Hi Daniel,
I'm not sure it is possible to achieve what it is you are trying do, but I do have a bit of past experience with MDI forms.
I originally wrote an application where I wanted to change the backround image of the MDI form. This is not possible by setting the forms "BackgroundImage" property. I found that the MDI form has a control on it that handles all the displaying of child forms. It is this control that I had to alter the background image property of.
Below is a snippet of code I used to achieve this, perhaps you can manipulate the MDI form control in a similar fashion to what I did to achieve your rounded corners:
For Each Mdi_display As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf (Mdi_display) Is MdiClient Then
' Set colour to white
Mdi_display.BackColor = Color.White
' Centre the image
Mdi_display.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Center
' Set background image
Mdi_display.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.Main_background
Mdi_display.Refresh()
' All done!
Exit For
End If
Next
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,
thanks for that. Works great for a background image (which I might add in later, looks better than the grey and much nicer than doing it the way I was fiddling with before). Unfortunately, the client area still has a square border around it :/

A little Searching goes a long way.
Here is an article that showed up Searching "SQL Server Network" here at Code Project. Finding SQL Servers on the Network[^]
If your having specific issues then post those instead of a very general question, which is why no one responded to you.

Hello, I have to create a small program that allows a Check box that controls a label message on aother form to show a message when the box is checked, the label is on Form1 and the radio button is on Form2.
But I dont know how to get a Check box to control something on another form, Any help would be great thank!
(Im using Visual Basic.net 2002 on Windows XP)

In the CheckedChanged event of you check box, use an If statement to detect the check state of the check box. Then, (depending on the check state), change the label.
For example:
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Form2.MyLabel.Text = "Checked"
Else
Form2.MyLabel.Text = "Unchecked"
End If
End Sub
Hope this helps.

Sir/Madam,
I am facing the problem in the query implementation in vb.net.Like I have an id that is present in 5 tables(like table1,table2,table3,table4,table5).I have to pick those records from table1 which are not present in tabl15.I mean an id number 1 is present in table1,table2,table3,table4 .but the id number 1 is not present in table5.My final motive is i have to pick all the id like 1.
i am using the query in the following way.
dim str as string = "Select able1.field1,table2.field1,table3.field1,table4.field1
from table1,table2,table3,table4,table5
where
(table1.id<>table5.id and table2.id <> table5.id and table3.id <> table5.id
and table4.id<> table5.id)
it is showing those records that are not present in table5 but present in the remaining tables.
But the problem is , there occured duplicacy.I mean one record is iterating 24 times i the final result.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards
Pankaj

Hi Guys,
Happy new year everyone!!!
Resolution I: Reduce number of all-nighters from 366 to 365
Resolution II: Reduce coffee consumption from 700lt to 700lt – ½ cup
Anywho…back to the problem. I was trying to think of a simple solution for auto-patch/upgrade engine for one of my last projects. Obviously didn't go very far.
If any one has some ideas or links to point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
Thanking in advance
Happy Coding
The perfect code is always in your head...it just a matter of how hard you bang your head against the wall to get it out!

Wasn't Click Once deployment developed for this purpose? Hmm I think there might also be some features for auto updating as part of MSI installers. 
If neither of those two options will work then take a look at this thread, while it’s a different language the concepts are still the same.

Hi,
Any one have an idea about counting total records in a reader.
Thanks,

Read all the rows out counting as you go. There is no method for giving you a count ahead of time.
|

Just had another thought. You can send the query SELECT COUNT(*) FROM .... to the datbase followed by the query where you replace COUNT(*) with the columns that you actually want. That way the first result set out of the Data Reader will contain the count. Remember to put both in a transaction so that the count does not change between queries as it is possible another process could sneak in and insert or delete a row in the table you are selecting from.

Hi,
I am trying to write a wrapper for the DAAB in Ent Lib 2.0 since I have to use MS Access.
As usual, I am facing hurdles right at the start. When I try to return the data reader from the wrapper class, I get the error "connection not initialised". I am using the Generic Database class. The relevant code is posted below:
Dim objCommand As DbCommand
Try
Dim db As Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database
db = New GenericDatabase(ConnectionString, DBProvider)
'db.CreateConnection.Open()
objCommand = db.GetSqlStringCommand(strSQL)
error here --> Dim dr As IDataReader = objCommand.ExecuteReader()
'Dim dr As IDataReader = db.ExecuteReader(strSQL)
Return dr
I get the error:
Connection property has not been initialised.
I have tried with opening the connection, getting the datareader directly etc., but still the same error. And yes, the connectionstring is correct. The provider I am using is OleDB.OledBFactory.Instance.
Any help/guidance on this is really appreciated.

Thanks a lot!!!
I guess I was looking at the code too hard...
But there is something nagging me at the back of my mind.
I think I will test more and respond.
Thanks again.

Hi .
I've managed to create a printing method and at the moment i'm using hardcoded margins. i need advice on things i've noticed which
1. print preview is aligned where as print out is only slightly off.
can u give me advice on what to code for e.g. do i need to simply add pagesettings dialog to manipulate margins or should i get real printer hardware margins and use them. what is the pro way to do this and the best way.
perhaps you can also be kind enough to show me a source example aswell.

I have created a class in my project in a seperate file to the main form. When I try to use the maths class functions in this class such as Math.Abs(x) I get a build error message " Name 'Math' is not declared" but when I use the same function in the main form I have no problem with using it. Can anyone help?
|
|
|
|
|
use System.Math.Abs(x)

I am trying to make a note card program, can someone help me out? I need help making the program, i would like it to have a form with a textbox for a word, definition, sentence, and a synonym. And users should be able to add words and save lists from the initial form. Then when they click a study button, another form should open up, and it should randomly select a word from the list and show them only the word. Next, when they click Flip! they should see the definition, sentence, and synonym. I will post what i have so far, but my vb skills are a bit rusty, so if someone could help me, it would be appreciated. http://www.mediafire.com/?enkqyoyzwzy

IMHO, What do you really need is a good VB tutorial.
