I have been experiencing a problem with one of my Try Catch blocks. Specifically, I have a block of code that inserts data into a db using a stored procedure. There is a problem within the code getting one of the parameters to the SP. I know what the problem is and how to fix it. My issue is that the Try Catch should be stopping any further execution of code once it catches the error. I have verified that the error is being caught and that it sends the exception to my label used for error reprorting. However, instead of stopping future execution and displaying the error it rolls over the label assignment and continues to the next piece of code in the calling procedure. In essence, it is as if there is no error occuring at all.To give everyone a point of reference, I call a sub-routine from a button click event. Within the sub-routine I have my Try Catch block with the SP code. I am NOT using Try Catch Finally. It is simply Try the SP Catch ex as Exception and End Try.
Using this code, before I added the funky "abort" button code - stopping it using the Stop Debugging button in the IDE blue screened my computer every time, PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES - Anyone care to try it ? Win7 Ultimate , VS2010 SP1. This machine has never blue screened since it was built. Code is by no means exotic in any way.
Public Class Form1 Dim Abort As Boolean = False Private BStart As New Button
I'm using two forms in a Windows application that backs files up. The first form does all the processing, while the second one is displayed with a message that reads something like "Please wait...." [code]
I have this code within a button: If TextBox1.TextLength = 3 Then MsgBox("Please enter 3 numbers followed by a letter. For Example 001A")TextBox1.Text = "" Me.Refresh() End If Although if the user enters 3 numbers only, I want the rest of the code in the button to be ignored so that it doesn't proceed.
Add each characted to a String list (List(Of String)), execute the replace function for every type of character (for example: Text = Text.Replace("A", "0AA") Text = Text.Replace("a", "1AB")), but there's a problem: it replaces the text, but it replaces those replaced characters too, so when I replace "A", it will result something like this: "0AAB AAA 0AB"... (a long text)), and then add the characters to the result string
how make the application stop and start the replacing of the next character
I'm trying to use this code block:
Dim ReturnedString As String = GivenText Dim ListToEncode As New List(Of String) Dim curr As Integer = 0
I need to be able to edit vb.net code using visual studio without stopping the debugging executable.How can I go about doing this? If it's impossible, how can I code and reload that code without stopping the executable? I know of scripting languages like Lua, but I fear the implementation of another language within the VB is unnecessary to save me the trouble of stopping the executable. The issue is that starting and stopping this executable can take a very long time, and I need to be able to edit the code quickly and frequently.
i am getting an input from the user and i m checking in try catch statement. what i want to do is when the exception is caught i want to stop executing the rest of the code. my code is as below
Public Class AddForm Private Sub Add_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Add.Click Dim inc As Integer[code]......
i'm building a basic server program that I want to recieve commands and execute them sent from a client program and I'm using my home network to test it out. I've got no problem with the communication between the client and server programs and have used a simple Send Text function to communicate to the server program which simply brings up whatever text was sent in a message box.
I've decided that constantly updating the program and transferring the new EXE file just doesnt work as I have to keep starting and stopping the server program to do that just to update the list of commands it recieves. So say for example I've got a button on my client program that tells the server to open the cd-rom draw on that computer, it sends this in the form of simple text openCDdraw" and when the server recieves this, it pops open the cd draw and so on and so on... but I thought a better way of doing this may be to say have the commands listed in a SQL database and when the server recieves a message it searches through the database to find the correct command and executes the code associated with the command.
Now I can retrieve the information fine in to a string variable ("Dim a as string, a = dr.getvalue(3)") but where do I go for there? This is the problem see. My apologies if I've gone a bit long winded on this one but thought it necessary to explain what I'm doing. I've heard of dynamic code execution but when I tried a project I found on the internet it had been coded in C# and I don't know any C nor do I want to as I'm a VB veteran and have updated myself with the way of .NET now so am not going to start all over again with learning C. Does anyone know of an easier way of doing this? Static code is so easy to do because it is typed straight into the coding sections and I had already thought about creating loads of subs/functions to execute each command but again that involves updating the EXE file every time so there must be a better and easier way of doing it.
Can I also just point out that this little project i'm working on is not for a TROJAN or whatever that old NETBUS program used to be called, it is simply so I know how to do it and can use it for other things that I'm working on and through. Also I'd just like to know how to retrieve and execute code from a database or text file.
Also, how can I hide a form and keep all information saved so I can bring it back up again?
For instance, I have form1 with "alpha" written in a textbox. Now when I hide form1 (Me.Hide), I would like to be able to bring form1 back with "alpha" still written in the textbox.
Currently, I hide it, and when I show it again, the textbox is empty.
how to pause the execution of code in an event handler.
For instance in a forms load event how can I have the rest of the programs features continue to run but wait 5 seconds before the code in the load event handler is executed?
I just ran into what I consider a very strange issue in the execution of some code that I thought I had completely well-understood.
