Convert Script For Compiling Into Single .EXE File
Jan 20, 2011
I have a vbscript which I would like to compile into a single .EXE file. It's my understanding that you can't do this with vbscript and that the available applications which supposedly do the conversion are actually just glorified self extracting zip files which dump the vbs to a temp folder and run the script - not what I want.I've no experience in VB.Net and very little in VBS so I'd appreciate it someone could look over the script and let me know what areas I need to change so I can investigate the correct syntax in VB.Net.what the script does just in case there might be an issue from the conversion. The script does several things in this order:starts by scanning a CSV file (which contains a list of peoples usernames, their department and full name) looking for the line that contains a username match to that of logged in users's logon name via expanding the environment variable %USERNAME%..Once found, it splits the entire row into an array..Sets a series of Environment variables at Process level using contents of the array as values..Does a basic time check and sets the result as environment variable as above..Checks to see which version of CAD application is installed on users machine and starts application with command switch to process configuration file during startup..I don't think its overly complex now that I understand the VBS code but in VB.Net, I don't know what lines will work and what won't. I've not installed Visual Studio Express yet but will do so shortly - I presume this program is suitable for converting my script? [code]

In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:
<data name="cmdFenster.ShortcutKeys" type="System.Windows.Forms.Keys, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>Ctrl+F1</value>
</data>
It will compile fine with VB2008, but not with VB2010. Notice: The VB2010 also generates this Code in the resx file

compile my .hta file (and resources) to a .exe file.There are plenty of applications that claim to be able to do this - but they have not worked for this application - which is a mixture of javascript and VB.Simply, (and naively,) I don't want people looking at / screwing with the code.
EDIT: Of course, I understand that javascript and VB are not "compilable" since they are interpreted languages. I am just looking for a way to truly hide the source.

I have been using VB2005 for many years on 2 PCs. Over the last month I have been getting an error when I try to run the project from the IDE:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "objx86DebugBackup.exe" to "binx86DebugBackup.exe". The process cannot access the file 'binx86DebugBackup.exe' because it is being used by another process.
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets 2324 9 Backup
My questions:
1. What has changed?
2. One thread I found suggested that it is a bug, but if true is this something that has been introduced recently (I'm not aware up updating VB2005 unless it happened as part of the general updates).
3. How do I get it back to where it was?
The file is actually locked by my own process, no other application can be using it. I've even tried it with a few line noddy program. I always have to come right out of the IDE, wait a couple of minutes and then go back in - a total productivity killer.

I have a single that might have a decimal place but might not. I have to put the digit before the decimal into the first 4 bytes and the digit after in the next 4 bytes.
So 1.1 would be 01-00-00-00-01-00-00-00
or 2.1 would be 02-00-00-00-01-00-00-00
or 1 would be 01-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
The digit before the decimal point is stored like an integer in bytes the same with the digit after the point. So 1.1 gets split into 1 and 1 and then stored as 2 DWORDS: 01000000 and 01000000

Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary>
''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param>
''' <returns>The converted IEEE Single value</returns>

I have working code that will convert an xls to pdf, however, the code converts the whole workbook and I really just need to select a single sheet out of the workbook, but I can't figure out how to do it.The code I currently use is:
Dim fileName As String = "filepathfilename"
Dim xlsApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
xlsApp.ScreenUpdating = False
[code]....
Where in the code do I need to specify the sheet in the workbook? Note that I will need to make it so that depending on an option fed into the app, the sheet will change, though I don't think that should make a difference, but I thought I'd mention it either way.

I have a combobox which I want to use to change the font-size of text, but I'm getting an error.
vb.net Dim xfont As New Font(font_cbo.Text, font_cbo_size.Text, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
Conversion to Type Single is invalid So I tried to convert the string to Single, but with the same error. If I replace the "font_cbo_size.Text" to a number, it'll work fine.

I have a function in VB.NET that runs a query from an MS SQL DB, puts the results into temporary variables, then updates an Oracle DB. My question is, if the string in the MS SQL contains a single quote ( ' ), how do I update the Oracle DB for something that has that single quote?
For example: Jim's request Will produce the following error: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated The ueio_tmpALM_Comments (coming from MS SQL) is the culprit that may or may not contain the single quote.
update_oracle =
"update Schema.Table set ISSUE_ADDED_TO_ALM = '1'," & _
"ISSUE_COMMENTS = '" & ueio_tmpALM_Comments & "'," & _
"where ISSUE_SUMMARY = '" & ueio_tmpALM_Summary & "' "
Dim or_cmd_2 = New NetOracle.OracleCommand(update_oracle, OracleConn)
or_cmd_2.ExecuteNonQuery()

I want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?

I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

I am trying to make a list, separated by a comma, of entries from a single column in a SQL database. I have been spending the last several days searching for a way to do this, but every thing I found either didn't work, or wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
The query will pull all the email address that are not null. What I need to know is how to take the result of that query and make it look like this:
email0@address.com, email1@address.com, email2@address.com, etc, etc, ...
I feel like I should know this, but for the life of me, I can't remember nor can I find it in any of the textbooks I have.
I am using Visual Basic 2010 and SQL Server 2005. I also have access to Visual Basic 2005 if needed.

But the thing is when i make the changes in nric.text (textbox), the dataset actually updates the whole column in the table instead of the selected textbox.
