View 2 RepliesI have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database. I am using a second form to add new items to this list directly into the database.When the second form closes I want to call the sub in my first form to refresh the list from the database.
How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2
Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
I would like to run a code every 1 minute ,15 minute etc Is there any better way than following put in the timer control with time interval 1 sec. A c# solution is also ok.

What would be the best way to run a subroutine over and over again every X seconds. I want to avoid creating an infinite while loop to do this because this sub needs to be called repeatedly while the rest of the program is still active and responding.

View 4 RepliesHow can i code my application so that it can handle two sets of key events at the same time? For example, if I was making a game where one player used the WASD, and the other the arrow keys for moving, how can i make it so that both can move at the same time? The code I used only allows one to move at a time.. (key press event, If e.KeyData = Windows.Forms.Keys.down then.... etc)

View 2 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2008 for a Windows Form application. I have a PictureBox on the form that I need to display a series of 12 JPG files, one every four seconds. For the life of me, I cannot seem to figure out how to get the Timer control and its Click event to work.
In pseudo code, I need something as simple as the following:
1. show JPG #1 in picture box
2. 4 second delay
3. show JPG #2 in picture box
4. 4 second delay
etc.
I have a Timer on the Form set with Interval = 4000. I have a PictureBox. I have all the images in the Project. I am embarrassed to say that I have spent 4-5 hours searching the Web for sample code or something helpful, but am still stuck.
All the elements are there. It's just a matter of understanding how to pause the image displayed in the picturebox for 4 seconds before moving onto the next image in the series.
I like to update data from an access database every 100ms. This works fine, but it does not look good on the screen. It refresh the whole screen on my laptop and it is not looking good. Is it a good way of updating data without getting this disturbanses in the screen?

Is there an option to set a time interval between each check?

I have a quesion about using the timer1 function. I am a complete virgin when it comes to programming, so please be kind. I have a project that is using an NCD relay controller to control linear actuators. I want one relay to turn on and then stay on for 10 seconds and then turn off. I set the timer1 properties to enable with an interval time of 10000. I am programming a button to turn on the relay then wait 10 seconds then turn the relay off. All that happens is the relay comes on then off immediatley. I have tryed to do this several different ways with the same results. It is though the timer1 is not getting recognized. So my main question is, what steps am I missing, and how do I get a delay of 10 seconds before the program recognizes the turnoffrelay command?

In my small P2P Chat application I am listening on a port for messages and if some message arrives and pending, I am accepting it to a TcpClient and reading the data from the stream, writing back a "Received" response and closing it. This is in a loop with a sleep interval of 500 secs and runs in a separate thread. Is it a good practice to close the socket each time I receive and process a message or should I keep it alive till the chat box is closed on other side?
I am asking this because, when I do a "NETSTAT" on command line while chatting with someone, there is one entry per message that arrives locally. and many ports get to TIME_WAIT status, even if it is understood that they will be removed after 2 mins by the system.

View 5 Repliesi have a problem with trying to get 2 forms to close at different times using a timer on each of the 2 forms.This is my form layout:frmMainFrm1 Frm2..Frm1 and Frm2 are identical to each other. FrmMain has 2 buttons on it. One button to call Frm1 and the other to call Frm2.Frm1 and Frm2 each has a timer. It counts down to 0 and then does a .close(). However, if i pause between clicking the second button they both seem to always disappears at the same time.then they both disappear at the same time.... which shouldn't happen since i clicked the Frm2 box 10 seconds AFTER Frm1... So Frm1 should hide before Frm2 does...but it does not.

, When you hit esc a 2nd form comes up on top of the first. On the second form you are able to close the first or/and reload the first with different info. My problem is whenever i try and reload the 1st frm it doesn't close it just opens it again. So if i do it seven times i have seven windows of the first frm open... my codes is something likes this
Dim frm1 as new form1
frm1.close()
From what i was thinking it has to do with the "New" Part in the dim statement....
