I'm looking for a book that is pretty much A-Z for LINQ programming from Visual Basic. I am particularly interested in LINQ to SQL. I've found "Programming Microsoft LINQ in Microsoft .NET Framework 4" and while its description sounds interesting, there is no discussion on the book at all . Do any of you have any experience with this book? If so, what do you think of it?
View 3 RepliesI have been working on a project for some time now and I am stuck. I am trying to sense when a navigation software speaks so i can mute the volume of everything else on the computer.
my problem is that i cant properly sense the audio of the software. i am using windows 7 and vb.net. i have done a good amount of research, but i have not come up with an answer.
i am almost positive that i need to intercept the win32api call of the software to trigger the mute that i will use. i dont know how to do this, all the information i can find that is even close to this subject is for 98, nt and 2k.
does anyone know of any books (or websites) that contain information on this subject?
I was wondering what books/items you guys would recommend to read in regards to VB programming and/or programming in general.

View 1 RepliesWhat I'm Not looking for:Now, just to be clear, i'm not looking for VB6 to C#.Net content, as i know there are a few of those out there.Also, I know about that "syntaxconversion table" website, where it compares VB.Net to C# language features in a side by side table. I am not interested in this either, already know about it.I'm also not looking for a converter, which converts C# code to VB.Net and visa versa, i know there are a few websites which do this and already have the addresses.Finally, I'm not looking for a C# book or resource that caters to current programmers, but specifically to VB.Net programmers!
What I Am looking for:To learn C# (VS2008 or preferably VS2010 version) given that i already know VB.Net 10.0 (VS2010)... as there are many things related to .NET that i won't have to learn again if i can find something that will leap me from vb.net to c#, many bits of the CLR, how .NET works etc... since the languages are the same in what they do, and what they use to do them, i don't want to have to re-learn all this again. The only difference is really the syntax, but also how the C# language differs in dealing with certain things, what default expectations/behaviours are in various scenarios etc...
The set of differences and similarities between C# and VB.Net are so unique that neither of these languages likely could share this unique set/combination of differences and similarities with any other language. So my point is, it really needs to be C# for VB Developers oriented, otherwise it'll almost cetainly be inappropriate or a re-hashing!
The problem is in the line that contains address.save(filename) the part address.save is underlined. When I backspace over the save, it gives me the options of what can go there and save isnt one of them. I am coping this out of a book.[code]...

View 3 RepliesI need to develop an application that can search through a book and list out all the pages and lines that contain a given keyword. For books that are split up in some other way, such as a bible which is split up by chapter and verse; they would be able to search for all verses that contain a certain keyword. Or alternatively, search within certain chapters and verses for a keyword. What format should I store the book into? Should it be stored into a SQL database? What format would be easiest for searching as opposed to easiest for storage?

View 2 RepliesI have a 2 DateTimePicker on my design.1 DateTimePicker for Due Date and another 1 DateTimePicker for Date Returned. Now I would like to automatically compute for penalty which is 24 per day just clicking on the Date Returned's DateTimePicker.For example,A student borrowed a book today and the librarian assigned the due date when to return it.
Take note, the date today is 03/23/2012.and the librarian assigned a due date into 03/25/2012 (the exact date when the student should return it).When the student attempts to return the book at 03/28/2012, and the librarian clicks on the Date Returned's DateTimePicker, the penalty will show as 72 and so on and so for.So I am asking on the codes or tips on how should i do it to make this things work?
I have a SQL Server Data Base that I use to keep all my contact information so that I have it in one central location and can easily add more data to it. I want to be able to do two things:
1. Update the Windows Address Book or Outlook Express or Outlook directly from an application on my PC. Add, delete and update contacts and all contact data. Eventually, I would also like to be able to change the options if possible.
2. Update contacts in Blackberry devices directly from a PC application. Again, Add, Delete and Update contacts and all contact data. Currently, I have two Blackberry 9000 Bolds, but eventually I do not want to be limited to only this model, and I will also want to be able to set options on Blackberry devices.
Currently, I update the Windows Address Book with a CSV file created from my Data Base Application and import it using Outlook Express Import. However, Outlook Express will not import or export all fields. For example: Spouse, Birthday, IPAddress, Anniversary and more. I know that these fileds can be updated because the Blackberry Desktop Manager can do it.
It is a pain to have to first Sync Outlook Express with my Data Base and then Sync the Blackberry with Outlook Express. Especially when all fields are not updateable via CSV and the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not map all Outlook Express fields. However, it does map more fields than what are avaliable via CSV which is how I know that it is possible to update more fields in the Windows Address Book.
I use Visual Studio 2005 soon to be 2008 (maybe ) on Windows XP SP 3, 3.0 Ghz intel Pentium IV, and I do know that there is a Blackberry plug-in for VS which I have downloaded but it is not installed (no experience with it nor do I know what it might do to VS).
i need an address book by which one can mailto its selected criterias in vb.net with source code
View 1 RepliesI'm using the book titled "Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET: Tips, Tutorials, and Code".
I'm going through the chapter that has me do data binding by setting the properties of a DataGrid and TextBoxes.
It had me drag a DataAdapter onto the form and had me generate a DataSet. This part works fine. It also had me set the binding through the Text propert of each TextBox. This also works fine as it displays the correct data as the user navigates through the DataGrid.
I think there may be something missing from the code samples in the book because saving the data back to the database is not working and even no errors are reported.[code]...
In my applications I use objects and classes, but when reading SO topics, I have the idea I don't use real OOP principles. For example, I never use inheritance or interfaces. Therefore, I am trying to learn proper OOP (in VB.NET), but I find some concepts quite hard to understand (even after reading a lot about the subjects on SO).So I'm trying to find a book or resource with good practical real-world examples. For instance, I kind of understand examples like using an interface for both Dog and Cat classes when using a EatFood method, but I find it hard to relate it to real-world cases.Ideally these books or resources should cover explanations about:
- when and why to use inheritance or interfaces or abstract classes
- when and why to use private, public, protected, virtual etc.
- best practices in dependency injection /inversion of control
- when to use aspect oriented programming
- using of constructors
- solid principles
- singletons
- encapsulation
Perhaps it's a mix of all kinds of concepts, but I think these are all related to OOP, please correct me if I'm wrong.I would prefer a book/resource with VB.NET examples, but this might be difficult?
