Taking Screenshots Violates Privacy / Data Protection Law?
Jun 9, 2009
In my VB6 programs (internal to our organzation) I have always liked taking screenshots upon the occurence of an error to give me more clues as to its cause but somehow I have read somewhere that it may be in violation to some law (privacy / data protection).In the project I am currently developing and it will be for marketing I have used the same method but upon reading about the warning I am now somehow hesitant to use it although it has proved useful in the past.

I'm working on a program which will allow users to take screenshots of full screen games, such as Call of Duty, Battlefield 3, etc. However, I'm having two issues with my code. First off, I'm having to press the shortcut twice, instead of once like my other shortcuts. This only occurs when the code below is actually in the handling sub. If I just have a messagebox show when the shortcut is pressed, it works every time. Second, whenever I take a screenshot, it either comes out completely black, or takes a shot of my desktop, even though there is a game running in the foreground. I have looked around, and it seems that printscreen is the only way to get a screenshot of a game through vb.net.
My code is below.
Private Sub game_Press(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As Shortcut.HotKeyEventArgs) Handles gamewindow.press
Dim gamewin As RECT
If GetWindowRect(GetForegroundWindow, gamewin) Then
Dim bmp As Bitmap
[CODE]...

I'm presently creating an application which uses Access2007 as the database. No problem there. But Since most use Excel for data-entry, i've created two tables in access linked to excel source file. Any change in excel will reflect in Access database and subsequently in my Application . Until now my application only reads the database and displays records in DataGridView. These records, i then export to excel along with other formatting for direct printing as a report as I have no idea how to make report. Now i want to add data-entry capability to my app using password-protection user-access. So i can directly add new record to source file. Also need to know if There's any way of eliminating Access from the picture entirely....

I have a pretty simple VB program (2008) that essentially works like an informational Kiosk. It has a few buttons to navigate to certain web pages. But I need to be able to protect the information that has been submitted to previous web pages so that another user can not find out that information. How can I disable the ability for a user to navigate back in the web browser? My code is basically just on-click events:Private [URL]..

I'm watching tutorials about creating Web Site and about controls.I think I added SQL Database to the project (it's not empty) properly. Suppose it has two columns: FirstName, LastName.I have TextBox1, TextBox2 and Button1 on the web site form.I enter any integer number (5, 10, 15 or whatever) into TextBox1. I want to press Button1 and get a value of 5th person (10th, 15th or whatever) from SQL Database into TextBox2.Who can help me with that? Should I read about ADO.NET and use something from there?Later I want to use VB for work with that strings.

I am wondering how I can select and pull specific bits of data from a block of information a user pastes into a textbox. For example, the information has fixed words and is always in the same format, but the numbers relating to the words may be different. One report might say, for example, Cars: 1.176 and another may say Cars: 863. How do I pull the information about the "cars" from a the block of text with the number value even though it can be different each time?
I must note that there are many many of these scattered throughout the average report and I need to pull the values of each of them in a single click, then paste those values into a different area on the form.

I am making a booking system. I am using same form for insertion and updation. How can I update by taking the values from the textboxes. For example if the user enters value for just 2 out of 8 fields then How can i update just 2 fields without affecting the rest of the record. I mean to say that if I use a single update query using all the fields then if some textbox is left empty then it will replace the database field value by null or something else.

I got this error message when I only typed about 60characters. I have no idea why this happened to me since I have my address datatype set to varchar(100), I even had it set to varchar(MAX) at one stage but that made no difference. May I know what I've done?

For example, when i was installing Skype, screenshots of Skype appeared during the installation. How would i make that during my installation, with images appeared and disappeared just like skype. I know i could use code to bring back and front, but that is not how i wanted it to be. I tried that code before, but doesnt look good enough.

I'm looking for visual basic.net code (for visual basic express) to take automatic screenshots (timeout=60 seconds) for application testing. But every code has a lot of bugs:For example: [URL]Errors like:
Error 1 'Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(disposing As Boolean)' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
Error 2 'Private Sub InitializeComponent()' has multiple definitions with identical signatures.
Error 3 'components' is already declared as 'Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer' in this class.

I have a screencasting program where it takes 10 screenshots every second and saves it to a temporary directory then through ffmpeg the series of images are compiled into a video format. My problem is that due to the computers processing power or the size of each screenshot and its quality it sometimes takes longer than 100 Milliseconds to create one causing the whole video to be off balance. How can I ensure 100% that 10 Images will be stored?

Basically I have created a windows service using VB 2008 where I am trying to capture screenshots periodically.
The timer is working fine and I have tested this.
The purpose of the service is to monitor the desktop over night when the user is logged off, by capturing screenshots and saving them to file. This is so admin can be alarmed about security breaches etc.
The problem is is that I have not found a way to capture desktop screenshots as a windows service (or otherwise) while the windows logon screen is active (i.e: when the user locks the computer). I have used google extensively but to no avail

I have several controls on aWinForm (VS2010) which are bound to an SQL database table via a Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter (all bindings created via the IDE). When i try to update the daatbase table with changes made in the form controls using:
Me.QuoteHeaderBindingSource.EndEdit()Me.QuoteHeaderTableAdapter.Update(Me.BurdensCRMDataSet.QuoteHeader)
I'm getting the following error message: Cannot set column 'SalesTeam'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column Now on the surface the problem would seem self explanatory and the solution quite obvious. However i'm not changing the 'salesTeam' data, so it's exactly the same as it came out of the database and consequently it must be the same length. the data is two characters, the database field is a Char(2) data type and the datatable field has MaxLength = 2. So i can't see what's causing the problem or what i can do to resolve it
I've tried changing the data in the relevant textbox to just one character, but it still throws up the same error I've tried changing the SalesTeam DataTable field to MaxLength = 4, but it still throws up the same error I've tried reconfiguring the TableAdapter, but it still throws up the same error
I know my code is good because it works for other datatables that other controls in the same form are bound to. I'm I doing something wrong or missing something obvious or has anyone come up against this before

Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height)

But after 30 seconds I see an ArgumentException on the second line...
Does anyone have a solution or an alternate method of capturing the screen like this?
