I'm running stored procedure from asp.net front-end but it's quite long. What is the easy way on running that thing in the background? I mean if I close the browser, I still want my stored procedure to complete not just die. Also, I would like to perform other actions on the front-end while my procedure is running.
View 3 RepliesThe instructions are as follows:
1. Write a Visual Basic Console Application.Inside the main procedure call a function procedure to input and return a value for a double variable called x, the width of a right triangle.Inside the main procedure call the same function procedure a second time to get a value for a double variable called y, the height of a right triangle.
2. From the main procedure call a function procedure which calculates and returns a value for the hypotenuse equal to the square root of (x squared + y squared).You will have to pass the values of x and y to this function procedure.The procedure should calculate and return a double type value.The value that is returned by this function procedure should be equal to the square root of (x squared + y squared).
3. Also from the main procedure call a sub procedure to display the values of x, y, and the hypotenuse.
In a tic tac toe game I am making there are two blocks of code that are identical except that they access different arrays:[code]Arrays plyrTaken and plyrPairs are used in the first block and cmptrTaken and cmptrPairs are used in the second. Is it possible to wrap these blocks into one Sub Procedure passing the different arrays when the procedure is called?
View 5 RepliesI am communicating with a USB-HID device. It will successfully complete hundreds of send-receive requests but occasionally get a Null Exception error.
[Code]...
at the rxData.dataPacket(i) = element I will get a NullReference error every now and then. I could enclose it in a try/catch statement, but I'd like to fix the root problem if possible.This device is communicating to microcontrollers, and it is possible that they won't always give a value... but my feeling is this is some sort of UI threading issue. When debugging, even though there is a null exception, many times there actually does seem to be data in dataReceived.data.ToList(). Is there an easy way to place the whole data processing routine on a thread separate from the UI?Edit: Changed code to match answer and give more info on where it is used. Still get NullReferenceExceptions after about 1,000 completed send/receive requests to the HID device.
I have always wondered about this and seen this among lots of programmers. Why is a VB programmer or VB code easily dismissed as too noobish and easy while the same does not apply to Python or Python code? After all, isn't Python as easy as VB is? And it does provide drag-n-drop GUI application building also. So why is it that VB is flamed and yet Python is not?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to play with DirectShow but it's getting on top of me and my question on here didn't answered so I'm thinking maybe I should go with a different approach. (DirectShow VB.net can't change recording format). <- Where as that 'works' I can't get it in the format I want it, and I don't really understand it so I'd obviousl like to go down the route of something I can get my head around.

View 2 RepliesLets say I have 30 text fields in a Frame on my form, and I want to set them all to disable (so users can't edit them).Is there an easy way to walk through those fields without having to create an array of text fields?
I.E., in ... VB 6, with an array of text fields, I can do something like this:
For i = 0 to 10
txtfield(x).enabled = true.
Next i
Is there something in VB.NET where I won't have to use an array of controls, something like this (assuming all txt fields are in a frame):

View 2 RepliesI saw another forum which discussed how to detect whether a LAN was connected, but I need to know whether my Internet connection from my ISP is up or not (I'm writing a program for day trading, so knowing if my internet connection is down is critical). I know I can simply open a browser in VB and browse to a site and see if it doesn't come back "page not found", but that involves a fair amount of overhead, and if the internet is down, it often takes many seconds to a minute to come back with "page not found". Is there some simple command that will quickly tell me that my internet connection is working? I'm using VB in VS 2008, and currently using XP although I plan to convert to Windows 7 in the next couple months.
View 3 RepliesI want to have a one second pause after some code has run. During that pause, if a certain key is pressed, I want to do some action. Otherwise, I want the code to continue as normal. What would I use to replace the comments in the following code?
myTestCode()
' Wait one second and see if a given key was pressed.
' If specific key is pressed, then show messagebox (or whatever) asking user if we should cancel (whatever)

Yes, I know there are a number of ways, which is why I am looking for something that is fast and simple to use. I do not want a console window, some other form, etc. to appear. Just want to check if a key was pressed. The key (if pressed) should be pulled off the keyboard buffer.

View 3 RepliesI have an error while using a collection that has been stumping me for years.I wrote a class to allow users to write equations in a txt file using RPN (stack based notation).The class runs through a select statement while reading the equation and then ends up with a final number as the answer. I have a collection to place these objects in for easy reference. For whatever reason I get random object reference not set to an instance of an object errors when there is nothing in the program that would remove objects from the collection, kill objects, or change the collection in any way. It is possible for one thread to call the calculate function while another thread calls the CurrentValue property. I'm not sure if this could be causing the error, but once it happens I get an error every time the program enters that code until I run out of memory.

I need to develop a simple radio message logging app for use on a small military exercise.Now, the app is quite simple in itself, it needs to let me easily submit a new message report simply containing "from", "to", "message", "category" (and timedate, etc). Now the problem is that I have no experience with programming anything up against a database. I know basic SQL but I just dont know how to work with databases programatically. What kind of local SQL database solution works best with vb.net and Visual studio? Maybe I should use an Access database instead?When I click submit (on a new message report) how can I make an entry in a local SQL database of some sort? How can I load up a list of the message log entries already made in a listview or something?
