Is there a command or couple of code lines that will pause the running program for one or two seconds?
I have a program that checks the system time every 250milliseconds and I need to skip checking it three times the first time it comes back with ":00" seconds from the system clock.
Or another option would be to reset the timer to 1000 and then back to 250...
1) Why the pause button and also the pause command does not exist in VB 2010 Express?
2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.
Is there any advantage to using the VB2010 express version versus the VB2008 express version? Can they be installed side by side or will VB2010 express replace VB2008? I have no issues with the 2008 version, so I don't know if installing the 2010 version would be of any advantage.

I am trying to make a start and pause button (and hence continue) to start, pause, and continue my program. The start button works but the pause button does not. Can someone look at my code and see what the pause button needs to do to pause the program? I am using VB 2005. Here is my code.

I created a windows form in VB 2010 and I am trying to view it in 2008, but I get the error message "The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened".
Is there anyway I can re-save the 2010 project(similar to Microsoft word) in order to be able to open in older version?
How to convert VB2010 Express proj to VB2008
View 6 Replies(pardon me for re-using someone else's wording - but it seems this question comes up in each NEW version of the IDE) Does anyone know how to disable VB autosave? I like to open a working solution/project, mess around with it, and if I cant get it working, I like to exit without saving so that the original working version is left.
But silly VB 2010 autosaves changes, therefore stuffing up, a once working solution/project. I can understand autosaving whilst working though a large solution, but I prefer to click save once I have accomplished a routine, in the solution/project.

I use windows Vista.I had been working intensly on a new program all day today and pretty much all day yesterday. I was almost finished.Then my computer crashed. I rebooted.When I came back into Visual Basic 2010 express, I expected that somewhere I would see my files. Besides... I HAD BEEN SAVING THE FILES ALL DAY LONG USING CONTROL+S on my keyboard. The little * symbol at the top of each file would go away. I assumed that meant it was actually saving my work as I went along. I did not, however, actually go to file->SAVE at any point along the way.
After coming back into VB2010 express, no autorecover dialog appeared. I looked for my project in the list, and it wasn't there. I looked at "recent files" and "recent projects" and found nothing. Finally I searched my whole hard drive for my project, and found only one EMPTY directory located at:
C:UsersDellLaptopDocumentsVisual Studio 2010Backup Files, which matched the name of my project I had spent the last two days working on.

My problem is that I have a textbox that is filled with a line of data from an attached barcode scanner. I want to make it so when something is scanned into this box, another function is triggered (it clears the textbox and commits the data to a CSV file, so the user can scan another barcode). I was using a .TextChanged function so that when the text was changed in this textbox, it would commit it then, however the problem with this approach is that if the serial number is 77G8DS, then it will commit 7,7,G,8,D and S individually, instead of an entire string.
View 1 RepliesI am new to SQLSever, Visual Studio and Visual Basic. I have read through Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 by Michael Halvorson and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 by Lars Powers and Mike Snell. These books mention the ability to use SQLServer as the DB but I am not clear on the process. I am not knew to programming an have had training in OO programming but have never done any OO programing professionally. So, you can assume I am new to OO programing.
I have created an SQL DB using the Server Explorer in VS, and created a Windows form with Labels, TextBoxes, and ComboBoxes for the application's user to add the demographic information about a new employee. I created a new query with the Query builder that is in the Employee table of the DB which contains all the field for the record for inserting. I have a few questions to understand the process for inserting into the DB.
The DB fields are defined as numeric(6, 0), nurmeric(5, 2), and char(30) for some examples.
The maxlength on the form windows are in sync with the maxlength of the DB for the various fields.
1. What is the process to update the DB with the fields from the form?
2. Do I need to declare and set the results from the form first? If so, how do I call the function (query) that I created in the Employee table.
3. The emp_num I would like to be a dynamically incrementing number starting from 1000. How do I make this a dynamic? The emp_num is also the key on the Employee table.
4. I have a decimal field on the Employee table to hold emp_rate (pay rate). Does the user enter the decimal on the Form or is this resolved by SQL to take the 7 numbers and insert the decimal beause of the table's field definition?

So if I don't have the sleep function then oasicer hasn't loaded and it says it's finished straight away, but if I call a 5s sleep then it crashes, and not for just 5 sec. Is there a replacement for this line? Something that would just delay going to the while loop?
I am not sure how to make my program pause in the middle of execution, waiting for a certain period of time to pass BEFORE the next lines execute. I have already used System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(int) but this pauses the waits but still executes the subsequent code. If I were to:Private Sub Hello()System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(int)MessageBox.Show("Hello")End Sub* Time in milliseconds.This would NOT stop the execution of the MessageBox for int seconds, the program continues to run???How would I pause the code execution where I want, and for the time I want?
