An application I am developing creates a directory and text file within the directory. A button is then coded to add a text string to text file. An error is issued stating the file cannot be written to as the is open to another process. This suggests the file needs to be closed before it can be written to.
View 2 RepliesIn VB.net, how can you programmatically launch a .exe file? Is there a way to check if the file is there?
I know there is some way to check using System.IO, but I have no idea. However, I have not even the slightest clue as to how to launch that .exe if it is there,
I have seen a few .NET apps use .db files. I am not new to Visual Basic, however I have never created a VB app that uses databases. I do know PHP pretty well, and working with databases in PHP I am familiar with.

Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.
On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.
View 1 Repliesi have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like
Dim strTest As String
strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt")
Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.

I'm doing a project where we are re-creating a very old system.The client wants the same base functionality and some improvements.One of the things I'm currently working on is the note-system. These are used as flags of some sort, but are also used as a comment field for some products or client profiles.In the old system you could write the text and save it like you would get in a .txt file. They want the new one to be able to do word formatting such as:
Different font sizes (Only some parts of the text)
Different font colours (Only some parts of the text)
Underlining of words
Bolding
Italics
Tab-spaces
Those are the specs they want. What I need to know is the following:
1) How do I do that?
2) Currently they store all these files on the server as text files and the database have paths that refers to each file. I want to be able to save a text file with that formatting to the HDD of the server like in the old system.
3) If possible I would like to save that text to the database with the formatting.

I have a class that seems to be recursively adding an EventHandler to an event. I have looked at the code but there is no AddHandler on it and there's only one method with the Handles clause.In the memory profiler it shows that the event handler is calling the event handler that is calling the event handler and so on for a rather large number of steps.

View 9 RepliesWhats the best way to organize code responsible for Form's content.In my case, there is a DataGridView and list, next to it, with a few options available (projects, managers, employees, etc...). Choosing any list's element fills DataGrid with proper data from database.Now, GridFill functions + handling of all add/delete/edit buttons of each list element gives quite a code in the Form's source, which bothers me a bit. How to split it then to avoid problems in the future? While googling, I've seen some advices to use partial classes, modules or just classes. Moving all functions relating the Projects, Managers, ... , to own separate class sounds like a nice idea but then comes the question how to pass all necessary data to the class functions.

have been writing code to replace an old Fortran program. The Fortran program had very organized subroutines which could be called from anywhere in the project. Most of these were relatively small and left a small, easily followed main routine. I'm converting over to VB.net and when I write the subroutines they are all on the same form. Wading through 50-100 subroutines on one form is going to be messy.

View 3 Replieswhat would be the best way to manage a connection to a database in asp.net.My application is built using an N-Tier architecture.The DAL consists of static classes with methods such as
Public Shared Sub Delete( _
ByVal connection As MyConnectionClass, _
ByVal contact_id As Integer, _
ByVal contact_timestamp As Date _
[code]....
The point to note here, is that I pass the connection to the DAL from the BLL.Should I create the connections in the MasterPage, store it in an object, then pass it to my business objects as I create them (the thing I'm trying to avoid)Should I create a connection using a static class and calling a method like CreateConnection on it, from the constructor of my business objects (Something I'd like, but I don't want to have a connection per object, I'd like it to be shared for all instances of my objects, but since asp.net is multi-threaded, a static class doesn't make sense to store connections) the solution should also work well in a Windows Forms environment (So no connection storing in session, and retrieving it with a static method in a class, for the current context)?
i am currently trying, to create some sort of a business logic within my class, that contains information about a machine, now this machine once sold, can be re-sold by its owner. the company needs to keep track of the machine and its owner for warranty claim purposes.the class takes in two values, a from date and a to date.now when a new owner is added to the owner collection of the machine, the TO date of the previous owner should automatically be updated to one day less than the From date of the new owner that is being added.