Basically, I was using this kind of notation:
If strOne.equals(strTwo) Then
rather than
If strOne = strTwo Then
I came from a c and java background, and using the '=' operator for comparison has always made me cringe, so I've used the .equals() comparison function thinking that it was equivalent. But just now some of my code broke. It encountered a string containing "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol", used the .equals() to compare it to "Eagle's Nest: Dawn Patrol" and declared them not equal. I changed the code to use '=' rather than '.equals()' and it declared them equal. I also did this:
If strOne.Replace("'", "").Equals(strTwo.Replace("'", "")) Then
And again, it declared them equal.
This has me a little rattled because my code is filled with the use of .equals(), and I've used it assuming that it was no different than writing strOne = strTwo. I've scanned the interweb looking for information about this. I have not found any information about odd interactions between the apostrophe (or other) character(s) and .equals(). Microsoft's documentation does not hint at any subtle differences. how .equals() differs from '='
"Does the selection type of variables speed up the code execution in VB.NET?"For example, I have two same exactly same projects where the first project is running with all Single variables and the other project which running with all Double variables.Is there any difference in term of the speed of code execution?This is because I'm working on a project which is very critical in term of the speed of execution. However, I'm using Double variables for most part of the code.
I am working on an app and I am a bit confused w/ threading. I understand the point of threading but I am not getting when to use a background worker thread vs. a standard thread vs. a thread pool. Can someone shed some light on when to use which? Right now, I am trying code an app that does stuff initially in a sequential order and then eventually must thread (otherwise it takes forever). The problem I am having w/ the sequential stuff (and threading later) is that I need a button to be able to stop execution of code. [Code]
I did the background worker on this first sequential operation because when I tried w/ out it, the text box didn't update at all until the web page contents were retrieved. Basically, the text box change of "Starting." doesn't show up until the web page is finished processing even though the assignment to the text box happens before that code.
I've found out that if two instances of an SSRS report run at the same time, any Code variables declared at the class level (not inside a function) can collide. I suspect this may be the cause of our report failures and I'm working up a potential fix.The reason we're using the Code portion of SSRS at all is for things like custom group and page header calculation. The code is called from expressions in TextBoxes and returns what the current label should be. The code needs to maintain state to remember what the last header value was in order return it when unknown or to store the new header value for reuse
Does anyone know a link to a list of IOException codes or some way of catching a specific error?I have been digging for a couple hours trying to find a code, or a number to catch when my app throws
System.IO.IOException was unhandled Message="The file exists. " Source="mscorlib"
i have this line of code to catch an exception if a letter is inputed, or if it is out of rang as a number, but I have added WHEN to avoid catching numberical data. Now how can I use an exception error to use it before my case statement in order to avoid running the code twice, cause once the case codes has been through it will run a clear txtbox which is already taken care by the try catch, don`t if thats clear for you but i understand it. here is the code in parts...
Try 'Integer Levels: intLvls is egual to the assigned text box, the first one from 'the top, this line of code allow the user input to be captured into a variable.
I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try Catch ex As Exception End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.
The following code causes a "Warning" that Variable is used before value assigned.How do I restructure this Try/catch to eliminate error on the myreader.close command in the Catch part? Code appears to work fine but I dont like Warnings. [code]
i have problem when i click a ADD button, there is one null value in the textbox .. so the try catch statemnt is to catch that null value error but after that the catch is success but the button click never stop excute the statemnt till the end of the button event.
I have this scenario: in a Sub I have a Try...Catch statement.Within that Try..Catch I call another sub.In that 2nd sub is also a Try...Catch.(see below for example).Now if an exception occurs in the 2nd sub's Try...Catch, which Catch gets excecuted? The 2nd one, the 1st one or both?
I need to catch log4net exceptions (its own exceptions not app exceptions logged by it). I wish there's a way of doing it this way: [code] I have this code implemented and there's no errors in compilation but i force log4net to have an error (pointing to a non existing database in the config file) and nothing is threw.I've tried the listener aproach: [code] and it's writing the errors to log4net.txt, the forced ones i mean.This last aproach has a couple of drawbacks: it won't append every error to the file, if the error is the same it doesn't write it, i can't get the listener to write every error to that file, only one (I don't know how to fully configure the trace listener, it might be that). Thus it won't append the date and hour to every line wich is a necesity for me. Finally i can't give structure to it (xml). Even if the listener work i need to use the try/catch aproach, since i'm using ExceptionHandling from Enterprise library to log the errors in my app.
I am using VB.NET 2005 to create a Windows forms application. I have a procedure named SendMail that creates an instance of Outlook.Application, to send an email from my application. I found the code on this forum, I think.The procedure works fine, but I can't use error handling with it.I call the procedure from a button click event. I put the procedure call in a try/catch block, and the application won't build, with the following error.
Error 68 'Catch' cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'. C:datadevdmtiQTSQTSv7_1_20100212wQTSQTSReportsCriteria pt_frmReportViewer.vb 43 21 QTS
Here is the code:
Sub SendMail(ByVal sFile As String) ' Create an Outlook application. Dim oApp As Outlook._Application
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50 threads = New Thread(AddressOf test) threads.IsBackground = True threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).
