View 2 RepliesI am trying to figure something out. I have an application in which I am adding the ability to consume a feed. I have no problem with the feed itself, but my problem is how can I mark certain items as 'read'? The only thing I can thing of is to read the feed into a database. In this database, I add a column for 'read' which I update when the user has read the article. Then each time I retrieve the feed, I compare the feed to the database and only load new items into the database.
View 2 RepliesI am looking for a code snippet which opens a image, creates a clone of this bitmap in memory disposes this opened image so that all handles are closed.
Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation)
Using Block also doesnt work.
I am having trouble extracting the response XML from an XMLHTTP request.
I am currently subscribed to a RSS Feed, [URL]
The code I have only retrieves the first 20 posts rather than all of the 133 posts that I see.
I am linking the problem to cookie settings. I seem to think that the request I am sending is not incorporating the cookie settings that I have on my computer.
You may have to subscribe to a feed to extract more than 20 posts. The standard for RSS feeds (without subscriptions) only allows a user to view 20 posts, HOWEVER, with subscription, the feed's number of posts grows.
Provided is the code I have implemented so far
Sub tester()
Dim xmlreq As MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim xmldoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim strurl As String

I'm semi new to visual basic, and I wanted to know if it is possible to make an RSS feed in visual basic that updates through a homepage that I give a link to and will post the information about the homepage in a text box or in seperate labels and perhaps have them link to the feed it is getting the info from.

I am using IIS 5.1 on server 2000. I have set the asp.net page for custom error in IIS which is directing to C:InetpubwwwrootCustom_ ErrorIIS_Error.aspx. Custom error page appears when user keyin wrong password for 3 times.When i access the error page directly (for testing) from my laptop using following URL then i can see the page text and the text box.
//192.168.0.10/Custom_Error/IIS_Error.aspx
But when user keyin wrong password for 3 times, system shows the custom error page with text only and doesn't show the asp.net controls.Also, is there any way to show the local path from where the user has been redirected to the custom error page? For an example; we have got 10 folders under website called TestWeb, so when the user is accessing folder number (3) called webtest3 and custom error page should show webtest3 on the page.Can i do it either on asp.net or on asp classic page?
I am reading data from an API feed and saving the chunks into files. When the files reach 2 MB I start a new file and write to that file. What happens now is that an entry (<entry></entry>) can get cut off at the end of a file and continues into the new file. I try and reconstruct the files by taking the last entry and combining it with the first entry of the next file but this is tedious handling the data transmission and file creation.
Do
timestamp = DateTime.Now
numbytesread = responseStream.Read(bufferread, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)
If numbytesread > 123 Then
'timestamp = DateTime.Now
responseData = Encoding.UTF8.GetString

How do I consume my WordPress blog's RSS feed to display my latest blog posts on my homepage? I ran into the following piece of code to do this:
Function GetRSSFeed(strURL as String) as DataTable
'Get the XML data
Dim reader as XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(strURL)
[Code]....
But it errors out at this line: 'ds.ReadXml(reader)' with the following error:
A column named 'comments' already belongs to this DataTable.
Perhaps it doesn't work since this code is from 2003? Does anyone have a working code sample?

I need to create a application in vb.net that puts out those cool <<Subscribe to ical>> links, which I can prefill with our events and milestones. While I have figured out I need to use DDay.ical.dll to get the events into a .ics file, I am not clear about how to get these to publish. I was thinking of using an RSS feed, but that defeats the purpose of using icals and would require a RSS to ICal converter,which seems unnecessary.

View 1 RepliesWorking on some UI stuff, but I am having a problem drawing 'Top rounded' rectangles when the two top corners are rounded. I have methods to draw all four corners rounded and bottom rounded rectangles and they render fine.
I have attempted the graphics methods in CreateTopRoundedRect() in a variety of different orders, drawing the other corner first, the bottom line first, the bottom line before the left line, etc. In this function you can see a diagonal line splitting the shape. If you were to switch the bottom and left lines only half of the shape would be filled.

View 1 RepliesI have created an RSS Feed Reader using Visual Basic that displays a list of the news item titles in a tree view style and its link when the '+' icon is clicked.

I'm trying to bind UI controls to a business object exposed as a property on an ASP.NET page in a null-safe manner.Using the 'If' operator is null-safe, but results in compiler error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30201: Expression expected.Using 'IIf' succeeds, but isn't null-safe. I've tried both the render expression syntax ('<%= %>') binding expression syntax ('<%# %>'), but there was no difference.Can someone explain this inconsistency and perhaps provide an alternative?
Sample code:
This works:
<%=IIf(Me.Foo Is Nothing, "", Me.Foo.Id)%>
This throws the compiler error:
<%=If(Me.Foo Is Nothing, "", Me.Foo.Id)%>

View 5 RepliesI have a web application that works in our stage/test environment fine but once we moved it to our production environment something weird happens. All the control ids change. a label went from ctl00_cphMainContent_lblPetName to _ctl0_cphMainContent_lblPetName. Why would this happen? What could cause something like this to happen. The only two differences I know of are the production environment has HTTPS and I've disabled debugging.
View 3 RepliesI'm wondering what the best way to render a scene made up of multiple-sized tiles, from back to front, with different heights. [code] Objects are sorted based on not their initial X/Y value, but their X/Y+Height value. That way, objects are rendered based on where they 'touch' the playing field. E.g., X/Y = top of a tree object, X/Y = trunk of the tree object.People (including the player) will be just normal map objects that get rendered and updated within a huge sorted list every frame. Right now, fudging around with my code allows my Player (32x64 pixels) to stand infront of a building but has her feet get overlapped with a patch of grass, which doesn't work. However, changing the sorting algorithm makes the player disappear in the building but you can see her feet.Also, should my players be included with the list of map objects? Granted, these will only be graphical representations of their data stored elsewhere (won't be cleared when map changes), or should I throw them into a whole new rendering list (which might open whole new problems). url...From what he says, he has 4 different layers and then draws the actor between Layer 3 and 4, with layer 4 being objects that will always appear on-top of the person.So, it appears that his player isn't a map object but an actor rendered separately from everything else.
