My program is calling the IExtractImage Interface to get the thumbnail view just like window explorer. It works perfectly in Window XP. But in Windows 7, the thumbnail is in proportional but not aligned center. I have working for few days on this but still not able to find a solution.
View 2 Repliesim new to the forums but I have some experience with vb.net.I want to create a windows application that has the ability to allow a user to "login" to the application via the internet and a website that the application serves, and lets the user interact with the program ie change settings etc. I have seen this done with many applications, almost like a web interface back end. Sorry I can't be more clear
I have searched all over the internet but can't find any examples or starting points. Maybe im using the wrong key words I dont know if there is a name for this type of thing.
what to download to face an interface like windows 07 in vb.net?
View 4 RepliesI am working on an application and I want the user to be able to enter commands into a textbox, and when they press enter, the command is printed in a rich text box, executed, and the output is printed. For instance: the user types move{file1}, {location} into the text box and this happens:
>command: move{file1}, {location}
>$ moving file1 to location
>job completed
How would I write lines to the rtb and execute commands when the enter key is pressed?
This works, partly.
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles command.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
RichTextBox2.Text = Environment.NewLine + command.Text
End If
End Sub
it erases everything in the textbox before adding the line... I would also like to be able to make a database of commands, maybe a .dll or something, so that when the user types in something, it checks that database to see if the command exists, if it does it executes, if not, error.

I am getting the following error:Unable to cast COM object of type 'TESTSERVERLib.TestClass' to interface type 'TESTSERVERLib.ITest'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{DAFB7D76-0158-452F-8FD0-FF97A683DEA3}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Whereas the same code works from an VB .Net Forms application.Can anyone explain why this code does'nt work in a VB .NET windows service.
I'm not sure that I'm doing the right thing here..I'm writing a user control that's supposed to be (fairly) generic. It's a bit like a modified email client specifically tailored to some of the internal things we do.
The view is composed of two main pieces, a message list and a viewer. I need this viewer to be interchangeable, so if someone wants a different style of view they can simply handle an event and change a property. My original idea was to just have an INoteViewer, but since I'm adding it to my form I also need to guarantee that this object is a Windows.Forms.Control of some sort.
Should I continue along these lines and maybe raise an ArgumentException if I can't cast it to INoteViewer, or should I go a different direction and create a class that inherits from Windows.Forms.Control?

View 3 RepliesI'm working on a design project where I have to use a Graphical User Interface that contains a drag and drop form. It consists of having a window dropped on a wall. Both of them are images to scale. I would like to know what kind of code I would have to use to show the x and y coordinates of one of the points of my window when dragged so when I drop it, I'm dropping in it on the desired coordinate of the wall.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if I could elicit some tips on how to procede with an interface design approach.That is. What is a good way to go about establishing a "work area" where one can have multiple "floating forms" in this area.Can you have a form which occupies the entire windows desk top and the other forms "float" in this space? the "floating" forms would need to interact with each other where pressing buttons etc on them would affect other forms on the "workspace") Or what would be a good way to start accomplishing that? Or is there a better way to get the same effect?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a .dll that contains a lot of basic functionality that a program can use. Currently i am trying to use interfaces to make a lot of this functionallity independend of the program using it but i hit a snag. The Basic idea is that a programmer will create his own object using the interface discribed in my .DLL file. Then implements those functions as he likes. He can then instanciate a controller (found in the same DLL) and sends his custom object implementing the interface to that Controller. The controller can then be started and will take over all the work. I do not know what type of object is send to the controller and idealy i want to program it in such a fashion that i shouldn't care as long as the object send implements that interface.In code I am trying to achieve the following: (quite simplyfied)
.Dll:
Code:
Public Interface MyInterface '<----Decleration of the interfaceFunction GetData() As Integer
Function SetData(Data As Integer)
end interface
[code]....
this propperly. I know that the second i set the interface adaptor in the Controller VS comes nagging that it can not be converted to a "MyInterface" Class. Obviously i am doing something wrong. I can change the datatype that the controller expects to the "MyController" type but that would completely ruin the whole idea of flexibillity. I am hoping someone sees what i am trying to do and can point out where i made the thinking error.
Is this where i would post a picture of my interface and get feedback on changes for easier use? If not is there someplace on this forum or any other forum to do this?
View 1 Repliesin the codebase i'm maintaining there is an old interface. Let's call it IFoo. It pretty much became obsolete and replaced with the Interface INewFoo with a change a few weeks ago, but for backwards-compatibility purposes, i wrote a wrapper class which implements INewFoo and takes an IFoo in the constructor.To clarify, consider the following code.
Public Interface IFoo
Sub DoStuff()
End Interface[code].....
For both interfaces, the implementations are loaded by scanning a few assemblies with StructureMap. Now, let's get to the bad things. Most implementations for the old interface were put into forms for reason i can neither understand nor change. Because those tend to be displayed and disposed, i have to create a new instance every time i use ObjectFactory.GetAllInstances(Of IFoo). Thats still no problem, but i'd like to register a INewFoo-Wrapper for each registered implementation of IFoo, so that i can just use ObjectFactory.GetAllInstances(of INewFoo) and get all implementations of IFoo AND INewFoo.I can't iterate through the implementations of IFoo and register a wrapper for each one because as far as i can see, you can just register those with instances.Wrong code below:
ObjectFactory.Configure(Sub(config)
config.Scan(Sub(scan)
For Each ass In assemblies[code].....
My question is: Is it possible to register a wrapper for each implementation of IFoo which always creates a new instance of the implementation before creating a new instance of the wrapper?
I want to declare a property as an interface collection of an interface, and I want to instanciate the explicit type later, in the constructor. Something like this.
Public Class LicenseFile
Implements ILicenseFile
Public Property Collection As IList(Of ILicenseFileDataNode)
[Code]....
In short, the question is "Why It Didn't work"? This is a simplified scenario, but It's easy to take a workarround, But I need understand the reason because It's fails.

I have an interface class (IUser) which is the interface of class User. Now, i want to put these into an IList but am confused as to how i should declare the IList:Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of IUser) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of IUser) = New List(Of User) Dim userList As IList(Of User) = New List(Of IUser) when instantiating should you always use its implementation; and when using it as a type use its interface?
And when im creating a new user should i use: Dim myUser as IUser = new User?
I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?
