Depends on whether you are using vb6 or .Net
In vb6, Set the MDIChild property of your child form to true during design time.
For VB.Net, you have to explicitly assign the child to the MDI Parent during runtime, just before the child is shown
Dim frm as frmText
frm.MDIParent = frmMain
frm.Show()

Creating the child form as you created the container. Just select the MDI Parent frmMain add another windows form and call it frmChild, or whatever you like to call it. That's it. Then do you coding from there.

Do you mean like: adding the bitmap to the background image property in the property box?
or
programmatically like: Button1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("Button1.bmp")

Hi, my boss ask me to develop an application that could share the calendar on the network. It is easy for them to browse the calendar when the director want to know which staff is busy or free before he set the appointment. Can any one give me some idea about this application? Should I use windows form application or ASP.NET application to build this application in my local area network?

IMHO, by the requirements your listed, I'd do it in an ASP.NET app. That way you don't have to install anything on the clients and you can access the thing from any machine connected to the network.

I want to develop this application in ASP.NET too but the problem that I face is configuring asp.net in the computer. I have some expereince that I install IIS very properly (I also test it run properly by typing "http://localhost/" in the run dialog box) then I install VS.NET 2003. But when I create ASP.NET web application it display error message Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services I try to read and solve the problem by read Ms knowledge base but I could not solve the problem. Do you have any idea about that?

IMHO, VB.NET and SQL would be the better choice. Even though VB6 is still around, there's lots of code you have to write in VB6 that already comes written for you in the .NET BCL.

If I choose SQL server, I worry when I deploy an application to the client machine. I don't kown which is the best method that I sould deploy SQL server to the client machine.

Oh! You didn't specify this little tidbit. Are you saying that each client will keep it's own data locally? Each client machine will not share it's data with every other machine in a common database?
If this is true, then you could use MSDE or Access. In my opinion, MSDE is a better choice than Access. If you have to upgrade to a central SQL Server system, you won't have to rewrite your SQL code like you would if you used Access.

According to my plan, I have to establish a SQL server database on the server. Then each client must store the information on that database because the information is not private. The information is the schedule for each person to set out when they are free or busy. It is easy for the other people (espeically Program Director) to check before they made a cotact whether it is possible or not (whether the person we need to contact is free or busy).
Do you think it is possible to do that? Using VB.NET and SQL server, but I'm worry at the time that deploy an application to the user. I'm not sure how to do that!!

Wait a minute. You just switched to another application. Now your talking about a scheduling app where if someone arranges a meeting, they can first check to see if the attendee's schedules are free?
There's already off-the-shelf applications that can do that without you spending months of development time on it. It's called Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook. Barely any deployment is necessary if the client machines already have Office installed.

Oh, I'm sorry I should reply to here[^] but I confuse. Ok anyway, I don't want to use exchange server and my boss don't want me to spend the money on this case. He just know that I could do or not, so I have to try hard to work around this problem.

Hi guys
I have used the FolderViewer from the VB.NET PowerPack but the network devices are not shown in it.
The FolderViewer uses the SHGetFolderLocation Function to get the contents of the "My Computer" Folder.
Public Shared Function MyComputerFolder() As ShellFolder
Dim result As Integer
Dim pidl As IntPtr
result = ShellApis.SHGetFolderLocation(IntPtr.Zero, ShellApis.CSIDL_DRIVES, _
Nothing, Nothing, pidl)
If Not result = 0 Then Return Nothing
Return New ShellFolder(pidl)
End Function
Why are the network devices not shown? I read in some different HelpFiles, that net devices may be shown. Under which circumstances are they shown?
Thank you for Help.

Dave
p.s. I hope this isn't OffTopic

CSIDL_DRIVES
My Computer—virtual folder that contains everything on the local computer: storage devices, printers, and Control Panel. The folder can also contain mapped network drives.
CSIDL_NETWORK
Network Neighborhood—virtual folder that represents the root of the network namespace hierarchy.

Thanks for your answer.
In my "My Computer" Folder the mapped Network Devices are missing and I don't know why. In the Windows Explorer they are shown but they arn't in the Collection I get with the help of
CSIDL_DRIVES
I only get my local Drives.
So I'm interested under which circumstances my net devices are shown. I already read some Microsoft pages but it didn't help.

I have an MDI Parent form, I am trying to display an image on the background, I need the image centred in the middle of the screen, and not repeating.
The BackgroundImage of the form just repeated the image when the form was resized, so I tried putting a PictureBox on the form only to find that any opened forms show under the image???
Thanks,
Craig

Does anyone know if its possible to use a custom class as a property for a custom control?
i.e
When you set the forms location in the property editor, it has a little cross next to it, which is essentially the a Point Class.
Point.X
Point.Y
I have tried to do this but it just grays out my property if i use a non standard class.
I combatted this by inheriting from ComponentModel.Component, which enabled me to type in the fields but the propertys set code doesnt get called for some reason.
Thanks for your help!

hi guys
i would like to code in vb.net so that all mondays of a year would be put in one combo box.
could anyone give me a hint? and how to code it.
thanks in advance

I had a quick go at this and my VB is a little rusty, so there is probably a more optimised way:
Const MondayDayOfWeek As Int32 = 0
Dim dtCurrent As DateTime = DateTime.Now
dim currentDayOfWeek as Int32 =Ctype(dtCurrent.DayOfWeek , Int32)
Dim TodayMondayDiff As Int32 = currentDayOfWeek - MondayDayOfWeek
Dim tGetToMonday As New TimeSpan(TodayMondayDiff, 0, 0, 0)
Dim dtt As DateTime = DateTime.Now
dtt = dtt.Subtract(tGetToMonday)
Do While (dtt.Year = dtCurrent.Year)
ComboBox1.Items.Add(dtt.ToLongDateString())
dtt = dtt.Add(New TimeSpan(7, 0, 0, 0))
Loop
Hope that at least gives you a starting point.
UPDATE:
Oops, that's for Mondays until end of year.
Try this instead:
Const MondayDayOfWeek As Int32 = 0 ' Monday dayofweek = 0
Dim dtStart As DateTime = New DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, 1, 1)
Dim currentDayOfWeek As Int32 = CType(dtStart.DayOfWeek, Int32)
Dim TodayMondayDiff As Int32 = 0
If (currentDayOfWeek > 0) Then
TodayMondayDiff = currentDayOfWeek - MondayDayOfWeek
End If
Dim tGetToMonday As New TimeSpan(TodayMondayDiff, 0, 0, 0)
Dim dtt As DateTime = dtStart
dtt = dtt.Add(tGetToMonday)
Do While (dtt.Year = dtStart.Year)
ComboBox1.Items.Add(dtt.ToLongDateString())
dtt = dtt.Add(New TimeSpan(7, 0, 0, 0))
Loop
