I'm just having some difficulty with nitpicky details. To give you a gauge of the level of programming I'm at I'll just tell you about some of the work I've done. Of course, you can skip down to the last paragraph if you don't have the time.I've created an emulator for a programming language I call "Blue Code". It's kinda a spoof on Redcode, which you may have read about before. You load programs which use simple commands like add, divide, copy, jump, split (like making a new thread), etc. You can load multiple programs in and each instruction sits on a line of a circular memory. Then each program takes turns trying to get the other to run an illegal function, at which time it looses. I think it's quite a bit better than Redcode actually.I also wrote a program a couple years back (when I was 13?) that draws fractal trees, it's quite fun.
So, I have a pretty good grasp on VB, but recently I got into 3D graphics using the Direct3D library. Unfortunately, the function I'm using to save meshes is not working. I know the rest of my program works just dandy because I've loaded quite a few sample meshes. Now, I've come to the conclusion that my saving code is irreparably broken, so I won't even show it to you. What I need is somebody to write an outline of what I need in a saving function, or, better yet, actually write a saving function which I can customize to my purposes. The parameters are, a somewhat unconventional List(of List(of CustomVertex.PositionNormalTextured)), List(of Material), and List(of String). List of lists includes a bunch of lists of vertices I wish to use, where each list represents a subroutine. The list of strings and list of materials represent texture file names and surface materials respectively.
We have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...
I have found an example about how to create 2D Graphics in Visual Basic using DirectX here. I have created a new Windows Application, I have copied the code, but I get errors. The code seems to be OK, but the application refuses to start. I have the nVIDIA 7300LE Graphics Card and I'm using Windows Vista x64 with DirectX 10 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. I have also downloaded the DirectX Redistributable Package (March 2009) in order to make my application work...
I'm a unviversity student and for an assignment we have to make a simple project where the user specifies a shape and a color, and then the shape is drawn in some kind of space. So like they choose circle, green, and in this blank space on the form a green circle appears, pretty simple. Anyways we have some kind of msdn alliance thing where we can download Visual Studio for academic purposes, so I downloaded Visual Studio 2008. I spent about an hour going through the tool box trying to figure out what could possibly allow me to draw stuff in it, and I'm really not sure what it could be. On some online tutorials it said something about a function on picture boxes like picturebox.Circle(100,100), 100, vbgreen or something similar, and when I tried making a picturebox and writing this code nothing worked. My friend told me to use a 'canvas' but neither of use know how to actually find such a control (its not in the toolbox).[urls]....
current version is 2008 I'm trying to build an application with a simple MENU. When the user clicks on a Menu Item i want the container to show some controls, now when the user clicks another Menu Item, the container needs to change and show other controls, and so on with every menu Item the user clicks, one at a time.
I thought of panels showing and hiding for every menu Item clicking, but that would use a lot of memory as ALL the controls would be created, some of them just not showing. I also though of an MDI application, but i dont want multiple forms (with the menu bar) opening inside one form. I just want the actual container of one form to change.
i wanted to make a piano with visual basic 2008 and i searched around the internet to see how to play a sound but my search returned results relating only to visual basic 2005 & 6 so i am again forced to waste your time (sorry about that) oh and i also have the wav soundfiles i only want vb to read them in the final exe
I have 3 Combo boxes that have number 1-9 in each, i would like to make it so that if the first one is set to 9 then the and the second it set to 8 then the first 1 is set to 1, i need them to only equal 9 through all the boxes?
I wrote a small application for a friend that opens a Excel sheet, get's some data from it and stores that data into a file. I compiled it for AnyCPU (I also did a compile just for his 64 bit machine, same result).Here is the problem:He is able to run the program on a 32 bit computer without any problem, it just won't work on his 64 bit computer.Here is the error he is getting App failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)
Is this my problem or could this be his problem? As far as I can tell I'm all up to date with VS2008.Is there somewhere I can look specifically what the latest build is for VS2008? I am using VB2008.
I m new to VB and i just need a special keygen which i dont know if exists yet or not.First off i'd like to mention that i dont want to make a keygen that will generate a random key out of keys that i have to manually code in (cases) E.G.
[code]...
I want to know how to make a keygen that will generate a letter/number randomly out some example letters which would need to be defined.E.G.Random number out of 0-9 (0,1,2,3 etc) Random letter from A-Z (A,B,C etc) And then obviously display generated key in TextBox. Ideally i would like to improve this more but if i could get the basics then i would move on from there
I am wanting to use a vnc installer as an embedded resource, and if the computer running the program does not have vnc installed then typing in a password will install vnc. I have tried everything I can think of and running the process from my computer works, however when ran on a different computer i get the error "File not Found". I am sure I am not calling the embedded resource correctly. I am using Process.Start(" ightvnc.exe /S")
I'm working through the Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework book by Apress (which is great, btw) and it's in C# although we mostly work in VB so I'm "translating" the examples along the way. So far so good but I ran into something that has thrown me.Long story short we need to validate that the string the user gave us as an email address. This returns true in C#:
This one is causing me a lot of frustration, and as far as I can see, it should work. What I have is a form with 9 ListViews (ListView1 through 9), and I want to add items to them.The issue is, I have a routine that sets which ListView to use. Say I have set it for ListView4, it works initially on the first file, but after one line of code. it reverts back to ListView1 for the remaining files. (itmModelItem = lvwModels.Items.Add(ModelName) in AddModel.
