Auto-updating Changes For Params Inside Function Possible?

Feb 24, 2012

I am currently facing an heavy struggle with architecturing my VB.Net app.To simplify, i'm using entries from XAML comboboxs, which all trigger OnChange the same routine which manages which Function(s) to use depending on which combobox triggered.The problem i'm facing is for example i have Function(ByVal A As String, ByVal B As Integer, ByVal C as Double, etc...), and it works if the routine calls explicitly for this function's result. But then if another combobox makes for example the variable B to change, then i have to add another "If sender= Then" check for this combobox and recall expicitly the function above (since B is one of its parameters)..In the end, my routine is loooooong like 24 checks with at least 4x duplicates of same functions..is there a simple way to make a Function autoexecute when one of its parameters change without having to be called explicitly by another routine ? (Like Excel formulas do when one of its references change)

Auto-generate - Updating Function - Hospital System Which Works With A Access Database ?

Jun 21, 2010

I am using vb to make a hospital system which works with a access database. i am having an issue with the updating function to the database, this time round instead of hard codding the connection i used the connection/data source wizard, in microsoft visual studio 2008 and there fore most of the code has been auto generated for me, which includes the insert, delete and update funtions from what i can find and what i have read vb is ment to also auto generate this which it is not. the funny thing is that i can close the program down and reload it (as long as i haven't opened the database) and my changes are still there but if i go and open the database and it hasn't changed. also i can change the database through the use of the Dataset connections in the datasource tab but not int he program the code ive found and believe that is meant to update the database

This is running off a couple of buttons i also have a update query but have know way of accessing it

Me.Validate()

Me.TblPatientDetailsBindingSource.EndEdit()

Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.PatientInfoDataSet)

Call A Function From Inside Another And Suspend It Until The Called Function Is Finished

Jan 25, 2010

How can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).

Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:

1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event.
2. From the click event I call a function
3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read.
4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.

The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.

I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.

Creating An Auto-Updating Application?

Jan 4, 2006

I have read through the following page: [URL]

Now I have my application and an installer project, which can install my application. how to make my application auto-update (from my web server) like a smart client. I've looked into ClickOnce, but it does not appear to be suitable as I cannot do any custom installation steps. My application needs to create folders and copy other files from the CD to the hard drive, which I don't believe ClickOnce supports. On the other hand, the Windows Installer does not natively support any sort of auto-updating. So what do I do?

I have read that it is possible to combine both technologies, but all my research into this has turned up nothing of use.

I've looked into the Updater Application Block (Version 2.0), but I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for? I'm using Visual Basic 2005 and I'm not sure if the Updater Application Block supports .NET v2.0. In fact, when I tried to install the Enterprise Library, it said I need .NET v1.1??? Even if this is a possible path, I'm really quite lost when reading through the documentation as nothing seems to point towards practical examples, especially in Visual Basic.

I've also had a look at the System.Deployment.ApplicationDeployment class, but it seems as though this only works with ClickOnce applications. However, since I can't seems to use ClickOnce in my situation, this does not seem like a viable option. Is it possible to use System.Deployment.ApplicationDeployment outside of a ClickOnce application?

I'm really quite lost as to how other people produce custom installing applications that have auto-updating features. Virtually every modern piece of software does it, but I cannot seem to find anything on the web that points me in the right direction of how to achieve this with Visual Basic 2005.

VS 2010 Auto Updating Windows Service?

Dec 17, 2011

I have a windows desktop application that I'm converting part of it to a windows service application. The win service pulls data out of one database and passes it to a central location via web services. I've got the windows service working, however I'm unsure how to add auto update abilities to it.

The windows service itself is basically an empty shell that fires off the data pulling, which resides in a dll that installs with the service. My original idea was to have the windows service do a version check and if needed download the new dll and overwrite the old one. The problem is the copy can't happen if the service is running (or paused). Herein lies the problem. If I have the service stop itself then of course it's stopped so no more code execution. The other problem would be how to restart it.

I'm trying to create something that is hands/worry free for my clients that way when I change/update the data pulling win service application they don't have to mess with it. I'm up to 300 clients now and I really need a solution that doesn't involve any user interaction.

