Plugin Which Is Dependent On Main Program?
Jan 23, 2012
I have developed an application with a plugin architecture using interfaces. I realized that when I release the API for 3rd party plugin development, someone would be able to create a loader program to replace my main program quite easily. Is there any way I can make the plugin dependent on my main program? All my main program does is get an icon and a description of the plugin from the DLL plugin (using the interface) and then calls the dll's interface function to create and display the form.

For many Java games/programs I use, you can download plugins/mods. Now I'm wondering if this is possible in VB?

I have a solution with more than one project and the main project contains buttons to open forms from different projects that are in the same solution. Say Project1 is the main project and Project2 is the different project that gives the following error when i compile it:
Error 3 'Sub Main' is declared more than once in 'SystemInformation': SystemInformation.Program.Main(), SystemInformation.My.MyApplication.Main(Args() As String) System Information II
I have already seen other threads with this question but it does not work for me because i have more than one project.For Project2: Application Framework is disabled and the startup object is "SubMain".

Recently i bought the book by Troelsen about VB and the net and tried to run the programs e.g.:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
EntryPoint.Main()
[code]....
I had to add the first sub "Main" otherwise it would not run. Is it possible to do without that sub in the way member OLiver does in the examples he provides?

I recently started learning how to use visual basic and whenever i try and make programs (aided by microsoft tutorials), it says in the error section: Sub Main missing from (my programs name).

Is it possible to use a sub Main() to start you're application rather than a form, if so how? Also how do you implement the cmd commands such as "[application path here]program.exe colourclicker" The above command would start the program but would only show a certain form.
EDIT Is there another way other than unchecking the 'Enable Application Framework' checkbox? (As this disables XP Styles and uses the ugly classic windows styles)

My software will simulate a few hundred hardware devices, each of which will send several thousand reports to a database server.Trying it without threading did not give very good results, so now it's time to thread.Since I am load testing the d/b server, some of those transactions will succeed and a few may fail. The GUI of the main program needs to reflect this. How should the threads communicate their results back to the main program? Update global variables? Send a message? Or something lese?
Now, if I update only at the end of each thread then the GUI is going to look rather boring (and I can't tell if the program hung). It might be nice to update the GUI periodically. But that might cause contention, with threads waiting for other threads to update (for instance, if I am writing to global variables, I need a mutex, which will block each thread which is waiting to write).
I'm new to threading. How is this normally done? Perhaps the main program could poll the threads, instead of the threads iforming the main program?

I have an application I've written for some of the people at work and there is one bug that I have no idea how to solve. The application is multithreaded so that the main form can be updated with new information as it comes in. Throughout execution, several other forms come up as well (one at a time).Every so often I get reports that the program freezes. When I check out the program it looks like the main form is not being updated(checkboxes are see through, textboxes are blank) and the main form can't be moved around. This only seems to happen sometimes when the program is left for long periods of time (+30 min) and only on the released .exe and never in the debugger(as of yet). I've tried leaving the program running overnight and it had no problems.

I want to launch a bunch of threads, each performing the same task, and know in main() when each finishs and it if it was successful or failed.The solution offered was to use a ConcurrentQueue, but other posts have recommended using a BackgroundWorker Class, or a thread pool.Is there a definitive answer?Again, all threads perform the same code and have a pass/fail result. I want to run more than there are available threads so as soon as one thread finishes I will launch another asap - I want tehm to stress a remote systems as much as possible (reather than stressing my local PC with too many threads, so I will need to experiment to determine the optimal number of threads).

I feel like the answers I seek are rather obvious so I feel silly for having to ask, but I just can't seem to figure this out (I'm new to threads, and am really only comfortable using them in Java at the moment). I have an Excel Addin application created with VB.NET, and I've noticed that occasionally while it's running some code (it's no one specific block of code) the program execution will just stop. This is especially problematic when I've set ScreenUpdating to False for Excel because the users then have to completely close out of Excel to get ScreenUpdating to true.

I have a spreadsheet that has two columns (A and B) - Column A contains Month/Year and column B contains sales. I would like a bit of vba that will look in column A to find the month/year then calculate from column B the average sales for that period. So for example:
Date Sales
Jan 11 500.00
Jan 11 250.00
Mar 11 152.00
Apr 11 116.00
So in other words there can be a number of lines with the same date/year and the code will need to identify these and average all sales from column B associated with that particular date. I would like the output to appear in a summary table showing the total average sales for each particular month - perhaps this could be output to a new sheet?

I have developed an application in VB.net which uses R Programming language. The library that help connect VB.net to R is called R-DCOM. The application requires the user to install R-Programming language into the user's computer. The application was working all fine until there was a version change in the R-Programming language. The specific libraries involved with this are: Interop.STATCONNECTORCLNTLib.dll, Interop.StatConnectorCommonLib.dll and Interop.STATCONNECTORSRVLib.dll. It also uses StatConnectorClnt.tlb, StatConnectorSrv.exe and StatConnLib.tlb to run the application. Is this something related to "DLL hell". Is there a fix to that I may not have to recompile and install the original code and install them to the user's computer all over again.

There are several times in my code when I need to determine the width of some text. Under VB6 I would use the .textwidth() method pretty much any time I wished.Under VB.NET it appears that the paint event is the only place I can gain access to an initialized graphics object and from that the measurestring() method.Do I have to use a flag in the paint event when want to auto-resize my splitterbar position or is there another way?

how you populate cascading comboboxes? I have one combobox on one form, from which I'm trying to populate another combobox on another form. The first combobox contains Locations while the second combobox contains offices for whichever location is selected in the first combobox. I would like it to work as follows: user clicks on first combobox to select a location, and then the second combobox lists all the offices for that location.As of right now, the second combobox is just displaying the first office that is in the first record for the respective database table it is pulling from.

How I can populate a combobox (combobox2) based on the selection made from another combobox (combobox1)? They are on different forms. Combobox1 lists locations, while combobox2 lists offices for each location. I would like it to work so that when the user clicks on combobox1 and makes a selection, the 2nd form loads with combobox2 showing all the offices for the selected location.

So I am working on a project for class. I first hit a bump when I could not figure out how to get this to count the number of times the button was clicked. Now I have hit a road block. Here is what I have so far (I stopped where I couldn't get it to work):[code]How can I get this to remember variables which were completely dependent upon the count?The project is asking for 5 prices entered 1 at a time, clicking the button ("Include Price"). After each number is enter, I am supposed to be getting the largest, lowest, and average of the numbers.
