Checking State Of DNS Server
Dec 6, 2009
My ISP's DNS server goes down all of a sudden sometimes. This is very annoying while surfing the internet. So, I'm trying to make an application which has the following characteristics :
Runs in system tray
Pings the server periodically
Notifies when the server becomes unreachable/active
Now, I know that the existing workarounds are to use OpenDNS or ping <IP Address> -t in command prompt. I don't want to use them... the reason being that the former gives much higher pings than my DNS & for the latter, I'll have to switch windows.

I get an error that message value has not been declared.

I am trying to find a way to accurately verify if a Windows 7 machine is currently using an active license and activated. I believe I can initiate a 'cmd.exe' command to run a cscript (slmgr) and parse that information but that seems like an inefficient method.I have came across an unmanaged windows API called SLGetGenuineInformation [url] however I am not familiar with how to call this in VB.NET or what the variable types should be. I believe VB6 came with some sort of APIViewer that Visual STudio 2010 does not seem to contain.

For almost a week I am reading and trying to find a solution for checking connection state using a TCP Client (using socket class) In my scenario I have a TCP Client that is connected to a server (it is not controlled by me) and i want that from time to time to check the connection state, and reconnect if necessary.I have read a lot of information on the internet but i did not find a suitable solution.Briefly, these are the methods that i have found on the internet and try to implement.But unfortunatelly, i have found some scenarios where the TCP Server is closed and the TCP Client is still saying Connected 1.Example from MSDN

I am a ASP Classic Programmer, professionally for a little over a year, I have developed some rather nice sites, including the one in my signature (Still a work in progress).
I have been forced to use ASP.NET (VB) for a FileUpload control, as it offers a self controlled way of creating Thumbnails, without the use of 3rd party controls, which is great, as my hosting server does not allow for 3rd party installs on their servers.
So.
The code below is what I have so far for connecting to the database and displaying a record is the "cookie" exist on the users computer.
Unfortunantly, this is not working, and to be honest with you, their is not a whole lot of resources available to show how to do this correctly.
So I am stuck with a lot of post and hoping that someone can actually assist me with this and tell me what I am doing wrong and maybe correct my code.
I am getting an error about the "Connection is closed"
If you want to re-write my code, I prefer something simple and basic, as the only thing that I am doing to checking rather the user is logged in, and if so, display a record from the database. I am NOT in the need for the DataGrid, so please do not suggest it, as I am only needing to check this one thing.
I would like to also add, that I have successfully contect to my database with the FileUpload control and save file names of the images uploaded, so I know that my connection string is done properly> But, for some reason the "SELECT" statement is causing a HUGE issue. (It was easier to insert, than to select, I am not use to that)

I have a VB2005 winforms application that will loads city data from my database table. This is to ensure that the user enters the correct city spelling, in order to receive an accurate quote. Currently, there are about 150K cities that are being loaded to the dropdown listbox on page load. It takes about 30-40 seconds for that page to load. My initial thought was to allow the user to select the state first. Then load the city values. But the user has the option of going back and requesting a quote for a different city / state.

Completely new to ASP.net
Page Language="vb"
Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3603; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082
I want to check on the server for the existence of an image, then if it does exist, display the image wrapped in other code. E.g.
if "/images/name.jpg" exists then
<div><img src="/images/name.jpg"></div>
else
Do nothing.
Seems really simple to me but NOTHING I have tried has worked (compilation errors). I've tried examples using system.io, DIM stuff with 'FileInfo', Set fs. FileInfo examples produce 'not defined' errors, 'Set' says it's outdated and not used anymore and so on.

Our website uses our own custom-built session state management separate from ASP.NET Session State. But because a handful of special pages use SQL Server Reporting Services, we also need to enable ASP.NET Session State. Since we are in a load-balanced environment, we enabled the ASP.NET State Server (aspnet_state.exe or "Out-of-process Mode") on a separate backend machine.Today I noticed that when we temporarily brought down the machine running the State Service in our Dev environment, the Dev website stopped working ("Unable to make the session state request to the session state server.") This despite having EnableSessionState="False" on the page being loaded.Why would ASP.NET need to connect to the State Service when serving a request for a page that does not use Session State? This seems to happen even if the page does not use a Master Page, Base Page, or any User Controls. I searched through all our code-behind to ensure that we never programmatically re-enable Session State or attempt to access it.
As suggested by a user below, I tried creating a web site from scratch to retest this without any complications from httpHandlers, httpModules, or other custom logic.I used Visual Studio 2008 to create a new "ASP.NET Web Site" using VB.NET.I ran the site through VS, allowing it to enable debug mode and generate a standard web.config file.I added <sessionState mode="StateServer" stateConnectionString="tcpip=localhost:42424" /> under the <system.web> element and started my local ASP.NET State Service".I changed the Default.aspx page's EnableSessionState to False and reloaded the page = OK.I stopped the ASP.NET State Service and reloaded the page = "Unable to make the session state request to the session state server."At this point I was puzzled because other users claimed that they had tried something similar and did not experience the same issue. So I wondered if it had anything to do with using VB.NET (silly though that sounds.) More people use C# for ASP.NET, so I redid my test above with a C# web site, and lo and behold, no exception when accessing the page! I only got an exception if I set EnableSessionState to True and actually accessed the Session collection in code.This proves that VB.NET sites in ASP.NET behave slightly differently in that they access session state on each page, even if the page does not need to. Unfortunately this doesn't answer my original question: Why?I am going to cross-post this to the official ASP.NET forums and see if any gurus there can shed some light.

