Determining Windows Startup Mode (Safe Mode, Normal)
Jun 21, 2010I'm wondering if there is any code that I could use in VB.net so it can determine the computer's startup mode (such as safe mode or safe mode with networking).

View 1 RepliesThe problem is as follows: If Windows starts up in Safe Mode, no applications I make with VS 2010 will run. Even if I try to launch them, doubleclicking, running, almost everything I tried, the problem is that the application just doesn't show up. There is no window there, and I don't know (haven't checked) if a process related to the application is running.

When I compile my solution and execute the program and set the form in window normal, it behaves strangely. The grip is apparent, the mouse changes to the appropriate icon, but I cannot change the size of the window.

I work for a shop that maintains a fairly new app. The app still has its fair share of bugs, with numerous tickets coming in daily. The error information we're given with those tickets is not as useful as it might be because the application was compiled in Release mode, which I read is smaller and faster (makes sense).
Are there any ramifications to deploying a .NET application to production that was compiled in Debug mode? I would expect it would be a bit slower, but I've read the difference is nominal. This would assure us that when we get errors on tickets we have line number associated with those errors and this, of course, makes debugging much easier. major red flags that would prevent you from doing this? I'm tasked with researching the possibility.
This is applicable to C# and VB.Net. I am writing a console application, but one aspect of it I want to make representable in a GUI (that being downloads running, with progress bars). is it possible to write a console mode application that can also have a form in it that can be called from code inside the console component?

This is the reason that the user gave: I have Windows 7, and if I don't keep continuously using my computer, it goes to sleep. Now I have to restart my computer, put in the password and start again.

I need to produce an error display message when the Windows Mobile PDA is in flight mode. The user will need to pull and push data from a SQL Server server; however when in flight mode this is not doable and a message needs to be displayed. Currently the message that is displayed is:

View 11 RepliesI have a windows service that I've written in vb.net using vs 2008 targeting ASP.NET 3.5. It appears that it's installing in a running state, but with the start mode set to manual. Is there a way I can have the service be initially stopped? I assume that it would be something in my service installer, but haven't been able to find it.
View 4 RepliesIntroduction: Probably a year or more ago I asked if was possible to use the Mathematical functions in Windows Calculator or use any DLL file it may use without a satisfactory answer. As I require the greater accuracy of Windows Calculator in String format. Would it be easy to keep switching between a Vb.Net Form windows based application and Windows Calculator and, using SendKeys, get results back to a Vb.Net application using Copy & Paste via the clipboard but to do this in an automatic fashion at all please?
What I am particularly interested in is getting Log10 or LogN results and also doing ARC or INVerse LOG10 or INVerse LogN calculations. But I require the greater accuracy of windows Calculator. Additionally, would it be possible to assign a keyboard keymap to each key in Windows Calculator so that, for example, the L key would be assigned to clicking the LOG10 button, ALT for the Hyp checkbox, SHIFT for the INV checkbox and so on?So imagine sending key sequences to Windows Calculator to completely automate it. And Windows Calculator has been updated too in WINDOWS 7, would that make it any easier to work with?
I have a windows form with nothing more than 4 picture boxes on there and a button. How (if even possible) can I show this page in full screen mode but at the same time allow each control on the form to format and resize in proportion.The best analogy I can give to describe what I want is when thinking about PowerPoint. When you create a slide and then press the F5 button to go into slideshow mode, no matter what size monitor or resolution you use, it always fills up the screen appropriately.

I have written a simple VB.NET program that connects to a MS Access Database. This program runs in Windows 7 XP Mode, but does not run properly in straight Windows 7. Somehow, the Windows 7 does not connect properly or read the MS Access database data properly with the DataAdapter.Fill method. I have dual monitors, so I can run the identical program side by side (one in Windows 7 and the other in XP Mode) - one works and the other doesn't (it doesn't crash, it just get "nothing" from the database when accessing - acts like it's not connected). Has anyone else run into this, or similar, problem with VB.NET and MS Access connectivity?
View 14 RepliesI've been whining for several months about the way Windows 7 prevents application exceptions from actually occurring, and arbitrarily assigns "compatibility settings" without actually detailing what those settings are, even during Visual Studio Debugging operations. Am I just completely ignorant to some setting I can toggle to turn all that garbage off and make Win7 act like an operating system that wasn't designed for a 2 year old? It never hurts to try.

Just like the picture below, but programatically
When in "Add" mode, I have all controls on the form enabled with the exception of a listview that is disabled until the record is saved. The listview needs the primary key from the saved record in order for items to be added to the listview.
When in "Edit" mode, the form is populated when a record is selected on a search form. Specific controls are disabled. When a value in a control is changed, I have a RecordModified property that is set to True and then the Save button is enabled. I also have combo boxes that need to be populated but the selected value needs to correspond to the value pulled from the database
Whenever I make any changes in my project, they don't work and aren't visible in debug mode. They are all visible in my designer mode. It's the same with newly added code, it just doesn't work (even a simple command like showing a test messagebox doesn't work).
How could this be? It all worked fine until recently. I don't want to start over with my project, because it's a pretty big one.

I want to create an application that can run in both GUI and CLI mode. Basically what I want is when a user double clicks an EXE they get the GUI but when they run it through a command prompt they can supply CLI arguments and run entirely in the command prompt. I know that VBScript has the difference between Wscript and Cscript, but I don't know how to do that in VB.
View 8 RepliesThis should be something simple, but I just cant make it work. I have a DataGridView with a "Technician" column that I would like to have a dropdown box, allowing the user to select and assign that row to X technician. It works, however with the default edit mode, you have to click the box THREE times to get the dropdown. If the edit mode is changed to "Edit On Enter", it works FIRST click, but this ruins the way I want some of my other columns to work.
Questions:
1. Can I enable/disable editing of ONLY certain columns?
2. Can I set the edit mode for ONE column?
3. My "Unassigned" section (the last line) no longer works after adding my "With" section to add my combobox. I thought the "DataPropertyName" would allow this to work. Whats the deal?
4. Can I edit the visual style of the combo box? It does not match AT ALL
