InitializeComponent Keeps Getting Overwritten

Feb 7, 2011

I have some conditionals in my InitializeComponent which affect the layout based on some variables. Unfortunately, it seems like whenever I rebuild my application, this code is reverted back to its previous state. Is this code being regenerated based on the Designer interface? Is there a way to prevent it from doing this?

VS 2010 Graphics Being Overwritten?

May 16, 2012

I've rendered a simple rectangle for the background and a bunch of star polygons randomly placed across the form. On the form is a picturebox component which I can move around, but for some reason it overwrites the background and stars when it passes over them. Could someone please explain what is going on there? I've tried performing searches, but have been unsuccessful in finding anything useful.

Table In Access2007 DB Gets Overwritten When Updated?

Nov 6, 2011

I'm trying to access 2 tables within the same DB in Access 2007, but I have a problem when saving information to one of the tables, I can do it with one table but when I try to save the information to the second table the data gets overwritten, not sure why, because I use the same procedure for both of them, just changing the variables to avoid mixed data, this is the code that I use to connect with the DB and fill the DataSet:

Try
dbProvider = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
dbSource = "Data Source=.\Almacen.accdb;Jet OleDB:Database Password=Slackware"

[code].....

Again, it works fine when saving info to one table, but using the exact same procedure (with different variables) saves the new data but overwrites the previous information

File I/O And Registry :: Open / Read Binary File / Care To Check Code?

Jun 14, 2009

I've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.

Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.

File I/O - Check Zip File Open

Feb 16, 2010

I have a routine that uses windows compression to zip a file. It uses shell32. Rather than maintaining a five second timer for each file, I would like to check to see if the file is closed, not locked, etc., before moving on to the next step in my program. I've searched, and while I can try to open text files, zip files are not text files. I tried renaming the file, but it seems this is actually slowed while files are being added. [Code]

VB 3.5 Check If File Is In Use

Jul 3, 2009

I have an update program that is completely independent of my main application. I run the update.exe to update the app.exe. To check to see if the file is in use, I move it to another file and catch an error if it is in use. If no problems occur I rename it back. At least that was my plan.

Main program: app.exe
Update program: update.exe

This program is used over the network without any services running. So, the users is quite literally running the exe over the network on their machine. I need to update the app.exe when the update.exe has run. To check to see if the app.exe was still in use I was wrapping the following in a try/catch to see if it failed:

IO.File.Move(upddir & "app.exe", upddir & "app.exe.tst")
IO.File.Move(upddir & "app.exe.tst", upddir & "app.exe")

The funny thing is, even if the app.exe is running, the move can rename it to the app.exe.tst without any error. I can even continue on in the application without any errors. I thought I was out of my mind, so I had another programmer look at this and he verified what I said above. So, we tried this wrapped in a try catch: [Code] I put the fileshare as none that, at least I thought it would, show that there was someone in the file. It still continued without any error. Anyone know why I can rename a file in use? Also, is there a better way to do this than what I am doing now?

Check If A File Is Modified?

Jan 15, 2009

scenario:

-folder x resides on server a, server b ,server c

-x contains same set of files in a,b,c

whenever any file gets modified in a, it should get also modified in b and c as well

similarly b->a,c and c->a,b

my idea of implementation is -when ever any file is modified on a server, compare timestamps and force copy the modified in the other two How should i go for implementing it?

1)how to check if a file is modified

2)how often this check should be done and how this should be implemented should a service be running to perform thi check i want to do this using .NET?
