I have written a custom Bindable RichText Box, so I can bind to the Document property. However, as soon as I set my document content, the only keyboard input it accepts is the backspace key (???). No other keyboard input is acknowledged (including the arrow keys). Any ideas? Here is the code of my BindableRTB class: Imports System.W...

Lately I've had to do a bit of programming in VB .NET. It hasn't been too difficult, but the lack of proper documentation or good tutorials has been annoying me. I'm used to finding a lot of relevant info when I google a programming question, or term, or method name - but it's been more difficult with VB .NET. Anyone know of any good tut...

Currently, I have XML th...

Attempting to keep this short: our shipping personnel use a Windows Mobile-enabled barcode scanner to scan the serial numbers of items shipped on customer orders. That data is submitted via asmx web service and a report is automatically printed to a networked printer showing customer info and the details of items shipped. All of this h...
I'm working with a listbox that has, let's say, 20 items. The size of the listbox allows the user to see the first 5 items. However, the listbox has one preselected item which is sometimes not visible because it isn't one of the first 5 items. After I set the selected Item for the listbox how can I ensure that the lisbox is scrolle...
I am trying to union to queries to create an XML file. The query itself works as T-SQL, but my implementation as LINQ-TO-XML fails with "Could not translate expression..." error. Am I asking the wrong question? Is this approach flat wrong? I am new to LINQ. How do I create a single XML from 2 queries? Dim db As New SOMEDataContext Dim...
I'm doing a lab for school, and I came across something I have never done before: create a default constructor within my class. It involves creating a private field to store the connection string, then create a default constructor that sets the connection string.

Does the VB.NET 2008 compiler selectively optimize Select Case Statements? For example, a Select Case Statement with a sufficient quantity of integer cases could be organized as a binary search. I ask this because I am curious whether or not I should opt for a Select Case in place of If Statements with multiple Else If's where integer...
