VS 2005 Windows And Timing Routine Not Working Together?
May 2, 2009
I have a timer routine (basically just a timing loop) that moves shapes around the screen. The problem is that it isn't in sync with Windows (Vista). If a Windows background program runs (like an antivirus) the screen goes gray. The timing routine still runs but the display is shut off. Only when the shapes are done moving does the screen return to normal (but I didn't actually see the shapes move). Another good example of my issue is when I finish debugging and press the Start button, again I don't see the shapes move, I just see a grayed out screen with the cursor in "busy" mode.
All the other VB.NET programming I've done doesn't assume so much control as this timing loop. I've never had to worry about coordinating a routine with other windows functions. What's the trick to getting this stuff to work together smoothly?

I am having trouble running a VB.NET 2.0 Serial Port application in Windows 7. I developed it in Windows XP, it ran fine in Windows 2000 and now when the company upgraded the machines to Windows 7, the application does not kick off. All platforms were/are 32-bit. I did some research online, but have not found anything relevant to resolve my issue. Does anyone know what the issue might be and the possible solution to it?

I am using sockets to send message between computers. I send the messages alright. What I want is when the message "x0x" comes, the client must be closed within 5 minutes. Teh admin can cancel the request by sending message "-xx" as well. The routine that checks for incoming connections and accepts messages uses WHILE TRUE...END WHILE since it must always listen. Once I get a message, I need to fire a timer control or other that fires within 5 minutes. But the program cant leave the WHILE TRUE at all. If i exit it early, the timer fires and the program does get exit. How do I fire the timer or other routine while still the WHILE TRUE routine checks for incomin connections and messages?

Is there any limit to the no. of handles assigned to an routine. Well actually my form form has about 80 controls and when ever the user press the enter key, focus must be to the next control. so can I handle all the 80 keydown events in one routine, or is there an better way.

I've just debugged a program and it's revealed a rather strange problem:
If newWord.Contains(TextBox1.Text) Then
...
End If
The problem is if the User enters "" or does not enter a value into Textbox1, the If routine still runs. NewWord is always a string value of > 1 value. I'm sure this can't be right.

is there any way to reference a particular code routine in VB.net external to the current loop/routine?Example:
If Var01 < 5
[Routine A]
Else
[Routine B]
End If
where Routine A and Routine B are code sequences at the end of the entire program -- such as outside of the current sub or class? The idea would be to reference an otherwise repetitive code.

I have a sub routine where I pull in information from a database. I want to use variables from this sub routine in another sub routine. I tried making everything public but it doesn't want to be friendly and share.
Dim strEmail as String
Public Sub readDB()
strEmail = "whatever@doohikcy.com"
[Code]....
The readDB would read the database and set the variables and do whatever it needs to do. Then when they submit the form it would e-mail the form to whatever the email address was.

I have embedded the WMP control in my Visual Studio 2010 app which works on windows 7 (Framework 4.0), but installing the app on winXP, I get the following error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.

OK, I have this loop I want to perform which involves the serial port. Not to get too specific I'm actually sending data to an external device within a loop The loop involves a Start number, increments by a Step and ends when it gets to Stop This repeats until I click a STOP button.

I have a stored procedure that when I run it within my application it times out, but when I use Management Studio and pass in the same exact parameters, the stored procedure executes under a second. I had this exact same issue with the same stored procedure before, and all I did was recompile it, and it fixed the problem, but I do not want to keep having to recompile this stored procedure every few days or so. Has anyone else ran into this issue before?
Another note I would like to mention, is that I'm currently working on a test database, so I'm not inserting, deleting or updating any of the records that the Stored Procedure is using. So the database itself is not changing, but for some reason the Stored Procedure is showing degradation, and at the most we have 2 users in the database at a time.
Below is the code I use to call the Stored Procedure from my app.
cmd.CommandText = "sp__RECAP_SELECTION_GET_GRID_RECORDS_RECAP_TYPES"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FK_KitchenID", SqlDbType.SmallInt).Value = cmbKitchenCustomer.KitchenID_SelectedPrimaryKey
[Code]....
As I mentioned, if I run the Stored Procedure within Mangement Studio, it runs with no problems. Also if I recompile the stored procedure, it runs fine within the app, but after a few days, the stored procedure starts to timeout again within the app and I need to recompile it again.

