I want to read the data from the following website:[URL]..I have attached an image the details, from which I wish to read the data: getting the details as mentioned above?
And also let me know how the data is supposed to be extracted every time when required.I will be using this XML data in VB10. This will simply allow me to create a widget that will show me the cricket score update that frequently.
I am trying to read text from a 3rd party application. I can create a catalogue of all possible letter variations. I can store every possible character I encounter as a small bmp, or perhaps as an array/matrix of pixel values. For example:
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
the letter "I" could be represented in a 10x5 array or matrix as above. Where x represents a wildcard pixel value, but O represents the expected/pre-defined RGB value.
I want to search specific areas of the screen, pixel by pixel where I expect to find the information I'm after. And convert this to usable information. What method gives the best trade-off for simplicity and speed? And how can I implement this method? How do I search for a bmp within a bmp at specific coordinates?
I am having a problem with my program that is desinged to read a 3rd party text file database. I posted previosuly about a problem inserting an item in a new row and the column was expectig a different data type. It appears that sometimes the column is being determined to be of decimal value, I dont understand why. the fields contain information such as
Col1
F123456
CLW-12321 etc....
So my column fills with
123456
12321 the letters just get chopped off
So I added MaxScanRows = 0 to my schema file and that took care of the problem
Except now several of my columns that contain Date Values are coming back
9/24/2010 00:00:00
without the setting MaxScanRows = 0
The date returned 9/24/2010
Here is the code for my schema ini file I am creating:
HTML
Dim fs As New FileStream("Schema.ini", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim writer As New StreamWriter(fs)
[CODE]............
I have been trying different settings hence the dimmed out lines
Here is the code to fill the datatable:
HTML
[CODE].............
I am thinking that without the MaxScanRows = 0 setting the datatype for Col1 is being incorrectly determined
I am not sure what is happening with other columns that contain date values. Apparently If i use MaxScan Rows=0 all columns are being pulled over as string value which creates numerous problems. If I dont use maxscanrows then all columns appear to be correct except Col21 MLSNUM which is being pulled in as a decimal. Can I change that in the schema file?
I am writing a small application that will display some info to my end user. I have another program that the end user will have open while running my appplication. What I am trying to do is have my application launch itself (and maintain positioning if other app location changes) and "tether" itself to the other application.Ideally the top left of my application would attach to the top right of the other application.I have tried for countless hours working with the GetWindowPos API but the values returned are either all zeros or it just doesn't work.I do a Try/Catch to see if the other app is running and I fetch the Handle of the process. This works fine. Then I try to get the positioning of this process and set my .Left property to the returned RECT's .Left property. no dice.This is Visual Basic 2005 ExpressOther application is a PuTTY window that is not a fullscreen app.

I have a self-hosted WCF service (VB) residing on a server. This service has a method, which I call from another application, that is supposed to kick off a .cmd file which calls a 3rd party program.
My WCF has used both the old Shell() command and the Process() object. Both can call the .cmd file (located on the server's local drive). The .cmd file looks like this:
CODE:
Now I know the .cmd file (saved as Letter.cmd) is firing because when I check the txt file after testing my app, the before/after statements have been written. However, the 3rd party application does not start.
Now the weird part -- if I double click the cmd file from explorer, the test statements are written to the text file AND the 3rd party application kicks off. Runs great.
I've double-checked the application and corresponding files to make sure NETWORK_SERVICE has permissions and my service is running under that account.

2. I have noticed there is "Interop.3rdPartyApp.dll" in the "release" folder. How do I use this? Where can I get more details on this file?

I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?
I am working on automation project for a 3rd party Application. This application has given APIs for various automation tasks (like, Menu automation, toolbar automation, etc)
My code is in VB.NET.
Automation could be made in client-server mode, my code being client, this 3rd party App being server. When I create an instance of 3rd party App ( using CreateObject(<progID>), it brings up its own GUI Framework.
I have my own GUI Framework with customised menu items as well as my some more automation code.
At present, both the GUI frameworks are floating in a dis-jointed and independent manner. I would like to contain the 3rd party GUI Framework within my own GUI framework whenever it is moved around.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to create an vb.net application to compress files, without using a 3rd party app. If yes, can you please point me in the right direction, give me some tips, tutorials or sample code?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create an interface between a third party application which can make use of C/C++ DLLs, but no interface directly to .NET. What I was hoping to accomplish (not sure if possible though), is create a very basic C++ DLL (not .NET), which the third party application would call directly. This DLL would contain a basic method such as "DoSomething()". Somehow, from my .NET application, I want to "listen" to this DLL and "takeover" the DoSomething() method, and then returning the result back to the DLL, which will in turn return the result back to the calling third party application.
I don't even know if this is possible because I'm sure I would somehow have to get a hold of the memory space of the DLL as initiated by the third party application. Also, it seems that creating a managed DLL does not work, based on feedback from other individuals who have tried this.
I would like to know if its possible for my vb.net app to monitor a 3rd party application that it starts. I'd like it to check every 0.5 seconds to see if the child app has a dialog box visible with a specific text string caption. If it does then I want to close my app but if isn't yet visible, keep looping until it is. I'm asking because the 3rd party app has "no event firing when the application starts to load and then displays the dialog so there is no way for the 3rd party app to report back" to my vb.net app when this is loaded.
This came from the Technical Support from the 3rd party app after I asked if using waitforinputidle() in my app would allow me to detect when their app finishes loading and enters an idle state (sadly not). However they have suggested that it might be possible to monitor their app for a specific dialog caption and then close my app but this is beyond my novice understanding just now. How to go about such a process?
I was amazed with how little documentation or examples are out there for checking the pagerank for a website using vb.net . I was hoping that someone might have some example code or other resources regarding how to do this (using toolbarqueries.google.com - not by scraping data from a 3rd party website).
