• Windows Forms Text does not appear on form load

  Here is the problem. Certain controls don't display text. I will create a form in the IDE that has group boxes and combo boxes on it. The combo boxes only display text on the top line or the line that I select. When I click the dropdown, nothing else is displayed. As for the group boxes, the header displays, but any labels inside the text box don't display any text. They show up in the IDE, but not at runtime. I have a screen shot showing the IDE and the form at runtime at www.kennesaw.edu/~jfw1701/text.bmp . There may be a delay as it is a fairly large picture. Thanks Joe W I do. Me.Updat ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I deploy a business component in ASP.NET aspx.vb page

  I compiled a VB class file as a dll file and copied the lib file in the bin folder of my asp.net application.

  Looking for some help, if you have the time (anyone) it'd be great. Here's the deal. I've got a windows form...dropdown list of states. If Florida is selected, I want a pop-up window to ask for a $$ amount. Then that value in the pop-up has to be stored in a variable so I can do some math on it before displaying it in a summary box. Any idea how to do a windows pop-up, grab a value entered, and then display in a text box with something like SummaryBox.Items.Add ("Amount entered in Florida Pop-up window: " + florida_value_entered_from_popup + "."); //where florida_value_entered_from_popup is just a decimal variable Thank you all again fo ...Show All
