View 3 RepliesIve come up with an issue in a program im making, hoping someone might have a clue. Basically I want to enable meta gaming into a ORPG I play. Obtaining all the meta gaming was easy enougth to do, now I have to add it into the game (Microsoft Freelancer) But ive run into a problem.I don't have a clue how. Basically, Microsoft Freelancer has a "chatbox" and I want to pass skype to and from the chatbox using VB.So if I want to type "Hi everyone" into skype, I would type "/s Hi everyone" and theoretically my VB app catches the message and passes it to skype.I can do that part using windows hooks. But when skype chats back, How to post into the game?Ive run a sniffer, But I get data that I have no Idea what it is.0000 80 06 01 00 CD DE 00 00 93 F5 06 00 I do know the ip im sending to and the port, If that helps, And the rest of the program functions, just sending and receiving the chat data is beyond me atm.
View 1 RepliesI've been using the process shown here: [url]
For including images in my database, what i would like to do during the import process is capture some of the meta data to store against fields in my database as well.
In this case we will be using iPhone 4s which i believe capture data in EXIF format.
I did a bit of looking around on my own and apart from: [url]
I have a process that's going to initially generate 3-4 million PDF files, and continue at the rate of 80K/day. They'll be pretty small (50K) each, but what I'm worried about is how to manage the total mass of files I'm generating for easy lookup. Some details:
I'll have some other steps to run once a file have been generated, and there will be a few servers participating, so I'll need to watch for files as they're generated.Once generated, the files will be available though a lookup process I've written. Essentially, I'll need to pull them based on an order number, which is unique per file.At any time, an existing order number may be resubmitted, and the generated file will need to overwrite the original copy.
Originally, I had planned to write these files all to a single directory on a NAS, but I realize this might not be a good idea, since there are millions of them and Windows might not handle a million-file-lookup very gracefully. I'm looking for some advice:
Is a single folder okay? The files will never be listed - they'll only be retrieved using a System.IO.File with a filename I've already determined.If I do a folder, can I watch for new files with a System.IO.DirectoryWatcher, even with that many files, or will it start to become sluggish with that many files?Should they be stored as BLOBs in a SQL Server database instead? Since I'll need to retrieve them by a reference value, maybe this makes more sense.
I'm familiar with VB and Java, and I want to make an application that can pull data from a flash player application on a website.Ideally it would be able to constantly monitor the application and pull changing data from it.

View 7 RepliesHi, I'm just beginning to teach myself how to do OOP in VB 2008 Express. I have a quick question after seeing a video online.Is a VB variable the equivalent of an 'instance' in Flash and a VB object like a 'symbol' in Flash? Is this what it means by a variable being a reference or pointer to an object and not the object itself?

View 1 RepliesI have a website with product pages that are created dynamically depending on the itemws in my database. The site works fine with no errors. I now would like to add Meta Tags to the header.
When the pages are created I would like to dynamically/programmically set the meta tags for that page - Keywords, etc.
How can I add them using VB.Net in Visual Studio 2008. I am using a masterpage for the overall layout if that affects anything.
Is their anyway of getting the meta information of a file?[code]I've been searching Google for over an hour and found very little help.

View 1 Repliesi have a windows form created using vb.net 2005 that allows users to attach files. When the user clicks the AttachFile button, they browse to select a file they want to attach and then the code places the file they selected into a predetermined location. The primary file type they will be attaching is a windows meta file (.wmf).
The attached file is saved and appears as a hyperlink for the user to open at a later time. When the user clicks to open the file, it is suppose to insert it into Autocad; however, it wasn't doing this.
The problem comes from attaching the file using the StreamWriter for some reason its not working correctly. I verified that this is the issue: When i hardcoded the file path to the original file's location, it opens up just fine when clicking the hyperlink. When I compare file size from the original to the one attached, I see that the original is 12Kb and the one I attached is 19Kb.
Here's my code to attach the file: I'm thinking perhaps it has something to do with this line? sReadFile = sr.ReadToEnd() but I'm just not sure. I tried changing this line to sr.Read but that doesn't work either.

How do I Edit and Save Image EXIF / Metadata / FileInfo without using an external DLL?
Project:I'm building an app for personal use to rename, retag, and organize the apocalyptic quantity of images I host on my personal website. As I have been collecting funny pictures and such for several years, there is no real rhyme or reason to the file naming conventions. Ergo, Image0001.jpg needs to be renamed to a descriptive filename, and the Metadata fields need to be filled in.
The desired process will take an existing jpg, gif, png, tiff or bmp and do the following:
load image into memory
convert bmp files to jpgs if needed (for a smaller file size, mostly)
load image tags into ImageData Structure (see below)

[5] Save file with new filename and save all new tag fields.
(Later, I will also be using SQL to build a referential database with links to the online copies of these files to allow for searching by keywords, subject, filename, etc, but that's another layer that's much easier than this one. At least to me.)
Problem:So far, several days of research have yielded almost no measurable progress. Information has apparently been inexplicably hidden behind a bunch of unexpected search keywords. Current Code as is:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.Path
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging[code]........
