What is the for ... next loops in the second subroutine doing? What is the sim() array meaning?
I have been given an old dll and the assignment of accessing it through C# .NET 3.5. I believe the dll was originally built with VB6, but am not positive. There is no documentation or source for the dll aside from an example for how to use the it in VB6. I have been able to succesfully access it through VB.NET 3.5. Example code for accessing looks like this:
myLib = CreateObject("MyLib.api")
myConnection = myLib.CreateObject("NameOfConnectionObject")
myConnection.do_something("abc")
There are several different objects that are created from the library and all of those objects have different methods. I tried using different dll reading tools, but all the export methods show up as garbage. I also tried importing the dll in visual studio, but I get an error stating the dll is not accessible and/or not a COM object or assembly. So, I only know about the methods from the old documentation which is sparse. how to access in C# and/or find out more about this mystery dll?
i cant understand what constants are.
View 3 RepliesI have a modem that I've been trying to communicate with only to discover this....went to the modem properties and queried the modem.....
AT+FCLASS = 0,1,8
AT#CLASS = ? COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
(And I had been trying to use AT#CLASS = 8 all day).So, what does this mean?That the modem is automatically in voice mode (or will automatically choose it's own mode) and forcing it isn't necessary?Still no luck with the connection response messages either -- RING, etc.All I can do is make a call and the called number will appear in a textbox.
I am getting a build error. If I try to build again after getting this error, it will build just fine.

View 4 RepliesI've been trying to understand classes and objects. Yes, I'm thick headed and slow, but I made the decision to go to .Net and I am determined to improve my coding skills to be more efficient. I have spoken to Atma several times on the topic and read most of his posts concerning classes and objects, but still came away a little baffled (He's really advanced for me yet). I needed a simplistic analogy for a reference point to begin understanding. I was reading about OOP written by MikeJ in the following thread/post ...[URL] and it all started to become clear in this statement , but I would like some reassurance that I'm getting it ..."A car IS-A vehicle, while a dog HAS-A tail. The car would be an object declared as type Vehicle, while the dog would have a member that IS-A tail. However, Fido IS-A dog. The dog class is the base template for all dog objects, so when we declare Fido as a dog, Fido is an object. Since Fido IS-A dog, Fido HAS-A tail."
From this I have taken the following understanding...
Vehicle ... ' Class
Car ....... ' Object
Truck ... ' Object
Van ....... ' Object
And from that can I infer that this is true?
Dog ....... ' Class
Fido ... ' Object
Tail .. ' Member of Fido
So to apply this to a program I wrote recently that tracks Generator service...
Generator ' Would be the class
Brand X ' Would be an object
Spark Plug ' Would be a member
Gas Tank ' Would be a member
Brand Y ' Would be an object
Brand Z ' Would be an object
This statement also helped ...
""Class" and "object" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, classes describe the structure of objects, while objects are instances of classes. Each instance is an exact copy of its base class. Because an object is an "instance" of a class, the act of creating an object is called instantiation. To describe it better, a class is a blueprint, and an object is a building based on that blueprint". I can understand this (I think) and it refers to a basic template such as ..."Generator" (my class or blueprint or template) Generators have an engine, powerplant, fuel tank, etc. These are basic requirements to be a generator. (Template or Blueprint) They can differ by Brand of engine, Size of powerplant, and type of fuel used. (Based on template or blueprint) Do I have it down now? MikeJ also made this statement ..."you can't access certain types of class members from outside of the class itself." From this I assume you would need to assign a Global variable the value of the class member if you needed to use it outside of the class?
I'm just getting back into VB and was never a pro. The last environment I was in, briefly, was VB6 but spent a good amount of time coding in early VB's back to QB.I'm trying to read RSS feeds and found a nice demo reader but now I want to understand the code I'm seeing:[code]
1. Why does the demo create a new XML to read through an existing XML or is this all in memory as I can't find an actually file? Is this even needed as what I want to do is read the RSS feed, grab some info from it (Source, Title of each story, Date stamp, author and the story text) and then process that in various ways (not actually view it... I want to e-mail specific stories directly to me that fit my search criteria). Or is this just opening the XML out on the web? That would explain why sending it "test" gives me an error saying it can't find "test" in the bin folder as without an HTTP address it goes local.
2. doc.load... what check can I perform here to be certain that the data entered by the user is actually a valid feed? It should, for example, have a first line header that is reliable but is that the best method?
3. Where or how are the elements stored that I can then refer back to pull the data out I want?
4. I don't understand how this part works: navigator.Select("/rss/channel/item/title") Can someone shed some lite on the 4 pieces at the end?
5. I'm assuming the clean-up isn't really needed for e-mail but I didn't remove it as it doesn't seem to harm anything.
I have Visual Basic 2010 and also bought a book to study and practice problems. I know how to add controls and assign properties but get confused with the coding part.understand this somewhat?
Here is one problem I am working on-
Write a program to make change for an amount of money from 0-99 cents input by the user. the output of the program should show the number of coins from each denomination used to make change.
Now I know what controls i need on the windows form but I am sorta lost on the coding to make this program work.
At the following cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() line, I get the following error message: [code] I have followed the example at page [code] as closely as possible, but it does not work.Additionally, I am not sure of the syntax for the length (64) that I have for the BigInt or if it should even have a length.All of the examples that I have found in MSDN uses only parameters with character rather than numberic type.

