I was just wondering what is the meaning of placing the '$' character after a function call
E.g.: Dim time as string = Format$(Now, "Long Time")
And what is funny is that it is of no use (as far as I can see).
Some programs implement command parameters, Like my favourite computer game - Crysis - has them and windows media player has them.But how could i implement them in VB.NET..I want to have a component of my program built as a seperate exe - so it can be an Optional component.But of course the seperate exe, on load, needs data passing to it.So i need something like Process.start("Componentname.exe", "/StartDL <Suchandsuchastring>)/StartDL will need to call a function, and the string that it uses will be given to the function to initiate a download?
I am trying to convert a DLL function call which has the Callback function routine called within the DLL function call.The DLL function call signature is like this:
Though i used it a lot of times while inserting,updating or deleting the entries of the database but my basic concept about this statement is not clear.......
How do I dynamically call a function with delegates by passing a string to a background thread in VB.NET?
Currently my code is this
Public Sub invertImageBK(ByVal image As Bitmap) Dim snxl As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker = createBW() snxl.RunWorkerAsync(New ImageProperties(image.Clone, "invertImage", Nothing))
I'm trying to undersatnd the syntax of calling a funciton and it seem confusing when I'm using a web service in ASP.net. Maybe this question should be in an ASP forum, but it is a VB question. This simple web service allows you to type in your name and it response with an alert box with you name.
My question is, How can you call a function with 2 arguments when the function is only defined for one. I understand that the second argument is actually a method that handling the respons, but how can you interchange function arguments for methods and how do you know that there are methods for
I want to create an ExpressionTree where a Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vektor) should be called. So I use
Expression.Call(Forces(0).Function.Method, {Vec1, Vec2, Vec3, Vec4, Double1, Double2})(Vec1-4, Double1-2 are declared as ParameterExpression and Forces(0).Function as Func(of Vector, Vector, Vector, Vector, Double, Double, Vector). But I get an AgrumentException, because Forces(0).Function.Method has seven Arguments. (System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Closure as seventh argument at Index 0).
How can I call a function from inside another function and suspend the calling function until the called function is finished? I hope I can get some replies because I don't know how to ask the question and make sense:).
Anyway what I am trying to do in steps:
1. The user clicks button1 which triggers the click event. 2. From the click event I call a function 3. I then pop-up a form, that has instructions for the user to read. 4. After the user has read the form he will click the "Done" button and return to the calling function.
The problem is the the calling function continues to execute. I want to stop execution of the calling function until the users clicks the "Done" button on the instruction pop=up. I know I can use a msgbox but the instructions can be lengthly and does not look good in a msgbox.
I have tried the Call method with return in the "Done" button click but I can make that work. I also tried a goto statement but I can get that to work either. In the call statement I said call frmInstruction.show() and it got there but as I said the calling function continued to execute.
ive two custom controls, which are used to draw and edit etc...(like paint but customized....) i want to save their images with a single click....So im using the Getimageofcontrol function to do it....its code is below:::
Public Function GetImageOfControl(ByVal c As Control) As Image Dim rc As New Rectangle(c.PointToScreen(c.Location), c.Size) Dim i As Image = New Bitmap(rc.Width, rc.Height)[code].....
and the code to call this function for saving the images is simply.. ...
I have a function where I am performing a lot number of database operations inside a Sub. The operation when called directly like:ExecProcess()
takes about 11 seconds to run.However, if I create a Delegate, and call the sub using BeginInvoke(), the very same process takes over 40 seconds to execute.Here's the threaded code:
Protected del As ProcessDelegate Protected Delegate Sub ProcessDelegate() del = New ProcessDelegate(AddressOf SELocal.ExecJob) Dim cb As New AsyncCallback(AddressOf Me.ExecJobComplete) del.BeginInvoke(cb, del)
Anyone know what may cause a function to take longer inside a new thread, rather than calling directly?
I am attempting to inherit an ASP.NET RegularExpressionValidator and add some functionality to it. I inherited the control and added my custom properties. However, I would also like the client-side functionality to call a different JavaScript function.
In order to do that, I will need to supress what is happening in the AddAttributesToRender method because the name of the function is hard-coded there. Here is what comes up in Reflector for the AddAttributesToRender function in RegularExpressionValidator:

Note: I tried to add the expando property before the parent class does to see if the code would check for its existence and skip it, but that just causes an exception.
I arrive from years with Oracle plsql. Now I'm trying vb.net I created a function that return a char value, so written:

The question: I will create a function get_type(...) in vb.net that calls the tsql function written above... how can I call the tsql function [abc].[GET_PERSON_TYPE] in vb.net function get_type(...) function?
I am trying to call a php function from .net. I tried to a webrequest method but I am not sure how to specify the function to call in the url. A link below shows the method I am trying to call.[URL]..
I have created a new Class Library in visual basic and called it 'TestDLL'. I have a TestDLL.vb file where I put in this code
Class TestDLL Function ReturnHello() As String Return "Hello" End Function End Class
Then I clicked on the build tab and built the solution. I then copied the DLL 'TestDLL.dll' to C:TestDLL.dll
I am trying to use that DLL in a console application. I have tried this code but I get an error: System.EntryPointNotFoundException was unhandled Message=Unable to find an entry point named 'ReturnHello' in DLL 'C:TestDLL.dll'.
Declare Function ReturnHello Lib "C:TestDLL.dll" () As String I have added TestDLL.dll to the references for the console application and got that to work, however my goal is to load and unload different .dll files without restarting the application. I have a lot more code besides this, but I'm just trying to find out what commands I could use for just calling functions from DLL files.
There was something I was reading about assemblies, but all I get that to do is list the classes in my dll file. I will already know all the names and locations of the .dll files, and also the class and functions that they contain, because I will be building all of them. how I can get a simple function return in my console application.
I have a public function to call default email client.Public Function OpenEmail(ByVal EmailAddress As String, Optional ByVal Subject As String = "", Optional ByVal Body As String = "") As Boolean
I am using textbox(txtFileType) with event OnFocus=("this.blur();"), so I can't use textchanged event for this textbox, I have written a vb code to calculate my FileNumber using Storeprocedures based on the value of textbox(txtFileType). Can I call this vb code from javascript which can be used in clientside.. please help with an example..
I've got a program that has a text box with a list of files that are on any removable media. Suppose you launch the program and there's nothing in your CD-ROM drive. Right now, you'd get nothing, and you'd have to insert a disc and click a "refresh" button, which triggers a function that repopulates the list.
Is there any good way to call this function on the event that the user inserts/removes a CD-ROM from any CD-ROM drive? Also, inserting/removing external disks and flash drives? Without having to constantly poll the drives. Floppy disks aren't important to me.
I wrote a vb program that would prompt the user to enter a number and then enter the exponent value they wanted the number raised to. When they clicked button 3 it did the calculation. everything worked perfectly.
Now I need to change the program. I must create a function in a module and then call that function from button3 click event. I have tried several different ways and even though it seems to "work", it keeps returning an incorrect value![code]...
I develop a website and I have this problem:The registered users on the website should put a (date & time) field, and when the current date will be the same of this date a function (that I developed) should be called.
I'm trying to call an array from another function into an argument command for a command prompt, but I have no clue on how to do so.This code is the code where I am calling the command prompt and adding arguments
