View 20 RepliesI am writing an app that reads from the com port, filters the data, then writes to the text box, then immediately starts over. This all takes place in an endless " do while" loop within the "start" button code. I also have a end button too which closes the com port and ends the program. Some other buttons are present also to change the filter settings.Problem is when I click start, data is logged, but none of the other buttons work. Also some of the text boxes are "see through" and dont look like thy have updated with the rest of the form.

Im trying to buffer data being written to a device on a com port. The equipment attached to it does not use any form of flow contol and if you write to much information to quickly it falls over. So I have had the following thoughts.
I would create a list of strings and when I wanted to write data to the com Port I would just add the string to the list. I would then have a Sub running its own thread to step through the list, write the string to the com port ,pause a fixed amount of time, remove string from list and repeat until the list is empty. Then keep looping the above.
Code I have so far is below
Private MsgList as new List (of string)
Private sub MsgPump ()
Do
[Code]....
THis does work but If I add strings to MsgList to quickly it throws an exception.
I want to create a tiny program that writes itself. VB.
Basically, I start it off with the smallest coding possible. Then, I want it to be able to automatically generate buttons, forms, labels by itself. I want it to compile another version of itself, and to test if it worked. I want it to in someway to be able to ask the new application if it works, and if it does to close both and to run the newer variation, then to repeat this process. I guess this is kind of like a self-manifesting application that keeps growing; an AI perhaps. Is this possible?
I am needing to write to a "rtf" file, and always insert my text on line 3 of either a new or an existing rtf document.I'm familiar with vb, but have not done much with the system.io functions. I have been testing several examples from the internet using the streamreader and streamwriter but still having issues finding a way to "insert text" on a specified line number. My questions:
1)I will always need to write on line #3, do I need to read all lines as this example shows "lines.AddRange(System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C :/test/myrtffile.rtf"))"

trying to write to c:windowssystem32 on a windows 7 x64 machine, but the application keeps writing to c:windowssyswow64 instead. I have heard of windows interpreting commands and modifying them to be what microsoft "thinks" you are trying to do.when dealing with 32 bit apps running on a 64 bit os.the line of code im using is:
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:WindowsSystem32dbcon9x64TEST.dll", My.Resources.dbcon9X64)
the issue is I need to write files to both c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssyswow64 ....the files need to have the same name.
I'm launching my application at the end of installation using custom installer class - Sub oncommited.I'm using vb 2005 setup project.The application main form load event need to read/write values from HKCUSoftwareMyApp registry.The problem is that when the application is launched at the end of installation ,it reads/writes from HKEY_Users.DefaultSoftwareMyApp instead of HKCU though I've written
My .Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(RegKey).GetValue("Name","")
When the application is launched through Program files shortcut,it reads/writes properly.I need to exit the application depending on registry values.
My application writes to the event log if there is an error or other status updates.
The application checks to see if there is an event source named "applicationName"and if not, it creates the source (see code below).
This works fine if the user is an administrator.
If the user is not an administrator, an error is thrown when SourceExists is called:
{"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."}
In my environment, the typical user is NOT an admin. Therefore, I cannot use the event log in my application.
Is there a way around this, or is the event log effectively useless for distributed applications?

I have a program that currently takes data and writes it to a MS Excel spreadsheet. (automatically opens the program, creates the cells, and fills them with data)
I would like to add an additional feature to my program that offers support for OpenOffice.org's 'Calc' spreadsheet program. (so users without MS Excel can use the application) So I am basically asking if anyone knows how to automate OpenOffice 'Calc' from VB.net. (I am using Visual Studio 2005)
I have searched on the OpenOffice forums but no one seems to know the vb.net code for this. So I was wondering if anyone here has done this, or would know how to do this.
how can I let VB.Net writes an excel 2007 file? For example, the data in a TextBox will be written to the excel file every 30 seconds.The enviroment is VS2008, .Net 3.5.I've just started VB for one month, so please give me a piece of code to help me understand. I tried to find the solution on the Internet, but none of the codes worked for me, some people mentioned import "Microsoft.Office.Interop" in the code, but if do that in my code, VS said that "Namespace or type in the Imports 'Microsoft.Office.Interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases."

View 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble with the SerialPort class I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on. Specifically, writing to the port appears to work without incident. However, reading data is proving problematic. Initially I thought it was my hardware, but testing suggested the fault lied in software. I was able to confirm this with the installation of a loopback device on the port. It tends to be missing bytes, inserting bad bytes, and shifting bytes randomly.
