I have a VB.NET application that executes a test when the user clicks a "Start" button. The application communicates back and forth with a USB device and eventually stops when the USB device sends back a specific trigger, or if the user chooses to cancel the test. I would like to measure the time elapsed during each test and display it to the screen.The program is significantly complex and I have several timers that control sampling rate, the frequency of the output, the frequency of signals in a calibration method, etc.I tried two approaches so far, both of which led to invalid time measurements. I say they're invalid because I used several stopwatches I know to be accurate in addition to the system clock (the clock with a second hand that pops up when you double click the time in the bottom right hand corner of Windows XP) to measure the actual time of each test. Consistently, my program will indicate more time has passed than actually has.I tried simply dividing the number of samples I took by the the sampling frequency. I got back a time that was about 1.33 times greater than the actual time. This ratio would change with different frequencies, and even with the same frequency from day to day.
I tried using the DateTimePicker in my main form to measure the time passage. At the start of the test I'd record the start time, startTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, at the end of the test I'd record the end time, endTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, and then I'd set the text of a label equal to their difference, TestDurationLabel.text = (endTime - startTime).ToString. I initialized startTime and endTime as Dates. I get back a time that is about 1.2 times greater than the actual time.
I have a table that has two time columns. One is a login time one is a logout time. I would like to be able to filter between the two, basically greater than the minimum selected and less than the maximum selected. I am using a monthly calendar to get me the spans of time but it is not working correctly. From there I would like to add the 4 columns in the table to a gridview. The date in the DB is the in following format:
2/23/2010 11:17:01 AM
I know how to get single elements from the table, or a column but not entire rows.
So i guess I have 2 problems, getting the filter for the SQL correct then binding the results to a table.
Here is my code so far:
Dim cn As OleDbConnection Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim str As String
[Code]....
SLaks has answered most of my question, one problem remains. I need to figure out how to make it so the monthcalendar can select just one day and return that days values. Seems like the time is an issue since it is in the DB as stated above. Just comparing the dates is not enough.
I need a start date, a Total time passed until now, an average time per step, and a estimated time to finished. How can I do that? Also, I can close the application and when start up again I want to get the time counters as the last time, so How can I store that data is normal txt file (I say txt to take advantage of the ini app file which is a txt).
I like to make an console application to measure the time it takes to fully load a web page, what's the best approach to do that? The purpose of this small app is to monitor some pages in a website, in a predetermined interval, in order to be able to know beforehand if something is going wrong with the webserver or the database server. It would be nice to be able to measure the time it takes to fully load the the page (images, css, javascript, etc). I have some code but I is not measuring the fully page.
Dim sw As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest) sw.Start() Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) sw.Stop() Dim timeToLoad As TimeSpan = sw.Elapsed
I am currently working on a program that takes Visual Basic data in the form of a text file, and then stores this data in C++. Some of the data from Visual Basic is of the type Decimal. C++ has no built in type equivalent to decimal. I don't want to use double because there is a possible loss of significant figures if the numbers are large enough.One option is write my own decimal class.
I'm working on a custom scroll bar. When dragging the slider, things work smoothing with what I have... that is if the users movements are smooth and slow-ish. When moving quickly the mouse move event doesn't seem to fire as accurately as I had hoped.. I attempted using the up and down buttons enter event for re positioning or "resetting" the slider whenragging is activated but still those events don't even fire when the mouse move event is firing. So I believe I hit a barrier of my .Net knowledge and hope someone here knows a way around this little issue.

I have a button that will run a video file in the Windows media player box, first up, is there a way for that video to display full screen on a secondary monitor?My plan was to have a large form that spread across the two screens with the control buttons on one side and the video on the other, is there an easier way to do this? Otherwise I think I might have to look at making an individual form for each screen and then somehow getting the buttons on say form1 to do the work on form2. Again is this hard to do?
I am trying to find a way to show a large amount of data that spans across multiple forms and text boxes. I am making a somewhat summery of the input strings.
