[URL]notice that the tag topic count for C# is in excess of 8900 while the vb.net tag topic count is sitting at 1019. Does this mean that there is a shift towards c# as a .net language of choice. the only reason I decided to build some applications for work using c# was that I like curly braces - after all vb has the same language support as c#, doesn't it so there should be no advantage to choosing one over the other; other than curly braces;)

View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert a string to a single. Ive tried csng() directcast() and single.parse. The first two methods crash. Single.parse says input string was in incorrect format. The number is 777.7932 so should convert fine. Ive tried it this way:
'x = single.parse(pts(0), globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint)
how can i convert a string representation of a single data type that is read from a text file into its single data type. I checked control panel and globalization settings are set to english.

tell me difference between the Date and DateTime datatypes? Is DateTime newer than Date or is it just a synonym for Date? If the latter, why have both?
While testing some code i found something strange how vb.net (2005) is handling integer representation of true and false (or yes and no). Or at least i dont understand the reason for this.Im used to C or Java where 0 is false and everything else is true. To get to the point, here is the code: [code] And the out put is:X: 1 Y: 2x is truey is truex and y is false.If x and y or both individually true, why does it return false when you evaluate x And y.However, change the values of x and y to 4 and 5 you get this:X: 4 Y: 5x is truey is truex and y is trueJust another example, which seems to work how it should to me:X: 4 Y: 0x is truey is falsex and y is false.
View 7 RepliesI am working on this hangman project that has a graphical interface where the user has 2 options either guess the entire phrase or use a combo box to guess letters. I have the guess text box working but I can't for the life of me figure out why it is not working correctly with the combo box. The following is my entire code for the project. I have it setup to show me which phrase it randomly selected but when ever I pick a letter in that phrase it doesn't fill it in or anything. I'm thinking it is an issue with my loops.
I highlighted the section where the problem is occurring.

I want to make a hashtable of object references and I want a different object's reference to be the key. How can I do this in vb.net? In java (assuming I am using the default toString method and that add() takes a string as a key and an object ref as the value) this would be something like: hashtable.add(obj1.toString(), obj2)
I do not want to use a vb.net gethashcode() function because I want deep clones of objects to have different identifiers. A related question is what is the default toString in vb.net? How can I get a string that represents an object reference in vb.net?
I have used flash(.swf) animation & high quality graphical image there in my vb.net application. But problem is that sometimes when I click on menu it shows small line under it & take time to load it. It shows line under menu when load another forms though there is no line under that menu. I have 25 forms & every form has high quality image(image size is 1280*1024). Is there any way to get rid of this problem? Is there any way to make my application smooth though its high graphical & animated?

My form has FOUR comboboxes populated from text files. The text files are loaded into an array into their own background process once completed are added to the combox. Due to the sheer amount of items the loading causes a lag and as the combobox are on the main GUI thread a glitch appear for several seconds. I then had an idea of loading the initial form, showing another form which is made the topmost form with a progress bar (values derived from the count of items in the arrays populated from the text files).
When I added the progress bar any other label or image on the SAME form did not show until the progress bar had completed, how can I resolve this? When I use it in conjunction with the other form i.e. using the form with the progress bar to populate the other in the background graphical glitches appear (mad transparency effect). I have the code from the form with the progress bar below:-
'Load City information
'*********************
'Set form title
Me.Text = " Application loading city lookup information ...."
'Declare string array to store list of towns
Dim citylookup() As String
[Code] .....
Why I experience the glitch (assume it's because of refreshing the item, some kind of repaint needed)? Any alternative solution to prevent the user from using the form until all the comboboxes are populated?

I've been working on a graphical simulator application using GDI. GDI is terrible for rendering what simple graphics I need, too much flickering and definitely not efficient. From what I have been reading GDI and GDI+ are pretty much out of date and what I should be using is Direct2D. But my problem starts when I cannot find ANY reference material to even begin coding. I found some examples for C++, but my little knowledge of C++ prevents me from implementing and translating it to VB2010. I have found someone on VBForums through a Google search that says he is starting a tutorial for Direct2D for VB2010 but I have yet to see anything happen.
All I am rendering are small circular shapes used for simulating cell growth, I have no problem rendering 10-20 moving shapes at a time with a small amount bearable flickering, but any more the lag worsens exponentially and the application will use a ridiculous amount cpu. Overall I want to be able to display and render over 100 shapes at a time. So my question is... Where can I find some reference material regarding Direct3D for VB2010?
I am trying to log the contents of an object to a text file. If I do a debug.print of the object itself in the immediate window, it prints all of the values of the object's properties:
?mDb.DatabaseOptions
{Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions}
AnsiNullDefault: False
...
UserData: Nothing
However, I can't seem to access this as a string in code due to a type mismatch. I assumed I could get this information using the .ToString method, but all that returns is the object description with none of the properties or values:
?mDb.DatabaseOptions.ToString
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseOptions"

I have a legacy application that has an interactive graphical user interface, but also periodically checks for files in a directory and reacts to the files. I want to launch the application from a VB program, but not see the GUI (i.e., just let the file interface do it's thing). I really don't want to see the application running on the desktop at all (e.g., no windows, nothing on taskbar), the only evidence would be if I checked task manager I'd see it running.
Obviously this app would be ideally a service, but that's not where we are and I can't change it so I'm trying to simply not see the GUI.
I've seen the ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow and WindowStyle = hidden flags but they don't hide the GUI of the legacy app.
again launch the legacy app (actually an unmanaged C++/MFC app) from a VB managed admin app.
I have created a VB.NET program using windows forms. The program runs on a remote PC and displays information on a screen. The computer does not even have a mouse or keyboard connected to it. The program shows the information based on the file that is loaded.I want to be able to change this file remotely to another file that is already on the remote PC. I can't use a graphical remote desktop client as we have very limited bandwidth.So, my idea is to change the file using the command prompt.I'm not sure how to do this. Should I use something like this and load DosModule first:[code]How would I then read commands that is send to the program? I also only want one instance of the program running.
