Group, I've dabbled in coding (both front end and back end) since the mid 1990s. However I've never done it full time (except for a short stint writing database query's in 2015 and 2016). Because of the economic downturn in 2008 and the sale of Starwood Hotels to Marriott, I …

Group, you were very helpful to me in adding multiple textboxes, labels, etc., in my original post. If you would like to read through that, see http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/447985/creating-multiple-labels-textboxes-etc.-dynamically#post1934799. In a similar vein, I now want to dynamically add these multiple panels within a "main" panel, one at a time, with the …

Group, I've written what I believe is fairly simple code to populate a combobox via data from an Oracle Database. Unfortunately it isn't working and the error in the output box says: "Exception thrown: 'System.BadImageFormatException' in OracleConnections.exe" (the name I've assigned to the program is "OracleConnections"). This is not an …

Group, I've expanded a small app that started with 50 textboxes and labels to 200 of each.
