I was thinking about writing some VB 2005 code that would be able to open an excel file and keep it open while I do things in separate functions/subs basically just check boxes, so each check box is its own sub but HOW do I do that with out opening and closing the excel file for every check box sub, since every time I make a check box the sub comes up as private?
View 9 RepliesI need to migrate from Excel 2003 VBA to Excel 2007 VBA. When Microsoft introduced Excel 2007 it removed many objects from the previous versions and added some new objects. Also it hid some properties of particular objects. These hidden properties can be viewed by going to the object browser, right clicking any object and selecting "Show Hidden Members". My problem is I need to access these hidden properties. Is there any way I can access these properties. I can successfully migrate from Excel 2003 VBa to Excel 2007 VBA with the same functionality?

View 11 RepliesI have am using an XBee ZigBee wireless module to communicate with a project of mine. I currently have it set up to the point where I can open a hyperterminal session to COM 4 (which is the usb com port), and recieve the data that is being sent via the microcontroller on the other side of the wireless link.
I would like to make an app that takes the data and puts it in to a more user-readable format. (Via VB 2005) So far all I have come up with is some problems. It doesn't seem like I can use the built in serial port tool to access a "virtual" com port. From the following link:Quote:
Note You cannot use the Microsoft .NET Framework classes to directly access other types of ports, such as parallel ports or USB ports.[URL]..Do I have to use a "COM port redirector" to make it seem like a real COM port? Or is there some easy way that I am not thinking of?
Is it possible to add, edit, view and delete records using a file only (instead of a database) and .Net 2005 (VB.Net/C#)? The concept is that a file that'll work more-or-less like a database. One can add, edit, view, delete and query data to and from the file. The file, either cannot be opened directly or data inside the file should be in some encrypted form so that even if the file is opened no one can comprehend it. Data inside the file can only be manipulated by a front end application i.e. .Net 2005.
View 1 RepliesI have 10 threads each using the same sub to do work. This sub is calling a function to save the results. How are the threads accessing the sub? Is each one getting a fresh copy of the sub to do its thing or are they using the same piece of code and need to wait for each other to finish processing? I don't get any hits when searching for such a specific scenario. I am wondering because it is about using sockets (usually lightweight stuff) to retrieve a resource and the cpu is working at 100% all the time. Still it is very fast, 900 internet queries finish in about 3 minutes.

View 1 RepliesI have been doing some research into accessing devices on a USB port and it's kind of helped, but not really. From what I understand, I can use the IO.Port namespace to access a device on a USB port (usually). Let me know if this is incorrect.
First, I made a simple program that looped through the ports available. I get COM1 and COM3, but I have 4 USB ports. Where are the others?
My
Dim comm As New List(Of IO.Ports.SerialPort) 'list of comm ports
For Each PNstr As String In IO.Ports.SerialPort.GetPortNames() 'get a list of Com Port Names

View 8 RepliesMy problem is that i have a usb-to-serial device which creates a virtual serial port ( Com 4 for example )on the computer i need to connect to it and get the data stored on it I already have worked out how to use the System.io.ports to connect to the port ( baud rate, stop bits, parity ,ect) and it connects to the usb fine. But once the connection is open i don't know how to retrieve the data. Everything i have tried relies on events. But as the usb does not send data i don't know how to access the serials memory.

View 9 RepliesI'm debugging a VB app where I'm using a comm port attached to a bluetooth radio paired to another bluetooth radio in order to communicate with a remote barcode scanner. The pair of bluetoooth devices basically work as a serial cable replacement. Sometimes it works fine, but after a while I get an UnauthorizedAccessException message which breaks the program (see attached jpeg).
I only get this when I use the radios and not when I use a direct cable. I wonder if it has something to do with other bluetooth devices nearby trying to communicate with mine. I've used the .NET Framework 2.0 Confuration tool to adjust the zone security to give full trust to MyComputer, so I don't think it has to do with security, but I'm really going beyond my area of expertise here. I don't know what's going on.

I have to make some automatization on a web server, I use Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic Windows Console Application. I want to make a load/performance test of the web server, so I open several Internet Explorer instances, and I login the application, that is not a problem. But after that I have a mess on the page and I cannot make any more automatization...The composition of the page after the login is like this: I have the default form, another form and a multiple data window(mdw) controller, which dinamically can switches the forms on this part.
The problem is that I don't know how to access the controls of this mdw forms. I couldn't find much about this mdw controller and I am not an expert.
My code is here:
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Web.Ui.Webcontrols

Public oSheet as Worksheet

I'm concerned because when I type the period after the ) it does not allow me to select value. I type it in and it does not give an immediate syntax error but I'm guessing that when I try to run this, it will fail the build. Is there an other reference I need to add or do you get the value of a field differently for Office 2010 than we did for Office 2007?
I'm having some trouble setting up binding sources to these types of files, not sure if I'm selecting the correct driver in the wizard. Tried the generic ODBC and .NET drivers but it doesn't work, the dataset is created and adds a table but there's no data retrieved. The design object being used to display the table is a datagridview. Can't find documentation on dealing with files, only databases.

I'm setting up a console application that ...
1. Executes a stored procedure that populates a SQL table for reporting purposes.
2. Opens an Excel Workbook.
3. Refreshes the Workbook.
4. Saves the Workbook.
5. Closes the Workbook.
6. Sends the Workbook as an attachment in an e-mail using the SmtpClient class.
Now, steps 1 through 6 are inside of a loop as I would like to use the same workbook for all my report refreshes. My perfect solution is to iterate this loop as many time as needed to have all my reports automatically sent via email as an attachment. The first time through the loop, it works perfectly, however, the 2nd time through the loop, I noticed when the application opens up the workbook, the workbook opens up as a read-only copy even though I properly closed the workbook prior to re-opening it.
I've tried to force the open as read/write but then, the 2nd time the workbook loads, an exception is thrown. I'm on Windows 7 and I noticed that the folder properties has a read-only check box which I make sure is cleared before running the application but then when I stop/pause the application to inspect the folder properties, the check box is checked again. I'm not sure if this is why I'm having issues when I open up the Workbook a 2nd time or not.
I am populating excel from a data grid view. Everything works fine except that header does not show in excel (just details).
