We are about to have a situation where our application needs to accept/give data to another application. Both applications are residing on the same machine.Two approaches being talked about are using a local web service that will do this or using files that will be used to share all of this data.
View 3 Repliesi have a sample code written in VB6 that allows communicating between different application windows and passes data. The link is below:[URL] I wonder how we can do the similar work inside VB.net. I simply claim a method between different applications communicating each other and transmits data. Lately i was using the old code and after my researchs on internet i also found different methods using System.Runtime.Remoting libraries
View 2 Repliesi need to build a small data acquisition terminal in VB express 2008. it would be able to accept data packets on any serial port or USB virtual serial port. and to parse and send the data to excel.
View 2 Repliesis there as simple way to pass data between 2 apps? it seems DDE support this, but vb.net 2010 seems not support DDE anymore. in my program, I need launch another exe, then wait the exe finish, and get the export data.
both apps are in the same solution. one method I can think of is: writing the data into a xml file, then load it from the main exe when the second exe is done.is there an easier way to do this?
Just wondering what is the simplest way to send data between ALL instances of my app on the SAME windows login on a single machine - I do not want to use anything that opens a port as i don't want there to be any chance of having it blocked by a firewall
View 3 RepliesI have two VB projects in one VS2010 solution. The first program brings in about 60 integers every few seconds from my PC's serial port. The second program, published via Click-Once and running on my customer's PC, needs to see that new data every two to five seconds.
Is there a simple and reliable way to accomplish this, staying with VB?
I would like to know if it was possible to share data between several assemblies using the same DLL.
I'm not looking for a workaround using memory or disk files of some kind of pipes to do the job I just want to know if and how:
1 - I can run an App. referring to a DLL which contains a given shared data structure.
2 - Run another App. referring to the same DLL that will use the already loaded DLL and data instead of creating a new base instance.
I want to build a main application that make the autentication process and store the loged user... Then use X and Y applications to ask the current user and depends of the user will have full access partial or none access to the app. In future a Z application could be created and will ask for the current user also. XYZ apps are lauched from Main app, when Main app is closed the others are closed and User ID data is cleared. Of course the main app will handle the log on/log off process.
- Store User ID in a Database is toooooo much for just do this
- Save the User ID in a local file like XML is a security problem
I tried to do a WCF Service but i think its not possible to send data and store in it.The other point is who to handle the instantation issue... each program will access to the same static data not create independent.
I've used mutiple threads in a VB.NET program but I don't know if I did it right.I would like to start about 3 threads.Can they all use the same methods?Will a separate instance of each method automatically be created for each thread?If not, how do you make sure that the data within the method that is used by one thread is not used by another thread?I would like some data to be shared by all threads.How is data shared among threads?What is the protocol for changing the data and checking for changed data?Is there a good tutorial / website that explains how to handle methods and data when using multiple threads?
View 3 RepliesI have several Visual Studio Extensions (VSX) that I need to communicate with each other. (For instance activate features, share saved files, access project items from one to another.) I could utilize the registry but I have a very bad feeling about that. I was thinking of a commonly placed XML file but I'm afraid of not having the proper permissions to access it. sharing data between (live) extensions?
View 2 RepliesI have 5 websites running on same server and I have some sql tables that I access frequently. that was time consuming and by defining them shared I pumped them in memory. So my application is accessing those static data tables from memory quite efficiently.
But I realized I did a mistake and I occupied my memory unnecessarily while I keep same tables 5 times for each web application. Now I need to find the best way to share that table only 1 time. my options are;
1) using a local database - sql CE. my original sql database is on other server. so it makes the access slower but I can add a sql CE database(to be honest I never used it and dont know if it gives me anything) to access only these tables while they have static rows.
2) I read over forums that making a WCF using tcp binding. not sure if it will give me any advantage.
3) windows service: is it faster than wcf? programming is defiantly faster as i have experience with winservice but nor sure about performance.
Quite a few threads on passing data from one form to another, but I'm struggling to work out how to share data between the two - back and forth.
For example:
Class1 is a class with 10 string properties
Form1 has 10 labels ("Label1", "Label2" etc) and a [Configure] button.
Form2 has 10 textboxes and a [Apply] button.
I want to load with Form1, and create an instance of Class1. Click the Configure button and load Form2, passing Class1. On Form2 I want to manually fill in the 10 textboxes and hit Apply. The Apply should update the Class1 instance and close the form.
Form1's Label controls should then be updated with the data from the Class1 instance.
I'm fine creating the forms and classes, as well as passing the class into Form2 with a custom Sub New(EmptyClass as Class1) constructor. This gets the empty class into Form2, but how can I get the populated class back to Form1?
As Form1 already exists I don't want to create a new instance with another custom Sub New(PopulatedClass as Class1)
It's also key to be able to use the Form2 multiple times, basically ending up with a Data class being displayed as part of Form1 but updated using Form2? (For example if the Class has already been created and populated with data when it's passed back to Form2 for the second time I would pre-load the Textboxes with the values already in the class).
what WPF based apps are?Is it an application that runs under Silverlight? If so, how?I know; Windows Forms based apps,console apps,DLL _ Class Library Projectsand I've had an introduction to ASP.Net.What I mostly want to know is, if WPF apps are for Silverlight then do they also run in a server based fashion like anASP.NET website would when you create ASP.Net webpages?Is it a way of creating what looks like a FORMS BASED application but it runs in a browser instead or what?Please enlighten me a bit further as I have no idea what WPF is all about.
i want to which way is better when concentration is on processing speed. i want to call a method that compute some data that method is on another form in my windows form application then what you prefer is better way 1) to call that method in another form and use returned value or create similar method in form where it is required.i want to make it's processing fast.

