Either in a Module (yuk!) or in your startup form's code. Then you go into your project properties and change the Startup item to Sub Main.

hi there,
can someone help me on how will i pass or copy (programmatically) the information inside or declared on the datagridview1 to datagridview2.
It's like on text box.. textbox1.text = textbox2.text
i just want the datagridview2 to have the data inside the datagridview1(through a mouse click) but without the use of any dataset coz it's not binded with the sql database.
can you show me codes.
i really can't figure it out eh..
thank you so much..;)
|
|
|
|
|
without trying it:
datagridview2.datasource = datagridview1.datasource
datagridview2.datamember = datagridview1.datamember
datagridview2.refresh
???
|
|
|
|
|
this is just what i need..
I tried to use this codes and it works, with the use of some codes such as the declaration of the datatable columns.
thanks a lot..
this really helped me.

I have many forms in my application but I am not able to close last Form just after shited to the another Form(eg I'm in Form1 and click on button to go to another Form then the Form2 will open successfully but previous Form (Form1) also open in the background).
Pls suggest me what should I do?

There are many ways of doing it.
1. Form.Visible = Fale ' this will hide your form in any Visual Basic Version
2. Unload Form ' this is only for VB6. this will unload your form
3. Form.Close()
4. Form.Dispose()
No. 3 & 4 works with VB2005
And ye Use ME insted of form, because sometimes form might give u error.
Post back if u have anymore questions.

Hi guys,
Just want to ask anyone who knows how to use a graph in vb.net? i haven't used a component ever since so i'm really new at this.
i have a component in vb.net called Microsoft Chart. i just don't know how to work on it.
if you can tell me a tutorial site, please do. I just badly need it.
or does anybody know any other components that i can use for charting?
i also need some sample codes to study on how to adjust the bargraph stats programmatically. Can you give me?
Hope you guys would help me.
Thank you.

Hey
You may want to look at simpler components first, is there no documentation on your chart component on www.msdn.com?
Maybe try some general VB tutorials first http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/NET/vbNet.html - my apologies if these seem too simple but I dont know what standard you are at. Also try amazon for books on VB.NET - better to walk before you run.

I have an owner-owned pair of forms and I'd like to raise events from one to the other. I can't seem to find it in the big tome I use. Any ideas?

|

without better specefied what you have and what you want I can only tell you this:
declare a public event in the owned form
lets call it
public event bla
then when you need to catch the event (in the owner form)
say when a button is cliced on the owned form put
raisevent bla in the buttonclick event
then in the owner form you should be able to add a handler to the event bla
dim frm as ownedfrom
addhandler frm.bla, addressof blabla
private sub blabla (sender as object,e as system.eventargs)
'do you're code here
end sub
hope it helps
ps: sorry about the poor naming but it's been a long day (really need to get some sleep  )
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.
The only way we learn is by making mistaks.

A better choice would be a delegate but here's how you'd do it...
Class Form1
private withevents moForm2 as Form2
Private sub Form1_Load(sender as object, e as system.eventargs) handles Form1.Load
moForm2 = New Form2
End Sub
private sub moForm2_Selection(sDate as String) handles moForm2.Selection
'do whatever you want
End Sub
End Class
Class Form2
Event Selection(sDate as String)
Private Sub Test()
RaiseEvent Selection("09/19/2007")
End Sub
End Class
|

|

You guys got me started, thanks. It was a custom event from an "owner" form to its "owned" form. I tried several ways, unsuccessfully. It wasn't until I declared the event as Shared in the owner form that everything fell into place nicely.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I'm currently working on a program for automated print queue creation (move, copy, clone). Creating a print queue with AddPrinter on remote server works, but I can't figure out how to apply the DEVMODE. The code works as follows:
-using OpenPrinter to get the handle to the printer on the source server
-query printer with GetPrinter to get Printer_Info_2 and DEVMODE structure
-changing the needed values in the Printer_Info_2 and DEVMODE structure
-using AddPrinter to create the printer on the destination server
now I want to set the "Document Defaults" (like Collate or Orientation), but the API call DocumentProperties fails....

Pretty vague question  you can reply being more specific. The vague answer is to iterate through the items in the listview, and insert them into your DB item by item

I googled "vb.net get time"
Here is the what I found on the third line:
<br />
Dim Now AsDateTime = DateTime.Now<br />
MessageBox.Show(Now)<br />
You always pass failure on the way to success.

Hm... I don't want to appear impolite but how about googling it?
Oh - and you're welcome
