You're going to have an extremely hard time with this. Windows Forms does not do transparent controls very well, and it does even worse with transparent forms.
Setting the background of a control to Transparent only tells the control to take on the background properties of the control that contains it. It does NOT make the control transparent!
WPF is far better at doing this as it actually makes things transparent.

I'm lost here, and I'll try to keep this brief.
I'm trying to create my first ReportViewer project here.
Here's what I've done so far.
1. Create a windows form with a single ReportViewer Object
2. Create a RCDL file, with a header and footer and a tablix in the body, 1 column 1 row.
3. Created a class file, that gets the data. I call the class in the form with the report viewer.
I'm pretty sure the code below works right. but I don't understand the relationship to the code and the tablix, how to populate the tablix with data.
I read these examples, and they all show how to assign a dataset to the rldc, and that's where I get lost.
I'm not doing a data dump here, I'm just showing what I have so far.
Wondering if I'm on the right track here.
Question 2:
Is there a way I can make some hard code some data to practice populating the tablix so I can learn how it works?
Private Sub practice()
rv_Canvas.ZoomPercent = 100
rv_Canvas.BorderStyle = Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle
rv_Canvas.Visible = True
rv_Canvas.ShowProgress = True
rv_Canvas.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Local
rv_Canvas.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "AccountMate.profit_items.rdlc"
'Build the DataTable for item_profit
Dim rs_Table As DataTable = New DataTable()
rs_Table.TableName = "dt_item_profit"
'FITEMNO
Dim FITEMNO As DataColumn = New DataColumn
FITEMNO.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
FITEMNO.ColumnName = "FITEMNO"
rs_Table.Columns.Add(FITEMNO)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
ds.DataSetName = "DataSet1"
ds.Tables.Clear()
ds.Tables.Add(rs_Table)
ds.Tables(0).TableName = "tablix1"
'this is where I get confused.
'what is ds.tables(0)?
'tablix1 is just 1 row 1 column, and is assigned to dataset1
rv_Canvas.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds.Tables))
'Refresh the Report
rv_Canvas.RefreshReport()
End Sub

I went back and created a new XSD file for the dataset and attached it to the tablix. Actually I created a dataset file and added a datatable to it with 2 columns that match the names of the DataColumns in the code below.
Then went back to the RDLC file and programed the tablix with the dataset name and columns.
This part works!, I can add 1 row of data with 2 columns, huge for me, it's a start now. I think I see how it works now and what the relationship in all the pieces now, plus I didn't have to use the wizard and bind lots of stuff.
Since I'm using an old Account Mate DOS database files, I think I will pursue this manual operation here. I really don't want to use the oledbadapter and fill on this project here.
Private Sub practice()
'Build the DataTable for item_profit
Dim rs_Table As DataTable = New DataTable()
rs_Table.TableName = "dt_item_profit"
'FITEMNO
Dim FITEMNO As DataColumn = New DataColumn

FITEMNO.ColumnName = "FITEMNO"

FDESCRIPT.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
FDESCRIPT.ColumnName = "FDESCRIPT"
rs_Table.Columns.Add(FDESCRIPT)
Dim rs_DataRow As DataRow
rs_DataRow = rs_Table.NewRow()

Hi There, i created a calendar with 37 datagridviews on a form, i've put all my datagridviews in to an array collection
Public AllDatagrids As DataGridView() = {DGDays1, DGDays2, DGDays3, DGDays4, DGDays5, DGDays6, DGDays7, DGDays8, _
DGDays9, DGDays10, DGDays11, DGDays12, DGDays13, DGDays14, DGDays15, DGDays16, _
DGDays17, DGDays18, DGDays19, DGDays20, DGDays21, DGDays22, DGDays23, DGDays24, _
DGDays25, DGDays26, DGDays27, DGDays28, DGDays29, DGDays30, DGDays31, DGDays32, _
DGDays33, DGDays34, DGDays35, DGDays36, DGDays37}
which makes it easier to control which datagridviews are visible or not depending on the user selection on the month they select from a combo box.
Now when a user clicks on a row in any datagridview it opens up another form and displays additional information in a breakdown sort of way.
All my code is working fine except that it is way too long and i would like to shorten it, because i have now got duplicated code in my project.
Each datagridview has a double click event so i have 37 of these
Private Sub DGDays1_CellContentDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DGDays1.CellContentDoubleClick
With DGDays1
If .SelectedRows.Count <> 0 Then
Dim row As DataGridViewRow = .SelectedRows(0)
GetdataAndFillDetailsForm(row.Cells(3).Value, row.Cells(5).Value)
End If
End With
End Sub
i have created an event handler to manage the double click event of all the datagridviews which resides in my main form load event
For Each DataGridView In Modall.AllDatagrids
AddHandler DataGridView.CellContentDoubleClick, AddressOf DGArrayClick
Next
Which in turn after the user double clicks a cell on any of the datagridview it runs this code
Private Sub DGArrayClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs)
End Sub
so i've been trying to figure out how to get a value of the row selection from the double click event of the datagrid and i have a code block
i want to try and run something like this inside my DGArrayClick sub
GetdataAndFillDetailsForm(row.Cells(3).Value, row.Cells(5).Value)
is it possible and if so, could anyone give me a direction on how to go about it please?

