What events are hit before form_load in a winforms app? Somewhere before the form_load a file called .ini is created and I can't figure out where it's being created. It's just .ini with no name before the extension.
View 2 RepliesI'm in the middle of porting a VB6 product to VB .NET and .NET Framework 3.5, using Visual Studio 2008. Backward compatibility with customer VB6 legacy code is a requirement.Our VB6 product uses the COM ADODB.Recordset objects extensively both internally and in our API. They port directly to VB.NET if I add an adodb interop reference to my VS 2008 project. My question is how long will Microsoft continue to support ADODB.Recordsets in their languages and operating systems? 2018?I'm trying to make a design decision. Since backward compatibility with VB6 is a requirement, I would prefer to leave them in the .NET code. However, if support will be dropped soon in the near future, then I will use ADO.NET datasets instead, and convert between ADODB.Recordsets and datasets until support is dropped.

View 2 RepliesI have two "Game of Life" programs. One uses a list of points that represent the live cells, and the other uses a fixed-size grid. The one using the list of points can zoom in and out, is much more elegant in coding, and has an unlimited size grid. However, it needs to search for points in the list, and the more points in the list, the more time it takes
View 5 RepliesI'm using a DataGridView in VB.Net in VS 2005. The issue is, when there are rows that exceed the width of the DataGridView, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't appear (the ScrollBars property is set to "Both"), but an ellipsis appears at the end of each row that is too long. I don't want the ellipsis, but the horizontal scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar works as expected when the number of rows exceed the height of the DataGridView.
I have tried setting numerous related properties (changing the AutoSizing property of the DataGridView, Resizability of the Row Template, made sure that no Columns were Frozen) to no avail.
I'm making a Library type app which needs to scan the whole computer when it is run for the first time. Not again ever. How can I accomplish it?I'll be using SQL database to store data. So, I can easily make a table there and store a flag and check it on first run, but is there any other way? Any native support for this in VB.NET?

i have used vb to create some simple forms but my latest project has got me beat. The company i work for has just upgraded to Terminal Server 2008 and some of our old programs need administrators rights to open but i do not want to give all 200 users the administrators password, So i wanted to know is there anyway i can create a exe with vb.net that will run a .lnk file (located on all users desktops) as administrator.

IM not looking for clink once. Do to its not customizable. What im looking for is something like App Life but that allows custom forms to be used. Or even a tutorial on how to run an update the program. Such as a patch if you will. Does any one know a free program that allows this?
View 3 RepliesI've googled and binged my browser to an inch of it's life, but i'm still no nearer to an answer for this, so I'd be grateful for some advice. Mainly with the syntax, but knowing me the whole concept is wrong!I have a textbox. When user enters a string and presses enter, I want the following to happen.
I'm struggling with 3 and 4 and 7
1. Check the string is not more than 13 characters, if so trim the last characters off to make 13
2. Find if the first character of the string is a digit or a letter
3. Convert the string into an array of INT

I'm trying to get the battery life meter in percent, so it will be shown on a progressbar when you're on a portable computer.
View 2 RepliesTrying to find a code to display ' BatteryLifePercent' by itself on the screen of a gps unit running Windows CE Core 5.0. I have absolutely no experience in programming. Just piecing together things I find and slowly learning to make a working program. So if this is possible, could someone post a code for it? Ideally I'd want just the percentage showing on the main page with ability to size font and position somewhere on the screen. [Code]
View 4 RepliesSearching about kernel32.dll and battery functions in it, I came across some interesting
Public BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32
The full declaration is:
Private Declare Auto Function GetSystemPowerStatus Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
ByRef lpSystemPowerStatus As SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS) _
As Integer
Private Structure SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS
Public BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32
What I don't understand is, what measurement do the "BatteryLifeTime As System.UInt32" is in? I mean, is the Battery life Time in seconds or hours.. Or something else, so how can I convert it to something I can use..
We have a serial port which is connected to hundreds of physical devices on the same wire. We have protocols like Modbus and Hart to handle the request and response between the application and devices. The question is related to managing the reference count of the channel. When no device is using the channel, the channel should be closed.

I'm trying to make a little app that displays the battery life of a notebook, and also whether it is charging or not.I've got it displaying the battery percentage and if it is running via the cable or battery alone.My problem is that I have a timer constantly ticking to grab the latest information as to whether it is still chraging, what the battery % is like, however for some reason when it first runs it get's the info but then that's it, it won't refresh the info in real time. I'm confused because the battery can deplete but the program only displays what info it got when it was first ran but if I unplug the power cord or plug it back in it refreshes that info straight away. My code is:
Public Class Form1
Dim psBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
Dim perFull As Single = psBattery.BatteryLifePercent
Dim GraphicPercent As VariantType
[code]....
The bit I've highlighted in red in my code won't work either, basically I've shaped the two labels to look like a crude battery shape and label2's function is to represent the nobly bit at the top of the battery and I wan't that to change to Lime when the battery is 100%.why it won't refresh the graphical output to the screen?
Here's a list example
SortedList name = test
"nothing" | 0
"something" | 1
How can I go about running a for each loop or something to add each first column in test to, say a listbox.
Listbox should just have listed.
nothing
something
I tried
For Each i In text.Values
lbTest.Items.Add(i)
Next
But that produces:
0
1
Just had a question regarding a Windows Form Application in Visual Studio 2008.I was wondering if it is possible to have a RichTextBox and have a < (previous) and >(next) button. When the user selects the Next button, a new blank RichTextBox will be displayed, when the user selects previous button, the prevoius RichTextBox w/ whatever text was in there before will be displayed.
View 2 RepliesIn Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic, I want to create an exe (without any forms) that will cycle through each file in a folder. I have not found any method of cycling through file names in a folder.
View 1 RepliesNow what I am trying to do is to find cycles in my graph. I have a user drawn graph using lines. Now what I want is to find out if any cycles exist in the graphs. My idea is to find a way to recognize a closed shape and then fill it in. I get this idea from ms paint , where if you draw shapes, the lines must intersect each other and form a cycle for the color to be in.

I am familiar with the VB6 ADO way of dealing with SQL queries and looping through the record set results.
However, what is the correct way to query a server, cycle through the results, and dispose of my query in VB.Net? All the ways I have been using seem to be unstable and crash randomly.
I have been using the following code:
Public Function GetSQLTable(ByVal strSQL As String) As DataTable
Dim table As New DataTable
Dim adapt As SqlDataAdapter

how can I step in a for cycle on the following index?
f.e.
for i = 0 to 10
if (some condition) then next i
next
I have a subroutine with a for i as integer=1 to 128 it should send 128 mouse clicks to another application sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't (it works well until it reaches 64 then the numbers go crazy). i suppose that because vb debugger reports that for my form there are 2 threads running (i have a Core2Duo processor and i've read somewhere that multithreading has something to do with the processor).Is there anything i can do to make the cycle reach the 128 clicks? i've tried setappartmentstate to STA, i've tried synclock monitor.enter nothing works, it fails it returns from the subroutine to where it started from and the next time the same story

View 5 RepliesLet's assume one joins a project near the end of its development cycle. The project has been passed on across many teams and has been an overall free-for-all with no testing whatsoever taking place along the whole time. The other members on this team have no knowledge of testing (shame!) and unit testing each method seems infeasible at this point.
What would the recommended strategy for testing a product be at this point, besides usability testing? Is this normally the point where you're stuck with manual point-and-click expected output/actual output work?
