VB.Net alternative to VBA SubForm
-
Hi, Im a pretty experienced VBA programmer trying to make the leap to VB.NET. Im working on my first real vb.net project and Im getting a little stuck. I have 2 tables, a Contact table and a Call table. Each record in the Contact table has multiple corresponding records in the Call table. I would like my form to display a Contact record and all the corresponding Call records. The way I would do this in VBA is I would have a main form with the contact info and then make a continuous subform with all the Call records that I would insert onto the main form. Then I would just link the primary key fields. Unfortunately there do not appear to be subforms in vb.net :| I tried using a GridView control, but I was hoping to have labels and text boxes; not have it look like a spreadsheet. I hope this all make sense. :| Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering if you have had any luck with your continuos form? I have been searching for any help with this for the past few months and nothing out there seems work the same way the access continuous forms work. If you have any idea how to create a continuous form in vb.net could you send me a message back? thanks eatwork

I'm having the same problem with both VB.Net 2005 forms and the SQL Server 2005 Reporting services. With ASP.Net there is the possibility of a GridView with a formatted template column, but I have not found anything for VB.Net Winformd of the SQL Server Rpt Svc.. Why would MS take away such a useful interface design approach??
