I'm trying to use MS BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer service) to upload files from many computers to a server, but the only useful example I read was in StackOverFlow, and here it is:

but frankly, I don't know how to handle the whole thing about BITS jobs management, and I could not find a complete example demonstrate how the management will be so
On the site below they tell me how I can use BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer System). The only problem is that the Microsoft.Msdn.Samples.BITS namespace doesn't exist in Visual Basic Express Edition. Does Anybody know how I can use bits using vb.net?

View 2 RepliesHas any one used BITs in VB.NET? If so, do you have code samples? I was looking at SharpBits but I have a VB project that I wanted to use BITS for. Is it possible to use it with my VB.NET program? (.NET 2.0) I was tempted to try to convert each class to VB.NET in the SharpBits.Base folder but figured I'd ask in case someone has headed down this route before.
In case you run across this question. What you can do is in the Sharpbits.Base folder (that you download from codeplex) there is a DLL you can reference in the Bin directory. You can add that into your references to access it. Marking Konrad as answer since he was kind enough to post.
I managed to get sharpbits working with some quick code which I pasted below for anyone who might stumble upon this question. Like I mentioned above add the DLL to your project.
Dim b As New SharpBits.Base.BitsManager
Dim mynewjob As SharpBits.Base.BitsJob = _
b.CreateJob("jobname", SharpBits.Base.JobType.Download)
mynewjob.AddFile("\servershareigfile.zip", "c:igfile.zip")
mynewjob.Resume()
You'll need to write some logic to check for the status of the job. Once it hits "Transferred" status you can then mark it as complete. This will write the file from a .bin to the file name you listed. Something that helped me was installing the Windows Support Tools (you can get it from a Windows 2003 Cd/DVD in the sup tools folder)and using Bitsadmin.exe to view the status of the job while debugging.

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the lower 7 bits and 7-13 bits of two hex numbers.
Here is some example c code, just need this in vb.net:
serialBytes[2] = 0x64 & 0x7F; // Second byte holds the lower 7 bits of target.
serialBytes[3] = (0x64 >> 7) & 0x7F; // Third data byte holds the bits 7-13 of target
The 0x7F is a constant so the only number that changes based off input is the 0x64.

View 6 RepliesI will use the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to transfer files from a client (laptop) to a shared folder on a server within our local network.The problem is a very slow network bandwith, if we transfer a file, the other clients canīt work, all requests to other clients (application) or viewing internet pages needs a long time.My idea is to use BITS in my tool to copy/transfer a file from client to server, also I hope to get more performance for the internet requests.

I should also mention that this same master page works elsewhere in the site. Session is used throughout the site as well (not just in the master page).
TimeGetTime gives the runtime of the program (I think) in millisec. How big is the variable in bits? I meen it must overflow at somepoint. How often does this happen?

View 5 RepliesWhat is the best way to store 4 bits from a byte in VB.Net? Where best means:Most straightforward method of storage from a Byte type.The easiest to work with while performing bitwise operations.Straightforward conversion of the bits to other types.Storing them in a BitArray via it's constructor reverses the order of the bits. This means that attempting to get the value of the first bit will require looking for that value in the last entry in the BitArray.

I have made a very small (only one form and no database operations) but nifty application and I want many people to be able to use it. My question is: As I only need a very small part of the dotnet framework, is there a way to let the compiler (or so) grab only the parts it needs for the .exe/.msi file, so that users don't have to install the entire 3.5 framework just to run my tiny little app?

View 1 RepliesIs there another way to easily make a POST request in .NET other than the WebRequest class? I have a very, VERY small piece of data I need to post: password=theword but WebRequest randomly, and I mean randomly, drops the data when posting to my server. I've tested it by using a chunk of code from my server that dumps the request to a console, and I can that the client is sometimes sending and sometimes not sending the POST data.The code that I'm using that uses WebRequest works in another project, when talking to IIS. The server being talked to (a minimal web server in another system) responds properly every time I POST data to it through Firefox. I've got a function in the same project that fires off a GET request, and that works. It just seems like my POST function isn't completing the transaction...something I've noticed in the past when asking WebRequest to handle small strings.[code]
View 2 RepliesIs it safe to assume an int will always be 32 bits in C#? The linked question asks whether it is "safe to assume that an int will always be 32 bits in C#". The accepted answer states that "the C# specification rigidly defines that int is an alias for System.Int32 with exactly 32 bits".
My question is this: does this hold true for VB.Net's Integer? Is it safe to assume that Integer will always be an alias for int32?
I am trying to get the position and text of all DeskTop icons, by sending a SendMessage to the desktop's listview, using LVI_GETITEMTEXT.

I asked a question earlier about comparing numbers using the "And" comparison operator in If Statements and now I have been toying around with getting my head wrapped around bitwise operators. So I have written a very basic code that will allow me to see the conversion of any decimal number in binary format.[code]Notice here that I am using SByte as the paramerter - which should only contain 8 bits right? However, the message box that appears has 16 bits assigned to negative numbers.