My questions isn't really about a programming language but, since I did not find a general programming forum, I chose this one as I know VB.Net. There's this game, that you might already know, which is called Star Wars Galaxies (And is ending soon actually .. ). For each account and character, the game automatically saves chat logs in a .cht file. A player can have multiple chat channels that have different chat filters (group chat, public chat, etc) and they are all saved in this file. I'm thinking they are probably separated by some kind of a "flag" for the game to be able to detect them.

I am referring to this document on MSDN. I understand what ".BeginInvoke" does, however looking at the example code on the document.[code]The delegate myDelegate (and the DelegateMethod) accepts a control and a string, but, at the .BeginInvoke, a Label control is passed and an array.[code]Shouldn't a string be passed instead of the array? Am I missing something?
View 2 Repliesif a call to For Each starts by calling the Enumerator's MoveNext, then Current, then MoveNext, then Current, and so on until MoveNext returns a False then it exits, am i right to say that the Reset is never called?initially i thought that Reset would be called when MoveNext returns False, i tried this (a msgbox would come if it was ever called but i got no msgbox at all)

if that's the case, what exactly is the use of the reset in an ienumerator, and is it ok to leave it empty, as such
I'm trying to understand ComboBox and the use of columns (or equivalent) in .NET For instance, I have a bound form with a combo box and a table that i want to feed it. In the table I have EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName. I want the "Bound Column" to be the EmployeeID, but the combo box to display the last and first name of the employee. This was very easily obtainable in VBA but is giving me some grief in VB.NET. I've played around with the datamember and valuemember properties of the combobox but have not had any luck.

I am trying to get the hang of this stupid VB.net, but it won't even let me create a subroutine or function, it use to be in the tools menu in VB6.

View 1 RepliesI have an old program written in VB6. I upgraded the program with VB 2008. The updated program works fine except when the program tries to transfer an array to another subroutine. The old VB6 program sends arr(0) as an argument to the subroutine, the address of arr(0) is passed to the subroutine. The array arr() address is the first of a block of consequent addresses one by one, arr(1), arr(2), etc.
Now when running VBnet, the address of arr(0) is not the first of all consequent arr(1), arr(2), etc. It is an isolated number, just like if arr(0) were a variable instead of an array. The addresses of arr(1), arr(2), etc do not exist in the subroutine. [Code]
The variable of y1 passes to the subroutine oK, whilst arr(0) passes also like y1 into an isolated address. So VBnet interprets arr(0) like a variable rather than the first value of a long list. I haven't been able to find out why the above sample does not work. I got stuck in my programming effort, as I cannot proceed to to further development. how the code should be modified to enable the whole array information passing through the subroutine.
Problem is, I need to call a VB.NET function from javascript, no two ways around it. This is a bit harder to find.BTW -- Web/Page methods won't work. I have to be able to reference a listbox and it's selected items when the VB code-behind fires.
