I am engaged in a project to alert Paper out status of printer in screen on top of all other windows. I am new to VB programming... I tried the codes given in Microsoft Support. But it gives many errors as I'm using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.[url]......

View 3 RepliesA new client has recently asked me to develop a Windows service that will monitor whether or not his server has internet connectivity. The service should log when the connection goes down to Local Only and back up to Internet Access as shown in Network and Sharing Center.
My original idea was to have the service ping a website like google every 5 minutes or so, but I don't know how to retrieve the results of the ping, so I then thought I could code a WebBrowser control into it and write the log entries based on the results of connection attempts from that.
This also seems like a rather impractical idea though, so can anyone suggest the best way to go about this?
The below code (VB 2008) will check the print queue every milisecond for a job. It will then show the pagecount in a text box. It works great when im printing to a local printer, but As soon as I change my pc default printer to a network printer, I cant capture any data.

I have searched all over and can not find the printqueue anywhere. I'm using VS 2008 Pro, and .NET 3.5. I'm writting in Visual Basic.I create my document then send it to a previous selected printer. I do not give the user a printdialog I handle all the settings in the code. My problem is when the printer is not online, it triggers an unhandled exception. I would like to check the status of the printer just before the printdoc is sent, so that I can handle what to do when the printer is offline.
View 1 RepliesThe main issue here, whether the ZPL printer is on/off, the status always shows as "Ready", there is no change in the status.made use off couple codes which i googled, but none have turned out to show me the printer status.
Is there any other way to indentify the status of the ZPL printer/ any other alternative [url]...

View 4 RepliesI have printer vendor provided SDK implementing that i can get printer DEVMODE or HDC with correct printer settings.
My questions is:
I am already using printDocument to print the image (System.Drawing.Bitmap). How can send use this HDC or DEVMOD with printDocument.
I already tried using the "PrintDocument.SetDevMode". it seems not be working.
1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages that it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, instead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.
I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which doesn't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating
I have a label printer (Argox 1000-x) and i want to print some datas on it. And this printer is connected to my computer via the COM1 port. I can open/write COM1. And when i send some data to printer through COM1, Label Printer's Ready Signal Led will be ON/OFF. But it does not print anything or any label..

I'd like to be able to specify two different printers for two different jobs. I'm using the following class to handle printing these, but regardless of what I do, the default printer is always the one that's printed to.[code]If I inspect my PrinterSettings attribute immediately before the call to DrawString, the PrinterName attribute is still correctly set to the printer I specify, but it's still the default printer that kicks out the job.

View 2 RepliesI want to create a bandwidth meter for Windows using vb.net, but I cannot seem to find anything in the .net framework for monitoring the amount of data in or out. I want to create this because I cannot find a good one for free, and I think it is something that people might want.If there is nothing in the .net framework for monitoring this, is there some P/Invoke calls I can make? If so, what are they?

View 1 RepliesI am dynamically adding values to list with each pass of a timer and after each pass I'd like to check if the last five elements in the list have similar values. After some time, the values should start to become constant. In other words, it would plateau.I tried to do this. Made sense to me (newbie) but I am getting errors like the bounds of the array are exceeded:[code]The list definitely works and is getting data from X. I thought I needed to ReDim the array but then I'm told ReDim statement requires an array. (ReDim platArray(Number-1)). By the way I'm using VB2008..
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldnt work
View 1 RepliesWe recently have one problem started where we have two processes monitor the same queue, but the diff b/w both is, one does the PEEK only and the other process it as soon as the message arrives (event driven). Do you think that pointing these 2 processes to the same que cause any problems OR are there something special sync things we need to do?
