Nested Tokens - Multiple Instances In A String
Jun 22, 2010
I would like to use nested tokens, a similar question was asked in this thread [URL While this did address how to do it with a single instance, I was wondering how to do it with multiple instances in a string. ie.
input to textbox1
"I {love|like} {blue|red|orange|pink} its my {favorite|worst} color "
Press a button and would output a random word in the brackets to textbox2/msgbox similar to. "I like red its my favorite color" or "I love pink its my worst color"

Any best method of managing multiple SQL connections .net (VB). My application connects to four instances of SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008, 2008R2) restoring databases, modifying data and taking backups. In addition to managing databases the app also has its own DB (on the 2008 instance) for storing various data. I'm using two methods to connect to the instances, SMO (For backups, restoring and retrieving information about the databases, size etc) and SqlClient for querying each database for many tasks such as updating fields and executing sql scripts.I have multiple forms for performing various tasks so there are many places I'm opening / closing connections.
Would it be best to maintain a persistent global connection to each instance from the application? (Two in total, one for SMO and the other for SqlClient) or open close a connection for each task I'm performing?) I'm not using LINK as I need the tasks to be as fast as possible. The connection string will differ on each connection (Based on Instance and Database being connected to) how would I manage this? A string in the config file for the applications database would make sense, as that would be static but the databases being worked on will vary with each connection. Currently I'm creating a connection for each instance within the main form:
Dim 2000Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2000;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")
Dim 2005Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2005;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")
Dim 2008Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2008;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")

I have the following problem. (VB.Net 2008)I have created a class (myFirstClass). In this class there are a lot of calculations being made wich gets fired by events in that same class.Now i want that same class to be able to fire more instances of itself. However i noticed that each time i fire an event from a Sub the program waits till the event is finished before going to the next line of code. This is a problem since i want the event wich fires a new instance of the class to fire it and forget about it.

I have two forms in my application. Form 1 is a listview that is populated with unique Customer IDs. When the user double click the listview on the particular Customer ID then it loads Form2. Form2 has many listviews within it such as a listview for the Customer telephone, another listview for their addresses etc and all the data presented in Form2 listviews are based on the Customer ID that the user clicked in Form1.
So here is my question...I want the user to be able to open Form2 with that particular details of the customer but also to go back to Form1 and double click another Customer ID and opens Form2 again (such as replicating Form2) with the other Customer details.So the moral of the story is i want the user to be able to have many instances of Form2 open each time they wish to view a different Customer ID without having to close Form2 down every time.

My ultimate goal is to get a list of PIDs and have a user select 1 of them.For example: the process image name is program.exe. The application name varies for each instance the program.exe is run, and therefor each application name has its own PID associated with it. By application name I mean the Task name under the Applications tab of Windows Task Manager. Another issue I face is that some systems run x64, so the name is no longer program.exe but program.exe*32
So my issue is, how do I search for program.exe, or on x64 platforms program.exe*32, and if there are multiple instances of program.exe/program.exe*32 running, how can I get a list of PIDs for each and associated them with the application name as the Task name under the Applications tab of Windows Task Manager.that might sound a bit confusing! So if it is, please let me know and I will try to explain more. Any reference guides or example code would be greatly appriciated as I have only used the "System.Diagnostics" but once.

I have an application which the user can open multiple instances on the same machine. However, a section of the app would have sync problems if more than 1 instance has control over it. This is where I thought of transferring control, or sharing, between them. What should I be looking into?
They would have to be able to identify which one of them has control and to send text information over. I thought IPC or Named Pipes could do the trick, but I'm unfamiliar with them and examples seem to indicate only a single server will work. Here, I have multiple instances of the same app and every one of them needs to be able to listen for that request for control.

I have created an alarm program but am having an issue creating multiple alarms. Here is what I have so far. I have created an array to hold multiple instances(10) of alarms that I want to run concurrently.
Code:
Dim SetAlarms(7, 9) As String
Public Shared x As Integer = AlarmNumb
'X=alarmnumb
[Code]....
What I cannot figure out is how to get the program to read the array and recognize each row as a separate alarm to process. This means it must read the array, know which variables to populate with what information and cycle thru the list.

I'm working on a program that uses a COM Object exposed by a .dll. The .dll has a known bug, though, where it acts very erratically when more than one instance of the object is created under one .dll, resulting in crashes or corrupted data a large part of the time. I'm curious if there is some way I can load another instance of the .dll itself, then create another instance of the object without having to need a new process for every instance.

I have a sub that runs on a button click which I want to create a new instance of a custom class and add it to a list of already created instances of this class. I want the result to be a List Of collection of all of my class instances.
My problem is that each time I run the sub, it simply 'overwrites' the first instance of the class and adds a copy of it to the list instead of writing a new instance. My code is along these lines
dim objFixture as new clsFixture
For n As Integer = 1 To intNoOfChannels
objFixture.SetChannelAddress(n, intCurrentChannelTotal + 1)
intCurrentChannelTotal += 1
next
lstFixtures.Add(objFixture)

Good Day. Kinda banging my head against the wall on this one. I have a Mdi application with the start form(mdiparent) and form1(mdichild). On the start form, there is a textbox and a button. Heres how I want it to work:
1. value is entered into textbox and button is clicked
2. if form1 is open with that value, Bring it to the front if not, create a new instance of form1
If Not IsNothing(frmForm) Then 'If it is something
If Not frmForm.IsDisposed Then 'it's not disposed
'loop through the open form1s and compare the form1s property to the startform textbox
'if its the same, bring the form1 to the front

I am writing an application whose main purpose will be to collect user-entered data on a prescribed time interval (to be used by a dr. during anesthesia to collect patient vitals during surgery). I am attempting to accomplish this by having a form opened from the main window on every tick of a timer. The problem, is that if the user is a bit slow in entering the data on the first window, and the timer ticks again before they submit the first form, when the form is reopened (currently by simply using a show() command), the process of opening the form again simply overwrites the original form rather than creating a second instance.What is the best way to open a second (and possibly 3rd, 4th... nth) instance of the same form?

I have a form which displays temperature and humidity data for a device in the field. I have multiple devices. Rather than creating a separate form for each device, obviously it is much better to have a single form that I instantiate, pass data to, and display. The devices are listed in a treeview, and when the user double-clicks the node, I create an instance of the form, pass the device's data to the instance of the form, and display the form. All of this works perfectly. However, I have a challenge: If the form for a particular device is already open, I don't want another one opened when the user double-clicks the node.
However, whenever I place logic in the program to check for the existence of the form and only allow another instance to be created if one doesn't already exist, it prevents me from creating a form instance for any other device that I may wish to view, simultaneously. So, I have a dilemma -- allow the user to display the data for multiple devices, including allowing multiple forms to be open for a single device, OR only allowing one device to be displayed at any given time.

If the application is used with multiple users/instances adding records to the same database, whats the best practice for doing this and not incurring any conflicts with primary keys. Right now my partial solution is to do a tableadapter.fill before adding a new row to retrieve any new records. But this obviously isnt the best practical solution as the likleyhood of a conflict still exists when letting the apllication increment the key.
Whats a "correct" way to do this, any reading or examples would be great for me to learn.

When I create more than one instance of the same form and I call a method on any of these instances, the code only fires on the most recently created instance. Even when I click a button on that form, it executes on the other form. How can I call these and keep them as distinct objects?
For example: if I build Form1 with a public method called ChangeMyColor and a button to call that method. Then in the main app I set MyForm1 = New Form1
and MyForm2 = New Form1, then call MyForm1.ChangeMyColor, the color changes on the second instance. Even if I click that button on the first instance, the color still changes on the second.
