Third party tools (3 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
A question with regard to third party tools and Visual Basic. I was told the other day by a Visual Basic Programmer I know that in order to get a drop down list in a grid in Visual Basic, his company had to buy a third party tool to make it easier to deal with. I guess this has pluses and minuses. The plus seems to be that there are a lot of third party tools available. Just trying to get a handle...

Support for VB6 User Docs (.VPD) (2 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
With the introduction of the .Net Framework, has the technology of VB6's User Docs (.vpd) been retired? Will VisualStudio.Net *never* support VB6 User Docs? I was able to migrate an existing project (in VB6 terms, an ActiveX Document) to VS.Net but the GUI does not provide a viewer for .dob files. Jtr.

Form border style (6 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
In VB6 you can set a form's border style to fixed single, remove the icon altogether, and end up with a window that include only the closing X button in the title bar. This results in a dialog box with a normal sized caption bar. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this in .NET! You can't remove the icon from a form so there is no way to get rid of the control box and still retain the X button....

Licensing and practical use of VB (5 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
A beginners question about just how VB (VB.net) is used. I don't know exactly how to pose the question without stating how I am currently doing things, so I hope you will please indulge me for a moment. I currently use PowerBuilder as a tool for creating two tier database applications. I think it may be good for the client, however, to move to VB (VB.net) because it appears to be a good program an...
VB vs C# with Using/Namespace directives (2 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
In doing a simple 'hello world' program in vb and c# to understand differences, I see that classes in C# need using statements and namespace directives that are not needed in the same class in VB. See code below. These classes are instantiated by a web form built in Visual Studio, but if I take the using and namespace directives out of the C# version as with VB, the webform won't run. What is the ...

Hi I see 4 possibilities: 1. A client calls with Dim xy As ClassXY New ClassXY 2. Another constructor of the same class calls MyClass.New 3. A descendant class calls MyBase.New (4.) Class Code calls Me.New It could be useful to know who calls. Stephan
Unique GUID for each form at creation time - this one drives me nuts (2 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
Hi I want to give each form a primary key. This primary key (GUID) must remain the same from the first creation of the form (in the IDE) to eternity. But I do not want to enter this key manually for each form. It should be assigned automatically through the creation process of the form. Any ideas welcome. Another question that targets the same issue: Is there a way (e.g. Attribute) to force a form...

Combo and DatePicker Controls (9 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
The combo box and datepicker controls both have fixed heights which can't be changed. This is not entirely unreasonable but they are different. the combo control is set at 21 while the datepicker is set at 20. If both are used on the same form they look, well, unprofessional. Is there a way around this? Joe Griffith jgriffit@pensoft.com *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** D...
