calendar control for blank windows 8 application using vb.net - vb.net

Is it possible to create some sort of "pop up calendar" in a Windows Application (VB.net). Something similar to AjaxCalendarControl.
Or is it possible to add the same Ajax control in vb.net as we do for C#.net?
or any other way to get a calendar control for the same.

Unable to access all the events in a VB web form using Visual Studio 2017 RC

When I create a Web Form a large chunk of the events for my objects are missing when I select the control.
Example: Button only has the Click event and Label has no events I can run.
When I created a Windows Form application, the events are all there. What can I do to get my events back?

You need to create a custom form to use this control.
Instead, you need to develop an Outlook form region or create an adjacent window. See Adjacent Windows In Outlook for more information about subclassing Outlook windows using Windows API functions.

Create UI like Window 8 in vb.net using devexpress controls

I want to create UI for home page like a Window 8 for desktop application in vb.net using devexpress controls. How can I design the UI?
And I want to use TileLayoutControl for it. But I don't know how to use the tile controls of devexpress. How can I create my home page like Window8 Home page? I want to put various menus on home page as a Tile and when I click on 1 menu the form should be open.
I believe the desktop application is equals to WinForms/WPF application in the context of this question.
So, with DevExpress WinForms you can start from here: DocumentManager Windows UI View Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI View Examples.
With DevExpress WPF Controls you can start from here: Windows UI controls for WPF Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI controls for WPF Examples.
If you mean the Windows Store(WinRT) application please use the DevExpress Windows 8 XAML Controls. Check the Windows 8 XAML Controls Getting Started.

How to get selected text from a webpage?

I need to retrieve only selected portion of a webpage (user open a webpage in web-browser control, then he/she would select some portion of a webpage, i just need only those selected portion/text) in vb.net in visual basic language. How to do ?
i am using microsoft visual studio 2008
Language: Visual Basic
FrameWork: vb.net 3.5
Perhaps here are some answers for you(first post attachment):
Manipulate/Change/Form Fill data in webpages using the Webbrowser control
In terms of IE's API, you can get the select text by getting the selection object via IHTMLDocument2::Selection the property, then create a range object via IHTMLSelectionObject::createRange. If the return range's type property is "Text", you can then query IHTMLTxtRange from it and get the selected text via IHTMLTxtRange::text.
It is unclear which webbrowser control you are referring to. There are 3 webbrowser controls in the .Net Framework, one in Windows Forms, one in WPF, and one in Silverlight. Anyway, you can call InvokeScript or use the unmanaged interface like csexwb's GetSelectedText, if one of the method is supported by your control library.
Next time mention which control library you are using when you ask the question. Merely mentioning the language you choose isn't enough to resolve the ambiguity in class names.

How to get my VB.net form to focus above existing users windows and applications?

I have a Visual Basic .Net form (launches after the splash screen tests database connectivity) and it is not focusing above other existing windows on launch.
How do I get it to focus above all existing windows and Windows Explorer windows?
Form.Topmost = true;
See the corresponding MSDN.
A topmost form is a form that overlaps
all the other (non-topmost) forms even
if it is not the active or foreground
form. Topmost forms are always
displayed at the highest point in the
z-order of the windows on the desktop.
You can use this property to create a
form that is always displayed in your
application, such as a Find and
Replace tool window.