How to insert a point along the path without changing its pattern?
and how to get a nearest point along the path with a given point? or
get a on-path-point with a given percentage of the length of the path, e.g.: 3/4 of Path(new point(){(0,0),(2,4)}) = (1.5,3) (like Adobe Flash, the object can follow a path to move.)
I have tried to measure length with Graphicspath.flatten, but it takes time and not accurate enough. Is there a formula to do that?
I have a TCP connection set up and I know how much data is coming in etc. I was wondering if there was a direct way to measure the current bit rate or a best practice to measure it accurately, say over a couple of seconds?
get sample code by using NI-6009 to measure voltage(Vrms) and Curent (Irms) . Before this i'm trying to make code with using example in National Instrument VB2010.But i still can't display the right values of voltage(Vrms) and Current (Irms) from waveform that I used.The data comes from data acquisition grid in source array i used to plot sinus waveform.But the problem is I don't know how to measure voltage(Vrms) and Curent (Irms) from that waveform. I am also don't know how to start programming between NI-6009 DAQ Card and Visual Basic 2010 Express.
As I've noted in another thread I'm trying to put together a secured kiosk app for access to our college library catalogue.I've managed to do most of the stuff with little fuss but, given that I'm not much of a programmer, I'm having a bit of trouble with certain features I'd like to incorporate.One of them is that I'd like the webbrowser control to return to the components designated homepage after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Well an alternative way is by just showing the connection speed which is:
Dim AllNetConn() As NetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces Dim IntConnSpeed As Integer = AllNetConn(0).Speed / 1024 Dim StrConnSpeed As String = IntConnSpeed & " Kbps"
[Code]....
But i need something more specific like the download/upload speed.. I know that i could make my program download a file with the size of 100kb and measure how much time it took to download but i dont know how to measure the time...
I'm using VB.NET to connect to and parse data from an Analysis Services database.
The problem I'm having is while trying to find all Measure Groups that are related to a given Dimension. I've been digging through the API and it doesn't seem that Dimensions have any information on Measure Groups at all, but Measure Groups can contain Dimensions.
This makes it easy if I want to get a list of related Dimensions given a Measure Group(measureGroup.Dimensions), but what I'm looking for is the opposite.
The only thing I can think of is to loop through all the Measure Groups within the Cube and check if it contains a reference to the Dimension in question[code]...
All these method of mesuring the string returns different values for the width, and they are all the wrong value They all mesure the narrow caracteres as "i" as being narrower then they realy are and the wide caractere as "W" as wider than they realy are What would the proper way to draw and/or mesure a string to get the right position on the screen where the text ends

I need to read 10 images in 1 folder and do feature extraction onto 10 images.Does anyone can suggest any good edge detection by using C++ / VB.Net / C# language? After I can successfully detect the edge and write a new image file (in this case is generate 10 new edge detection filtered images, only black and white line image) within the same folder.Then lastly, I do not know any distance measurement able to calculate distance between each edge detection filtered-images (not the original image) and show the result in graph.How can read those images back and get the data of the edge?Keywords are edge detection and distance measurement.
I'm trying to measure the performance of seven sorting algorithms in a single VB 2008 program. I've tried using a Timer componend, the Stopwatch, and DateTime.Ticks but nothing works. The following simple code produces a result of about 500 (milliseconds), which is correct, but when I change 500 to 1000, I get a ridiculous result like 0 or 8.
I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?
The idea with this form is to add the futures which is calculated when the button is pushed but I need the list to update every time and show the values each time to which the previous value is added to the new calculation, e.g. of what it should look like in listbox:
Year 1: $1,290.93 Year 2: $2,724.32 Year 3: $4,350.76 etc....
I have been working on this a while and I am at a standstill, I was given a function to clear the form everytime it calculates but I don't know how to implement it, I am new to VB. Here is what I have so far:
Public Class frmFutureValue Private Sub btnCalculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click
