DataGridView display turns into a mess when scrolling - vb.net

I have a windows form with a DataGridView with multiple data binding sources. The form loads correctly with the appropriate data,
but when i scroll (either scrollbar or mouse wheel), it turns into this:
If i refresh the form on new line selection, it goes back to the top of the form. I see that there is a DataGridView.Scroll event. What do i need to do with it? Is there something else that i need to change to make my form look pretty again?
thx!
EDIT
Below is the code that is run to the point. There is nothing additional that handles the way the form is drawn/redrawn, and there is no event handling on DataGridView1.scroll

EDIT
i have an empty handler for DataGridView1.DataError. I added a message box and the "Ship Date" throws an error for every value in the column, then when you scroll, it throws an error for every new "Ship Date" cell that appears. The error is for a null value being displayed in a column that doesn't accept a null value. The null value is an attempt to suppress the value '1900-01-01' from being displayed.

the display errors are caused by an error message being suppressed due to a null value being displayed in a column that doesn't accept a null value. The null value is an attempt to suppress the value '1900-01-01' from being displayed.

TaskCanceledException in Google Drive APIs

it has been some days since I implemented in several PCs my Google Drive upload programme. It is developed in VB.NET console app and I can say it works out pretty good. Except that in some PCs it continues throwing the taskcanceled exception. Basically the programme works at night, where the internet traffic in the pcs should be likely to 0 and it continues trying to upload to a google folder until it succesfully do it OR the time (of an hour usually) runs out.
The Exception looks like this
Ex: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occured. ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

in vb.net error Command text was not set for the command object

I have a program in vb.net where I need data inserted into the database. When I run this code I get an error:

The following demonstrates what your code might look like using ADO.net.
Pass the connection string directly to the constructor of the connection and pass the command text and connection to the constructor of the command. Open the connection and execute the command. ExecuteNonQuery returns rows affected.
Always use parameters to avoid sql injection.
Private Sub InsertRelease(strRelease As String)
Dim intRecsAffected As Integer
Dim strDsn = ComboBox1.Text
Dim strSystem = txtSystem.Text
Dim strUsername = txtUser.Text
Dim strPassword = txtPassword.Text
'Validate Input
If strUsername = "" OrElse strPassword = "" Then
MessageBox.Show("Please enter the correct UserName And Password")
txtUser.Focus()
Exit Sub
End If
Using con As New OdbcConnection($"{{iSeries As ODBC Driver}};System={strSystem};Dsn={strDsn}; Uid={strUsername}; Pwd={strPassword};"),
cmd As New OdbcCommand("insert into jobscopedb.ppusrfs (search_key_uf, DATA_ITEM_UF, NUMERIC_VALUE_UF) values (#Release,'81 AB',0);", con)
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Release", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = strRelease
con.Open()
intRecsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery
End Using 'Closes and disposes the connection and command even it there is an error
If intRecsAffected = 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Release " + strRelease + " added")
Else
MessageBox.Show("Release " + strRelease + "not added")
End If

Download Direct links

My program has been using:
Dim DLLink1 As String
DLLink1 = Trim(TextBox2.Text)
Dim DownloadDirectory1 As String
DownloadDirectory1 = Trim(TextBox4.Text)
Try
Button3.Enabled = False
' My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(DLLink1, (DownloadDirectory1 + "/UpdatedClient.zip"))
Dim HttpReq As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(DLLink1), HttpWebRequest)
Using HttpResponse As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(HttpReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
Using Reader As New BinaryReader(HttpResponse.GetResponseStream())
Dim RdByte As Byte() = Reader.ReadBytes(1 * 1024 * 1024 * 10)
Using FStream As New FileStream(DownloadDirectory1 + "/UpdatedClient.zip", FileMode.Create)
FStream.Write(RdByte, 0, RdByte.Length)
End Using
End Using
End Using
Finally
MsgBox("Finished Download.")
Button3.Enabled = True
Label4.Visible = True
I tried this previously, and it didn't work at all:
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(DLLink1, (DownloadDirectory1 + "/UpdatedClient.zip"))
The website requires you to be logged in, so I made a spare account for the program:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.mpgh.net/forum/admincp/")
Timer1.Start()
Button2.Enabled = False
Then
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("vb_login_username").SetAttribute("value", "AutoUpdaterAccount")
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("vb_login_password").SetAttribute("value", "password")
Dim allelements As HtmlElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.All
For Each webpageelement As HtmlElement In allelements
If webpageelement.GetAttribute("type") = "submit" Then
webpageelement.InvokeMember("click")
Timer1.Stop()
Label5.Text = "Authorized."
Button2.Enabled = True
So now you're logged into the account, on the website, but when the code above to download runs, it downloads a zip, but it's corrupted. So I opened it with notepad++ and this is what I get (Does this mean it didn't login for the download, and it only logged in with the webbrowser and they aren't linked? Or something? Like My firefox logins aren't linked with chrome?:
The code is huge, it's like a HTML coding. Here is the link to a online notepad I put it on:
http://shrib.com/nCOucdfL
Another thing, a webbrowser can't be showing on the program, it can be on the outside not showing, like I did with the login. They also can't click the save button like on a normal web browser when a window pops up, I want it to download automatically to where they set it using a button which sets the directory as DownloadDirectory1
It must be your lucky day because today I woke up and decided that I would like to help you with your cause. I first tried to get the download to work with the web browser control but unfortunately I am sure this is not possible without extending the web browser control and we don't want to do that today.
As I mentioned in the comments, the only way I really know that this is possible (without user interaction) is to log in via the HttpWebRequest method. It's pretty tricky stuff. Definitely not for beginners.
Now I must admit that this isn't the cleanest, most "proper" and user-friendly code around, so if anyone wants to suggest a better way to do things, I am all ears.
I suggest you test this first before you incorporate it into your existing app. Just create a new vb.net app and replace all of the code in Form1 with the code below. You will have to update the usernamehere and passwordhere strings with your real username and password. Also, the file is saving to C:\file.rar by default so you can change this path if you want. This code completely removes the need for the web browser control (unless you are using it for something else) so most likely you can remove that from your real application once you incorporate this properly:

Why do I get the error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException?

Now when I am running the program I am getting this error. I tried hard but not able to locate what could be the problem the error is:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException -->Horizontal and vertical
pitch must be greater than or equal to the label width and height,
respectively.
Even though I tried to set the Horizontal and vertical pitch programatically it gives same error.
Make sure that you have a default printer set up for the user account that the application runs under. Might not be relevant but I have had various unusual problems following that omission.
Did you install the Office Primary Interop Assemblies? (Appropriately abbreviated to PIA)
