I can't figure this out. This is my first expression of this type.
I just want to write a shipping address into a single textbox on the RDLC report canvas without creating a set of textboxes
So I have tried this.
I don't understand the line numbers, should it be all on one line, or like code where I can use multiple lines.
Perhaps the ampersand is the wrong concat char to use, or the way I tried to create spaces is wrong.
=Parameters!address_Streetline1.Value & System.Environment.NewLine & Parameters!address_Streetline2.Value & System.Environment.NewLine & Parameters!address_City & " " & Parameters!address_StateCode & " " & Parameters!address_PostalCode & " " & Parameters!address_CountryCode
=Parameters!address_Streetline1.Value & System.Environment.NewLine &
Parameters!address_Streetline2.Value & System.Environment.NewLine &
Parameters!address_City & " " &
Parameters!address_StateCode & " " &
Parameters!address_PostalCode & " " &
Parameters!address_CountryCode
<pre>

I got schooled in expressions. I forgot the values part
=Parameters!address_Streetline1.Value & VbCrLF &
Iif(Parameters!address_Streetline2.Value = "", nothing, Parameters!address_Streetline2.Value & VbCrLF) &
Parameters!address_City.Value & " " &
Parameters!address_StateCode.Value & " " &
Parameters!address_PostalCode.Value & " " &
Parameters!address_CountryCode.Value

I'm struggling with a simple task of finding the Index of a line in a Listbox based on the first two characters of the string, Listbox line item.
My best code finds the index of the last item, not the item containing the specified search string.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim find As String, i As Long, found As Boolean
find = "0,3"
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
If StrComp(find, List1.List(i), vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
found = True
List1.SetFocus
List1.ListIndex = i
Exit For
End If
Next
MsgBox " Index # is: " & i
End Sub
Sample Listbox lines: ("-" indicates a space, forum wouln't display spaces)
0,0 - Item one - Item two - 4/27/2015 9:15:00 AM
0,3 - Item one - Item two - 4/27/2015 9:25:00 AM
0,1 - Item one - Item two - 4/27/2015 10:15:00 AM
0,2 - Item one - Item two - 4/27/2015 10:25:00 AM
So the result of the above is: 4, not 2. My attempts at using 'Left' haven't worked.
Any advice appreciated.

You are trying to compare different length strings. You need to extract the first characters from the list item before doing the compare.

[Solved]
I created a function to select and read 0 to List1.ListCount items, split lines at each comma, and compare the first two values of each line. When the correct pair of values are found, that index is deleted, and the listbox is refreshed.

Have you tried something like this?
If StrComp(find, Left(List1.List(i), 3), vbTextCompare) = 0 Then

I run my application and i have this error:

Something needs permission.

Something needs permission to run but since we know nothing about what your code was doing at the time, what this application is supposed to do, how you're running it, ..., nothing, there's nothing anyone can tell you that would be helpful.
The quality of the answer you get is directly dictated by the quality of the question you ask.

Hi,
I have two VB.Net Projects. For Example Project1 and Project2. I make exe to Prject2. Project1 has one MDI Form. I want to run Project2.exe in MDI_Form in Project1 when click a button in Project1.
I can run to Project2.exe from Project1 but it doesn't run in MDI Form in Project1. It's open in another window.
Thanks.

Every process will open in it's own window. You cannot prevent that. There is also no standard way of getting the window into another application as this is something that is not supported.
It can be done, though you may not like the results. You have to create a MdiChild form in your MDI project. Don't put anything on the form. When you launch your other project, create an instance of your child form and set it up as a MdiChild as normal.
After you launch your other process, you have to wait until the Process.WaitForInputIdle is true to be sure the process window has been created. When that finally happens, you can get the Process.MainWindowHandle property value. You then call the Win32 API function SetParent to reparent the process window to your child form. Your essentially making your MdiChild form the new Desktop window for your other app.
BUT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE BEHAVIOR OF THE CHILD PROCESS WINDOW! Users can maximize, minimize, move, whatever, ... the process window inside your MdiChild form. There's really nothing you can do to prevent this.

Hello !
Maybe it's a stupid question , but I want to know if exist on vb.net any way to have a Partial Public Sub ?
Thank you !

