I have implemented a system where the are 18 text boxes (9 for questions, 9 for answers) and it can be customised but I want the questions to be able to be 'saved's since it in another form the if I give them special names when I close the form and open it again it has lost the values.

View 2 RepliesI want my program to work for a certain period of time, may be one month.. two month..
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to code, so that if your program freezes over a period of time (5sec), it just stops trying to do it, and goto something else.
"On ERROR" wont work, since its not a error. "Try" doesnt work ether.
Its because I'm am programming something that can login to a router thought telnet, and sometimes the telnet ActiveX doesn't read the buffer or the line proberly, so when the .GetLine() func is called, it freezes. And i want away to goto another point if it keeps freezing for more than 5secounds. The telnet ActiveX that, I am using is Dimac w3sock.

I am developing an application that prompts an user for doing certain tasks in a form. What i want is that a certain message should be popped for a certain amount of time and then close (probably say 2 seconds or so). I tried doing it with message boxes but they do not close on their own as they are designed to be modal (to wait for user command ). i do not want to display the text in a textbox of listbox. Is there a certain way i could do this.
View 4 RepliesI have looked through couple of threads about making the trial application to be expired within certain time. Most of the advice is to set a timer and store it in somewhere in the system with encrytion. Then later decrypt and compare with the date installed in the system.
View 12 RepliesI know about DateDiff and TimeSpan. I am doing a project. I save a date in the registry. Now, I have to test this date against today's date and calculate the differences in minutes, hours, days, months, weeks and years.
I save the date in the registry like this:
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.SetValue("Date", [Date])
I then made a sub to calculate the differences:
Private Sub Calculate()
Try
Dim DateGen As Date
DateGen = CType([Date], Date)
Select Case TimePeriod
[Code] .....
As you can see, based on the difference between these dates ( today's date and the registry date ), a sub gets called and the program continues. Unfortunately, the minutes and hours never calls the RandomAlpha sub. How can I calculate the difference in minutes, hours etc.????

View 19 RepliesI have finally made the switch VB.net and I am using VS2010 .NET 4.0 with WinForms. I want to generate a real time 2D plot with autoscaling and update the graphics/picturebox/form/<insert control here> from another thread so when I click a menu the device doesn't halt. The graphics are intensive in that a function is continually reading from hardware and drawing the data. I have been able to do this in VB6 (minus the multithreading) with GDI API and it ran great. Now in VB.NET GDI+ is used which is extremely slow. So my questions are as follows:
1) Should I go back to GDI commands or will this be outdated soon.
2) Should I use Direct2D, if so do I need to switch to WPF and are there any WinForm examples
3) Best approach to multithread this, if I double buffer can I have the GUI thread periodically read the buffer and display it. How can I tell the drawing thread to post an update and the UI thread displays it when it has the chance, similar to using InvalidateRect()

View 1 RepliesCurrently I have not found a way to generate an event when a user clicks on a line that is drawn in my workspace area. The line that is drawn is created by calling the function e.Graphics.Drawline(Connector,X1,Y1,X2,Y2), where Connector is a System.Drawing.Pen object and X1,Y1,X2,Y2 are integer coordinates of the two points to draw the line between. I have not found any events such as Click that are associated with the line that I can use. Do I need to create a custom event for these lines if so how do I go about this?
