'main Code' For Lack Of A Better Description?
Aug 16, 2009
Where do you put the "main code" for lack of a better description? I can find all sorts of places to put code based on events like button clicks or forms loading. However, I can't seem to find a place to run code without an event (just idling).Basically I'm looking to monitor a file and call a sub when it changes. I can monitor the file fine based on the size but I can't figure out where to put code to call a sub when that changes. Everything seems based on user actions but that doesn't work in this case.

Simple Code lookup to get Description I have a static list of Street Type Abbreviations and their associated Street Type Descriptions: RD to Road. I have the complete list needed. There are 37 elements in the list - 37 Street Type Abbreviations with their associated Descriptions. The lookup will only happen once. The input lookup field is in a single field: stType. Not trying to get fancy. but what is the best approach? Dictionary, List, two dimensional array, etc. Started with Dictionary but the .Add was getting redundant. Two dimensional array let me initialize the values, but searching an old school loop.

I am currently working on a framework for applications developed by my company, my boss wants to have a switchboard and a MenuStrip, where the entries and their actions are controlled by a database.
Now I've dealt with all the code to get them working. But the problem that I am facing is that I have duplicated code because each of the classes have the code that deals with ensuring the user has the right privileges and the code to deal with when a user clicks on an item.
Normally I would move this code out into a class and then have each of the classes inherit from the class, but because the switchboard already inherits from the Form class and the customised MenuStrip inherits from the MenuStrip class.After doing some Googling the only answer I have been able to find it using an interface for the functionality, which is obviously not exactly what I want.
Anyway I was just wondering whether any one had any suggestions on what I could do to deal with this problem, as I would like to avoid having duplicate code as much as possible.

Is there a way to get the IntelliSense for a lack of better term to work like it does for C#? For example, lets say I want to add a MessageBox to my form. With C# as soon as I get around Mess it's already coming up with the rest of the word, and the same with variables and control names. Just wondering if I'm missing a setting or something some place or if this is just another example of how things are different between the enviroments. Using Visual Studio 2005.

vb6 used to support both procedure view and full module view. VB.net seems only to support the latter.Why would they do this? Is it perhaps because people generally have bigger screens now (and less need to scroll).I find that I have to scroll down a sub/function very slowly with full module view or else i'll inadvertently end up in a different sub.Is there a plug-in or another way to recreate procedure view?

I have a class, GControl. It's pretty much a Control class clone with some improvements. It doesn't inherit from Control, because that would be a huge mess, and it needs to stay that way. However, to add a GControl to a Form in the first place, it needs to inherit from Control. So, I created a new class, called GForm, that inherits from Control and draws GControls in the OnPaint method. However, it should also inherit GControl, because it needs (1) to be able to be a GControl's Parent and (2) to be able to have a GControlCollection property. The way I've made the GControlCollection is so that it must be created with a GControl as its parent. I could change how GControlCollection works, but not the Parent property. Does anyone know a way to get around that?
Here's what the property looks like:
CODE:
And a few methods (like Invalidate()) need to be called on the control's parent.

Just tried to create a new Data Source in VB 2010, apparently I don't have permission to connect to the 'Login.mdf' file I recently created in SQL 2008. Does anyone here have any knowledge of how to surpass this problem? I'm the Administrator of my PC and have full permissions and UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the problem either

Why is there such tremendous effort made on microsofts part to hide the fact that you cannot write SurroundsWith code snippets for Visual Basic, and the $end$ and $selected$ reserved words dont work in Visual Basic.
Micro$osft... YOUVE HAD 3 VERSIONS OF VISUAL STUDIO TO GET THIS WORKING... WHY THE H3LL IS IT STILL A STEAMING PILE FOR VISUAL BASIC. I HAVE TO BUY A THIRD PARTY PRODUCT TO ENABLE FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU REFUSE TO WRITE FOR VISUAL BASIC.
Can you tell this is infuriating? I spent a TON of hours finding out about this sorely lacking functionality that you should have plastered ALL OVER your snippets documentation on MSDN. I hear you're a HORRIBLE company to work for, but should I ever need a job and have to dig at the bottom of the barrel, I think you OWE me a g.d. job now.

I'm trying to make a label transparent. When I set the BackColor to transparent, all it does it take the color of the form it's sitting on, i.e. It's not truly transparent. I've googled it and found this in another thread (from a MSFT MVP)".NET controls do not support true transparency. You can set their BackColor to Transparent (in some but not all cases) and the parent control will show through, but only the parent control. If there is some other control behind that is not the parent it will not show through. That's because the control is not truly transparent. It basically copies its parent in the area behind it and uses that as its background, but that doesn't include sibling controls that may be behind it as well." To me, this is completely unacceptable. Why even include the transparency option when all it does is set the control's backcolor to the form color? I'm trying to add a label over a progress bar to give my user some feedback (because the Visual Studio progress bar doesn't support text, which is also a horrible design shortfall by the way), and have yet to find a way around this.

It's easy to do so in objective c but I do not know how to do so in vb.net update:I know about control.invoke. But control.invoke requires a control that may change from program to program. What would be the easier way?So yes program is winform. However I need a solution that does not depend on any specific control. If that's the case actually I do not need things to be run on main thread do I?

I have a lot of repetitive code that references components of my main form. I wanted to create a separate module (correct terminology?) for all this code to be contained. I cut the offending code and pasted it into my new module, changing each label reference, etc to form1.label.click
Form1 was then underlined and I get this message:Handles clause requires WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.I think I'm headed in the right direction, but what exactly am I looking for? Here is a sampling of the code that I would like to keep in a separate place other than Form1.vb:

I have a solution with more than one project and the main project contains buttons to open forms from different projects that are in the same solution. Say Project1 is the main project and Project2 is the different project that gives the following error when i compile it:
Error 3 'Sub Main' is declared more than once in 'SystemInformation': SystemInformation.Program.Main(), SystemInformation.My.MyApplication.Main(Args() As String) System Information II
I have already seen other threads with this question but it does not work for me because i have more than one project.For Project2: Application Framework is disabled and the startup object is "SubMain".

I want to get the description of an external .exe file from my vb.net app, rather like in task manager. My program can monitor active processes and open their file locations, but it cannot get their descriptions (like in task manager) I want it to be able to do this, and I've found the following code to get the description of a normal file (I had to re-write it from csharp):
Public Class Myform
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
[Code]....
For example, if the process 'dwm.exe' is open, then I want my program to get the description "Desktop Window Manager." I want it to be universal for any program so it can be done with any open process.
