    - Initial opening speed Hi My vb.net seems to be slow on initial loading. My clients are not impressed as they had used the ms access version of the app previously and think that the old app is faster in loading. I understand .net apps need to compile themselves before execution. Is there any way I can speed up this process or in general do anything else to speed up initial loading of the vb.net app?

    - UserControls? I am a web developer by trade, but have done a little with winforms. How can I add a winforms user control to an application without having to create a separate project for each control? From what I have been reading, you need to create a project for the user control, build it, and then add it to the tool box. Once it is in the tool box you can drag it onto the form or other control. I want the user controls to be part of the base project and add them to the forms without having to build them each time I make a change. Can I modify the designer.vb file to do what I need?

    - DataGridView & TabPages Hi, This is my first message to this group. I've already search the web, google, this group, found some clues to my problem but found no solution or workaround. So please let me explain my problem: I'm developing an application, which has custom UserControls containing DataGridView controls being put inside TabPages of a TabControl at runtime (I hope this made sense). Well, those are being added dinamically at runtime simply because VisualStudio keeps deleting my controls due to a bug in the designer. This is a issue, but the problem I'm facing now is other. Please check those images: http://www.comp.ufscar.br/~cesarsouza/archive/CSharp/bug/ The first image is of my application, windowed, in normal mode, with the DataGridView loaded. Then, the window is maximized in the second image, and you can notice the grid didn't resize itself. Now, the third image reveals that the 'gap' produced is indeed not being redraw at all. The DataGridView is anchored on the four directions inside the UserControl, which is set to DockStyles.Fill inside the tab page. An interesting thing is, everything happens normally _before_ the data has been loaded and the data is bound. The same occurs backwards, i.e. If I load the data when the window is maximized and then resize it, the DataGridView gets bigger than its container control and becomes corrupted. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the framework (I'm using 2.0) dealing with DataGridViews being put inside TabPages. If someone has already face this problem, please let me know. If nothing else works, I would like to know how I could force a complete redraw, or a re-bind after I completed a resize move. Just calling dataGridView.Refresh(), Invalidate, Redraw, or whatever seems to have no effect. Thanks in advance, Cesar Souza Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116146

    - Table Adapter parameters I was successfully calling a TableAdapter.Fill command in code which was tied to an SQL stored procedure. I changed the stored procedure to include two additional parameters and it stopped working in code. The stored procedure works when previewing it in the dataset designer. But the line of code comes up with an error stating 'Expression Expected' and the comma after the first parameter is underlined. Can't find the problem. I only added three additional parameters in the stored procedure which I include on the line of code but no dice. Any ideas?

    - Save user preferences? I know this has been discussed before, but I really need a good example of how this works. I am developing an application that houses some user preferences and also will allow the user to save the entire project to a file. Instead of creating XML files that will be saved to a directory, what is the best way to combine all that information into one binary file?

    - Dynamic event handlers Hi, I am trying to dynamically generate a menu, based on entries on a text or xml file. The text file contains the "tree" after which the menu will need to be created. Something like the following: Level 1 -- Level 2 -- Level 2 Level 1 -- Level 2 ---- Level 3 I can read the file and generate each menu item definition, with the corresponding "nesting", without a problem. What I'm having difficulties with is deciding on how to handle the events for each of the menu items. Generating the full menu dynamically would mean having to create the event handlers dynamically, unless I have a fixed amount of event handlers, which I'm not sure is the best approach. I might be wrong here... 1. What's the best way to generate event handlers dynamically? I've read about runtime IL generation, which makes sense but is a bit complex. 2. Using regular event handlers (hard coded), can I capture which of the menu items is being clicked and what component is the menu being displayed on? i.e., if the menu is being displayed after a right click on a button or a picture box, can I: 1) know if it's the picture box or the button displaying the menu? and 2) can I know what menu/sub menu is being clicked? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, </edwin> Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116136

    - managed Multimedia development I may be missing something, so I'm making this a general question. I need to do some multimedia work. Essentially display a movie image (or two in one windw) plus some text and overlay text. For the overlays to work I'll need to be able to identify the movie frame being shown (ideally via an event). I expect to use Windows Media Video 9 movies as a minimum, though Flash support would also be nice, and Quicktime support nicer still. The end devie will be semi-embedded, and run on XPe at least, though I'd love to be able to compile onto the .NET CF and run under CE6.0. I've been working with the Quartz library and a public domain managed code wrapper for that library. To the question - there must be a better way than this! Have I completely missed some .NET class? Yes, I've messed with the Media Player DLL but that just doesn't have the fine control of the Quartz functions .. but the Quartz functions are not managed and the process of calling it from a .NET environment is .. well .. kludgy. Any help or advice appreciated. Phil Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116133

