VB 2008 Express: Recursive Use Of New Point (?)?

Jan 22, 2010

I have a VB 2008 Express program that uses a sequence of functions to move a set of image controls randomily until they meet some criteria as returned by a function, named here Passed().The random placements can result in an unsolvable solution, i.e. an infinite loop; So I've implemented a timer check that triggers just longer then the typical solution time (~2 seconds). Assumption being that any attempt longer then typical is likely headed to oblivion.

Upon timer trigger I attempt to reset all the images to a known location and simply recall the preceeding functions to again try placing them until they meet my desired outcome.I believe I am encountering an out of memory type error, due to an apparent corruption of the display (great big white area appears for no apparent reason and program never returns without manual halt). Program does appear to restart properly a couple of times before this 'lock-up' occurs.

Example of my code,

Public CnameA, CnameB as String
Public Cmax as Integer = 10
Private Sub Form1_Load(...)

[code]...

Is it possible that the calling of New each time might be filling up the available heap / memory (there are a lot more images then the 5 demonstrated here. I am unsure how to clear it and even if I did would clearing the memory associated with New Point () cause my images to not be displayed?

VS 2008 Cancelling A Recursive Folder Copy

May 24, 2010

How best to cancel/kill a recursive folder copy? I am looping through a number of pathnames in a list box and then recursively copying all files and sub-folders to a backup location. Suppose the user wants to cancel for some reason. I have checked that I can detect a click on my "cancel" button in a timely manner (DoEvents sees to that) but how can I stop the recursive file copy without ending the program? [code]

Unhandled SqlException In VB 2010 Express Thta Does Not Occur In VB 2008 Express?

Oct 16, 2010

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."

I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).

Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

INSERT Or Update In SQL Server 2008 R2 Express In VB 2010 Express

Jan 21, 2011

I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

VS 2010 : Search For Text Within A String (Starting Point And Ending Point)?

Dec 31, 2010

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.

Calculating Point-to-point Directions On A 2-D Grid?

Mar 11, 2012

I'm trying to calculate the direction between two points on a two-dimensional grid. Actually I want to determine if that vector is within a range of two values. Suppose the grid's origin is 0,0 at the upper left corner, and 0 degrees represents north. I have a point A on that grid. I want to know if a line from point A to point B on the grid is within a range of directions between 111.8 degrees (a little south of east) and 158.2 (a little east of south). Those are approximations; the 111.8 is 90 degrees plus the arctangent of 2/5, and 158.2 is 180 minus that value. I worked out a series of calculations worthy of a medieval astronomer, but I suspect there is a simpler way. I'm going to have to do this for a variety of other vectors, and I'd like to generalize

Move From Point A To Point B Along An Angle?

Mar 14, 2009

I need to move an ellipse from a known point on the screen to another known point on the screen.

I've tried using For.....Loops with less than desired results.

I can't remember everything I've tried, a lot of trial and error has been layed to waste. Lol

I've ended up with this code after putting together what I've tried, what I've learned elsewhere, and a couple of posts I've read on here.

All I want to do is move the ellipse from one point to the other along a straight line that forms the angle between the two points (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2), make it grow from 2 pixels at it's start, to about 80 pixels by the time it reaches half way, then shrink from 80 pixels back down to 2 pixels by the time it reaches the point (X2,Y2).

Easier said than done.

Here's what I have at the present.....

Dim W As Integer
Dim H As Integer
Dim Num As Integer

[Code].....

....This seems like such a simple task, yet it's been a week since I came up with the idea, and I've had little success.