In a VB.net app, I have several checkboxes created with regular ASP controls, i.e.asp:CheckBox ID="cb3" runat="server" Checked="true" />I'm trying to implement a "Select all/none" functionality but I'm having a few problems. The Javascript is not changing the state of the checkboxes in Internet Explorer (v9). I tried debugging with IE's dev tools and the checkboxes are definitely getting their checked property set to true. (Also tried setting to "checked".) Here is the JS:
function setCheckboxes( state )
{
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");

I'm looking for some smart ideas on how to quickly find all usage of session state within an existing asp.net (MVC) application.
The application in question was the subject of outsourced development, and has been running fine in production. But we recently realised that it's using InProc session state rather than (our preferred route) StateServer.
In a small scale test, we switched it over to StateServer, and all worked fine. However, when we deployed to production, we suddenly experienced a large number of errors. I'm not sure if these errors were caused by this change (they were actually complaining about database level problems), but removing the change allowed the application to function once again (this may have just been because it caused a recycle to occur).
So before I try switching it again, I'd like to perform a thorough audit of all objects being placed in the session (I'd previously taken a quick look at a couple of controllers, and they seemed fine). If I had full control over the code, this is the kind of place where I'd just comment out the class (to compile and find the various ways of reaching the session class), then comment out the accessors, hit compile, and visit each error. But I can't do that with built in .NET framework types.
I decided to try using Reflector. I've analyzed the "Used By" for each of the following:
System.Web.HttpSessionStateBase.set_Item(String, Object) : Void
System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState.set_Item(String, Object) : Void
System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState.set_Item(Int32, Object) : Void

I have a label's value that is posted back from a previous page and I want to use this label to do a simple calculation in the current page, but when I do the calculation the page (refreshed) the value of this label and automatically deleted the value (Since there would be no value in postback when it refreshed).
Here is the code behind file:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Label2.Text = Request.Form("Hidden1")
End Sub
and here where I want to use the label
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Stotal As String
Stotal = Val(Label2.Text) * 10
Label3.Text = Stotal
End Sub
How can I save the value in the page via view state or any other method?

Here is, basically, how my application works:
When windows starts, my app starts. Whenever my app is running, it hides the desktop, taskbar, etc... When a button is clicked in my application ("Start program"), then my application will set its visible property at false and another application will start.
Everything seems to work perfect except I need a way for my application to set its visible property back to true, but only once the other application that was started earlier, is closed (no longer running.)
My thought was that I could use a timer to check for the applications state every so many seconds:[code...]
I have 2 concerns with this:
1. A timer checking this every few seconds will invoke unneeded stress on a computer since they are running for sometimes very long periods of time.
2. There is a better way to accomplish this that doesnt rely on a timer.

I can create a checkbox array as follows
Code:
For n = 0 To 13
With (chkboxarray(n))
.Tag = n + 1 ' Tag of button
.Width = 35 ' Width of button
[code]....
But when I run the program the checkboxes only display 2 states (they do work as 3 states). what I am missing to display the "Indeterminate" state?

im trying to figure out how on earth to set a checkbox on a DataRepeater row to true. Nothing ive tried seems to work. Ive searched all over, and all i seem to find is ways to check the state and in ASP.
Text boxes would be:DataRepeater1.CurrentItem.Controls(
"textbox1").Text = textbox2.Text.However, checkboxes wont work in this way. DataRepeater1.CurrentItem.Controls("Checkbox1").Checked = True"Checked is not a member of windows.forms.control" - ive tried various things in order to set it to true/false, but whatever i do doesent work. I expect its going to be something stupidly simple, but its those things that annoy the most IMO!
