i have a need for my vb.net app to perform methods at regular intervals. it needs to check sql tables and react to data found, send email and sms messages. i've tried using a loop but this only allows me to perform 1 check ie checking sql tables. the app needs to execute a method every x minutes. i tried using system threading but i got errors.
View 1 RepliesI want to upload data at regular intervals, for that I used windows service with timer. Now problem is when I start my service. Its showing System.IO.IOException error.
View 8 RepliesI want to generate random numbers at regular time intervals. I am putting the random generation in a loop which works when a button is clicked. But since the Timer itself is a control, I don't know how to do it. I tried putting the timer in a module so I can access it inside the form.
But the following error occurs:
"Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".
When I doubleclick the timer icon the code appears as follows.
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
End Sub
I need to split the Filepath in my Windoes Forms pplication in order to get the correct part of 'Import Project' file.

Hello,
I'm writing a windows service and initially tried just using a regular System.Windows.Forms.Timer, but never saw it's tick event get fired in my debugger. From doing some research, it appeared that I needed to use the S ystem.Timers.Timer control instead. In order to make debugging easy, I set my timer interval to a really short value 1000 ms. I'm seeing some rather strange behavior, though. It appears that my timer control is creating multiple threads within my application, or is this just a bug in my debugger? I have an event handler for the Elapsed event like so:

I have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database. I am using a second form to add new items to this list directly into the database.When the second form closes I want to call the sub in my first form to refresh the list from the database.
How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2

So I've divided them into sub routines and call them when I need them but the coding is getting so long that it's becoming confusing to keep up with each sub.
Is it possible to place the sub routines into an independent file like a class and then call them from the file when I need them so I can free up some space to code?

Basically i am making a software that will be interacting with a database (sql).Now what i wanted is a loop which after every 30 minutes, connects to the database finds some info and executes a bunch of statements.For the sake of testing i have made the timer tick at 1 second, and display a record in a database in a label continuously just to see if it works (i will later make the tick 30 min)Now this is what i have tried till now , it prints the record in database perfectly after 5 seconds, but after that just fails.[code]I want to infinitely make a loop in which after every 30 minutes has passed it would connect to the database get a record and then use the value of that record to perform some operations. And this has to be done in the background.

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?

Note that I'm aware of other yield in vb.net questions here on SO. I'm playing around with Caliburn lately. Bunch of great stuff there, including co-routines implementation.
Most of the work I'm doing is C# based, but now I'm also creating an architecture guideline for a VB.NET only shop, based on Rob's small MVVM framework.Everything looks very well except using co-routines from VB. Since VB 10 is used, we can try something like Bill McCarthy's suggestion:

It definitely isn't as elegant as C# version, but it looks to be doable. We'll see if there are any problems with this. If anyone has better idea, I'm all ears.

View 9 RepliesThis will no doubt sound like a pretty dumb question to some, but, despite having written many useful single-thread apps over the years, I don't understand enough about threading yet.
Consider this scenario:
There are four modules, each on its own thread, that can happily run concurrently most of the time. However, each module occasionally causes a few seconds' intensive disk activity (by design) and it would be more efficient (faster, less fragmentation) if only one module at a time wrote to the same physical drive.
It would be useful to have something like a baton that modules within a given scope can pass around, perhaps dependent on their respective priority levels.
I'm using PInvoke to access some routines from a third party library, however i'm getting SEHExceptions when trying to use callbacks defined for one particular method. The callbacks are used to provide feedback from other unmanaged methods within the third party library, passing a string back to the calling application containing a status message.

I am trying to retrieve all processes running on a machine with the usual information; process id, name and the memory usage. I am trying to export it all under one xml file, however to get all the information I had to use 2 separate methods. To get the process id, name and session id (process owner) I used the following code along with a dictionary and a class, using a .net library called Cassia.
Using server As ITerminalServer = manager.GetRemoteServer("Spartacus")
server.Open()
For Each process As ITerminalServicesProcess In server.GetProcesses()
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(process.ProcessId) Then
dictprocess.Add(process.ProcessId, New Processes(process.ProcessId, process.ProcessName, process.SessionId))
[Code] .....
As you can see the unique id (process id) is the same in each xml. Is there any way I can write the xml so that the information from both methods can be under one tag?
