Is there a simple sleep function in Visual Basic that doens't involve thread.
Something similiar like there exists in: C: sleep(1);
We also tried this code:Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal milliseconds As Long)' pause for 5 seconds
Sleep 5000 but it didn't work. It gave me this error: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected
I am trying to transfer a very complicated Matlab function into visual basic. It takes a matrix input and gives 4 outputs.
From my own research I found something called Matlab CODER, which can transfer matlab code into C/C++ code, however, this function is too complex for that. So I guess now my question is, it is possible to call my matlab function somehow within VB and store the outputs for use within my VB program?
The matlab function looks something like this:
function [f,x,s,c,l] = mytest(Y,varargin) %Code here... end % function
I'm working on a small freeware application in Visual Studio 2008 Standard that will match geographic data to a geographic position. For this I need some mathemathical functions and one of them is how to detect if a point is inside a polygon. There's a great solution for this from the Microsoft team at: [URL]
but it is in a different programming language that I do not know anything about. How can I use these functions in my program? I'm afraid that if I try to rewrite them in Visual Basic I'll make mistakes that I can't detect. To be complete, I'm not using screen graphics so I really need a mathemathical solution.
I'm doing a baseball program for a class project. And I almost have it complete, but it's giving me a syntax error. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. I'm using two functions to return a value for different type of baseball tickets to the button that calculates them. Here are the instructions 1.)User selects whether to purchase season tickets or single-game tickets 2.) User enters the number of tickets needed and the type of seats based on whether they selected season single-game tickets.3.) User clicks the Compute Ticket Cost Button to display final cost4.) User clicks the Clear Form button to clear the responseI just can't figure out what I did wrong. I know it's something stupid that i'm doing.the errors are happening inside the btnCompute sub routine. with syntax erros on SingleGameCost() and SeasonalCost() line 114 and 118
Public Class Form1 'Global Variables Dim intTicketChoice As Integer
Maybe my questin was too impossible to unerstand, so I figured out how to ask it in more simple way. I suppose it can be best done in Visual Basic simplified code.

So question is how to describe in Visual Basic [Escape_key_was_pressed] function? When user don't hit Escape key, then program must NOT STOP for asking user keypress[Escape_key_press], it must go on with clicking on desktop to the end of program. SteelAce
I am working to make a function that will update the back color of a text box based on multiple variables values. I can write the code to do the calculation, but I am not sure how to make the function realize which text box to update (as I will have about 30 different boxes). Below is the code that I have for each box so far, but I will have quite a few more, and would rather use a function to reduce the amount of code, and also make it cleaner as well.
If sngPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal >= sngPrimaryPropertyTotalCost Then txtPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal.BackColor = ColorProgramLightGreen Else txtPreviousPrimaryPropertyTotal.BackColor = ColorProgramLightRed End If [Code] .....
Or is there a way that I can tell the function that it's updating the text box that call the function in the first place? Say if txtBox1 has updated text and calls the function, then the function 'knows' to update txtBox1, but will update txtBox2 when it's called by txtBox2.
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [strfg].[dbo].[Myfunc] (@MyParam)" Dim myparam As New SqlParameter("@MyParam", a) cmd.Parameters.Add(myparam)
The function (runnig on SQL server) returns a table with four columns, one row.How do I call this function from Visual Basic? cmd.ExecuteScalar() is obviously not correct. In c++ I use a recordset. What is the equivalent in vb? Does anyone have a short example?
"'I'm having an issue sorting out why my code isnt working. When I "step into" it line by line i can get it all to work exactly how I want, however when I actually run the macro i get an subscript error 9. The code basicly sets a .CSV url to a variable "CurrentURL". The code then launches this url which opens a .csv window called table.csv. I want to copy 2 columns off this window and paste it to another document called "MPT_CAPM_v1", then close table.csv. Here is my code the red line is where I believe I'm running into my error.'This macro opens a URL, copies and pastes the price data into the sheet
[Code]...
I think the error may be caused by the fact it takes about 4-5 seconds to open table.csv in excel, and my line of code is trying to select a window that isnt currently open. After I get the error message, table.csv opens up. I've tried Loops & Sleep functions to try to input a delay, but regardless it seems that table.csv will not open until the end of said loop or delay.
I am writing an ASP.NET class that interfaces with an external application. The flow of the transaction between the web server and this application is as follows:My object writes a file to a directory.The outside application detects this file and processes it. This can take between 1-5 seconds.The outside application writes a response file to the same directory.My object detects the response file and parses the results.The 1-5 seconds it can take for the external application to process my file is my problem. The most straightforward way to wait for the file seems to be something like this:
Do While Not File.Exists(f) Thread.Sleep(500) Loop
Of course, Thread.Sleep() completely locks up the rest of my website until the outside application processes the file. Clearly, this is not a workable solution.How can I effectively "wait" for my file to be processed without locking up the rest of my website?
I wrote the below function to sleep, while processing the window events. It works well enough, but I'd like to improve the accuracy of the sleep. Example - If you call it with 10 msec (0.010), it can take up to 15 msec of real time before it exits. How to make it closer to 10 msec?

After the 7th line I need a pause until a submit button pops up on the screen. The submit button is hidden until the getelementbyid.focus is run. I cant use webbrowser_documentcompleted because the submit only unhides itself, and I cant use Sleep() because that just stalls the whole block.
Currently I'm using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) to let my app pause/sleep for some time. This works great but I can't open my app anymore when it's sleeping and it uses about 25% of my CPU. I guess there must be a better way to do this. I also tried using a timer but that didn't work out to well for me..
I need to write a paper on the comparison between (Microsoft Visual studio 2005 to develop web applications using asp.net) and (visual basic and Netbeans to develop j2ee applications using java).I need suggestions for good webpages,journals or documents which can help me out here. I have to write at least 1500 words so any suggestions are welcome.
In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version. If he chooses the premium version, then I want it to say premium in his "receipt" later on and if he chooses standard, then standard in the receipt.
I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and I'm trying to make it so I can click a button to send the application to the System Tray and then click the icon in the System Tray to make the application come back.
Can anyone provide me a method or sample code to do this?
when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.
I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.
I recently loaded my copy of MS Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, with Visual Basic, on to my new laptop, one with a Windows 7 operating system.
