VB6 Replacement For StrPtr And VarPtr Is Not Supported
Mar 4, 2011
I am trying to convert a method from VB6 to VB.NET and having some issues with StrPtr and VarPtr not being supported in VB.NET anymore. Here is the method having a problem. From what I know, I am looking to get the memory location of the objects to pass to the SendMessageCDS() method.
Error Message: "This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL 2005 are supported VB.NET" I am using VB.NET 2008 and attempting to connect to SQL Server 2008 with XP as the operating system. I have service pack 1 installed in Visual Studio but this error message presists. The articles I have read on this error said to install sp1 as a solution but I have done that and the error persists. FYI, the error does not occur when I am using code to connect to SQL Server but when I attempt to connect using one of the designer wizards this error occure.
i have a C++ DLL. What i am doing is that i am passing memory address to my C++ dll where it write message on that address and i want to read the message from that memory address.
Here is my C++ function.
int _stdcall Test(int res, wchar_t *text)
Now in my C#.Net test app .. if i use unsafe char* .. i am getting proper output.
Declaration static extern unsafe int Test(char* msg); Implementation
[code].....
Now implementing in vb.net i am getting jst 1st character by using stringbuilder.
Dec Private Shared Function Test(ByVal msg As StringBuilder) As Integer Imp
I've been working on a project that requires that I can go around webpages with different proxies, user-agents, and clear cookies. Now after looking all around the net, it looks like there are some solutions for each of these, but I can never get them working. I was wondering if there was a wrapper for this control that fixed all of these problems or even just a different control I could include.
I only found one GINA replacement called pGINA but it is in C++ which I don't know at all.Does anybody know one in either C# or VB.NET?(I'm writing software for use at work to control what employees are doing)
I was trying to put together a solution to:Insert spaces between words on a camel-cased token..Essentially, he wants to turn 'ThisIsATest' into 'This Is A Test'. I thought, 'Oh, that's easy, I can do it with LINQ' but I struggled with it. [code]Is the path I started to go down, but I'm having trouble getting the results into something I can work with. I even added the .ToString to try and get back an array of Strings, but I'm still getting an error.[code]I believe that means I'm getting a collection of System.Char, System.String instead of just a System.String like I want.
So the background on this question is this. We have a couple of applications that communicate with each other and with client's applications through sockets. These socket messages contain non printable characters (e.g. chr(0)) which need to get replaced with a predetermined string (e.g "{Nul}"} because the socket messages are kept in a log file. On a side note, not every log message will need to have characters replaced.
Now I started off on this little adventure reading from This MSDN link which I found from a different post from this site.
The current method we used...at the beginning of the day...was using string builder to check for all the possible replacements such as...
Public Function ReplaceSB(ByVal p_Message As String) As String Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(p_Message) sb.Replace(Chr(0), "{NUL}")
[Code]....
This so far has been the fastest way I have found to process these messages. I have tried various other ways of going about this as well like converting the incoming string into a character array and comparing along with also trying to loop through the string rather than the chrArray.
I need to develop an project in VB.Net 2005 or 2008 and SQL 2005 for the database. It is not possible to create an App Config file(To create an connection to the Database).Is it possible to use/create an connection with similar functionality, and what is the replacement of this function.
I am trying to execute a command that works with hard coded variables, but when I try and replace the name test below with selectedname, I cannot get the syntax for escaping the command. The basic idea is I am using WMI to query the app pool names and then selecting one and storing in the slectedname variable, which works when I test with a msgbox(selectedname) line. It also shows up when I am stepping through, but does not get passed to the bottom command. The function where I am trying to execute the command is
Private Sub Stpbtn_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Stpbtn.Click Dim selectedname As String
I have a vb.net program that is failing, but giving no errors. I've just discovered that the code I am using is deprecated. But what is the replacment? (That seems like something useful for MSDN to list, but I'm sure not seeing it.)
Private Sub SetConnectionToDB(ByRef oCMD As OracleCommand) Dim connectionString As String connectionString = My.Settings.ImportDataConnectionString
wpf application was running very slow. I was using the performance profiling tools for wpf from windows and noticed my hardware IRTs per frame where very high (100+). that this is caused by some effects. After disabling some effects i found that this was the cause...
I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc.I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls.
I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for '
E.G. If I was to use the following:
Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?" Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name) Response.Redirect(url)
to resolve this problem. User inputs a string and no.of replacement positions. for ex: l=7 and f=1 (L means length of string and f means replacement chars)
So I have a Powerpoint presentation. It contains numerous images on it, referred to by image X. (So it's the same image but on multiple pages) These same images on different pages/slides have different width/height attributes associated to them. So even though they're the same image, they may not be the same size.
So there exists a scenario where an image exists on a lot of the slides. I want the ability to replace all of them at the same time (quickly) without having to go through each slide and separately replacing X, one at a time with the new image.
Is this possible? (yes/no)How would this be accomplished? (abstract - high level explanation is only required)
I'm using .NET Framework 2.0 for my application, but I need to get a part from a byte array.Normally I would do this (ByteArray.Take(Amount).ToArray), but Framework 2.0 doesn't have a Take member. Is there a replacement for this?
First of, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, I'm knew here and it looked like the right place lol.
Ok on with my problem. I am writing a replacement shell (for windows 7, if that makes a diffrence) in VS proffesional 2010 (in vb.net obviously lol) and i've hit a road block. I cant work out how to create the ystem tray for storing notify icons in. I'm totaly lost.
Basically my issue is that users would like to search for a french word that has accented characters but without typing in the accented characters and then have the actual accented word appeared highlighted if found... So for example they would type in "declare" but in the result sets it would look like "déclare" and if found "déclare" would be highlighted.
My first thought was to just simply replace the characters with a regex but then I remembered that I would need to re-insert the replaced characters after the search... I was thinking of then using some sort of character map that would track position and the character so that when the search was finshed I could put the result set back to the way it was.
When using: vb System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress it states that it is obsolete, and to use GetHostEntry instead. But for some IP's this errors whereas GetHostByAddress does not... for example:
