PDF File Storing And Creating With Mysql?
Jun 10, 2011
I am going to try to explain this the best I can I didn't develop the original version of this, or the part that rights it to the database.in our company, there is a program that takes PDF files and stores them in our mysql database as blobs. The blobs are attached to inventory items by the inventory items ID. they are basically certificates. That is basically all I know about it.
however, I was asked to show the PDF files for certain associates that may want to view them. ie, if a sales person looks up item 1234 and there is a stored PDF certificate for the item, be able to access the pdf and show it to the employee if they want to see it.The code that I found that was previously wrote to view the PDFs takes the blog, create the file in the app.path directory, and then uses shell to launch it like a normal PDF.
I don't have a problem using the adobe pdf reader to launch the file, but is there a more efficient way other than creating the file on any machine in our company where someone wants to view the PDF ?

I'm making a LAN instant messenger and I'm trying to achieve something similar to how MSN will open a new chatting window when you double click on a friend. My main form has a list of friends, and I want to create a new chat window when they double click on one of those friends. I've created a "template" chat form which I want to generate dynamically, and I've run into some problems I need help with.[code]The form will only appear once as far as I can tell, and the chat form has events such as button clicks; an error occurs when I try to change something like the text property of a label for example (eg. clicking a button on the chat form changes the text of a label on the chat form will cause an error to occur). The error I actually get is:[code]Now, call me a newb if you will, but I really don't know much about threading and all that hocus pocus.

I want to create a simple treeview from a database table. It is going to be recursive and I want for each item to show the description and in the background of each item hold a key value. Then when the user selects a node I can use that key value to select the data.

Now, call me a newb if you will, but I really don't know much about threading and all that hocus pocus. Some guidance in the right direction would be great.
EDIT: ClientWind is the chat form.EDIT: That's weird. It doesn't occur with the actual builds.

I want to add a new Data Source (so I can use it with Crystal Reports) but using mysql, I did this before.
In the left side under: 'Data Sources' and then choosed 'Add New DataSource'Then I choose: Database > Dataset I clicked in 'New Connection' and I changed the first box (with 'change' button (as you can see in the image attached)) to what is showed in the image (MySQL Database..)The problem is, as I type the first letter of any of the textbox's that are below (server, user, or pwd) it closes that form showing the previous form (where I clicked 'New Connection')
Have someone had this problem ?I had a connection there, but since I changed the project from 'Framwork 4 Client Profile' to 'Framework 4' (so I could have the Crystal Report Viewer) the connection has gone and don't leaves me create it again.PD: I'm using dotNetConnector (already Added as a Reference)

Hi, I've created a login screen for my application and defined the username and password using the following code
If UsenameBox.Text = "username" and PasswordBox.Text = "password" Then
Me.Hide()
Main.Show()
It works great however, I need the user to be able to set their own password using a registration form with the details being stored in a xml file. There are no security concerns with the password being stored in a text file as it's a mock login screen.

I am trying to store 8 separate pieces of information in a text file (like a database) [but not a SQL database], consisting of integers and strings. How would I use an array to do this? Will an array collect data from text boxes (I also want to display the 8 pieces of information in separate boxes). also how would I save the text file so I can open it again or open a different text file (database?), from within the program?
EDIT: I see I need to use readline and writeline to read/write from a text file but how would I find specific data to show in my boxes?

MSDN only discusses strings, images, audio, etc.. but does not cover text files.
I have a text file with about 6k lines of short strings, each on its own line, added to my project's resources and I'm trying to .add each line to a collection. I've tried about 7 or 8 things, not all using StreamReader, but I can't find documentation on this anywhere.
Here is the last thing I tried:
Dim JunkStrings As New Collection
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(My.Resources.shorts)
Do While sr.Peek() >= 0
[Code].....
I just can't find the equivalent to this that reads lines from a text file out of my.resources.

I have been tasked to create an application, for which the requirements may change over time.This application will be a data entry Windows application,of which multiple copies will be running.All data will be written to text (.CSV) files for validation before being uploaded to a remote mainframe system (iSeries).My application needs to store certain variable information in an external text (or XML) file; for example, the file path to shared resources (which may change over time),as well as the specific data fields required by the mainframe system.
My questionsare these: what is considered the best practice for accomplishing such a task, and how would I accomplish it?I am completely new to XML, so I don't even know where to begin, although I am sure that XML is the path to follow for what I am trying to accomplish.

