Re: Showing child menu instead of MDI Parent menu in vb.net

The only way I can think of doing this, is by creating a local variable on your child forms, which exposes your parent form in the child. i.e. Private ParentForm as frmParent. You can pass this info through the constructor of your child form, and in the constructor set this variable like this

Public Sub New(ByVal Parent As frmParent)

    ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
    InitializeComponent()
    myParent = Parent
    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

End Sub

Then in your FormLoad event you can set the menustripitems.visible on the parent to false. like this

myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(0).Visible = False
myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(1).Visible = False

Not forgetting to set visible to true in your FromClosing Event.
Hope this helps

Might I humbly suggest that you have made a grave mistake in selecting CR as your reporting platform. If you have any choice in the matter I would suggest you do some research on the product and more importantly their support. It is abysmal.

Dev Express and Reporting Services have a better reputation and there are a few others that will be a better option than CR.

You would need to build your own, editable print preview does not make sense, what are you going to edit, it is REPORT data not interactive.

If you are storing the image directly to the database, convert to a Binary large Object and save it to an SQL table field of type varbinary, then just reverse the process when you're pulling it back out.

I know that there has the image type in the SQL SERVER,

you can store the picture as the image type to the SQL SERVER

Just be aware that can grossly inflate the size of your DB. I have typically used the 'store the image in the file system and then put the path to the image into the DB' method.

It's slightly more to manage and backup, but i think you will see that DB performance is better.

Make a background thread for servicing WinSock.

Move your WinSock listener to a background thread and this will free the UI thread to handle the UI stuff.
