String With FileGet - Class That Pulls The ID3 Information From An MP3 File
Nov 17, 2008
I have a class that pulls the ID3 information from an MP3 file. This information is at the very end of the file in plain ASCII. The original author is using FileGet to retrieve just the last 127 characters of each mp3 file. The issue is that this information is put into strings declared like this...
Public strTag As New String(" ", 3)
Public strTitle As New String(" ", 30)
Public strArtist As New String(" ", 30)
[CODE]...
This part all works fine. But I'm trying to code a property that returns a string like this...
return strTitle & " - " & strArtist
But for some odd reason it is being very strict about the length of the returned string. It usually just returns the strTitle, and not the " - " or strArtist, and if I switch the positions, it will just return strArtist. So obviously both Strings have information in them.
I'm an intermediate programmer, but just breaking into VB.NET. I'm not sure what the New String(" ",30) part does, but it is definitely interfering with the string concatenation that I'm trying to return. Anyone ever had a similar issue?
I've tried String.Copy, String.Concat, etc. I've also tried doing ReadtoEnd(), but it takes forever for just 10 mp3 files, so I can't imagine how long it would take with a whole library. The only thing that slightly works is if I do... return strTitle.SubString(0,5) & " - " & strArtist.SubString(0,5)
But like I said, coincidentally it will only return around 30 characters.

I am building a program using VS 2010.It needs to be a set of forms that allows a manager to log in so that data entry people can enter in data based on another form.I also need to create a hot key set up that pulls up another form so that a supervisor can pull up the information that employees have entered.I have my solution file that I can put up for a download if needs be to see what I'm talking about. I don't think it should be that hard to make this program work.

I am creating a reporting app that pulls information off of a Sql database and populates the data in a datagridview control (DVG). I am using tab pages (Tabcontrol), and I have about 10 tabs with within the control. What I have done is created a dynamic control that will populate in each tab page once the tab is selected. I am using a split container and in my split container.panel 1 is where all my buttons and search functionality will be. In my split container.panel2 to is where the main DGV control will be. I have got this to function properly, however now I am unable to add anything to my split container.panel1. I would like to add diffrent labels and buttons in the panel1 one without putting another panel on top of the split container.panel1, and also if i do this when I resize my container the panel will just sit there. I am using the selected index changed event to get my split container to show in each of the diffrent tabs
Private Sub searchTab_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles searchTab.SelectedIndexChanged
searchTab.TabPages(searchTab.TabPages.IndexOf(searchTab.SelectedTab)).Controls.Add(splitContainer1)

Let's say that you have a texbox labeled TexBox2 and you don't want it to be seen when the program runs because TextBox1 pulls information from TextBox2 and it shows up inside of TextBox1. How would you go about doing this?

I must search a binary string for a pattern. This worked fine in VB6 using Get to read a file into a string and using InStr to search for the pattern. The conversion from VB6 to VB.NET changed Get to FileGet and warned of new behavior, but I don't see anything in the FileGet documentation about not being able to read 0 value bytes.
I don't mind at all changing to a new method, but ultimately I must get the data into a string rather than an array.

I am a sys admin for a company and our programmer left several months ago. a program they wrote is now failing and i am struggling to work out why. the program basically pulls data from a csv file into a readable form, written in visual basic. the application works on a couple of machines but not on a couple of others. i have matched up .Net framework versions, MS Primary Interop Assembly versions, still no joy. As the app works on some pc's i am wondering what other differences could cause this?
The error output is:
see the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
Exception Text
CODE:
JIT Debugging
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.
For example:
CODE:
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.

In VB6 I can open a file for binary read/write and then use Put and Get to write Type structures straight to disk and subsequently retrieve that information straight from disk and right back into the structure. The syntax is pretty straightforward, and it works fast and without flaw.
In VB.NET I've tried the same thing. But in absence of a "Type" variable, I've tried using Structure ... End Structure, which should basically be the same thing.The problem is, though we can write the structure to disk:
Dim FileNo as Integer
Dim FilePath as String
FileNo = FreeFile()
FilePath = "C:TestFile.dat"
[code]....
I need to create an extremely large and complex structure that will be used in a whole slough of ways, and when all work is done I need to write that structure straight to disk using a binary mode. When that information is needed again, I need to be able to get it back just the way it was saved and continue working with it again. The basic outline of the concept is illustrated above, which works--as I mentioned above--flawlessly in VB6.

