Dig in to System.IO.File class. It provides a lot of static methods that might help you.

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time to find the way how to create application for time reservation which would look similar to outlook calendar (week or day view).The purpose of the program is to manage appointment to specialists in SPA center.
I can figure out the code for retrieving all the necesary data from database and the code to write the new data, but what i can't is to find then right control (-s) to use for visual illustration of the existing appointments.
So, as I see it, there shoud be two dimnesional table (or something like that) on one axis there should be "specialists" but on other - "timeline", and when I click or drag over the control, system opens new appointment form, where fields for "Time", "Specialist" and "Duration" is allready filled depending on the i clicked/draged over.
Does anyone can suggest me the conrol(-s) that i can use for this purpose? or maybe a sourcecode of something similar is available?
PS>I have a printscreen of similar system, but i couldn't find the way to attach that. So if necessary, I can send it by e-mail or attach it, if somebody tell me how to do that.
Thx in advance.M.

Hello,
I have 2 datagridviews, DGV1 and DGV2.
I need to make "dynamic interaction" between them, what I mean is the following:
when I am clicking on specific row in DGV1 I need to highlight correspondant row in DGV2. Until here everything works fine.
But in addition, I need the vice-versa:when I am clicking on specific row in DGV2 I need to highlight correspondant row in DGV1.
I am using DGV1_CellEnter and DGV2_CellEnter events
The problem is that I got error that each one call to the other (loop).
I can solve the problem by inserting flag but I would like to know if there is a better and elegant way.
Thank you

Short answer, check to see whether the selection of the grid you're working with matches the other selection before changing it. That way, only one update will occurr.

Can you please be more explicit. Thank you

Hi,
I'm currently working on a program where I have very big Integer array - with 81000000 elements.
I want to keep this array and the information within for future work, is there a way to save that
big array in file, and then to restore the array from that file?
Thank you in advance!

You can do that using serialization. There are classes available in .Net to serialize an object and save it to files. You can use them.

Thank You for the fast answer! I solve the problem and now I can save and open the array in binary file format!

Hi all,
using vb.net, i like to handle changes done by the user in the system control panel.
Example: In case user changes Date / Time settings i like to use the new settings i a running vb.net application.
What I have done is:
Public Sub New()<br />
MyBase.New()<br />
<br />
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.<br />
InitializeComponent()<br />
<br />
'Set the SystemEvents class to receive event notification <br />
'when a user preference changes, the palette changes, or <br />
'when display settings change.<br />
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging, AddressOf SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
<br />
Private Sub SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As UserPreferenceChangingEventArgs)<br />
MessageBox.Show("UserPreferenceChanging: " & e.Category.ToString())<br />
End Sub<br />
So i get a event in case of changes in the system control panel. This works.
Using the new settings from the control panel i can adjust the frontend and/or change the current culture settings.
But how is it now possible to read the current system settings for date and time ??????
Any comments pls.?!
regards,
bauer

DateTime.Now will give you the value.

No, this does not help.
What I like to do is:
VB.NET Applications starts and does some output for Date/Time Values using the current culture settings. This works, data format is englisch, german ...... No Problem.
Now the user changes the date/time format in the windows system control panel from english to german for example.
How to handle this change in the running vb.net application? I like to adjust the output of date/time fields to the new settings of the control panel.
regards,
bauer

Sory. Misread your question. ToSring method for a DateTime object has an overload that takes in CultureInfo. If you pass CurrentThread.CurrentCulture to it, I believe it would work.

Thank you for your answer.
This does not work, because if you change the windows culture (windows control panel) the Thread Culture in the running vb.net program does not change.
|
|
|
|
|
Just make sure you are calling CurrentCulture.ClearCachedData() method everytime before you access current culture. That will give the latest information.

yes, perfect. I didn't see the methode ClearCachedData. Thank you.
So complete coding is as follows. If the event is triggered for new settings in the windows control panel the Cached Info in the culture objects in cleared and a new transfer occurs from the datavariables to the frontend.
Imports System
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class Form1
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Adds Handler to receive Events for any changes in the windows control panel
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanging, AddressOf SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.PutDataToUI()
End Sub
Private Sub SystemEvents_UserPreferenceChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As UserPreferenceChangingEventArgs)
If e.Category = UserPreferenceCategory.Locale Then
My.Application.Culture.ClearCachedData()
My.Application.UICulture.ClearCachedData()
Me.PutDataToUI()
Else
End If
End Sub
''' <summary>
''' Puts some data to an textbox
''' </summary>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Private Sub PutDataToUI()
Me.TextBox1.Text = My.Application.Culture.DisplayName & vbCrLf _
& My.Application.Culture.EnglishName & vbCrLf _
& Now.ToLongDateString & vbCrLf _
& Now.ToLongTimeString & vbCrLf _
& Now.ToShortDateString & vbCrLf _
& Now.ToShortTimeString & vbCrLf _
& My.Application.Culture.Name & vbCrLf _
& My.Application.UICulture.NativeName
End Sub
End Class
My be coding helps anybody.

bauer

A good thing, actually; imagine you displaying a monetary value, and say the cultural settings would give you a dollar-sign as the monetary unit. The value displayed is '10';
"$ 10.00"
Now you change your settings to Dutch. If the format were applied blindly, the control would show the same value in the new format;
"€ 10,00"
That's the same value, but not the same amount
I guess that the new information is stored in the Registry. Open RegEdit and explore this key;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Eddy,
of course, I agree.
A coding like this
Dim x As Double = 5000
Me.TextBox1.Text = x.ToString("C", My.Application.Culture.NumberFormat)
with blindly transfer to the new format is absulutly nonsense.
Option (1): adjust the amount before transfering to the new format
Option (2): Donn't use coding like mentioned above. Use always dollar, euro....,
I use option(2).
Only for date/time formats i use automatic adjustment to the new format.

I tend to store DateTime in GMT[^]. That would be overkill though if you're always in the same timezone.
The same goes for currency-conversions, or any other value that depends on a unit of measurement.

Hi guys im using vb.net. I've got two forms and ON LOAD of form1 i want form2 to automatically show with form1 hideing
i have already tried me.hide and my.forms.form2.show howver this doesn't work

You want to close thie first form or hide it? Anyways, create an object of form2 and then call show. From what you have posted, I assume you are treating it as a static method.
By the way, if you are hiding/closing the form1 in its load itself, why do you even need it?

Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.Show();
That is the C# version of what I was telling.