EDIT: After more digging it's looking like this is a near impossible task. Another option would be to have a second service, one that just looks for updates and that second service can stop the first, update it, then restart it.

Asp.net - Updating A DataRepeater Inside Updatepanel With IAsyncResult Not Working?

Oct 14, 2010

I am having trouble binding data to data repeater when I use ISyncResult.This is what I am doing.There is a button inside a Update Panel that gets the input from the user and calls a function that returns a dataset that I then bind to data repeater which is also inside a update panel.What I did is that I made a delegate to this function, now I am calling this function like this

[Code]...

I am having hard time figuring out why the data repeater is showing no data.While debugging this I see that the dataset is getting the data and is passing the the "ds" but nothing is showing up on my page even though the data is being passed to controls inside data repeater while I am debugging.

Params By Name Or By Order?

May 1, 2011

I might be alone in this; but I was always under the impression that in .NET when you called a function you had to pass in values in the same order as the method.[code]I've ever seen just calls the method with the params in the correct order - is the named convention an old left-over from VB? If I were to use the := syntax in all my method calls, would people laugh during my next code review?

Vb6 App Settings/params?

I have a old vb6 application I maintain,that has the settings in a separate xml file.

But now I have to move those "inside" (to remove the xml, don't ask why :) ).

What would be best place/"paradigm" for such

settings to be handled in vb6 Like database connections, general parameters. Also to be easy to change it, u know what I mean. I just searched on the web but until now could not find it. Of course it is easy to hard code the ones for the moment

New Line Inside ToString Function

Sep 8, 2010

VB.NET 2008. How could I make a new line inside the ToString() Function that VB already have. How to do like a .WriteLine() but inside the ToString() function. In my case, this inside of a class of course. I don't know if you get me. All I want to do is to show a fraction in the normal way not using the slash(/). Showing the numerator on top of a line, and below it the denominator. This inside the VB pre-made ToString() function.

This is what I've tried;
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return Me.numerator & "/" & Me.denominator
End Function
Output example: 2/3
But this is not what I want.

Delegate Params Not Being Mismatched

Apr 20, 2010

I'm having an issue with an application suite I'm developing. The bulk of the work is done in a backend dll that relies heavily on delegate subs in the different apps.

The problem I'm having is, I have a lot of these delegates typed to require a parameter. (eg, Public Delegate Sub DelTypeA(ByRef param As Object)). The individual methods will have a DelTypeA as one of their params, and I will pass it AddressOf functionA that has that signature.

This works fine for strong typing as long as the signature is something incorrect (2 params, a byval instead of a byref). But if functionA has NO params, the delegate is still created!

This works fine if I genuinely don't need to use a param, eg if the sub is simpler and I would have ignored the param anyway. But I want the strong typing to work here.

EDIT: I should add that invoking the delegate also works fine for simpler subs; the param is just not passed because it had nowhere to go. But I want to force all the subs to match the signature and do their own ignoring of the param

When I exited the form and then open the form again it shows record numbers 1, 2 & 3 as it should.How come it takes exiting the form and then back in to see the correct CustomerID's ?

Altering Label Properties Inside Of A Function?

Oct 19, 2011

I'm trying to validate a form to be filled out by the users, and when the required section isn't filled, I increment an

ErrorCount += 1

variable to show that error(s) have occurred inside the program, I then also set an

ErrorArray()

to whatever the corresponding field number is, now I have 0-12 (13 fields). What I have also done is titled the labels that are associated with all of these fields to correspond with the ErrorArray() value that might be set, such as.

PatLabel0
PatLabel1 etc.

What I am trying to do is loop through the array contents, depending on which ErrorArray() values have been set, to go and set the corresponding fontcolor property of that label to red, to show that these now need to be filled out. This is what I have, but Visual Studio doesn't allow me to use the iteration through the loop as a reference to changing properties. Can anyone point me in the right direction to trying to figure this out, or at least tell me what else I could do. Just seems doing 20 if....then....else.... statements with 2 - 3 lines in each of them is redundant when 1 function line could do the same job. This is what I have.

for i = 0 to UBound(ErrorArray(12))
if(ErrorArray(i) = "*")then
PatLabel(i).forecolor = color.red

[code]....

that is basically all im looking for initially, but I can't do it.
