View 3 RepliesI currently develop VB programs on a Dell Dimension 9150 with XP Pro SP3 that I bought in 2006.I use my computer to develop VB 3.0 to VS 2010 programs. I also use Microsoft Office 2007, Expression Studio 4.0 and other email and internet searching and reading.I'm not a game player or music player. I mainly do just development and other utilities to aid in my programming efforts.
I am going to buy another computer and I was wondering what others would recommend as far as how much memory and hard drive space
and which processor to get. I would also like a recommendation as to which operating system to get, Windows 7 I'm sure, but which version?

View 4 RepliesI created a background image for the form with rounded corners. I filled the outer edges and empty space with Lime color (00FF00) and then set the same transparency key in the properties for my form. It worked well, the edges were transparent and the form appeared round-edged. This was accomplished with Visual Studio .NET 2005 on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.The very same application was ported to a different platform. Visual Studio .NET 2005 on Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-bit. All the settings are the same and nothing has been changed. But the transparency effect is not appearing on the Windows XP platform.
View 5 RepliesI search for a grand total of about four hours online for a method of how to get transparency working in labels in VB.NET 2008. After finding nothing but some example that I have no idea how to implement into my project, I have almost given up. Yes, I've heard about setting the parent properties, but in my case it is imperative that I have labels on top of a PictureBox. (Apparently it's not possible through normal means to have transparent labels over PictureBoxes.)I'm losing my patience with VB.NET, even considering switching back to VB6. How could Microsoft make such a stupid decision? Today I decided to use a stupendous workaround and instead of labels, use transparent PNGs of bitmap text. And guess what? It has the exact same problem as the labels when placed in front of controls! The transparent background has been set to the colour of the form's background!
View 5 Repliesmy team is working on an application where we have to have one image which is acting as the base of all the elements on the screen.. and this same image has a transparency in the center. now this centre transparency is supposed to display a picture which will be captured from a web cam.currently everything working fine but the only problem which we are facing is that the picture is not proportionate to what is the actual resolution that it was shot at. it has been stretched from the top and bottom. the reason is that the imagebox which has been used to call this webcam display is a aquare.now it seems that the team is not being able to use the exact proportions of the image to call it in the picturebox for a reason that the final image needs to be cropped to fit in a circle.in simple words, i have a rectangular image and i want to draw a circle over this image. whatever is within the circle should be visible, whatever is outside the circle should be transparent. (a mask needs to be created...)but the only thing is that this circle will first display the image/video from the web camera and only once the picture is clicked, it should show the same picture within this circular area.

View 4 RepliesHas this ever happened to anyone? It has happened to me and one of my customers in the past but I have no idea how he diagnosed it and it is happening with another one of my clients now. The application runs, but the HTTP requests do not. The application works 100% perfect on my own computer but not the customers. He has both the 1.1 and the 3.5 framework installed, and uses Vista (same as me). Can anyone shed some light on this situation because this is a huge huge huge problem that I would rather not have to worry about in the future with other clients.
View 6 RepliesI write a program designed for interacting with an Android phone that is hooked up to a Windows machine. One of the tools in my program is a utility designed to help the user root their phone.Now in order to root it goes through a command line utility called adb which lets you access a terminal on the phone. It must then type commands in that terminal. Most processes that this program does can be done through a batch file, however rooting the phone isn't one of them. The reason being once it actually logs in to the phone's shell, it stops running commands because it just gets stuck on that line, waiting for it to finish. So despite being a little primitive I designed that part of my application to use sendkeys. So the way it should work is:
1) It launches powershell as an adminstrator
2) Types the following commands (I have abbreviated the number of commands it types for the sake of this board. There's actually about 20 lines total): [code]
For the people that have this happen to them, it's always the exact same thing. It's like it completely skips all letters until it gets to a special character. I have no clue what could be causing this. The only thing I have found was that sendkeys wasn't totally supported but that running it as administrator would fix that, which is why I now have it run as admin. But that didn't help. I also had some success by using powershell instead of cmd, but it's still failing for a small number of people.Any ideas what would be causing this? Every other part of the program works perfect except for this. I haven't found any common element between the people that it is failing on. They aren't running the same anti-virus or the same programs. I program and debug on Windows 7 64 bit, yet someone else can run it on the same OS and it won't type it out properly.

I am working on an OpenGL Visual Basic 2010 Express project using Tao.dlls.My computer has crashed a few times while I was last working on my code.Since then There has been some side effects such as intelisense and autocomplete not working when I load the project, even after checking the options and settings for them.When I start a new project on the other hand the features work again.Also when this OpenGL code is run:

View 2 Repliesi have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Data buffer for incoming data.
Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

View 6 RepliesI have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
