View 21 RepliesIs there built in .NET functionality for making state abbreviations out of state names?
I know the function wouldn't be difficult to write, but I would assume that MS has thought of a more efficient way than the following x50[code]...
Here is, basically, how my application works:
When windows starts, my app starts. Whenever my app is running, it hides the desktop, taskbar, etc... When a button is clicked in my application ("Start program"), then my application will set its visible property at false and another application will start.
Everything seems to work perfect except I need a way for my application to set its visible property back to true, but only once the other application that was started earlier, is closed (no longer running.)
My thought was that I could use a timer to check for the applications state every so many seconds:[code...]
I have 2 concerns with this:
1. A timer checking this every few seconds will invoke unneeded stress on a computer since they are running for sometimes very long periods of time.
2. There is a better way to accomplish this that doesnt rely on a timer.

I'm setting up a program where I would like the user to be able to select a state from a combo box. I can not figure out how to allow to select the abbreviation from the drop down list and also allow them to type a letter and it will select the state from the state or just allow them to type the full abbreviation that would match what is already in the list. It is supposed to be in the drop down list style. I would also like to confirm that the user has chosen a state before allowing them to click a submit button but I'm not sure how to go about confirming it.

View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to save the state of a program. Maybe that is not the right way to describe it but, what I mean is almost any application you can input a whole bunch of data make selections and choices and then save these in files unique to the application your working with.
For the time being I will ask my question in term of VB.NET since it is what I am currently working with. I understand the use of the stream writer to write data to a file (any file extension can be used even your own made up one) and then you can later open the file with the stream reader and load the saved application state. At least that is what I know how to do. Are there other ways to approach saving the state? In my case I have a dictionary that is defined through user input to store a lot of data and I am trying to find the best way to save the dictionary so I can load it again.
Iam looking for a way to save a checkbox' state between runs. So that if a checkbox is checked and the program is the closed down, it will remain checked when the program starts up again and vice versa. I've found som deferent guides around the web but i cant seem to get it to work..

[Code]...
What I am looking to do is write a VB.NET program, as a service that reports anything on client1 that I want (say the fact it is online) to a database on the internet, so I can look on management1 and see the online status of the machine (assuming management1 has a connection to the online database).
What is being reported doesn't matter, what I am looking at is a starting point to create a system like that. I have googled obviously and come up with nothing, I'd just like a "starting point" or some documentation to look at for creating something like this. The service doesn't look too difficult but the periodic reporting of online status or ANYTHING to any kind of database is not something I am sure how to deal with.
I already have setup a VBS that reports information to an ASP script that then places it in a database but I don't know how I would create say a "keep alive" connection for a vb.net service.
I've been hired at a company to fix some bugs and make some improvements to their in house programs. The program I am currently working has been written in Visual Studio 2005, in Visual Basic specifically. The program is used to connect to a database on a server and provide various information. However, I have run into a snag where the program will refuse to connect to the database when it using a user account and password that has been set up on the database. When I look at the logs i see it is giving the error as stated above, however, I have double and triple checked the password both on the database and the one hardcoded into the program and they are identical yet it still logs that there is a password mismatch. Has anyone run into this problem or figured out a solution towards fixing it, I will be much obliged.

Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then
form1.close()
End If
End If
I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.