I'm trying to create a program that will read in a custom file similar to a config/INI file and parse the data and store them into variables of a custom class. Essentially I want to be able to read in line by line, split the line by the space and then store the value into a class object's variable with the same name.
For example, I have a class called body.
Public Class body
Dim height As Double
Dim weight As Double
End Class

When I store a binary file in a MS Sql table & then retrieve it & write it back to disk the new file is always 1 byte bigger than the original file, no matter what the file type. Is this normal? The files all open fine in their respective applications, but I'm just wondering where the extra byte comes from & if I'm doing something wrong in my code.

My xml files were looking a bit clumsy when i read them, what i have done now is to save them in the xml in this format:
vb.net <field>{value1|its partner value2}</field>
i noticed {|} this is the format that vb.net uses for arrays, i was wondering if that's an ok way to store things, on retrieval once i get the node value, what would be the best way to break up the {value1|it's partner value2} variables to use, explode the | and get parts (0) and (1)?

In the program I'm working on, there is a 'sign-in' form that pops up for the user to enter first name, last name, and DOB. What I want to do is STORE that information in a text file for FUTURE use by the program (i.e. displaying a list of all previous users of the program).I already know how to use streamwriter to write text to a file, but I would like for the text file to be stored within the program files and also for a new user's data to be appended to that file every time.
Do I simply add the text file to the project files? When I do that, its path is 'My Documents'. How will that affect the program when I publish it? I guess I just don't yet understand what happens when the program is finished and published. The code for the 'Submit' button on the sign-in form is pasted below. At the bottom, I've put a comment to indicate where I want to store the data to a file.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim TxtBox() As String = {TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text}
For i As Integer = 0 To 2
If TxtBox(i) = Nothing Then

I have an application that gathers data from a SQL database that is used by a 3rd party helpdesk application.My application is pulling out information of the number of hours worked by each engineer for the current and previous 2 months.Also as part of this process, my application works out the target hours for each of those months.
My application has 3 groupboxes whose label is generated at runtime. My application gives the Groupbox1.text the name of the current month, Groupbox2.text the name of the previous month, and Groupbox3.text the name of the month before that (e.g. Mar, Feb, Jan).
What I am trying to do is have 2 text boxes for each month where I can enter the number of engineer holidays taken and the number of public holidays if any. I want to store these values in an XML file, and I guess they need to be stored to match the Groupbox text (i.e. Mar, Feb, Jan).
When the application starts, I need to parse that XML file and re-populate the text boxes with those number of days - BUT if the month has moved on, so that the Groupboxes are now called Apr, Mar, Feb then I want the Mar and Feb data to be loaded, and I want the XML file to be updated so that Apr is added and Jan is removed from it.I want the XML file to keep the current and previous two months figures only.

I'm rewriting a legacy application in .NET. In the earlier version, I used a few control .INI files that could be edited by the advanced user to provide variation in certain program options. (The program also permitted override of these same variabes via menus and such.) I used the API functions to read the .INI files and rewrite them to alter the user's environment for subsequent runs.

I'm trying to read data from a text file with multiple records and fields separated by tabs to store into arrays, which I later want to output into a textbox on the form. The problem is that with the code I've written, when I debug it it exits the sub procedure when it enters the first loop where the parser is reading the text file. There are no error messages, it just exits? I'm not even sure if what I've written is possible. Here's what I've written so far:

Here is what I would like to do:
- Store string data from a 'sign in' form into a text file. This text file must be one that is saved even after the user exits the program. The text file must also be one that will stay with the program even after it is published (executable).
- Be able to write to/read from the file for purposes of displaying some or all of that data on a form.
I use an Application Setting to do this - of type 'Specialized String Collection'. I tried this, but for some reason I could not get it to work. It was a good idea, but I need to be able to SEE the data that has been saved, and with a setting it seems like that is not easily done. I've decided that I either need to use a simple text file or a 1-table database for this. I would prefer just a text file, but in either case, it needs to be part of the .exe when published.
I have added a text file to my project, but I am not sure if it will be "included" in the project when I publish it. The path of the file I've added is in 'My Documents', but in my code, I will have to specify the path in order to use Streamwriter. How will this affect the program when I publish it? I felt the need to make a new thread because on my last one we had been mainly talking about settings, and I've decided that isn't the best option for me.