I'm developing a project for gathering customer feedback using a Samsung Q1 Ultra, a cheap touchscreen PC. The project consists of two parts: a PC based application that builds the survey and stores the info on an SQL Server, and a survey viewer on the Samsung device which downloads survey data from the SQL Server and stores it on a SQL Server Compact 3.5 database.
My question is, how best can I transfer survey data from the SQL Server to the handheld device's database? Writing a tonne of code to copy data from one database to another seems overcomplicated - is there a handy function or somesuch that I can use to copy data from identical tables on these two separate databases?

How can I read data from a .csv file I have opened into a variable for later use (i.e. plotting with zedgraph)? My csv file contains 100+ columns and 12000+ rows of data, with each column a different variable.
I've searched around a ton on this subject, and combined many methods I found on the net to my project but none actually do what I am required to do.
I basically need to hold a lot of data - the structure is that of a five dimensional array holding integers.What would be the most efficient way of storing this in a file (I was thinking of XML - your opinion?) that would also be quick to extract.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking to display some data taken from an Access database. It's just a table of data but all of Visual Basic DataGrid stuff seems too...bland and businessy. I want something that looks really attractive and would be suitable for a game (a sports management one). I'm using some Krypton Controls and even though there is a DataGridView in there, again it's not what I'm looking for. I could just have a listbox for each column of data and that would allow me to customize the style completely, but it would be a bit fiddly working out sorting and stuff (even though I reckon I could do).

I am getting the same compile error for the forms with setview. I am thinking it concerns with listview. It highlights the public sub setview().
I'm trying to generate my own dataset and create parent/child relation on the fly so that the subsequent datagridviews (dgv) that will be displaying the information will filter each child dgv by the record chosen in the parent dgv (I hope this makes sense).
So far I am able to display info in each dgv, but every record from each corresponding table is displayed in each dgv- no filtering is occuring. I think the problem might be in how I'm creating the relation and/or how I'm linking it to the dgv. Here's the code I have on the UI:

I have a tabcontrol with a number of tab pages each of which contains a DataGridView control. I populate each DataGirdView form a local SQL Server. The method which does this works fine. The problem I'm having is I want to use the same method to populate each DataGridView control. I created a private member variable called mDataGridView as a DataGridView and use the TabControl SelectedTab property to determine which tab page the user has selected. I then try the following

I then use mDataGridView in my method which retrieves data from the SQL database. Although the compiler dosn't gag at this it doesn't work. Am I right in thinking that mDataGridView references dgvQuoteTemplate?
use of the shared function, which returns a reference to a datatable to the calling code. While there a probably many debates as to the preferred use of ADO.NET objects, my question is about the Shared Method aspect.

I have problems with array of structures.my structures are like this
structure order
xxxxxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyyy
zzzzzzzzzzz
end structure
and then I created many array of structures, like this private arrayorder (100) as order
now i need to sort the entire xxxxxx member of the array of the structure with a function, but I dont want to use loops with arrays indexes to access the information. I want to know if there is another method to reference the array and the member of the structure to get the data.
[URL] Using this I have managed to use Server Side Web Methods to perform actions with AJAX.In most instances, I just need it to do stuff (save things to a database for example) so don't need to do anything with the response, but now I've come across a situation where I do, and I can't work it out!The Web Method returns a JSON object, which looks like this:
{"d":"[{"validDetails":"True","lateAlert":"","LoginResponse":"Logging in Jamie at 16:53 please wait"}]"}
This is the output shown from Firebug. I am not sure what the 's are, but bear with it...The AJAX call and attempt at outputting this response is:
$("form").on("submit", function () {
var LogonObject = new Object;
LogonObject.password = $('#password').val();
[code]....
And several other variations from info I have found on Google and SO, but it seems to treat the results variable as a string, not an array, and the output I get on the alerts is each individual character, ie;
[, {, ", v, a, l, i, d, D... etc
So I wondered if results needed to be converted to JSON again (though I don't know why) so I tried
results = $.parseJSON(data.d)
But that didn't work either.
EDIT, the code which generates the response (missing out tons of logic, but this is the important bit):
Public Class OutputObject
Public validDetails, lateAlert, LoginResponse As String 'content of JSON output'
End Class
