The reason I want to do this is so that I can k ...Show All

• Mohammad Aslam Khan resource generation

  I have three (VB) projects which share a couple of user controls. One project contains the actual source files whilst the others have a Link to the source.

• Pablo Cibraro Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: ...Show All

  I'm designing the forms for our business, and am currently working on a Purchase Order form.  The aim is to create a form that, when opened, creates a new PO number that runs in sequence. IE: I open it one time and I have GH-0001, but next time it's opened, we have GH-0002.  I'd like to avoid anything based on date and time because those make for very long PO Numbers, and slightly weird. Any suggestions or redirections are welcome. ...Show All
