Serial Program Hangs After Short Time
Sep 9, 2011
I'm writing a simple program to retrieve data via the Serial Port. I have a piece of hardware that returns its 14 byte status every time vbCr is written to it. The program works fine except after a few hundred requests the program begins to hang, off and on. Some times for a second some times for longer. I need to update every 25 milliseconds so the hanging sets in quickly. This faster the interval the quicker the problem sets in but no mater how long the interval the problem eventually starts.[code]...

I have a VB.Net 2008 app that I have converted from VB6 which reads data from a weight scale connected to a serial port. I am able to read the received data and display it on the screen, but when I go to Stop the reading and attempt to close the serial port, the app hangs.
Private Delegate Sub ShowWeight(ByVal tWeight As String)
Private Sub comScale_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles

What I am trying to do is allow for my objects to know when their data has changed on the database (so they are able to raise an event to let the user of the object know about the change).After following several tutorials on how to get SqlDependency working, I have finally managed to get it to let me know when something changes (although it also appears to let me know when I make the initial connection to it too, but that isn't a problem as I can work around that).The function that I have which sets up the SqlDependency is;
Public Function getMembers() As List(Of User)
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(_connectionString)
Dim sql As String = "SELECT UserGroupUserID, UserID, GroupID FROM dbo.xtblUserGroupUsers

Occasionally, my website will stop functioning and anytime an ASP page is accessed, the browser will hang for many minutes before bringing up a correctly formatted HTML page with nothing in the tag. It seems to happen whenever more than one person attempts to access an ASP page, but I'm not positive it's isolated to those conditions.
Let me emphasize that the issue does not arise when accessing directories/HTML pages/other files. Only ASP pages are the problem. I am using lunarpages as a host.

I'm trying to make a macro for a game, so I use long spells in a shorter amount of time. I'm having trouble with a lot of things. For starters I get the when I start the programs timer: "A call to PInvoke function". (I'm calling it a hack, but it's not a hack because it doesn't hook into memory addresses, only sends keys when the correct combo are pressed)

I need to count a large amount numbers in short time.As a result the CPU jumps to 40-60% on 4-core PC.Which is extremely high.I have any idea that will lock up the thread for some time, but not actually slow or reduce the amount of files that are allowed to be counted per a giving time period.

I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find any answers on. I wrote two programs in VB2010. Both work great, install and uninstall no problem and I have done this on 4-5 PC's and laptops, all running Win7. A friend saw them and asked if he could use the programs, but when he installed them neither of them would work. All the prereq's were there and he is also running Win7. For some reason all of a sudden his enlarged font reset itself and VIOLA! both programs started working. I have retested this and it fails/works every time.
So my question is, how do I fix this or is it fixable? Is there somewhere in VB where this has to be set to be 'flexible'??

I have a heavily timer tick driven application that seems to randomly just stop on vista/w7 while minimized, sometimes it goes on for hours sometimes just minutes but the end result is same just stops for no apparent reason, the moment i unminimize it it keeps going. This never happens on xp tho where it works perfectly so what might be the problem?

I am trying to make it so that my form application can have hot links to any other program on your computer by simply having the user input the target path of the program and also save that so the user does not have to do it all over again every time.

I've created a multithreaded application that copies data from one directory to another, and I'm having trouble getting it to work properly on clients' computers. All computers running the software have Windows 7 and the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile installed, which is what I've compiled the program for. I have two threads: one does the actual copying, and the other updates the UI on the program. Whenever I run the program on my computer, even if I'm copying 45 GB, for example, it runs fine. However, if I run it on another computer, it will sometimes freeze the entire computer, so then I have to manually shut the computer down in order to use it again. I have been trying to find out why this occurs, but I cannot. Does anyone think he/she can provide me with some ideas as to why this happens and how I can prevent it from occurring?

I'm currently having an issue with VB.Net and Adobe Acrobat. The issue comes from exiting Acrobat but the Windows Taskbar still states that there is an Acrobat.exe process open. I have tried using Marshal.ReleaseComObject(), but it still hangs there. I do not want to have to rely on the "End Process" option on the Task bar in order to remove it.
Below is a snippet of the code that I am try to using:
Try
'Tries To Close Acrobat Application
acrobatApp.Exit()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(javaScriptObj)
[Code] .....
Although I am not sure if this could be a problem - I run a javascript saveAs script on the Acrobat side in order to make a copy of the file. This also could be a reason why it is hanging, but I ruled it out based on basic knowledge of saving files and exiting from other Acrobat/Microsoft Programs. Acrobat only closes when my application ends. (Currently) I am trying to make it consider the case if a user manually closes the Acrobat application.

Our program works fine, until someone locks the computer or the screen-saver pops up (but not ctrl+alt+delete). Once the computer is unlocked/the screen saver is closed, the application stops drawing everything except the title bar, and stops responding to input - it displays a mostly-white window which can't be moved or closed.(Example of application freezing - the mountains are from my desktop background)If we let it sit for about 5~10 minutes, it comes back to life, and doesn't hang again (even after locking the computer/screen saver popup) until the application is restarted.

I've written an algorithm that I believe to be correct for computing prime numbers up to n with the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Unfortunately, this program hangs on really large values of n (try 10 million). Here is what I've written...
Protected Function Eratosthenes(ByVal n As Integer) As String
Dim maxValue As Integer = Math.Sqrt(n)
Dim values As Generic.List(Of Integer) = New Generic.List(Of Integer)
[code]...
How might I speed this algorithm up? Where are my bottlenecks?

I'm having a bit of an issue receiving a stream of serial data and displaying the data real-time in my GUI. I am fairly new to VB.Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have an I2C device (bank of LED's) connected to my Arduino. Using the VB.NET (2010) GUI I request which LED I want on (via buttons) and the I2C device then sends a reply confirming which LED actually turned on (basic feedback). Ok, sounds great right? Here's where I get issues. Well when I try to read the serial data sent to VB and display the real-time stream on the GUI, a) I get a bit of a mess as an output (values are ok, just spewn across GUI) and b) when I select a new LED to turn on, the GUI data does not refresh to this change. The stream being sent from the Arduino is ok, I looked at the data in a serial monitor.

i am making a program in visual basic 2008 and when the program first starts up on acomputer/device i want it to come up with a screen that asks for a serial key. i also only want the serial key (that i give to the person i am giving the program to) to be accepted once.eg. if he copies the program and gives it to another person who takes it home, they have to enter a new one (that i would have to give them). if they enter the same key as person 1, i want to deny access.