Hi,
I have the following method in my (Windows) application to format a report in a DataGridView. The report has a variable amount of columns.
Private Sub FormatColumns(ByVal dgv As DataGridView)
Try
For Each clm As DataGridViewColumn In dgv.Columns
Select Case True
Case clm.Name Like "Konserni"
clm.Width = 150
Case clm.Name Like "Ketju"
clm.Width = 150
Case clm.Name Like "Myyjä"
clm.Width = 150
Case clm.Name Like "Myynti"
clm.Width = 100
clm.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "c"
Case clm.Name Like "Budjetti"
clm.Width = 100
clm.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "c"
Case clm.Name.ToLower Like "kate"
clm.Width = 120
clm.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "P"
Case Else
clm.Visible = False
End Select
Next
Catch ex As Exception
EC(ex)
End Try
End Sub
When I run the report, and apply this method all columns are formatted as percentages (except the string values of course). It is supposed to format each column differently, depending on the type of value.
What am I doing wrong, or what did I misunderstand about (the use of) DefaultCellStyle ?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Johan

I doubt there is a problem with DefaultCellStyle. The DefaultCellStyle only applies to the column you set it in, not to all columns.
Set a breakpoint on the For Each line and step through the code in the debugger, line by line, so you can see what the code is seeing and doing. I really wouldn't use the Like operator here since it's intended for pattern matching, not outright equality.

Hi Dave,
Thanks, I will try step through.
Regards,
Johan
P.S. In the real code I am matching a pattern, it appears that the stars were dropped by the codeproject editor.

Ok, so I tried step through, and the only thing unexpected that I see, is that once the Format property has been set for a column in the loop, that setting is maintained through subsequent loops, until changed (again).
So unless this is a bug or some cache issue in the debugging process, showing the value of a property incorrectly, I suppose it is possible that properties of the DefaultCellStyle, accessed through the column, get set for all columns in the DataGridView, not just for that specific column.
I have worked around this by using:
DataGridViewCell.Style.Format , but it takes noticeably longer now that I need to apply formatting one cell at a time.

Nope. ``DefaultCellStyle`` applies ONLY to the column that it is set on.
Also, there is no debugging "cache".
I coudln't tell you what's going on because we simply don't have enough information on your code and how the rest of the grid is setup.

Hi Dave,
Would it suffice if I tell you the steps (in pseudo code) ?
1. Open Visual Studio 2012 Express
2. Start new Windows Forms project (.NET 4)
3. Drag DataGridView and button controls onto Window
4. Press button =
- Use SqlCommand to run MS SQL stored procedure that returns a table
- Use SqlDataAdapter to enter data into DataSet
5. BindingSource.DataSource = DataSet
6. DataGridView.DataSource = BindingSource
7. Run Method as in my original post

Johan

No, because that is what you THINK the code is doing. The real code is required to show what the code is ACTUALLY doing.

Hi Dave,
You were right (as usual).
I found that I was calling another method (see below) before using the one I posted originally. When I commented this one out, the first method worked as expected. Looking at it though, I don't see how this method caused the unexpected behavior. As far as I can tell, it is pretty much doing the same thing.
Public Sub FormatTable(ByVal dgv As DataGridView)
Dim cs_Default As New DataGridViewCellStyle(dgv.DefaultCellStyle)
Dim cs_Money As New DataGridViewCellStyle(cs_Default)
Dim cs_Date As New DataGridViewCellStyle(cs_Default)
Dim cs_String As New DataGridViewCellStyle(cs_Default)
Dim cs_Integer As New DataGridViewCellStyle(cs_Default)
Try
With cs_Date
.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
End With
With cs_Money
.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight
.Format = "F"
End With
With cs_Integer
.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight
.Format = "N0"
End With
With cs_String
.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
End With
For Each clm As DataGridViewColumn In dgv.Columns
Select Case clm.ValueType
Case Type_Double, Type_Long, Type_Decimal
clm.DefaultCellStyle = cs_Money
Case Type_Integer
clm.DefaultCellStyle = cs_Integer
Case Type_String
clm.DefaultCellStyle = cs_String
End Select
Next
Catch ex As Exception
EC(ex)
End Try
End Sub

Johan

There is probably something in between this method and the other one. Having multiple methods to format a grid is a bad idea because of the problem you're running into, though it's, sadly, kind of common.
If I have multiple grids I need formatted differently, but overall styled the same, I normally create my own DGV class, inheriting from the .NET DGV, setup the base styles common to all grids, then use that I my forms.
When I need to setup formatting, I have a method on the form that hosts the grid explicitly setting up the one grid instance with the things that are over and above the items setup in the base grid. This sometimes results in a duplication of code but I consider that a small price to pay for flexibility when I need to change a grid here and there.
Now, you might want to step through this code and the other code. It would appear that you're replacing the entire style of a column instead of making changes to it. If this code is called to setup your grid and then you call the other method to further change it you could be replacing the styles from one method with the styles from another instead of making changes to the style that is in place.

I think "SELECT CASE TRUE" would always select the same case. Did you want to switch on the name?

Hi,
In VB the switch works like this. In other words, "Select the first case which' outcome conforms to the main statement".
It appears that the codeproject editor dropped the stars from the pattern matching.
