I read some posts in the vb.net forum for how to modify your host file on your computer adding the domain website to block. this worked great. Then i went to a website such as vtunnel.com and was able to view the blocked website through it. So to still block it I need to add [url]... to the host site as well as any others?

I guess what I'm asking is if this would work, the only reason I'm not debugging it is because I don't wanna f/// up my HOST file.

In my DoWork() function I register with our sip server. Then I have to wait for a response back. However, the response I get is received in another event. However, before I am able to check the flag in the DoWork() the DoWork() has all ready finished and the response comes after.
I am trying to find a way to wait in the DoWork() until I get a response in the Diagnotic event. I have a global flag that is set in that event that I have to check in the DoWork().I was thinking of maybe blocking in the DoWork() until the other event is finished. Maybe using a join.
' Do work in background worker
'Will return less than 8 if there are no error message from the library

View 1 RepliesI'm currently using a webbrowser control to extract information from multiple websites. At any given time, my application could be searching through 1-80 different webpages across 1-4 different websites. On my computer, it runs pretty quick. I could go through all 80 sites in just a few minutes. But when on another machine with fewer resouces, it runs awfully slow. Taking up to 15 minutes. Which kind of beats the purpose, but not entirely, of my application.
I'll begin by explaining my methods, and go from there. When utilizing the Webbrowser control, I use While statements and Application.DoEvents, instead of the Webbrowser controls's DocumentCompleted event. I'm wondering if this is one thing that could be slowing down the process. Though I'm not sure why it would be. Also, would utilizing separate threads help with this? I can't imagine it would boost performance. But I'm not entirely sure. I think it bogs down because the application uses so much memory when running. On idle, the application uses about 9.5k memory. When running, I've seen it go as high as 110k.

If i reset it back to the bloxx server again which is: http://gc-bloxx:8080 Then it works fine.

I am working on an addin/plugin for CAD software called Solidworks. I use it to batch process files (print, save, etc). One thing I'd like to add is a form that contains a stop button to stop the loop. The problem is that even if I use a background worker like I normally would for a standalone application, it still locks up when Solidworks is processing files. That's just normal operation for the program, the UI freezes when doing a cpu intensive operation such as loading or saving files, regardless of how I write my plugin. So my limited attempts at threading to get a form that won't freeze have been unsuccessful so far.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2008 on an XP machine and am trying to develop a web app that can interact with websites and carry out automatic tasks.One problem I have is trying to recreate the web requests for automatic interaction.
For example:I use a webBrowser control to allow me to surf a page manually. Then, once I am at a specific location, I'd like the automatic interaction to take over.Part of the website requires a log-in and exchanges cookie data.When I try to read the cookie info from the webbrowser control to build the subsequent automatic requests, the cookie content is incomplete.Upon further investigation, it appears that the site sets one of the cookies to "http only". This stops the value being visible to the webbrowser control.Is there another control or method I could use to retrieve this info?

View 2 RepliesI'm building an Expandable Groupbox control (source will be available in the codebank if I finish it), which is basically a groupbox with a [-] or [+] button to the left which allows the user to expand/contract it.
I've got it working pretty well, but now I want the user to be able to click the button in the designer to expand/contract the groupbox, rather than having to find the Expanded property in the property list every time. The ExpandableGroupbox control is just a UserControl with two panels (header and container), with an actual Button and a label for the text in the header panel. I know how to enable the user to click the button, even in the designer (this is done using WndMsg's and stuff, don't really understand that but it works!).
Now, there is one problem. When the button is clicked during design-time, the control is contracted (it's size changes), but the designer is not notified of this change. The selection rectangle remains as if the control size never changed, which is very confusing to the user. It only changes to the correct size after I select something else, and then select it again: At the moment, when the button is clicked it raises an event called Expand. I thought I could have my Designer class listen for that event, and refresh the selection service when it fires. I can get the control the designer is designing simply with the "Control" member.
Now here's the problem: Obviously I need to attach the Expand event using AddHandler, and I can see only one time to do that: in the constructor of the Designer.
So I tried it:
vb.net
Public Class ExpandableGroupboxDesigner
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner
Public Sub New()
[Code].....
1. Can you see any other way to listen for the event? There is no 'control initialized' event or something I can use where I can attach the event as far as I know.
2. How do I refresh the selection service in the first place??
