load and unload form just like vb6 in vs 2005 using vb.net. I'm trying this code.
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Me.Close()
[Code]....
but when i click the button, nothing happened..
I'm just wondering, what is the best way to load and unload forms with visual studio 2005. In VB6, I used to use the following at a button click, for example.

View 3 RepliesI am calling a Fortran DLL from Vb.Net. I am declaring this in the class and then I am calling the DLL. I made this Fortran DLL from a Fortran Exe code. If I just use the exe code of the Fortran program I get different values than if I use Fortran DLL. First I thought may be there is a delay, so I used Sleep() before the end of the loop. But this does not change the values I am getting. I don;t understand why the results are different in exe and DLL, since I made DLL using the same exe code. I am not sure if the DLL is completely exited before it called again. Below is the code (partial).

I am working on a project where I have to load assemblies (lets call them tasks) at runtime, run the task and then be able to kill off the whole assembly so that the dll can be replaced without interrupting the main application.There are many of these tasks running within the main application,some run sequentially and some run in parallel.Occasionally one or to of these tasks need to be updated and then re-added to the queue. Currently we are stopping the entire application and interrupting the other tasks at whatever stage they are at, which is not ideal.I have figured out that I will have to load each assembly into a separate AppDomain, but loading the assemblies in those domains is proving difficult, especially when I need to actually run the tasks and receive events from them.I have been looking into this problem for a couple of days and have still not managed to get a working proof-of-concept.
I have an Interface for the tasks which includes a 'run' and 'kill' method (subs) and a 'taskstep','complete' and 'killed' event.'taskstep' returns an object to be cached later, 'complete' fires when the whole task is done and 'killed' fires when it is ready to be unloaded.There should also be a timeout on the whole process of two hours and a timeout of 2 minutes on the killed event in case it gets stuck, at which point I would like to be able to unload it, forcing any threads to terminate (which is what 'kill' should do anyway).Each assembly may contain several tasks, all of which should loadable be unloadable.I have no problems loading these tasks as 'plugins' but am lost when trying to both use them and unload them. If I have to create some elaborate wrapper then so be it but is what I need even possible? I have tried inheriting from MarshalByRefObject but I do not even know the assembly fullname unless I load it first, which then locks the file. I have tried loading from a byte array of the assembly. This means that the file is not locked but a copy of it remains in the current appdomain. This will become problematic over the following months / years![code]
Followup to a previous post: It's been determined that Windows Device Drivers cannot be written in VB.NET; that's being dealt with separately.
What I'm interested to know here is if there's a DotNET Framework facility for adding/removing/managing device drivers; for example, can I build a VB.NET application to list loaded drivers, or drivers attached to a specific device, then load or unload those drivers as needed? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.
I have an application in which i need to load a specific keyboard layout only when application is running and a text box (Textbox1) is under focus. I don't have an idea to load a specific keyboarded in VB.NET via programming.
View 1 RepliesNot sure if this is the correct place for this postWhat I am trying to do is update dll's in my application.Using VB with dotnet 2 (Visual Studio 2010)The Project has a number of Dll's one of each department i.e. Sales is sales.dll... Development is development.dll etc....Each dll has classes/User controls which is used and dispose depending on the section within the application.Once work has been completed with a dll, it put in the deployment area, currently another is program launching checks the file verison and updates as required, before the main application lauches, this works. The exe hasn't needed updated for a long time as all the changes are in the dlls.
What i have been looking at is update method for the dll's dymanically, when not in use, when the dll called into use or disposed of.I have looking at LoadLibrary/FreeLibrary and application.domain. I have been reading loads and tried out some of the examples, with a modified to suit. I am just not getting it.
I'm in the process of trying to create a new appdomain to load plugin dll's, then unload the new appdomain so I can update the plugin dll's without having to exit the main application. There are many, many examples out there and it looks like it should be fairly straightforward, however I'm having a problem where the main application is loading the plugin dll's along with the new appdomain. Of course this is a problem because I cannot overwrite the plugin dll's if they live in the main appdomain. Based on the examples I've seen the code below should only load the plugin dll into the new appdomain, however for some reason it also loads into the main appdomain.
Dim oDomain As AppDomain = Nothing
Dim oSetup As New System.AppDomainSetup()
With oSetup

The IDPAPlugin interface is in a seperate project that both the plugin dll and the main application reference.
How can I load a form and allow it to run it's code in the form load but keep it not visible. I want it to do what it needs to but but not display.
View 3 RepliesOur company has an app that load their components by System.Reflection.Load (By the way, an awesome technique )But, we start to monitorate the application and detect a extrange grow up of memory (actually when our application still all day on air, their allocate memory on task manager is 200 MB plus memory) And all of our components (60 plus DLLs) is load by this technique.My doubt is how to deallocate this assemblies or how the best way to deallocate any assemblies loaded by the System.Reflection.Assemblie.Load method?

View 2 RepliesI like to know how to unload a single form in vb.net.I tired form.showdialog() and form=nothing,but this is not working.
View 5 RepliesI have a form that I use to get the user to input such as a username and password in order to make a network connection. This connection can be disconnected and reconnected as many times as neccessary whilst the application continues to run.
I obviously, therefore, need the form's text boxes, combo boxes etc to reset to their blank versions every time that the form is shown.
In VB6 this was easy; you just unload the form which completely removed the form from memory and thus the next time you showed it it was reset to it's blank state. In VB 2005, however, there is no unload so we have to use Close. I have done this and assumed that it would function in the same was that unload did in VB6.
The problem is that when I close the form using the form.close event handler the form disappears perfectly but when the form.show/showdialog is used the old form data still remains telling me that the form hasn't actually been unloaded but rather appears to have just been hidden.

aside from the difference mentioned below, what are other difference the two events might have and how will affect the application as a whole? What is more preferred to use and why?

if you will notice, the sub still needs to scan all forms before it display the form, please help to reconstruct the code so that I will not use the "for next" for in types, since assembly and formname are already given/provided.
