    Accessing workgroup shares with Server 2003

    Hi All I am having a problem that is probably an easy one. Any help would be appreciated. I have a workgroup network at home with several computers. I have just installed Server 2003 R2 on my notebook because it was a prerequisite for the software I need to use. The other computers are XP Home...

    Exporting chart as image

    Hello I am using Visual Basic .NET 2003 and the bundled Crystal Reports that comes with it. I would like if I can, to use the graphing engine in CR and export graphs as an image that I can use in other ways. Is this possible? I guess that it is since reports can be shown in HTML form and I...

    Newby question about references in VB.NET

    Please forgive the trivial question, but I cannot work this out. I want to be able to do the following: dim A as integer dim B as object = A B=33 and I need A to become 33. In other words I want to tell B to be a pointer or reference to A so that when I assign to B then that changes A. Is...

    Persisting preferences - the best way?

    Hi All I am currently designing my first major application in VB.NET and I want to get it right first time. I would like to know what the industry standard method is for persisting preference settings and form positions etc. For example, I have a number of pages of user options / preferences...

    Suppress drilldown / dual columns

    A couple of simple questions hopefully: 1) In the case of a main report with subreports can you prevent the user clicking the subreport area in the main report and having it open in a new tab? I tried ticking Suppress in the Section where the subreport is but it still occurs. I want the report...

    Reusing a dataset for multiple reports

    I'm only starting out with CR. What I want to do it use a single dataset containing a large number of records, and use it to supply a number of subreports with different views into the data. I wanted to avoid reloading more or less the same dataset for each subreport, if I could get away with...

    Crystal Reports 10 Dynamic Report Creation

    Hello Ido Thanks for the quick reply and the good advice. That solution looks good. For ultimate flexibility, is it possible to assign an arbitrary report decided at runtime to each of the sections you mentioned? ie. can I pick from say 10 possible .rpt files and assign them as required to 5...

    Crystal Reports 10 Dynamic Report Creation

    I'm still interested in hearing ideas about this. I am looking to do a similar thing myself using Crystal Reports in Visual Studio .NET 2003. What I need to do is create a report that contains one or more of say 5 predefined reports, depending on user selection. A user might like to have an...

    Protected property access

    Thank you both for your comments. I think I can see what you are both saying. Chrissie1, my response is that the SpecialTCPClient does everything that the TCPClient does plus the extra functions I add. Therefore if a TCPClient object is received you don't believe I should be able to put it...

    Protected property access

    I am using the TCPClient class in a project, and it has a protected property 'Client' which I would like to access to get properties of the underlying socket. As I understand it, a protected property can only be accessed from within the base class and derived classes, therefore I cannot access...

    GUI class design

    Thanks BobRodes I looked up the Model View Controller pattern, and I think that also answered another question I had. Sometimes I notice interaction between different sections of applications; for example, if you get a list of files using the search function in Windows Explorer, and then...

    GUI class design

    I have embarked on my first major project in VB.NET 2003 and I am seeking guidance on how to do the GUI interface. I am comfortable with the concept of classes now and I have been successfully building some components with classes and my limited understanding of design patterns. I would like to...

    Controlling behaviour of input forms with a controller class

    I was hoping to get some advice for a problem I am having. I need to call up a sequence of forms to get user input in a certain order. You click a button on a main form and it opens a dialog for the first step where you enter data, then when you click NEXT it hides and the next step appears...

    Problem with CheckedListBox not triggering SelectedIndexChanged event

    Well yes, thats precisely what the example shows; which is why it seems like a bug. What is odd is that the checkbox responds with every click but the event does not. It defeats the benefit of the CheckedListBox if you have to build a separate structure to hold the status of the checks and...

    Problem with CheckedListBox not triggering SelectedIndexChanged event

    Hello all I am having problems with a CheckedListBox, I am trying to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to detect when the user toggles the check box. I have the CheckOnClick property set to True so that the check is toggled when anywhere on the selected line is clicked. The problem is that...

    Classes and parameter passing

    A great idea Steve, thanks for the reply. Is this standard way that is used by object oriented programmers or should I design my solution differently somehow so this is not necessary?