Yesterday s**ked, and today ain't (sic) looking better. I have an application I have been working on and it can be slow to start when my ISP is down because of DNS. My ISP was down for 3 hours yesterday, so I didn't think much about this piece of code I had added, until I found that it is always slow to start. This code is supposed to return your IP address and my reading of the link suggests that should be immediate, but it isn't, at least on my machine.Oh, and yesterday before the internet went down, I upgraded (oymoron) to XP SP3, and have had other problems.So my questions / request:
1. Am I doing this right?
2. If you run this on your machine does it take 39 seconds to return your IP address? [code]
GUI: textbox1.Text, button, textbox2.Text What i want to do is when the user inputs an 8 bit binary number The program finds the places of ones and outputs them For example: user inputs 00010011, the program outputs a 4,1,0 because the 7th place is the one closest to the left and the 0th place is the farthest, e.g. 76543210 is and in the 8bit string the 4th 1st and 0th are ones I was thinking of something like this:
I have been programming in VB6 for a while now and am gradually trying to get to grips with .Net (VB 2005)I am tryng to transfer some of my programs from VB6 to .Net with some success but have got a little stuck on trying to transfer what was a control array to .neto try to sort this i have set up a form in VB6 with 4 Vscroll bars and 4 Text boxes.Vscroll1(*) & Text1(*) where * is 0-4when you change the value in any scroll bar then the associated text box value changes.
Private Sub VScroll1_Change(Index As Integer) Text1(Index).Text = VScroll1(Index).Value End Sub
I've been searching around for ages now but can't seem to find what I'm looking for, anyway came accross this wonderful place so thought ay I'm creating a rewards system for school where pupil earn points for good behavior which they can then use to purchase things like a packet of pens. (They can also have points deducted for bad behavior)
for homework an optional task was to create a binary to denary and denary to binary converter, using console application in VB.NET .. anyway i gave it my best shot however and it all works except for the denary to binary conversion, can someone please help me out? not been programming for very long so my code might be a bit messy or badly written i dont know,
My issue is to combine two paths which one or both of them may contain double dots. I used Path.Combine(string, string) and the returned string is still a long path as a result of concatenating these two paths. Single or double dots are not eliminated.
So, I tried to use Path.GetFullPath(string) method with the concatenated path as the argument.PathTooLongException is thrown because this path has more than 260 characters. However, if this path is normalized, it won't exceed the maximum characters for a file path.
In uTorrent the system shuts down whether the user is logged in or the system is locked, how is that possible?Also I would like to know how to detect if the system is locked or not because if they are logged in I, like uTorrent, would like to prompt the user that the system is about to shut down and give them 30 seconds to cancel it.
In addition to Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-s -t 05") I also know about
Sub download() Try GetPass() GetUser() GetPath() [CODE]...
Bolded line makes an exception: The remote name could not be resolved: 'unkn' I guess it has to do something with threading, and path doesnt generate correctly username, password, and pth are generated from objects in another form, so i did it like this: Dim newfrm As Form1
And then acces the objects that hold user, pass... like: newfrm.textbox1.text
So, why do i get this exception then if im doing it the right way, and how do i get this to work?
I am trying to read in a Web Page, using the code below.However it keeps failing when it runs the line s = client.OpenRead(remoteUri) The error I am getting is

While the processes are executed (spends some seconds or minutes in completing all the tasks) I show form "Please wait to complete all tasks".
But one of these processes I have to show a form because the user has to choose a few data. But the problem is that this form is showed minimized.
Already I have tried to show it maximized and to bring it to the front but it does not do it.
how I can show this form to front and maximized?
My actual code is:
f= New frmLPlantillas f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized f.BringToFront() If f.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then value1= f.xxxx value2= f.zzzzz value3= f.aaaa value4= f.bbbbbb Else Return False Exit Function End If
Basically, I have a ListBox with a list of items that correspond to pictures.I have it set up so that when you selected the first word on the list (index 0), then the image 0.png is displayed (index 1 = 1.png, etc) in the Picture Box and the Picture Box resizes to fit the Image.
[code]...
This^ works fine, but I want to center the picture in the group box that it is in each time a different image in selected.My solution was this:
[code]...
No compilation errors, but it^ doesn't center the image. As a matter of fact, there's no noticeable difference at all.
I have been searching for quite some time, and while this might be easier than I am making it, but this is the first time I have tried to do something like this. My issue is that I am creating a pdf and need to include am image that I have to download from a dynamic URL. The issue I am having is how do I get the image saved to a file on our server? As far as I have seen, there is not a way to directly put in the image into the pdf - but if you know a way to do this, that might work instead.
I created an application which posts data to a url using webrequest.It worked fine on my computer, but when another client runs the application , he gets the following error:
System.Net.WebException: the remote name could not be resolved:'site.com' at system.net.httpwebrequest.getrequeststream()..
