Limitations Of Excel Resize Method
Jul 9, 2010
I am loading a considerable amount of data from SQL into Excel. For specific reasons, I need to use the Resize method with an array when loading data to Excel.I have found a condition where the size of a cell/row causes the Resize method to crash. I have not found any doco anywhere that shows a Resize limit. My array is OK. My code is OK. But, the data for one row is very large - one field that I am trying to load to a cell has 1097 characters. I have breakpointed the code to assure that this one is the culprit.[code]Does anyone know of any size limits when using Resize. The total number of bytes being written to the row is 1402.Anyone know limits on length for Resize or "overrides" to handle this?

I have this program that uses OLEDB connection to import excel file to data table then use it in other functions.Now I have this question: What are the possible limitations of OLEDB when it reads the Excel file. The File is on xls format, and I want to know if there is such limitations(for example: It has limitation in reading value on a cell).

I use vb.net 2008 to create a desktop application.I have a form that is resized according to the size/location of the app bar (where the start button is)I have a toolbar at the top, a status bar at the bottom of the form and a grid in the middle of the form I want the size of the grid to be the maximum possible on my form.if and when the user resize his application bar (or move it from the bottom to one of the sides) my form size should change according to the new working area size:
H = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height
W = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width
is there a single event that I can use ? currently I called my resize function in several form events: Activated, ClientSizeChanged, Load,Paint,LocationChanged,RegionChanged.And still it is not working correctly! Resize the app bar size or move it form does not change !
If I minimize it and then display it again or click it - it changes size

I have a project that has a need to display a Excel file in second window, but because other controls are needed, simply launching excel is not sufficient. Right now I do not know if the target machines have excel installed but I know with certainty that if they do it would be 2010, is there any method or library that allows you frame your own form around an excel window?

I am using the WebBrowser control in a windows form C# project and wanted to know if there are any limitations of how many instances of such application you can have running at the same time. (in other words does MSFT enforce any limitations other than physical machine limits - CPU/memory etc)

For my next project i'll have to create a TCP or UDP server based application. I know how to program a server but i am interested on the limitations of such servers.
how many connections a server may be able to handle at the same time. I suspect that this limitation is based on the type of transfer and how much data or how often it is send to the server.
I also read somewhere that a windows program is limited to 25 threads (connections) per core so if i would have a quad core i can have a maximum of 99 connections granted that the server itself is also a thread. Is that correct?
If the above is correct i wonder how to handle let's say 200 users at the same time. There must be some form / way to handle bigger request loads.

As an OSS library author, I've always tried to make my stuff CLS compliant. But MS doesn't make this easy. They often put you in catch-22 situations, such as the following:You cannot have a protected variable differing only in case from the public property.You cannot have protected or public variables starting in an underscore or 'm_'. If you want to make a class really extensible, you often need to have protected variables matching public properties. Your least ugly exit is to add a suffix to the variable, like "Var" or "Value". That's nasty and unacceptable to me. I like clean code.I know of no .NET languages that don't support variables starting in an underscore, and I've used them in many places where the variable needs to be visible to subclasses.
I'm tired of the warnings, and I'm planning on turning off CLS compliance at the assembly level on my 30+ C# libraries.Are there any actual problems with turning off CLS compliance on libraries? Any real problems with doing this? Microsoft has issued unheedable guidance on software for decades, with less that 5% of it being worth the bytes it was encoded in. I can't find any evidence that this best practice has any real effect on anything. But, to be careful, I'm checking. And no, this is not a duplicate of the inverse of this question: Any reason not to mark a DLL as CLSCompliant?I'm looking for actual results and effects here, not the advice of a MS intern. For example, if IronPython, IronRuby, or F# are unable to read or write a variable starting with an underscore, that's an effect, although it would only cause a problem for users subclassing certain objects. If a language or tool is completely unable to use an assembly unless it is marked CLS compliant, now that's a big deal.

How to determine when floating point limitations will cause errors in your calculations. For example the following code.
CalculateTotalTax = function (TaxRate, TaxFreePrice) {
return ((parseFloat(TaxFreePrice) / 100) * parseFloat(TaxRate)).toFixed(4);
};
I have been unable to input any two values that have caused for me an incorrect result for this method. If I remove the toFixed(4) I can infact see where the calculations start to lose accuracy (somewhere around the 6th decimal place). Having said that though, my understanding of floats is that even small numbers can sometimes fail to be represented or have I misunderstood and can 4 decimal places (for example) always be represented accurately.
MSDN explains floats as such... This means they cannot hold an exact representation of any quantity that is not a binary fraction (of the form k / (2 ^ n) where k and n are integers). Now I assume this applies to all floats (inlcuding those used in javascript). How can one determine if any specific method will be vulnerable to errors in floating point operations, at what precision will those errors materialize and what inputs will be required to produce those errors?

