You don't get copies of Lists, or any other reference type, without explicitly making the copies. It's never done implicitly.

My question has a scenario like this..
Example I made a solution program in vb.net called BookProgram then the compiler for debug is 32bit or x86 and for such coding I simultaneously made also on that solution x64 compiler debug (/assume they were on bin folder)
So is it possible to put a code that design to hide the form x86 program and show x64 form program vice versa without errors even though made in one solution program?
That concrete example is based on an uninstaller program because the anycpu is based on the current bit system and programs are likely missing vice versa to 86x compiler.

I really hate to tell you this but I've read and re-read your post a dozen times and nothing in your post was understandable. I have no clue what you're doing nor what you're having a problem with.

You would need a third program that will launch either the 32 or 64-bit version as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
What type of program will be like to open either 32 bit and 64 bit?
|
|
|
|
|
If the build target of the program was x86 (i.e. 32bit), the program will run in 32bit mode both on x68 and on x64 computers.
If the build target of the program was x64 (i.e. 64bit), the program will run in 64bit mode on x64 computers, but crash when you try to start it on x86 computers.
If the build target of the program was "Any CPU", the program will run in 32bit mode on x68 computers, and in 64bit mode on x64 computers.

guys can someone help in this problem i have been trying to save image into access table but the code i using is not working. here is the code
Private Sub Loadpicture_Click()
Dialog1.ShowOpen
Img.Picture = LoadPicture(Dialog1.FileName)
Private Sub Save_Click()
SavePicture Img.Picture, App.Path & "\photos\" & txtfullname.Text & ".jpg"
MsgBox "image saved", vbInformation, "New Solutions"
Adodc1.Refresh

Your code "isn't working" because you are saving the image to a file, you're not attempting to save it to a database.
Having said that, it is probably the better option - save the image to a specific folder then store the name of the file on your database
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to CHill60's comments, you are displaying a "image saved" message, without any checks to see that you have actually saved it. I see this more and more these days and find it quite worrying.
|

|
|
Saving images into an Access database can be a very bad idea, depending on the version you are using. Earlier versions stored images as uncompressed bitmaps, even if the original image was in a compressed format, such as jpeg
It's much better to store the image on disk, and store a pointer (path and filename) in the databse, and load the picture at runtime

Hi,
I've been using batch scripts to help automate pre-loads (pre configurations) of client computers for software installations. We support multiple software packages, from multiple program vendors.
What happens now is that the batch script asks a series of questions to "build" subsequent scripts to help with the automation. It works, but it's old-fashioned and brute force. Unfortunately, my programming background is batch and dBase, so I'm a little out of my depth. I'm up for a project, and would love to learn to program using this task as my educational trip!
Here's What I would like to do:
Have a script / application which starts a "GUI" to collect data (the variables used to install the various applications) and document the installation. Once done, the script should be able to SAVE The data to a file (thinking XML) and then fire off chained installations and or allow the technican to pick and choose what they would like to do (say something breaks mid-way through the chain, re-start at that point).
Is this something I should do with VBScript or a VB Application?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Scott

There are various installer programs available that will do all the hard work, and Google will find them for you.

Richard,
I've looked at a few and feel that the scope of our varied projects kind of precludes using them.
For example: Need to install 3 packages with command-line swithches
Need to apply registry "tweaks" to some based on the data locations found at the client site (we do not control this variable)
Need to apply patches based on end-user preferences.
The flexibility of our current setup is that it allows us to create / re-create on the fly while onsite. We are only onsite for the installation and don't necessarily have return visits to the location.
Thanks for your speedy response,
Scott

Well just about every other manufacturer finds that one or other of them works OK. If you feel that none of them meets your requirements then you have a long job ahead of you writing your own.
[edit]
I don't think this is a job for either VBScript or VBA, but for a proper programming language, like VB.NET or C#.

Yes, I was aware of that Richard, my question was would it be better to start it out in VB, VBScript, or perhaps you had a different recommendation. I specifically didn't mention using other vendor products. This isn't a speed-dependent undertaking, it's more of a learning process with a pay-off in the end in terms of having something custom and flexible for our small, but highly custom fishbowl.
Ok, I see you edited the response, thanks for the point. I've got some basic apps written in VB, so I'll most likely continue on using that. Thanks for your help and advice.

It may be worth looking into AutoIT[^].
I have not used it in anger, so to speak, but have heard it recommended on a few occasions and the scripting language does seem to have the features you are looking for.

HI, Guys
I am new at doing reports in VB.NET 2010. I saw so many tutorial on youtube which explains how to create reports in VS2010 using reportviewer, datasource etc. I saw that connection made by Datasource and then Fields are placed on report, then Create new form, place report viewers then select report from report source etc etc etc .
Basically tutorial explains how to create by report in VS by data source tools but what if I have to move or change path of Database (I use MS access for database).
I am able to do everything to generate report but i want dynamic connection string for report viewer, I am NOT using crystal report
How do I have database path @ run time, is there any link or video tutorial would be very help full.

Hi All,
I am new to here. I have a situation where I need to create zip files from 5k files but with condition, the size of the zip file should not be more than 2MB so. Here, what I am doing is, creating Numerous zip files from all the 5kfiles.
Is there any script, code already available for this task? Is it possible to achieve this?
Thank you In Advance,
Best Regards,
Arjun

It depends on the capabilities of the .ZIP library you're using. Consult the documentation on whatever you're using to find out if it can do that.
You may just have to add a file to the .ZIP, save it, check the file size, then add another until you cross the limit you're looking for. Once there, remove the last file and you're back down to whatever limit you imposed.

Have a look at DotNetZip[^] - the examples page[^] shows how to do this, under the title "Create a split zip containing all the files in a folder":
Using zip As New ZipFile()
zip.AddDirectory("c:\my Documents\ProjectX", "ProjectX")
zip.Comment = "This zip was created at " & System.DateTime.Now.ToString("G")
zip.MaxOutputSegmentSize = 2*1024*1024
zip.Save("ProjextX.zip")
End Using

hi evreyone,
i have a form "backgroundfrm" that contain only a panel and another form "Mainfrm"
that have more than one button. The buttons backcolor properties set to
tansparent. I load the "backgroundfrm" inside the "Mainfrm" so the "backgroundfrm"
act as a background of the "Mainfrm". My codes are working but the problem is..
The buttons is not blending to the background ("Backgroundfrm" act as background
of "Mainfrm"). Its not transparent anymore.
I hope you understand me guys.
Help me please...
Thank you in adnvance..
Here's my codes
Dim bckgrndfrm As New backgroundfrm
bckgrndfrm.TopLevel = False
bckgrndfrm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
bckgrndfrm.Visible = True
Me.Controls.Add(bckgrndfrm)

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.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String")
FITEMNO.ColumnName = "FITEMNO"
rs_Table.Columns.Add(FITEMNO)
Dim FDESCRIPT As DataColumn = New DataColumn
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()
rs_DataRow(0) = "17-209SOFT"
rs_DataRow(1) = "Troxell Supersoft Kneepad Original Small"
rs_Table.Rows.Add(rs_DataRow)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
ds.DataSetName = "ds_item_profit"
ds.Tables.Clear()
ds.Tables.Add(rs_Table)
ds.Tables(0).TableName = "tablix_item_profit"
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"
rv_Canvas.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("ds_item_profit", ds.Tables(0)))
'Refresh the Report
rv_Canvas.RefreshReport()
End Sub

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?
