I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?
View 5 RepliesI have been tasked with a project that requires me to scan documents into our application. I was hoping a few of you had experience with coding them for your project and could point me in the right direction.
Here are my questions:
1. Do I have to choose a specific scanner such as Visioneer to code for or can I do I code for twain and assume all scanners that are twain drivers can run my software?
2. Should I write the code in VS2008 to obtain the scan or should I be using the software it comes with? I've found a few bits of code that seem to work but I'm not if I'll just be rewritting something I don't need to.I'm not looking for my work to be done for me, just a push in the right direction.
I am proficient in Visual Basic, but I think I need to use .net and move with the times to achieve what I want.I am trying to write an application which extracts text from documents (.doc, .pdf, .xls etc. etc) using IFilter.I have found a very good example application in C# (Using IFilter in C# - CodeProject) which does what I want, but I am really struggling with C#.Does anybody know if there is a way to achieve the same results (i.e. extracting text from documents using IFilter) in VB?I have found a few examples on the web which do not seem to explain much - most examples I see are in C#.

I am trying to manipulate files as part of a Document Management application that stores documents in a location on a Network Drives. But the My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives collection does not contain the Network Drives mapped on my machine. I have about half-a-dozen of these, but none of them seem to show up in the Drives collection and thus are not visible to the other FileSystem functionality I need to use for file management.
how to make sure the Drives collection contains all my drives? I am running VS2010 Premium edition on Windows 7 64-bit on a 64-bit Dell machine.

Is there any way to add a C# Web Form to an ASP.NET 4.0 Web Application that is written in VB.NET? I had an ASP.NET 2.0 WEB SITE that I recently converted to an ASP.NET 4.0 WEB APPLICATION. It was mostly written in VB.NET with a couple pages that had C# code behinds.
I've read the following article (the end section about mulitple languages):
[URL]
But it does not seem to help for the following two reasons
1) When I converted my site to an application, it didn't seem to add an APP_CODE folder at all
2) I'm not looking to just write a simple class, I actually want to be able to add a WEB FORM with a C# code behind
When I try to add a new item and I select which type of item I want to add, I am only given to option to add a VISUAL BASIC web form.
I have a workaround right now. If I need a new web form with a C# code behind, I take one of my old C# web forms and just copy and paste the form and C# code behind into the project and then rename it and change the class name as well. Then i make my changes and do what I need to do. It seems to work, but I was just wondering if there was an easier way.
You might wonder why want to put C# forms in my VB app. I wrote my app in VB (not well versed in C# but I can read it). I have a programmer working for me that is much more efficient with C#. I don't really have the budget to spend weeks/months getting her up to speed with VB
I am looking at adding in some bluetooth functionality to my vb.net application. I require it to couple with a specified mobile phone (that is found by the app) than to be able to retrieve contact information, phone calls (made and recevied) and images from the phone.
Can anyone tell me what my best approach will be for this? If there are any good third party solutions that will do it? If it is actually doable? Im thinking that it should because im basically mimic'ing what all the new fancy cars do with their bluetooth phone compatibility.
I'm following an article (here) and stuck on the following:"Once you have created this class and compiled it, to use it in an ASP.NET Web application, start by adding it to the Web application's References folder."
Ok, so do i now need to compile my vb class file into a .dll and reference it from the BIN folder? If so how do i compile the vb file? I'm running VS 2005 .net 2.0
I am working on adding multi-threading to my application. I have done two applications using multi-threading following a tutorial of sorts, and modifying the code to "get my feet wet."

I am working on a inventory application and I have a question, I have created a table for each of the main categories that I will be using, now if I wanted to add sub categories would I create another table for the sub directory and set the type as a child for its corresponding category or would it be easier to keep the main categories and just add another column in each table for "sub category" so it uses the same table but I can just filter it out easier?
If it is a better option for creating parent and child tables, how would I go about listing them in a hierarchical treeview to show parent and child sub-categories in them.
I need to make an application that I'm working on seem bigger then it really is. Say it's actually 4 MB, but I want to make it 22 MB, what would be the easiest way to add size / fake the size of the app?

View 2 RepliesI took the following method to make a registry key in my setup project. When I run setup, it says Could not write value Run to the key. Verify that you have the sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. "Below I have copied the code that I took from the forum After you have built your own application project, Right Click the "Solution" to "Add a New Project", of cource the project type is Setup and Deployment Project.
Add the "Project Outputs" into the setup project, here, it can be the your own application,Most of important step: Open the "Regstry" view of the setup project, then add new keys in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" according to the information I just mentioned. Below the key "Run", you can add a new string value. Then in the value's "Properties" view, enter "[TARGETDIR]YourApplicationName.exe" .Install your application using the msi file created by setup project, then restart your computer, you can see the result.
I have been building a Web Application (ASP.NET, .NET Framework 4, VB, visual studio 2010). To be very brief the application interacts with a database and performs several actions (Insert Delete Select etc..).I am using several Gridviews, ListBoxes etc and I am not happy with the presentation outcome and the functionality provided by asp.net. In simple words my application looks bad, outdated and unprofessional.I figured that using Windows Forms that will be incorporated to the ASP ap.I have created a Windows Form Control Library to use the dll created in my app as a user control. I found out that this is not supported in .NET Framework 4 (is this true? or am i doing something wrong?). Is there any way to make my application have the 'look and feel' of a windows application? Please note that it is has to be a web app and the clients should not have to download any other application to interact with the server.
