View 2 RepliesI have created a program that allows me to remotely access computers on my network (not all done by me i found some code online) however i want to modify that program to allow me to connect to computers not on my network. How can i go about doing this? My program consists of a client and a server. When the server runs it listens for the client on the client side i enter the IP address and it connects so i can send remote commands to the remote system.

Unable to copy file "objDebugxyz.dll" to "binDebugxyz.dll".How to write it correctly?
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

I'm trying to extract the icon from a shortcut (lnk file), but I end up with the shortcut symbol in the lower-left hand corner of the image. How can I extract a shortcut's icon without this symbol?

I have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.

I am writing some code as part of a framework for opening a file.The file is of custom type and should not be opened by more than one instance of my application. To stop multiple file opening I use a filestream to create a lock file and then keep said filestream open. This seems to work in preventing another instance of my application from opening the file ( as it will fail in recreating the lock stream in the files open code ) but if the file is on a network share and the network drops then the original application also can not access the file any more.The code to get the lock stream is as follows:
Try
' We need to keep this stream alive to prevent other applications gaining access to the lock
mLockStream = New FileStream(mLockPath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)[code]....
In this I create the lock stream the first time round and then if another application tries to create it, it throws an exception and stops them from getting any further. This is kind of how it needs to work, unfortunately as I said, if this is done across a network and then the network connection is dropped for some reason then I can not delete the lock stream as I get an IOException telling me a process cannot access the file as it is open in another process ( which shouldn't be happening I don't think).
I have a problem I want to make a server and client where the server is password protected and will make the client display files/folders in a designated folder which will be in the server's current directory and the client will ask what IP and password to connect to and if the password is correct is allows the client to access the files/folders in that folder in C.D. of the server and the client can download any file within the folder by clicking a button, yet don't even know where to start.
View 7 RepliesI have an existing application written in html/asp that calls routines from a standard dll (written in VB6), and (3) COM+ components (also written in VB6). The db is MS SQL.
This is a very small and benign application that does logic processing. It is becoming increasing difficult to find shared hosting sites that allow registration of standard dll's (using reg32) and the COM+ components (using the IIs tools).
On the other hand, I was told by one hosting service (goDaddy) that they can host apps that are written in .NET>>>
"DLLs written to the .NET Framework specification can be run automatically from the /bin folder of your ASP.NET enabled website."
What does this entail and can it be done? i.e., can I convert the older VB6 components (and the asp/html code?) to .NET?

I am trying to create an application that will enable me to type in my local language. For that I need to modify the key presses. For example when I press key A it should change it to ”. Also I would like to know how to detect double and triple key presses e.g. shift + W and ctrl + shift + J and remap them to a different character. Also I would like to know how to detect a text string like and replacing them with other string like member. I have found a code that modifies key. But when I tried to change key A to key B it produces AB. I am including the code below. Hope I have made myself clear.

If I have a column say "price" that has for arguments sake 800 rows and I want to use a textbox and button multiply every row by the number entered in the text box when I press the button. So lets say I want to raise the price 8.5% I'd put 0.085 hit the button it would loop through the rows and multiply each value in the "price" column accordingly.

What I'm trying to do is iterate through a string and turn all of the "a"s into "c"s "b"s into "d"s and "c"s into "e"s? Here's what I've got thus far and I'm keeping the old string intact.

I can do this for loop in my sleep in C++, but it seems that the increment counter i is never what I expect it to be. It should start as 0 (first letter of string) replace whichever of the three it finds, then change to 1 (second letter of the string) and replace whatever it finds there right?
I've got two classes deployed as COM+ components, let's say ClassA and ClassB. ClassA has some public properties. ClassB sets values for those properties and calls a method of ClassA. The method itself does not modify the value of the property. After the call the values of the properties are reset to default values for the corresponding types. This only happens if the called method includes statement ContextUtil.SetComplete(). Once I comment out the statement the values of the properties remain same as they were before the method call, which is what I expect. Do I overlook some basic concept of COM+ objects and their contexts? I would expect the property value to remain the same in any case.
Here's the simplified listing for the code:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System.EnterpriseServices
<Transaction(TransactionOption.Required)> _

I tried:

Is there a way for me to modify all of the element of my array at once? just out of curiosity will the same method work for string arrays?

File version - 4.2.0.9
Product Version - 4.02.0009
Is it possible to change the File Version? I want this to say 4.2.9.123
I want to change this programmatically, so where is the file would I find these values? Are they at a specific location?
Is this going to cause an issue registering the exe/dll's with COM if I change the internal version?
