create a quickie application either in VB6 or preferably VB.NET that does the following:
Reads through a directory of .XLS files reads the contents of 2 cells and renames the file based on the contents of those 2 cells.
In the old day's I'd have whipped this out in a couple of hours, but I've discovered that I've forgotten a lot of my VB syntax etc...
Can any one help by providing me a sample to get me started?
Thanks
Craig

hi

Is this a Windows application or a web application?

When you return focus to the main form the FormLoad event does not fire. What you probably want to do is put all (or most) of the code that is currently in your FormLoad event handler and move it into a public subroutine. When you close the second form, first have it call this new public subroutine to reload the main form's data before returning to the main screen.
Hope this helps.

i've looked and tried fixin this problem until i'm ready to pull my hair out. hopefully someone has the answer.
i want a combo box to display names from a table. the table has 2 fields (CoordinatorID and Coordinator). the id field is sequential.
when i run the program, the combobox works but assigns the place in the combobox as index instead of the CoordinatorID as the index (see code below). if i don't sort the list (removing "ORDER BY coordinator") it works fine, but i have to have it sorted for the end user.
what am i doing wrong? any help greatly appreciated,
thanks, chris
Public Sub FillCBO()
rs1.Open "SELECT * FROM tblCoordinator ORDER BY coordinator", Conn, adOpenStatic
If rs1.EOF = False Then
rs1.MoveFirst
Do
cboCoordinator.AddItem rs1.Fields("Coordinator")
cboCoordinator.ItemData(cboCoordinator.NewIndex) = rs1!CoordinatorID
rs1.MoveNext
Loop Until rs1.EOF = True
End If
rs1.Close
Set rs1 = Nothing
End Sub
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK, the combobox will show items in the order passed in, unless you have the sorted property set to true.

I have a datatable that I have retrieved from a database (w00t!)
now I am trying to add a column to this datatable, but the add command only allows me to add a datacolumn to the end of the datatable collection 
I want to add my new datacolumn to the start of the datatable (or potentially at any index  ) and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
Any hints?
Thanks in Advance,
Jason

You can't add a column at any index you want. Anything you add will always be appended to the end. Besides, a DataTable object has no visible component, so it doesn't matter where the column is appended... Why do you want to do this?

I'm setting it as my datagrid datasource.
I'm reading data from several sources in my database. Based on the type of data I'm reading (whether it is Contact data or Business data etc) I wanted to add an icon column to my datagrid. This works fine, except the icon is the last column in my datagrid, I want it to be the first.
I assumed that I would do this at the datatable level, not at the datagrid level.

The view of the data is maintained seperate from the data itself. The order of the columns in the datatable has nothing to do with the order of the columns in the datagrid. In order to do this, you'll have to create all your columns, in the order you want, and add them to the grid.

so how is this done? I already have my datatable (tblMergedContactsAndCompanies). I want to add a new column at index 0 and then read through all the rows in my datatable and assign an icon depending on Type (Contact or Company) and then display this in a datagrid.
I can add the icon column to my datatable, but when I display it in my datagrid, it is at index(datatable.columns.count).
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: In order to do this, you'll have to create all your columns, in the order you want, and add them to the grid.
Are you saying that I have to create a new datatable, read the columns from my original datatable in, and then read the data in?
