Creating A Circular VB Form - 2008?
Jan 31, 2010Is it possible to create a circular visual basic form. I see plenty of tutorials on how to do this for VB6 but none on Visual Basic Express.

C# - Delegate Event To Form Without Creating Circular Reference
Jun 19, 2012I have a class that is in an assembly due to being required for other projects that I'm currently working on. One class lets call it Class Factory, creates a group of controls which require click event handlers to be attached, I have algorithms which determine polymorphic behavior based on certain features but that is relatively irrelevant.
Due to the event handler having to open up a specific form that isn't part of my assembly, and that form requiring this "Factory" class. Without creating circular reference is there any way I can essentially "delegate" the handler event for the form to define? As a simple work around I have had to maintain two separate classes, one in the project with the form and one in the assembly.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Width = 1500
Dim panel As New Panel
panel.Location = New Point(0, 0)
panel.Size = New Size(1000, 200)

Jan 13, 2010I'm working on a simple base form in which all the other forms in the project will inherit.This base form only adds 5 properties (at the moment) dealing with painting a gradient background. The problem I'm facing right now is when I change a property on Form1 (the test form) and click run it doesn't show that change. I also checked the .designer.vb file and when I make a change it's not added to the code behind file, I'm at a loss right now to why

Sep 14, 2010Is it possible to create instances of controls on a form ? Of course I mean visually , not just by code. After all, these languages define themselves as "Visual" so they should provide that possibility. It is important for the instances to be visible during design time because otherwise we could only guess where those controls might "land". Nevertheless , I have the feeling this is not possible in VB .NET but still I thought I should ask first ...

VS 2008 Error Occurred Creating The Form?
Nov 16, 2009I don't know what's wrong. I can't figure out what's causing this error. I've tried placing a breakpoint on the load event but this error happens before. I tried a breakpoint at the form's class, but it crashes still. I haven't done anything major, just added a couple GUI elements, and I've tried deleting them to get to the point I was at before this error, but no luck.
View 1 RepliesVS 2008 (TcpClient) User/User Connection Circular Reference?
Aug 22, 2010I have multiple TcpClient connections to my program. The connections exist as instances of a UserConnection class, that fires events on logon attempt and when receiving messages. My program also holds a Users object, which is a list of a User class objects, holding saved data (username, password etc) for each user that is allowed to log in.
It seems convenient to put a reference object of the respective user, in the UserConnection class (when successful login is verified). Hence, when an event is raised by the connection, the connection object will hold the user reference. As any event handler logic will need to know which user is responsible for the event.
If I don't make a user reference in the UserConnection class, then I need to loop through the users (less than 20) each time, to find the correct user. Not a big deal maybe, but i'm looking to understand how it would be done by an experienced programmer.
When data needs to be sent to a user, I need to access a UserConnection object. Hence the User class also holds a reference to the UserConnection class.

Visual Studio 2008 Creating A Check In Form For A Class Of Students With An Access Database?
Dec 4, 2009Visual Basic Project - Student Check In Form using an Access database backend This form needs to draw information from an Access database containg tables for STUDENT, INSTRUCTOR, and SECTION. These all need to have primary keys and ids. When (the user) clicks on the drop down box that displays all the sections:
{Table Tennis 1, Table Tennis 2, Table Tennis 3, Billiards 1, Billiards 2, Billiards 3}This should populate the listbox or datagrid from the STUDENT table with the Students that have the same SECTIONID as the SECTION selected in the drop down menu above.
After the Student list has been populated (the user) clicks on a student name in the listbox/datagrid and this inserts that student into the CHECKEDIN table that has a datagrid/listbox associated with it.
This is a great project to practice connecting a database to Visual Studio 2008 .net and playing with the data that has been pulled in. You could use SQL instead of Access.

View 1 RepliesWorking With A Circular Transparency?
Aug 24, 2009my team is working on an application where we have to have one image which is acting as the base of all the elements on the screen.. and this same image has a transparency in the center. now this centre transparency is supposed to display a picture which will be captured from a web cam.currently everything working fine but the only problem which we are facing is that the picture is not proportionate to what is the actual resolution that it was shot at. it has been stretched from the top and bottom. the reason is that the imagebox which has been used to call this webcam display is a aquare.now it seems that the team is not being able to use the exact proportions of the image to call it in the picturebox for a reason that the final image needs to be cropped to fit in a circle.in simple words, i have a rectangular image and i want to draw a circle over this image. whatever is within the circle should be visible, whatever is outside the circle should be transparent. (a mask needs to be created...)but the only thing is that this circle will first display the image/video from the web camera and only once the picture is clicked, it should show the same picture within this circular area.
View 3 Replies.net - High Speed Circular Buffer?
Jun 8, 2012I have been asked to improve the memory efficiency of an application that is used for high speed data acquisition. After running the VS memory profiler several times and scanning the projects for obvious issues I came to the following conclusion: despite using a fixed size circular buffer for storing acquired sample points, the RAM usage increases relative to the polling period. For example: polling data for one signal at 2 microseconds can use 5 times more memory (private bytes) than when running at 50 microseconds ... even though the buffer size is the same.
The circular buffer is an array of SamplePoint objects. Each of these objects contains an array of Shorts (16 bit) for corresponding data per signal and one date object (8 bytes) for the time stamp. For efficiency, the circular buffer is Redimmed only once every time it begins polling and filled with empty sample points which are then "assigned".
Also, it seems that when we stop and run the application it hogs even more memory each time as though the Redim is not releasing the previous array. My questions boil down to the following: What is most memory efficient way of implementing a circular buffer containing managed objects which have arrays?Also, how and why is memory usage increasing with a fixed size array with different polling speeds? Does the garbage collector not have time? Do local variables get disposed of IMMEDIATELY when a sub or function exits?These are some of the doubts and concerns that I would like to rule out before proceeding.

