Tried adding post-it note to monitor but it still didn't work?
Just to recap:--
I need 5 Listboxes one Main Listbox (MLB) and four others LB1, LB2, LB3 and LB4.
After entering names in a Textbox and pressing enter the first name goes in to LB1 so does the 2 name, the 3rd and the 4th. The 5th name goes in to LB2 so does name 6, 7 and 8. LB3 gets the next 4 and LB4 gets the next four. Any other names that get entered go in to MLB.
Under each LB is a button and when pressed the four names in that LB get added to the bottom of the MLB and the top 4 names in the MLB go in to LB1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on which button under which LB was pressed.
Despite all the help and advice offered I have this working exactly as I want with no errors.
So it shows, that sometimes, the best help is when your help yourself.
And if it still proves difficult then visit a site that offers constructive help and advice.

My advice remains unchanged, as well as the verdict, as non-typical use of common controls is confusing to typical end-users.

If nothing changes, then you did not install it.

No, the setup contains all the stuff that you need.
Did you download from some generic "tools" site, or from a regular location? If the first, then check your computer for malware.

Yes, i installed a modified version bcoz the original version gives me error message saying (install shield 2015 requires MVS 2010, 2012, 2013 Or 2015 professional edition or greater to be installed on the machine)
maybe this is the problem
Any advice about it ?

A "modified" version sounds like a version with malware. Go to their site and download the trial, it doesn't have those requirements.

Thnx Eddy, 😘
Problem solved
I downloaded VS 2012 professional instead of express edition.
So, install shield worked correctly
======[]======[]=======[]========
Now i have another issue
I need to make a setup copy of my finished project and while the user is installing the project, he should be asked about location of the files that i used to create the project bcoz I need to give the setup to my friend but when he runs the exe file, it gives an error as he can't find the files that were used in creating the project
Can u guide me to solve this issue? ?

If InstallShield is working correctly, then it will ask you where to install those files. I haven't used an InstallShield installer in years, but I doubt that they'll have removed that feature 
Is your executable expecting files in a certain location? Did the installer throw an error, or did your executable throw an exception? If an exception, can you post the entire text, including stack-trace?

Maybe I can't explain my problem
But i will try explain another way
I use external .wav and .jpg files that are exist only on my pc
Now i need to copy my project to my friend's pc but he of course doesn't have my external files
Is there a way that i can copy these files inside the installation folder ?
|

You would normally add those to the InstallShield project and copy them to the same location as the executable. Problem is that you cannot assume that the path is the same as it is on your computer, so you can't hardcode those paths in code. The question was whether you did hardcode those paths
An alternative way would be to include those files as a resource in your executable, and to read the resources when needed. Adding them to the installer should be simpeler though.

Thanks, I took ur advice and added the files to the resources and that did the trick.
I'm facing another problem now as i try to make the setup using install shield, it can't read the arabic letters and it produces error
Is there a solution for this issue except for changing Arabic letters inro English ?

In InstallShield itself, or your application? If the former, then there isn't much one can do - albeit you could try their forums

1- "Error: -7184: the filename column of the file table includes characters that aren't available on code page 1252 "
2- "Error: -7184: the value column of the MsiAssemblyName table includes characters that aren't available on code page 1252 "
3- "Error: -7185: the English (united States) translation for string identifier IDS_SHORTCUT_DISPLAY_NAME1 includes characters that aren't available on code page 1252 "
I use arabic letters in coding and it's necessary to use it

Good, now how to Enable "Build UTF-8 Database" in "Releases" > (YourReleaseName) > "Build"-Tab ?
|

Dunno, would be something specific to InstallShield.
I for one don't like unicode characters in a path, and there's no way you can convince me that you "need" it.

I'm using entity framework with a visual studio 2013 application and SQL Server 2008R2. I have a table on the database :
id == name == quantity
1----- nm1---- 3
2------nm2---- 7
Now , I have this code
Dim query1 as ienumerable(of Table1)
query1=(From t in context.table1 where t.quantity>0 select t).Tolist
query1.First.quantity-=3
query1=(From t in context.table1 where t.quantity>0 select t).Tolist
Now, in the first line, query1 contains 2 objects nm1 and nm2 with quantity 3 and 7.
In the third line, query1 contains 2 objects nm1 and nm2 , but nm1 has quantity 0.
My question is :
-If the query on third line get the items from the database , the nm1 should have the quantity=3. Why this item has quantity 0?
-If the query on third line get the items from the local cache , should not contain nm1 at all because on the local cache nm1 has the quantity=0 and the query has the clause t.quantity>0.
Thank you!

Welcome to the wonderfully over-complicated world of Entity Framework!
The answer is actually somewhere in between the two: EF loads the matching entities from the database, which is why nm1 is returned; but when it sees that it's trying to load an entity that's already in the local cache, it ignores the data returned from the database, and returns the cached item instead.
There are various ways to work around this documented here:

Thank you !
But what I want is to read the modified values , but I want that the query include the where clause , so in other words I just want to have on query results only nm2.
So how can I force to load from cache with the where clause.

If you only want to query the entities which have already been loaded into memory, then you can query the DbSet(TEntity).Local property[^]:
query1 = (From t In context.table1 Where t.quantity > 0 Select t).ToList()
query1.First().Quantity -= 3
query1 = (From t In context.table1.Local Where t.quantity > 0 Select t).ToList()
However, this will not load any new entities which have been added to the database since your first query.