    - DNS-less Connection String Using VS2K5 Datasource Connection Wizard The quick question is: when creating an SQLdatasource using the wizard in VS2K5 which requires a new connection, does VS2K5 create a DNS-less connection or not? The long question is: I've been told that DNS connections strings (Datasource=DNSName) are old news and that I should be using a DNS-less connection string (like Datasource=ServerName); however, none of my connection strings created with the wizard work anymore now that I've deleted the DNS ODBC connection with the same name as the SQL Server. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks, Ross Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116104

    - Copying data between two forms, allocated memory continues to grow Hi, I have a simple memory problem with two forms on a MDI project. The first form (MainForm) open a second one (ImageForm). Both the forms have an instance to a dataset (DataSet1). On the ImageForm Form_Load event, I wrote code to copy all the records from the MainForm.DataSet1.TB_Images dataTable to the ImageForm.DataSet1.TB_Images dataTable. Note that TB_Images has an Image Field. I can't understand why opening and closing ImageForm many times, the allocated memory continues to grow. This is the code: ' the MainForm opens the ImageForm: Private Sub OpenImageForm() Dim f As New ImageForm If f.ShowDialog(Me.ParentForm) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'do stuff (or do nothing, the problem doesn't change) End If f = Nothing End Sub 'the Form_Load event of the ImageForm Private Sub ImageForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _ System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Me.DataSet1.TB_Images.Clear() For Each rwImages As DataSet1.TB_ImagesRow In _ CType(Me.Owner, MDIParent)._MainForm.DataSet1.TB_Images Me.DataSet1.TB_Images.ImportRow(rwImages) Next End Sub Any help appreciated!

    - DataGridView Column Resizing Just Quit On Me?? I have a DataGridView "grid" filling a splitter panel and have set: grid.AllowUserToResizeColumns = true; Until just recently the column resize worked perfectly when I drug a header column divider. Now, it has just stopped allowing me to grab the column divider? I can still reorder the columns by dragging them around ... so that feature is still working. The sorting by column feature works too. Any clues? How do you troubleshoot such a problem? I've been working on various other portions of the program ... but none of that work should impact the grid's settings. I am really stumped here. :( Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks. -- Tom Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116100

    - BackgroundWorker and ListView cross-thread exception Hi, I am writing an application which displays a list of computers on a network and then pings each one and displays the result. To keep the UI responsive, I am doing the ping operation using a BackgroundWorker component. The Ping method loops through a list of Computer business objects, pings the name of the computer and stores the result in a property of the Computer object called Result. The Computer object also implements INotifyPropertyChanged interface, which raises a PropertyChanged event when the Result property is modified. I have an event handler in my form class which listens for the Computer.PropertyChanged event, and attempts to update the corresponding ListViewItem with the result of the ping. However, as soon as I reference the ListView control, or any of the items, I get: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ComputerListView' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. How can I ensure the ListView gets updated? Regards, James Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116032

    - Toolbars change locations I am building a Windows Forms application in .NET 2.0 using VS 2005. The application has a menu strip and a tool strip control at the top of the form. The bottom of the form contains two status bars. I have found that when I build my Release version and distribute it that others using the application start it up and the toolbars and status bars change location. For example the Toolstrip appears above the menu strip control, even though in my code the design is explicitly set so that the menu is on the top and the Toolstrip is below it. I have tried setting the locations manually in the code. I have tried removing the controls from the controls collection and explicitly adding them back to the controls collection in the order that I wish them to appear. Still, regardless of what I do the toolstrips move. Is there a way to "lock" down the toolstrips so they stay where the designer (me) has put them? It looks extremely unprofessional to open an application and have the toolstrips appear above the menu. Thanks, Matt Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 116007

    - Textbox input from a customized location Hi, Environment : VS 2005 / .NET 2.0 / Windows XP SP2 Requirement : class MyTextBox : TextBox { // more code } When I run the application my text box caret blinks in its usual place ( at the left ). I want the cursor to be X pixels from the left of the text box and hence the user can only enter data from that location. I tried with SelectionStart += X pixels -- it did not work Then I pinvoke SetCaretPos(X, Y ) - showed up the caret position properly. Problem : Though the caret position shows up properly, when I type text within my text box, the text is taken from the 0th location . How can I force the user to enter data from the X th location where the cursor is placed . NOTE : I have handled OnPaint to do some graphics drawing inside the textbox... dont think this has any relevance with this query ; just FYI if something is linked up to this . Thanks in advance .