I have created a class called clsTest, this contains the sub "logInfo", when this is called within another class (e.g. "clsOther") some information about the other class is logged to a file.
I want clsTest to be able to get some general information about clsOther, specifically it's type and/or the sub/function that called the "logInfo" sub in clsTest. I could pass these as additional arguments in the "logInfo" subroutine but I was wondering if it was possible for clsTest to know what had invoked it (or any other class for that matter).

I have one table here with a list of UserIDs, Users, and ClientCodes.Each user can be assigned a client code to view that client's data else where.Right now I have to change it for everyone via SQL Server and actually going into the table manually, but I'm trying to make a simple little program that will let the user change it themselves.All I need is a textbox that pulls the user based on a certain UserID from the table, and a drop down list that will not only show the current ClientCode they're set to, but allow me to change it and save that change to the table in the database.What's the best way to go about this? I tried using the wizards but I guess that's not the best way to go about it.I have it displaying the correct user and their current ClientCode but that's about it.

I've got a bunch of DLL projects that I'm pulling into my application, each contains their own Settings.settings/app.config. When I compile the app and run for debugging, everything works just fine, but come deployment time I can't get my DLLs to read their own settings files.I've been doing some reading and it has become apparent that there's a couple of methods to getting each dll to read its own configuration - one is to dedicate a .dll.config to the library and the other is to embed the dll's configuration in the process.exe.config.I'm having significant issues trying to implement either and I wondered if anyone has any good docs on this - there appears to be a shortage on the Net.
I'd like a separate .dll.config for each of the libraries if possible, but in a pinch, getting each of my libraries to read their own section of the process.exe.config will he right direction because I'm so close to rolling this application out but this stumbling block is causing me a significant headache.Edit: When I merge the configuration files, I start getting TypeInitializer exceptions when I initialize objects withing my libraries. This is likely just me being retarded, but does someone have a working example of a merged config file and some basic demonstrative code for reading it from multiple assemblies?

Two of us at our company worked on a VB project. I developed the GUI interface. Another programmer developed some of the Classes that are also part of the project/Solution. Our manager wants to see as part of the 'Help/About' drop down, the version of the GUI application as well as the Class that the other programmer wrote. We are on the third modification of my GUI application, but the 8th version of the class that the other programmer wrote. Is there some way that the GUI application can get the 'Assembly Version' information for a class that may not necessarily exeuting at any given time?

I have a collection of objects (classes I created), and each one ties to a record in a database. I want an easy way to update the information, so I thought about declaring a record in the class, that would tie to the record on the database. However, I'm having a problem updating it now.
1) Can I declare a global variable for the data context, and leave it open the entire time the program is running? This would solve my problem, but I don't know if I can do that.
2) If not, besides coming up with a complicated class to do this, is there an easier way? Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
VB.NET
Public C as Record
Public Sub GetValue()
Dim SQL As New DBDataContext
Dim X = From T in SQL.Records Select T

I am in the process of prototyping a small sockets application, which monitors IT infrastructure (due to in-house financial and deployment restrictions, I am unable to utilise an existing commercial or open-source solution). Basically, I have a server application and associated agent process for communicating heart-beat data to the server. The server application implements a TCP socket class (TCPDevice), which is called from a WinForm. I am aware of the restriction on updating the UI from processes running on separate threads, and that the preferred technique for acheiving this is via the use of Delegates in conjunction with the Invoke method. Having had very little need previously for using Delegates (apart from of course std windows events and the BackGroundWorker control), I am at a loss as to how to do this in the context of my application, and would appreciate some assistance, although it has occurred to me that I could use the backgroundworker for marshalling updates to the UI.
Eventually the application will need to update a grid of devices via feeds from the defined agents, however for the purpose of this exercise simply updating a status bar on the UI will suffice. The section of the code which I believe is relevant to propogating the code to the form is contained in the OnDataReceived method.Below is a code excerpt from the protoype app which should put the above into appropriate context:
Code from the form:

I think VB has a way of doing this, but for the life of me I can't find it. I want to search through a string for anything contained between two certain characters, e.g between 2 | characters. I'm not sure if I want to split the string at this point, but I only want anything contained between the two | markers. So for example if the string reads |ABC|DEF I only want to retrieve the ABC, but not the DEF as it's not completed yet.
