I am working in VB.NET Win forms and what I would like to do is create an object to use its properties.
The trick is that I want to create a reference to an existing class using a string variable that gets passed in to my method.
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.

I am using the MODI DLL (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) because it has an OCR engine. That's working fine, but I'm having trouble capturing the resulting text into my own string variable (weird, huh). Modi has the result stored in the following Modi string variable:
img.Layout.Text
I've tried three ways to capture this value, only one of them works (not the one that I need to work)
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text 'fails
(2) MsgBox(img.Layout.Text) 'fails
(3) M = new Msg(img.Layout.Text) 'succeeds
Method 3 (the only one working) is a custom msgbox I built in VB.Net, and it accepts a regular .Net string variable. I need Method-1 to work. The error thrown is this:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." I even tried it like this:
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text.ToString.Trim
Here's the complete code:
Dim doc As New MODI.Document
doc.Create("C:VCR.tif")
Dim img As MODI.Image

I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.

The project is a web app in ASP/VB.net. The issue is that some pages are mind-boggingly slow. After trying to track down the bottleneck, it was discovered to be the load method when filling a datatable with query results.
We are using an Oracle database and queries are executed in stored procedures. As an example, we have a relatively simple select statement within a procedure which returns 2 columns with 6 rows which was determined to take about 0.015 seconds to execute. However it takes on average 7 seconds to load the OracleDataReader into a datatable - a ridiculous amount of time for such a small record set. After messing around with the query, I found that a simple decode statement appeared to be causing the issue. The decode statement is used similar to as follows[code]...
The iBln variable is simply a number being passed in to act as a boolean variable for determining which column should be between two dates. If I comment this decode statement out and make it simply "column1 BETWEEN iDate1 and iDate2" then the load method takes no time at all as it should, signifying that it is indeed the decode statement causing issues.
I am trying to execute a command that works with hard coded variables, but when I try and replace the name test below with selectedname, I cannot get the syntax for escaping the command. The basic idea is I am using WMI to query the app pool names and then selecting one and storing in the slectedname variable, which works when I test with a msgbox(selectedname) line. It also shows up when I am stepping through, but does not get passed to the bottom command. The function where I am trying to execute the command is
Private Sub Stpbtn_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Stpbtn.Click
Dim selectedname As String

I have working code to read an RSS feed that uses:
Dim doc As New XmlDocument
doc.Load("http://...")
Dim channel As XmlElement = doc("rss")("channel")
Dim items As XmlNodeList = channel.GetElementsByTagName("item")
Unfortunately the doc.Load call causes the rest of the program to become unresponsive until it finishes.What's the best way to perform the load asynchronously and have a callback function to process the data?Edit: Here's the code I've tried using WebClient - the Load method is still lagging:
Private Sub checkResults()
'request rss feed
Dim w As New System.Net.WebClient
[code]....
The rssReadCallback method is executed fairly quickly after calling checkResults, but then the UI freezes during the Load method.
what I am trying to do is, when a ListView loads, for the code to check the entry in column one, and then return a message box if the column contains a specific date.
I am using:

When I've used the remove handler method in my code, I get this warning:The 'AddressOf' expression has no effect in this context because the method argument to 'AddressOf' requires a relaxed conversion to the delegate type of the event. Assign the 'AddressOf' expression to a variable, and use the variable to add or remove the method as the handler.Why do I have to assign the "AddressOf" expression to a variable?
View 6 RepliesI have a piece of code that would be greatly reduced if a variable can be used instead of the actual method. (I am using a structure) kinda like the difference between the following code.

I using VB.NET (VS 2008). I want to know if I can call a sub whereby the name of sub is in a varialbe.

I know it does not work that way but how can I call a function or sub using a variable and not directly.
So strings are reference types right? My understanding is a reference to the string in the heap is passed even when you pass the string ByVal to a method.
String myTestValue = "NotModified";
TestMethod(myTestValue);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(myTestValue); /* myTestValue = "NotModified" WTF? *[code].....
And what is going on under the hood? I would have bet my life that the value would have changed....

When ListView is not in Virtual mode the following method seems to be the fast method to load a large list into ListView:
Dim items As New List(Of ListViewItem)
Dim alllines as String()=System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("FilePath")
For each line as string in alllines
Dim item As New ListViewItem
item.Text = line
items.Add(item)
Next
ListView1.Items.AddRange(items.ToArray())

View 4 RepliesSo in my window onLoad method I am pre-populating a grid with values retrieved from a database. Here is the method below for the window load:
Private Sub winMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
''#Load Grid
Dim dt As New DataTable
With dt
[code].....
What happens is, when I press F5 to debug, the program loads, and the grid is still empty, just as it is without a datasource. When I try to step through the code, it actually reaches down to the line that reads
Budgets = BudgetManager.Process.Budget.GetAllBudgets()
and then stepping over this line...the window loads and it doesn't go any further in the method. What the line of code above does is eventually make a execution call of some SQL to a SQLite database, and the code gets to the point at which it calls the execute method, but doesn't even make the query yet. All the objects up until that point in the code are set properly as well (found through debugging and checking locals.)Edit:Exception is this:
"Mixed mode assembly is built against version 'v2.0.50727' of the runtime and cannot be loaded in the 4.0 runtime without additional configuration information.
I'm trying to write a method that is called from a variety of forms at load. So with a Form1 load event I would call the following:

When I call the code at a form's load event, nothing happens. When I call it from a button click after the form has loaded it works! I know this should be called from the paint method, but that doesn't suit my purposes.
way to make this work from the form load event?
Sometimes to make a variable/method/class name descriptive I need to make it longer. But I don't want to, I'd like to have short names that are easy to read. So I thought of a special addin to IDE like Visual Studio to be able to write short names for class, method, field but be able to attach long names. If you need to - you can make it all long or you can make single name long. If you want to reduce it - use reduction, like two views of the same code. I`d like to know what others thinking about it? Do you think it is usefull? Would anybody use the kind of addin?

}
how can I do the same in c#?
I have 2 question, hope somebody give me an explanation: 1. Should a local variable call dispose method and set to nothing? 2. If some method have an arguments which it is a ByVal argument, it means a method create a new object? But If it is a ByRef argument, it means a method don't create a new object?