I Have inside a list view a dropdown list as follows:
<td>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlAllocatedTeam" runat="server" CssClass="inputsize-1-3" DataSourceID="odsAllocatedTeam" DataTextField="TeamName" DataValueField="TeamID" AppendDataBoundItems="true" AutoPostBack="true" SelectedValue='<%# Eval("TeamID") %>'>

</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdfTeamID" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("TeamID") %>' />
</td>
I bind the list as follows:
Protected Sub lvData_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewItemEventArgs) Handles lvData.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
Dim ddlAllocatedTeam As DropDownList = e.Item.FindControl("ddlAllocatedTeam")
Dim hdfTeamID As HiddenField = e.Item.FindControl("hdfTeamID")
ddlAllocatedTeam.SelectedValue = hdfTeamID.Value
ddlAllocatedTeam.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
When I edit and update the row I get the following error message
Databinding methods such as Eval(), XPath(), and Bind() can only be used in the context of a databound control.
I need to be able to update the record not changing the value or on index change on ro drop down list need this updating

Hi,
i have a legacy code in VB.Net 1.1 and Sybase ASE 12.5, system is working fine as i took over from previous developer. Now client want to upgrade to ASE 15.7. we created a totally new environment and installed DB and ASE Client on new machines.
I was getting Connection Error while connecting with new DB.
I modified connection string in web.config
Previous:
<add key="connectionString"
value="Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider.2;Server Name=DBDV01;Initial Catalog=RLDB;Password=db_user;User ID=db_user;Server Port Address=4100;Persist Security Info=True">
New:
<add key="connectionString"
value="Provider=ASEOLEDB;Server Name=DBDV01;Initial Catalog=RLDB;Password=db_user;User ID=db_user;Server Port Address=4100;Persist Security Info=True">
Login works fine however just after Login when system tries to run any other query in database I get following error message:
[Message Class: 14][Message State: 1][Transaction State: 1][Server Name: DBDV01]
[Native Code: 924] [ASEOLEDB]Database 'RLDB' is already open and can only have one user at a time.

I am also getting similar error if i try to open both SYBASE CENTRAL and SQL ADVANTAGE at the same time.
any help will be welcome.

I don't know sh*t about Sybase, but it seems like this would be your problem:

I'm using VB.net 2013 , Entity framework and SQL Server 2008R2.
I have a strange situation: I have a form/wizard that restores a database from a copy. I restore the database using SMO.The restore is completed without problems, but immediately after restore I try to connect to database using this code :
Dim context as MyEntity
context=New Myentity
query = From t in context.Mytable select t
I get an error :
An exception has been raised that is likely due to a transient failure. If you are connecting to a SQL Azure database consider using SqlAzureExecutionStrategy.
If a try after some time the same code , everything is ok.
What can I do ?
Thank you !

Retry[^] the operation. The fact that the database has been restored completely doesn't mean it is immediatly available for querying. Give the server a second to attach and load, and try to connect again.

Sorry ! But the sql server is on local PC , and on the computer where I have created the application (inside Visual studio , or with the final exe ) everything is ok. Only on the computer where I try to install and run my application I have this error.

No sorry's required; I don't consider it an error, as it is likely that the server is still loading the database. Is the database-server that gives the error also hosting other databases? Than that might explain why it takes longer there than on your machine.
The most likely difference is the production machine's database is probably set to "simply recovery mode".
You might also want to be checking the event-log; see if SQL Server has dropped any hints there. You might also want to try the backup/restore procedure with another database, like the AdventureWorks database from Microsoft. If that also takes long, then it is due to something in that machine; be it different hardware, different software or different settings.