Im struggling on how to open an excel workbook without one of two problems.
1. After the first workbook is opened and I close the workbook, if another is opened the worksheet area is "transparent", as in, you can see the desktop or any open app behind excel.
2. Closing excel and opening another workbook after X times (4+?) via the vb.net app I use causes the computer to reboot.
I am stuck thinking it is the method used to open excel within the app.The code below has two methods, both produce the same affect. One method is blocked (makes it easy to test either one).[code]I have two buttons that open workbooks, both have identical code less the workbook requirements.Is there a better or best method to use for opening excel workbooks from vb.net?

Well, I've searched numerous threads and I'm stumped. Though my VB.net experience is newb status.I'm interacting with Excel Workbooks/worksheets with:
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Now I'm fairly adept with getting data from the excel sheet with no problem.But each and every time I quit my widows form, or execute a new command_button click to repeat an operation, in the task manager, excel.exe then opens up a new instance.Releasing the the Excel COM object seems to offer a bit of head scratching.I realize that you can get your form to activate and retrieve data from whatever spreadsheet has been directed to be opened, but I can't seem to put it back and close it correctly.I have read about the Marshal. release object methods and garbage collection with no luck so far.Do I need to import another liberary that completes this operation? I would asssume this would be taken care of as apart of the:
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
close excel instances opened up by my windows form? Somethig like this:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
[code]....
(so that it is no longer looked at as "read only" when the spread sheet is opened up from directly from excel)As A minor work around, I've teminated it from the task Bar with proc.kill() but this does not help because my ultimate goal is to just simply realease the excel sheet when my windows form is finished getting its data.This following code does not seem to work.
releaseObject(xlApp)
releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
releaseObject(xlWorkSheet)

I'm starting work updating an UI for one of my company's applications and I'm running into a sticky issue. The parent control contains several panels, each of which can be turned on or off depending on user input.
The final panel in the user control contains another user control which gets resizes according to a toggle switch. Essentially, it "opens" up more information.
While the child control (ChildControl) is docked to Fill inside the parent control (ParentControl), when I add height to ChildControl I can't get ParentControl's height to get updated as well. Currently I'm handling the ChildControl.Layout event in ParentControl but I can't seem to reach that code. To resize ChildControl, I'm calling Me.Height += 200 in ChildControl.vb.

I am looking for some guidance with the most optimal or efficient way to export a dataset to an excel file. I have searched the forums and found a number of methods to do this. However, the code I am currently using is very inefficient as it is itterating through the rows and columns to create the excel file. The app I am working on needs to be able to create 50 or so excel files each with 500+ rows and 40-50 columns. This method seems to inefficient for my use

I have tried several versions of this with no luck. The casting of the worksheet works as my data is entered in other parts, but I have a section where I need to add data 1 column right of the cell containing the 'str(0)' value. Most of these parameters are optional. I have even tried the System.Reflection.Missing object.

In the following code all goes well until the .Sort line. Then I get an error which says, "The sort method is not valid. Make sure it is within the data you want to sort and the first sort by box isn't the same or blank."I've tried various permutations to deal with this exception, all to no avail. The Range is Selected ok and the Excel data are pasted from the clip board ok. Then I get the error and no sort occurs.

I just saw on the Async CTP website that the next version of VB.NET will have iterators. I guess they included iterators because the rewriting process is similar to the one used for the new async/await feature.But reading the document that explains the feature, I realized that VB.NET iterators will actually have features that are not available in C# today, namely:
iterator blocks in a try/catch block
anonymous iterator blocks
These were known limitations in C#. Is there any chance that these limitations will be removed in C# 5 ? If not, is there any reason why it can be done in VB.NET and not in C# ?

I have a large problem with inheritance in vb.net. The problem is the following:
I have 2 forms => frmBase and frmChild
In frmBase i want to create a method Called StartWorking() and i want frmChild to inherit this method.
But here is the tricky thing: when frmChild.StartWorking is called i would like the following => without calling MyBase.StartWorking()
I want frmBase.StartWorking() to be executed first and after a test in frmBase.StartWorking if blnValue is true then frmChild.StartWorking has to be activated. if blnValue is false that frmChild.StartWorking cannot be activated.

I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

Write an overload for every numeric type or if possible constrain a generic extension method to just numeric types.
