I hope this is the correct place to obtain a little bit of advice for a program I am looking to produce in visual basic 2010.
I currently work as a design engineer designing press tools and a lot of our designs are similer just maybe a feature, length, diameter change etc. So the design principles are the same for each product.
What I am aiming to do is program the 3D design package so that 80% of the tool design can be done using the program etc.
Now the enquiry I have is where would the best place to hold the standard data be?
For instance each press has a maximum blank diameter, shutt height, bores diameters in the bed and likewise each product type has design features with the same calculations such as length, pierce etc.
I have done a bit of reading and I have found that data can be stored into text files, xml files and databases etc or hard coded into the program.
I am looking to allow new presses to be added so the user would need to add new shutt heuights, blank size etc but the tooling would have to be unqiue dependent on the typs of stage. So I am wondering to store this information would a database be the best option even though the data will not be continually updated more a place for it to be retrived from excpet under failry rare circumstances.
I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Me.Close() End Sub
I have an application that uses Dataset.WriteXML to create a small backup before data is syncronized to a data store (less than a meg).This application has worked well for 5 years now, and all of a sudden with the installation of XML 6.0 SP2 the XML document is not working correctly.I have multiple tables within a Dataset (Company, Contact, Notes, etc...)When WriteXML is called, the first table should be Company, however, the first table is being named Contact with the Company Data in it. The Notes table is being called Contact and so forth. In other words it's not giving the correct names to the tables in the XML File.This appears to be a bug, which is causing great distress on all the companies who have been using this program.
I've just finished an application which does everything I want within the Visual Studio environment now I need a way to store the data the user creates but I've never had to do it before and am a bit lost. I've spent days trying to use XML to do this but to no avail mainly cos my classes use ArrayLists as properties and it gets a bit beyond me. I've been told that ArrayLists were not the best choice for this and would be prepared to change my design if need be if I thought the end to this problem was in sight.
I am reading data from wordpad one by one which records the sale of grocery item by barcode. I want to store it in memory so that after reading the whole file I can calculate the total number of the same items sold by comparing the bar code.
I'm having problem displaying and storing data from RS232 to access 2007. I have a PIC demo board that sends SMS via AT commands. I want to grab useful information like phone numbers and status message and store/display to access/richtextbox respectively. Right now every line of AT commands are display. And does not store to access. How do i search for the string with numbers like phone numbers?
I'm creating a program that outputs Quotations (and other information relating to these 1. What is the BEST way to read/write from a database (I only really know how to use Access but if XML or SQL would be better, I'm willing to learn). The database needs to be stored and accessed from the same state every time that the program opens. I've tried multiple different ways, both through DataAdapters (in code) to doing it through connecting the database through the Visual Studio GUI. Neither have seemed to work. Other people have told me that using DataAdapters and such aren't the best way, but no one has been able to tell me what this 'best way' is. Also, I need to somehow be able to link pictures in the database - apparently it's not easy to do in SQL?[code]...
i want to store data for Pilots ( a program i am working on ), i want to store the Callsign (ie UKV1918) and there Lat and Lon (latitude and longtitude)I need to be able to update the pilots lat and lon, and remove the pilot when they disconnect.
I just wondering if Visual Basic.NET and VB6 can do these examples.I have use python before and i will take some examples.Save numbers to a list and add
Quote:
this_is_a_list=[1,2,35,4564,532,2454,3404,3,455,2,1] x = len(this_is_a_list) this_is_a_list.insert(10, x)
len is a function who count how long a list is. This list is 11 numbers long. I will now insert/add number 10 after the last number. The first number has the place 0. The second number has the place 1.Can VB.net do that? Check how long a list is?Delete a list?
I m trying to create a windows app that will store employee working hours of everyday. Is there any way to store a week much data in some sort of file or somewhere else beside database ? Or I have to use some sort dbms.
I wish to create a visual basic asp.net web application which can store data, entered by the user via a textbox to a database, once the STORE button has been clicked. I also want to be able to view the stored data by clicking VIEW STORED DATA.I am using visual studio and I am a complete beginner. I need to know how to create an appropriate database and how to link it to my web application.
I am having a problem thinking of how to store some information in my design [code]...
Also I am thinking I would like to put something like A Division = 1 or A and so on! So I am thinking that I may have to steer away from this method and move to an array instead?
best way to store the data for a .net database and the reasons why. Please note I would like to have access to the database from a blackberry and the option for multiple applications to read & write to the database at the same time.
I'm creating a desktop application in visual basic using an online mysql database, i have the login script done but how would i save the users id into a session and then use there information for there profile page?
Currently I have a list of items that are based off of a structure of information. I have been putting off the saving function of my program until near the end to make sure that I have all the elements before I start worry about what needed to be saved. I am not asking for code, more for direction. Is it possible that I can load and save data directly to a database rather than have to hold it all in memory as a list? I have never worked with databases in vb.net, and wonder if there are places that would help with this under the requirements I need.
My program saves recipes into a structured list. All the listboxes and forms use the list to populate the correct data on them. I know I could just save all the data each time the program ends into an XML file, and load it each time the program opens.... but is that the best way? Can it be done with a database without having to constantly save or load a file?
Since some of my users log on as non-administrators, (without administrator priveleges), where would you reccomend I store their programs data files. For example, the program Test Prog would store user data in: [code]The problems is permissions file access when they are not signed on as the administrator and they need read write access to their data files. Also is there a universal system directory name I could use so it would be the same on all users computers, like %Documents% or something?
I have a file which is opened and the bytes are loaded into a class.The file needs to be split into chunks, and there is a header which gives the locations and sizes of the chunks.Should I (upon opening the file) split the file into chunk sand store each chunk in an array of variables And then when I want to access the data in the chunks I just use the array.
or store all the chunks in one variable together and then when I need access to the chunks get the location and size of them and use that to find chunks each time I need to modify them.
I don't know if I can have several same forms to do the manager jobs, ACTUALLY THE STORE VALUES ARE DIFFERENT(those forms can have the independant data values to store into the forms), like if I can have the datagridviews to store the different values? SO,MY QUESTION IS if I can have several same forms(FROM ONE SAME FORM), and can store different data values into the forms with vb.net & access, OR I HAVE TO CREATE SEVERAL SAME FORMS.
A convenient way to store structured data is to use classes.While classses offer a very good flexibility they have a big drawback that they increases the quantity of disk space
I am doing a college project for a driving instructor, so the heart of the program is getting the booking part right. I've made a structure in a module:
