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 3 RepliesI'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 1 RepliesI'm working on a windows forms application and would like to incorporate a feature that would allow me to pull the video stream from a networked DVR source. I have an existing desktop program that I may be able to use to snoop out some of the protocols used, but I have absolutely no idea where to look for a library or api to actually display the video.
Has anyone successfully done this? (Connected to a remote DVR, played realtime video in their own application)
I have an engineering firm and our website was built using Visual Studio 2010 / asp.net 4.0 / VB. Recently, a client (GM) requested that we have a knowledge base where they can input their questions, and we can answer 'em. Kind of like a FAQ, or a Lessons Learned type of thing. But it'll require that they'll be able to log in and ask their own questions.
For instance: Q: How would I incorporate multiple machine vision systems into a bead detection application?A: You would need to use a software such as PPT and have multiple fixtures in order to assimilate the cameras accordingly.

I think the problem arose because of Windows 7, but when I was at school the program worked. The program fills in the text boxes with information from Microsoft Access. However, my laptop has Windows 7, and when debugged, the information doesn't fill in the text boxes like before. Also, for added information, the school's computers run with Windows XP.

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.
View 3 RepliesI am moving Visual Basic 2010 Express from a 32 bits Windosw 7 machine to a 64 bits Windows 7 machine. My project contains a PowerPacks line. I have installed the PowerPacks (VisualBasicPowerPacks3Setup.exe) on the 64 bits system, and see them in the toolbox.