    - Checkbox and selectnextcontrol When selecting a Checkbox using the SelectNextControl() method, i've noticed that the checkbox does not display the focus rectangle. By writing a simple application with a button and two checkboxes (where the checkboes have a tab index value greater than the button's), invoking the SelectNextControl() method from the button click event handler, silently moves focus to the first checkbox, but no focus rectangle is displayed. Pressing TAB once, moves the focus to the second checkbox, which can be seen as the focus rectangle IS displayed. Any suggestions on how to get the focus rectangle to display for a checkbox when using the SelectNextControl() method to move to it initially?

    - "Locked" controls? Hi everybody, in a VB.Net (VS 2005) application, there is basically three "states" in which controls are to signal what can be done with them. Usually, values loaded into controls may be looked at, but not edited ("Locked"). In certain cases (simplest: user has the permission to change data), controls allow changing their contents. While certain operations are being carried out, controls are completely disabled (i.e. the form itself has its Enabled-property set to <False>). Thus I need a way of at least visually distinguishing between <.Enabled = False> and i.e. <"Locked" = True>. The easiest way would be to have controls appear exactly as the <.ReadOnly> property does - the controls' background appears grayed out, but the forecolor remains black. This also enhances readability and copying text or seeing the tooltip is also possible. Too bad this property can only be found in some controls but not even for some the most usual ones, i.e. TextBox and DataGridView have it, but ComboBoxes and DatePickers don't. The <EnabledChanged> event didn't help either, as setting the forecolor of the resepective control seems to not be considered when the control is disabled. Any idea how I could realize something like a <ReadOnly> appearance for controls that themselves do not publish that property?

    - Getting benefits of Application Framework while using Sub Main for I have an application that uses Sub Main as the Startup Object. However, there are certain features available when enabling the Application Framework (e.g. specifying splash screen, single instance application, application-level events, etc.) that I have forfeited by doing this. I'm not sure why one can't have a Startup Object of Sub Main when enabling the Application Framework, but I'm sure there's a good reason. So, here are my questions: Right now the only thing I'm doing in the Sub Main is 1) creating some global objects that will then be available to all forms, etc. in the application, and 2) loading a login form where the user can login. I then check to see if login was successful, and run the application if it was. Here's the code: <STAThread()> Public Sub Main() CreateGlobalObjects() ' Let user attempt to login Dim login As LoginForm = New LoginForm() login.ShowDialog() If (login.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK) Then Application.Run(New MainForm()) End If End Sub QUESTION 1: Is there a way that I could accomplish the same thing but do it using a form (LoginForm I'd presume) as the Startup Object? QUESTION 2: What are the good reasons to use Sub Main rather than a form as the Startup Object? QUESTION 3: If I can't do the same thing using a form as the Startup Object, how could I 1) implement a Splash screen, and 2) limit application to single instance, bringing up existing instance if user tries to run again?

But in my code I have: Status.Text += String.Format("Opening {0}\n",Path.GetFileName(strFile)); And I get the following error: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'FileProcess.'FileProcess.Status' How can that be????

Some of the controls (mainly buttons) will be placed off the visible area. If I edit the form, all of the locations change because my version of VS will add the Margin assignment in. If I send it back to him, the same thing happens and he can't see everything. We are both using VS 2005 with all updates applied (that I am aware of at least). Has anyone seen this before, or is there a setting that I'm just not aware of to default the padding. Any help is appreciated.

    - DropDownButton inside datagrid strange problem Hi, I have a datagrid with a colum of DropDownButton type, I did this a lot of times successfully, but now I don't know what's happens. It runs ok, but it don't show displaymember in the grid (it shows value member a id number). It only shows displaymember field if I click in the droDownButton. Here a screenshoot to see it: http://www.hhdirecto.net/drowdown.jpg Do you know what could be the problem? Thanks in advance Tag: What is the best way to display a bunch of text with links and Tag: 115972

Is it web browser control or richtextbox?

This is for display only. Also I need to handle link clicks and
perform custom actions based on that.

Thank you!

I think it's easier with the WebBrowser control because it is more complete
in terms of hyperlink support.

Note that the linklabel control can be used in simple scenarios.
