Microsoft COM References Vs 3rd Party?
Feb 17, 2012
I'm still new to most of this but I seem to be finding that while you can load the Microsoft Reference Libraries at no charge, I'm told they are the slowest method to use.I have tested Gembox and only read about others. Is it worth the effort to deploy these 3rd party platforms, even if I'm working with small data sets, for the moment at least? Speed is one thing but when you're talking about 2 seconds vs 0.2 seconds, it's not worth $900 per seat.
Are there other 3rd party references which are Open Source, or no cost, etc...I would like to hear what the rest of us are doing on this?

I am having problem with Visual Studio 2008.... When i add the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library from COM References, and just run the blank form, it runs perfectly.... But whenever i declare anything related to ADODB like dim con as new ADODB.Connection, then after that it gives me error and doesnt run the project. A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. After that if i comment that like (declaration), then error goes........ I tried uninstalling each and every component and VS as well but the error doesnt goes....i am using Windows 7 x64. The same is working in Windows XP x86 in my virtual machine..... as i am not able to start my project

I'm currently doing a project that includes access 2010 My question will be what driver can I use for an access 2010 *.accdb type file? For a *.mdb it works perfectly well with
ConnString ="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=" & Application.StartupPath & "\CITSDB.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=123;"
But, when I changed the mbd to accdb:
ConnString ="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.accdb)};Dbq=" & Application.StartupPath & "\CITSDB.accdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=123;"
It resulted in errors:
ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'.
ERROR[IM006][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]SQLSetConnetAttr failed
ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'
And then it shows me that my code for
If dsLogin.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 1 Then
IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Cannot find table 0
I knew it must be the driver but I don't know what accdb driver I can use for the connstring.

I am building a VB 2008 Express Edition application.I have built a database (with a single table) using SQL Server Compact 3.5 and have connected it to the project. I am able to view and edit the data using a DataGridView on a second form (tutorial made this very easy). I need to work with the data in the table within the application. how to easily load the entire table into an array or even read the table a row or cell at a time so that I can make all of the data available for manipulation within the application (the tutorials only seem to show how to display the data).

So I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I don't have office loaded on my computer. Now I have another laptop, with office that I loaded this project on, and it works fine. So do I have to load office on this computer, or can I just reference something?

I have vb .net windows form application that I want to connect to Microsoft access database using "Microsoft DAO 3.6 object library". My problem is that when I go to Project tab -> Add reference -> COM tab, there should have been "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library" on the list, but for some reason It's not on the list. Then I googled, and found out that the location of "DAO360.DLL" is "Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAO". After clicking on Browse tab, I browsed to that location, and I guess I added reference on another way.This is the code that I used before for connecting to Access, but for some reason It doesn't work this way on this PC.

I've spent the best part of the week learning about TCP/IP and sockets but it's really draining my enthusiasm for my project. The basics are simple enough and the MSDN examples are fine and I can put together a simple server/client easily now, but once I start getting into asynchronous connections, threading and all the other stuff, I'm getting bogged down and frustrated. I've followed a dozen tutorials and examples now and they're all too confusing and half of them simply don't work.
I think what's most frustrating is that I really don't wish to become an expert on sockets or TCP, which seems to be the advice on most forum replies. I really want to be getting on with my project which has ground to a halt since I started looking into this. Yes, I know the world isn't always that simple.
So, what I'm looking for is a 3rd party app or some working code that will let me set up a server and multiple clients. All I really want them to be able to do is to send strings to each other, without blocking the application. Really, that's it, just the ability to pass strings back and forth between server and client, preferably in as simple a format as possible - e.g SendMessage(Client,String).

I am writing a small application that will display some info to my end user. I have another program that the end user will have open while running my appplication. What I am trying to do is have my application launch itself (and maintain positioning if other app location changes) and "tether" itself to the other application.Ideally the top left of my application would attach to the top right of the other application.I have tried for countless hours working with the GetWindowPos API but the values returned are either all zeros or it just doesn't work.I do a Try/Catch to see if the other app is running and I fetch the Handle of the process. This works fine. Then I try to get the positioning of this process and set my .Left property to the returned RECT's .Left property. no dice.This is Visual Basic 2005 ExpressOther application is a PuTTY window that is not a fullscreen app.

my program launches a 3rd party program with a few switches to update itself.Once these updates are complete I need to manually click save from the applications menu. This can be done via the keyboard (Alt Gr + M then Alt Gr + S)
The application will take several seconds to load at which point the application will open maximised and the save option will be enabled.

Does anyone know of a good 3rd party reference for Win32 API for .Net where VB.Net is the target language Most API references target C as the language of choice. Frankly, I hate C and all C like languages.

I'm using VB 2008 and I'm trying to add a xmlns="mynamespace" attribute to an XDocument's root element.The XML document is created by a 3rd party, and I have loaded it into a VB XDocument object. As it comes, it has no namespaces. I have been working on a local copy and I added in a namespace in a text editor, so that I can use the XMLToSchema in VB to enable intellisense etc, as per the instructions in the Beth Massi vids at MSDN. Now the rest of the code works I want to open the live documents again. Without the namespace, my XML literals don't resolve.I've tried unsuccessfully to add in the XMLNS property to the root tag using a few methods, and the nearest I got was the following three code samples.
Dim myNS As XNamespace = "urn:nbf:namespacename"
myXML.Element("nameofrootelement").Add(myNS)
^^^^ The namespace was added as the value of the root element, not as an attribute.
XML.Root.Add(New XAttribute("xmlns", "name"))
^^^^ Generated the error: Run-time exception thrown : System.Xml.XmlException - The prefix '' cannot be redefined from '' to 'name' within the same start element tag.
but
XML.Root.Add(New XAttribute("test", "name"))
^^^^ works correctly. Presumably it doesn't like me manually trying to set a reserved attribute? This namespacing seems way too over complex from some of the Googling I've done.I thought to .ToString it, then modify, then .Parse it also, but I wanted a better solution so that it would help me understand it a little better! I did try this though, and as you rightly point out, it affects all the descendants too, so thus it still breaks.
I will be working with multiple XML feeds all produced by different third parties, and I think for simplicity I will be leaving out the namespacing entirely!My own custom parsing function rewrites the third party feeds into one uniformed document, which then gets processed by another routine. I'll be able to add a ns to that intermediate piece of XML which will help when coding the secondary function.

Im trying to detect when numbers change in a 3rd party app and then capture them for crunching. I do recall something back in the days of vb5 that would list control info when the mouse hovered over it. Cant seem to find anything like it these days. Ive got window handles ok, just cant read the control data.

Working on a program that makes use of a third party API. That API can be found here:[URL]I'm a beginning/intermediate VB.Net developer, and have written other programs, but not using something like this. I suspect I'll need to create a Web.Request (Secure) object and 'POST' to the URL with a stream of XML text. That's the general idea, right? The actual URL is internal to our network and I have that information of course.
