You can't edit the inheriting form (at least not the parts that have been inherited). but you should be able to add controls to it and edit those.

No it causes problems on its own. People try it. IMHO it SHOULD let you but it doe snot work right, It stops you from being able to even open a form that derives from the base form in the designer at all.

There's no such thing.

The only thing you can do is setup security on the key that prevents other users from being able to see it if THEY run RegEdit. This requires knowledge of how Windows Security works, permissions, ACL's, ... The .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 does not provide any native support for doing this, so you have to write the code to P/Invoke all the necessary functions to setup security.

I am looking at these two different interefacing sytems within the framework, ICustomFormatter and IFormattable, and I trying to digest the pros and cons of each. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcompositeformatting.asp[^] Discusses some of the ordering differences, but I would like your opinions!

What is the differnce in this two interfaces?

X axis labels question - Web project

I can not figure out how to include a x axis label. When I run the program it only puts numbers 1 thru 6, which are the number of columns I have in the Bar2d graph. I would like to replace the 1 thru 6 with for example Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun.

The project is using the Imports GraphicsServer.GSNet.Charting and Imports GraphicsServer.GSNet.SeriesData in a web form.

Thanks in advance

John

You're best shot for support on 3rd party components is the manufacturer. Graphics Server Support[^]
Since there are literly thousands of components out there, it's really unlikely that someone familiar with the component would actually ever see your post.

conection string

Can you use just a connection string to connect to a database or do you always have to define it using the database connection dialog? I am using vb.net 2005 express. Also if not is it possible in another language?

Re: conection string

Dave Kreskowiak10-Feb-06 9:01

Dave Kreskowiak

10-Feb-06 9:01

Sure. It's a Connection String. All you need to do is specify what the SQL Server name is and the database to use:

Dim conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=serverName;Initial Catalog=databaseName")

This is, of course, a bit different for an Access database:

Dim conn As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=filePath;")

combo box

This is what I am using to populate a combo box.
cboSectionTitle.DataSource = premiumsListDataSet
cboSectionTitle.DisplayMember = "SectionTitle"
cboSectionTitle.ValueMember = "SectionID"

I get an error on the ValueMember line as follows:
can not bind to the new display member

I think there is a problem with the data but do not see what it is.
P.S. The SectionID column is not unique
in the table the fields parentID and SectionID are both primary keys

Thanks

Does that DataSet object have more than one table?? Bind to the appropriate Table or DataView in the DataSet, then the DisplayMember and ValueMember will actually mean something.