I use combo boxes with the Autocomplete turned on (Source = ListItems and Mode= SuggestAndApplend). The problem is that if the user stops typing for two seconds and then continues typing, the Autocomplete starts matching only on a new characters being typed. For example, I have a list with two items: "apple" and "please". I type "ap", then pause for a couple seconds and then continue typing "ple". I want the list to match on "apple" but instead it matches on "please". I'm looking for a property or some way to set the length of time the control resets the matching. Do you know if one exists?

I am a complete noob at programming, so I need all the help I can get with my new program.I am building a web-browser which is linked to one webpage. The content of this page is constantly changing, so I need the web-browser to auto-refresh after 2 minutes. But if it refreshes while NOT connected to the Internet, the browser will show an error message, so that is why I have build in an Internet check. This check is working. The browser also have to be in the same place at the screen every time the software is loaded. This code is also working.
But the timer and the refresh is bugging me. I cannot get it to work. The code is not responding.

Im trying to check to see if a value of a label changes over time. however I can't seem to get it right.
dim val1 as string
dim val2 as string
private sub form1_load()
dim val1 = label1.text
end sub
[Code]...
problem is it will only check it once after ten seconds when the timer is set to 10 seconds i need to to check it every 10 seconds becuase these values display altitude, and if the server freezes the altitudes dont change. I need to make sure they are updated and not frozen.

I am using VB2008 SerialPort to communicate with a device. My problem is, using RTS handshake I am missing the first 50 or 60 chars, after that everything is intact. I tried to change the buffer size - Has no effect, used standard, bigger, smaller and no change.
The device timing says when it sends CTS signal, it will start listening 100ms after that. I have no clue how to delay the write to test this. Should I first write to the buffer then write to the port after a a 100ms timer event?

I am using LINQ to SQL and a third party SDK that supports distributed transactions. When I realize that a pending update will be updating both SQL records and records in the third party SDK, I am creating a TransactionScope with a 0 (presumably infinite) timeout (although I've also tried 12 hours as a timespan parameter). Then I use GetDtcTransaction on the ambient transaction (created by transactionscope) to get a DTC transaction to link to the third party SDK. Things work nicely for about 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes, the transaction disappears and an error occurs. How do I determine why the transaction is disappearing. I suspect it's a timeout because it regularly occurs after 10 minutes even though slightly varying degrees of work have been done at that point. But I'm at a loss about how to determine what terminated the transaction, why, and how to extend its life.

So, I got an SSD drive for my computer the other week, and decided to have a little fun. I wrote a program which starts every single program in the Windows Programs folder in the Start Menu, via clicking the "Go" button on my Form. It works beautifully. Only thing I would like to add to it is some sort of timer, which I have never tried in any programming language. I would basically like for a timer to be running, counting in real time (seconds), until my loop ends, and then display the total time taken at the end. I was thinking about setting a variable equal to the current time, before the loop starts, and then another equal to the time right after it ends, and then taking the difference of the two.

Our production database as grown to a size where several of our longer running stored procedures are taking more than the default 30 seconds to complete. I've programatically set some of the CommandTimeouts on the command objects but the calls to the store procedures still appear to be timing out after 30 seconds.
Here's what I did:
In web.config set this property
add key="CommandTimeOut" value="180"
Added this to the top of my class that needs the timeout set:
Dim COMMAND_TIMEOUT As Integer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CommandTimeOut")
After creating the command object set the timeout property on the object.
cmd.CommandTimeout = COMMAND_TIMEOUT
Unfortunately my stored procedures still seem to be timing out when they take longer than 30 seconds to execute.

Why does this code works for the first few then gives timeout on all the rest ? VB removed, resolved like when i run it with say 50 threads, the first few work fine but then the rest after that all time out, i have tryed moving the ones that work to the bottom of the list but they still timeout after the first few are done.

I added a web reference to my VS 2005 console application [Code] The call to this WS times out with :"The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a3008 to COM context 0x1a3178 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages.
This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations."
I used WCFStorm to call this WS and the result comes back in an instance, so I don't think the WS is a problem. I deleted the web reference a few times and added it back again. did the clean and rebuild operations.

i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

MVC3 vb.net. In my app I have a point where 500+ emails with attachments are sent out using a for each loop to accomplish this.. Nothing is returned to the browser the entire time this is running so eventually the browser think it has timed out... I tried just having it redirect to another actionresult function after every email and that function just passes it back to the email function. This is not working and I feel the reason is that nothing is actually being sent to the browser window its self.. Is there a way to fix this issue??
