View 1 Repliesway to do the following in VB 2005:
I need to access, but not display, a web page out of a VB 2005 program. The web page would be an aspx page with a query string as part of the url - with the url using values acquired thru the program - e.g. www.mysite.com?arg1=this&arg2=that
So the aspx page would produce an html output with values I need placed in specific elements. I want to read that page from my app and do stuff with the resulting values.

I have the following code :
sw = New StreamWriter("scanner.txt")
sw.WriteLine("TEST")
sw.Close()
This code should write the txt file to the folder my exe is in. This is the case on hundereds of different machines.
However I have just found out that on one machine my code always writes the files to the desktop and expects to read from the desktop. I am going to change my code so it looks specifically for the application folder but I still dont get why this is happening on one machine and not on all the others.
is there a possible way using vb.net to lock and unlock PC Desktop? so that we will have restriction for each user? what code should i write?

View 3 RepliesIn doing mathematics, I need to enter many values from equations into an array or arrays. I want to be able to vary these value any time I run the program.
I would like to know how to do this while the program is running?
back in the days of Quich Basic, it was simple, ie
Dim array(9)
For I = 1 to 9
INPUT array(I)
Next I
The program stopped at each pass to let you enter values.

I am sure the screensaver wasn't meant to be used in this manner, but I have created an interactive screensaver for the company I work for which acts as a checkout station for calibrated measurement equipment.Part of this process is printing out a sticker using an SII SLP Label printer which is attached to the computer with the checkout station. Printing with the printer works just fine over the network from another computer (not running the program as a screensaver), but for some reason I am getting a -16 error (I believe that is "Unknown Error") when the program as a screensaver uses the local SLP printer. The only possible reason I can think for this happening is that screensavers aren't allowed to access printers. Is there some way to give the screensaver permission to use the printer? Currently the screensaver is able to access files on the network file share (such as the equipment database) just fine. If I were to create a TCP/IP server that acts as a proxy or go-between for the printer so that all the screensaver does is connect to localhost and tells the server to print would that work?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to sort my report on the values in a column. The underlying query consists of a director colum a movietitle column and a rating column, for every movie a director has directed there is a record which off course shows the rating in the ratingcolumn In my report I have grouped by Director and created two other columns which are called: Nr of Films and averageRating. in the design view i used two functions to accomplish this. the first is: count('the field of the rating') and sum('the field of the rating')/count('the field of the rating'). This is working... but now I would like to sort the column, Nr of Films. I think I have to do this with interactive sort of the textbox which holds the column name(i.e. Nr of Films)
