    create report with many small pages on one page?

    Wondering if someone can help me. I want to create a report that prints out what are essentially tickets (2" x 3.5") on pre-scored business card sheets, 10 to a page, 5 rows in 2 columns. Each ticket is unique and has different data that gets printed on it, so it's not as simple as just making...

    Need some advice for reporting...

    Hi folks, I could use a recommendation. I'm writing an application in VB.net 2008 that I would like to distribute someday soon. I'm trying to make it as independent as I can so other software pre-requisites don't affect who can use it. For instance, I have some specialized reporting I need...

    Operate Combo box control programmatically?

    I may be barking up the wrong tree here and this might not be possible, but if you don't ask you might never know. I have a page on my app (VB.NET 2008) that has a group of four combo boxes designed to allow the user to drill down and select more and more granular data until in the last box...

    DataGridView - losing formatting of unbound rows

    Hoping someone can help... I'm using a DataGridView to display information from an unbound table. The first time I load the grid it uses my formatting settings I created at design time, which is great, looks perfect. But when I refresh the DataTable the grid is bound to as a Data Source, I...

    DataSource, DisplayMember for Label or Textbox?

    Hi Folks This is probably a dumb question, but I have a few labels on a form that are currently unbound, but display data from a data table. I'd like to be able to feed these controls a code value (1, 2, 3) and have it display a related text value ("One", "Two", "Three") in the text of the...

    Possible to use Combo box to get data from bound record?

    OK another silly question, probably. I set up a query against my database to fill a data table, and bound the combo box to it to have it display the values of one of the fields.

I want to show a list of values from one column (city) in a conbo box so a user can select a city, and then I'll drop the records for...

    Handling Ctrl_V with a keypress test

    Hi Folks I have a textbox that uses a KeyPress event to test for numeric values; anything typed in other than a number generates a beep and the character is ignored. Unfortunately it seems that it also short-circuits the text box's ability to accept a paste or Ctrl_V command to paste in a...