Circular Reference In A TextBox_TextChanged Event?
Jun 10, 2009I have created a TextBox array where certain cells are assigned a number which I do not want the operator to change either intentionally or inadvertantly.The relevant TextBox cells are identified by their BackColor, (in this case LightBlue)If the cell is changed the original content is immediately assigned to the cell and a relevant message is displayed.My problem is that by changing the value back to its original value I create another TextChanged event and the consequence is that the MsgBox is displayed twice, one after the other.I have avoided the problem by not displaying a message box. The outward appearance is that the TextBox is not changed at all, which of course is my aim.However I would prefer to display a message box.An example of the scenario is shown below.
Another bewildering fact, (to me), is that in the example below, if the check is not made of the BackColor but instead the value of the TextBox the problem doesn't occur
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If TextBox1.BackColor = Color.LightBlue Then[code]...
In the example above, if in the Text_Changed event handler the 'Remark' is changed from one 'If' statement to the other the differences in the result can be seen.
Circular Referencing - Validated Three Lists
Oct 5, 2010I'm working on creating my own sudoku solver to learn vb.net. I decided to have an element class which represents a single square in the puzzle. That element then has references to three lists which can be validated (no duplicate numbers). The three lists then would be its corresponding row/column/subGrid. Each list then holds a reference to 9 elements. Thus in my design an element has a reference to a list, which then holds a reference to that same element. Now vb.net will allow me to do this so I don't think it is the same issue that I saw when searching for solutions to circular referencing. However, I still wonder whether or not this is bad design.

View 1 RepliesDisposing Of Objects And Circular References
May 24, 2010I have a button which opens FormTest. When FormTest opens, it creates an instance of ClassTest and that class instance takes the form instance that called it (FormTest) so that it can perform operations on FormTest from the ClassTest class instance. So i have a form which owns an instance of a class which has a reference to the form.

Feb 8, 2012I use the following code (with Imports Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound and Microsoft.DirectX) to play sound using an 8 second static buffer:
Dim SD As Device = New Device
SD.SetCooperativeLevel(Me.Handle, CooperativeLevel.Priority)
Dim MS As New IO.MemoryStream(Gbuffer) ' Gbuffer is byte array with properly formatted WAV data
Dim waveFormat As New WaveFormat
waveFormat.SamplesPerSecond = 44100
[Code] .....
What I would like to do next is to change to a "circular" or "streaming" buffer so that I can write new data "on the fly". I've done a lot of Googling but can't quite see how to adapt my present code to use a circular buffer. I can get the current write and play positions using Msb.GetCurrentPosition(iPlayPos, iWritePos) but how do I actually insert new data into the buffer? I have tried "manually" writing new data into my Gbuffer byte array but that doesn't work - I guess once a sound has been played through once, the data is cached somewhere and the contents of Gbuffer are not used again.
Custom Serialization And Circular References, Is There A Clean Solution?
Aug 3, 2010I'm implementing some custom serialization (to byte array), and have run into a problem handling circular references.Example:
Class A
public MyBs as new List(of B)
End class
Class B
public MyParent as A
public MiscInt1 as integer[code]....
If I know that an instance of B will only ever be serialized through the serialization of an instance of A, then I can handle the setup of the MyParent reference from the instance of A and not even record that information inside the byte buffer for the instance of B.This doesn't feel quite right, but it might be the best solution.

View 1 RepliesC# - Enable Circular Dependencies In Visual Studio At The Assembly Level?
Jul 3, 2010So in Visual Studio, you can't have two projects X and Y such that X references Y and Y references X.In general, I can totally understand how having a circular dependency can be problematic, for a variety of reasons.But is it really not possible to compile two projects that are interdependent in this way? It seems to me that it must be possible, since (in my mind -- maybe I'm completely off-base about this) having two mutually dependent assemblies is really not so different from having two mutually dependent classes -- a case which is legal and can be compiled.
It would make sense to me if you said, "two assemblies cannot depend on each other because the compiler could not compile one before the other"; except that it seems you could make the same argument for two classes within the same assembly, and clearly the compiler can deal with this scenario just fine.
Basically the reason I'm asking is not that I have some desperate desire to do this thing that I know is generally ill-advised anyway. Specifically I'm wondering because it would be nice if I could have two projects -- say, MyProjectCS and MyProjectVB -- that existed basically as two mutually dependent parts of a single unit, and were only separate because certain parts were written in C# and other parts were written in VB.NET.
Is it possible to enable this behavior (in Visual Studio, or elsewhere, for that matter)? If it's not possible within any IDE, it it at least theoretically possible, or could mutually dependent assemblies not possibly exist? If it's not even theoretically possible, why not? In other words, how are mutually dependent assemblies different from mutually dependent code within a single assembly?
Code Organization - .NET Circular Dependency / Duplex Communication Between Projects?
Oct 16, 2011I have 2 projects
UI
Functionality
UI references Functionality to call specific functions. Functionality needs to call certain functions that operate UI. This is what I mean by Duplex communication. Is there any way to do this without causing circular dependency?Should there be 1 main project which simply does all the calling acting as a "wrapper" between UI and Functionality?
