Hi,

How to create, Edit and Load help file for each control. Or I would like to know how to write help file for my application for each control.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

You need not write saperate help files for each control,
what you can do is create 1 help file which has help info
about all controls in your app, and in the control property
provide different help keywords.

Every thing is MAYA

I have added a data grid. I am trying to change the default header of each column to another name. For example:

dgtsPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(0).HeaderText = "Employee ID"
        dgtsPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(0).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center

I keep getting an error. I want my first column to have employee id as the header. Any Sugggestion

Thank you,

I am trying to put a header on each of my columns in my data grid. I have the columns already there, but with a different name from when I made the data relations. For example on column one it has "fldEmployeeId". I just want "Employee ID". I am getting an error while trying to run it. It is telling me that

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dllAdditional information: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

The error is on the first line in this part of the code.

What am I doing wrong? I have a total of 6 columns. Any suggestions.

dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(0).HeaderText = "Employee ID"
        dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(0).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center        
dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(1).HeaderText = "Payroll ID" 
       dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(1).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center        
dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(2).HeaderText = "Pay Date" 
       dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(2).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center       
 dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(3).HeaderText = "Gross Pay"  
      dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(3).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right        
dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(4).HeaderText = "Withholding" 
       dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(4).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right        
dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(5).HeaderText = "Net Pay" 
       dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles(5).Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right

Thank you,

You need to create the GridColumnStyle first, then added it to the GridColumStylesCollection. Just indexing a GridColumnStyleCollection, like your doing, will not create a new column.

    Dim newGridColumnStyle As New GridColumnStyle
    newGridColumnStyle.HeaderText = "Employee ID"
    newGridColumnStyle.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center
 
    dgPayrollInfo.GridColumnStyles.Add( newGridColumStyle )
    .
    .
    .

I am finishing up the deployment package for my first VB.NET application. Is there a way I can add the VB redistributable to my startup project so that it will automatically install before my application, if it isn't already on the target machine?

Thanks!

No because your VB.NET app won't even launch without the .NET Framework already installed.

You'll have to install the framework during your app's installation. Search CodeProject and www.GotDotNet.com for articles on Bootstrapping Setup.

OK - I downloaded the dotnetfx.exe file and the Bootstrap example. I think I have those correct, but in one of the MSDN article on this, it says that "The following line of code launches a silent install of Dotnetfx.exe:

dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q"

Nowhere does it say where this code goes, or how it is called. This is my first VB.NET applicationm and things like this are very frustrating. Can anyone tell me how to implement this command? I am trying to put this application on a CD snd set it up so that the install begins automatically when the CD is inserted in the target computer, or the CD is inserted and the user clicks on "Startup" in the "Run" dialog box.

Thanks!

That command goes inside the Bootstrap sample. i haven't seen the code for it yet, mainly because I've deployed the .NET Framework to all of my client machines so I dont have to worry about this problem...

I'll check into the bootstrap sample and let you know...

OK. After looking at the docs for the Setup.exe bootstrap sample, you don't have to do anything with that command. It just said that that is the command that will be used to start the setup for the .NET Framework. All you need to do is create a Settings.ini file with the appropriate information in it and make sure it is in the same directory as the Setup.exe file:

CD Root Directory

Setup.exe
Settings.ini
dotnetfx.exe
myapp.msi
any other files your app needs...

I tried that and the .NET Framework installed, but the innstall was visible to the user. Isn't there a way to have .NET Framework install in the background?

Thanks!