Dim i As Integer
Dim s As String = "Aaa"
Dim pAR() As String = Split("aaa,AAA,bbb,BbB,ccc,CcC", ",")
i = Array.FindIndex(pAR, Function(x) x.IndexOf(s, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
Returns 2 but I would expect it to be 0.
|
|
|
|

It says 2 because you're asking the FindIndex function to return the first element where the x.IndexOf call returns a non-zero value, and that's at index = 2.
In most languages, a non-zero value is always considered True and a zero value is False.
Read up on the IndexOf() and String.Compare() documentation and you'll understand why it's not behaving like you think it should.
To get it to work like you want, you'd change that line of code to:
i = Array.FindIndex(pAR, Function(x) x.IndexOf(s, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) = 0)

Thanks
I am very familiar with IndexOf. I was looking for a case insensitive version of IndexOf when I came across this code.
The MSDN doc for FindIndex has
returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the List(Of T) or a portion of it.
So I was expecting it to return 0 since the first occurrence of a case insensitive "Aaa" in
"aaa,AAA,bbb,BbB,ccc,CcC"
would be 0 not 2. (2 would be bbb)
I do want to index in the entry in the array not a True or False.
Now you code DOES WORK so thanks but I do not see how it matches the MSDN doc and why your code works.

Remember, I keep emphasizing that a non-zero value evaluates to True and a zero value is False.
You're not actually understanding how the FindIndex and IndexOf methods work. FindIndex will return the first item passed to the comparator function you provide that returns True (a non-zero value).
Keeping that in mind, IndexOf returns an integer value of the index in the string where the string you're searching for is found. Zero if the term to search for is Empty(False), a value of 0 or greater if it is found (True) and -1 if it is NOT found (True!).
So, rewrite your code to break things out a bit more and step through the code in the debugger. Launch it by hitting F11, not F5, and step through the code one line at a time by hitting F11 and then hover the mouse over the variables you want to inspect the values of.
Sub Main()
Dim i As Integer
Dim s As String = "Aaa"
Dim ar() As String = Split("aaa,AAA,bbb,BbB,ccc,CcC", ",")
i = Array.FindIndex(ar, Function(x) Contains(x, s))
Console.WriteLine("I is " & i)
End Sub
Private Function Contains(a As String, b As String) As Integer
Dim returnValue As Integer = a.IndexOf(b, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
Console.WriteLine("Searching for '{0}' in '{1}' returning: {2}", b, a, returnValue)
Return returnValue
End Function
To fix this version, it's that same as before:
Sub Main()
Dim i As Integer
Dim s As String = "Aaa"
Dim ar() As String = Split("aaa,AAA,bbb,BbB,ccc,CcC", ",")
i = Array.FindIndex(ar, Function(x) Contains(x, s) = 0)
Console.WriteLine("I is " & i)
End Sub
Private Function Contains(a As String, b As String) As Integer
Dim returnValue As Integer = a.IndexOf(b, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
Console.WriteLine("Searching for '{0}' in '{1}' returning: {2}", b, a, returnValue)
Return returnValue
End Function

In other words, "if it's not found it returns 0, but if it's not found it returns -1".
Well, that's not going to confuse matters at all! 
If the sub-string is not found, it returns -1; if it is found, it returns the zero-based index at which it was found. It the sub-string is found at the start of the string, it returns zero.

Crap. 
Mistyped that one! It should be if the string to search for is Empty, 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
You've still got "a value greater than 0 if it is found", which should be "greater than or equal to 0" - if the sub-string is found at the start of the main string, IndexOf will return 0.

Is there a TimeZoneInfo in VB.NET 2005, all I can use is TimeZone.
that does't mean that I can't do it
|

|

The TimeZoneInfo class was added in .NET 3.5, so you'll need Visual Studio 2008 or higher.

Hello,
I am trying to get my program to open an external program. I also plan to make this portable, so I made a folder for my program to go to.
It's like this: Click OpenOffice and my program manager will go to:
Vegrard Suite\Vergard\OpenOffice\program\soffice.exe
This folder is located in the root directory of the program; wherever this root directory is in will make the program read the folder that's in its root directory.
The problem, however, is that I can't get the program to launch without going to a fixed location on the C drive "C:\Users\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Vergard Suite\Vergard\OpenOffice\program\soffice.exe". The idea is that wherever you put the application folder (Vergard Suite) , the program will always refer to the folder that the application is in to open the program (Vergard Suite\Vergard\); therefore, it can be made portable (like Windows 3.11: wherever the WINDOWS directory is located, Windows will go to the program's folder that was specified).
How do I get this to work???

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense. It may be obvious to you but the description is missing some critical detail.
Why would OpenOffice be under your Projects folder?
There are two paths to be aware of when launching an application. The first is the fully qualified path to the executable you're trying to launch. What this path contains is entirely dependent on when the application is installed. How are you getting this path?
The second is the "Startup Directory". This is what the current path should be when the target application is launched. Normally, this path doesn't matter at all, but some apps do require it. How are you going to determine if the app requires this and how are you going to determine what this path is?
There are the "well-known" paths that Windows supplies. Using the Environment.GetFolderPath() method will return the path of certain folders using an enumeration value to determine which folder you want the path for. See the documentation for GetFolderPath()[^] and SpecialFolder enumeration[^] for more information.
