I'm saving the font of a label to a text file, and when I open the text file with my program, I want the label to have the same font that is listed within the text file. Now, the only problem I am having is that when I try to write the code for opening the text file, I can't set the font property of the label to a string. Label1.Font=[Font: Name=Microsoft Sans Serif, Size=9.75, Units=3, GdiCharSet=0, GdiVerticalFont= False]Here is what the code to open the text file and set the font of the label looks like:[code]The problem for the code happens at line 6. The error is: "Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Font'"ing each part of the font in the text file(i.e. Writing Font.Name and Font.Size properties in separate lines and then setting the label's font properties to each line accordingly), but I still get hit with the same error.

How can you convert DirectoryInfo such as a GetDirectories into a string. I can run the following just fine.
For Each m In Movies
lbMovies.Items.Add(m)
Next
But I really want to store something like m.GetDirectories.ToString into a structure I've built.

View 5 RepliesI have made an application with a client, server and listener. The server is a console app and the other two are Windows Forms Applications.
Basically i am using a Network Stream to send messages from the client which go through the network to the server which bounces them to the listener which then reads the message and tells the app what to do. (For example if i sent "shutdown", the listener would read it and then execute "shell(shutdown -s)".
The messages are sent like the following SendMessage("shutdown") but when i use a screen capturing API and send from the listener to the client like so SendMessage(background) i get the following error:

View 25 RepliesI'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?

I've been trying to figure this out for hours now, and I've given up on trying to solve it myself. Basically what I need to do, is convert a "double octet" binary string, such as "11010011 01011101", into a byte or char type if possible.I use the following code to convert my Unicode text into binary:
Private Function ByteToStr(ByVal bt() As Byte) As String
Dim st As New StringBuilder
For Each byt As Byte In bt
[code]....
But that gives me weird results. The "Convert.FromBase64String" obviously isn't what I'm after. Any help would be great. If I can convert the "binary string" into a bytes or chars I can get it into a string.
I noticed when you kill winlongon.exe, you get a BSOD and your computer crashes. I have also noticed that a number of antiviruses including Norton and Kaspersky make their processes access denied, even to administrators! Even if you use a tool like PSKill or Process Explorer, you still can't kill them. For anyone who wants to see this for themselves, get Kaspersky antivirus and then try killing AVP.EXE from any task killing utility. It doesn't work!
I'm making an application which will limit certain processes from running on my computer until a master password has been entered, where upon the access to these processes will be unlocked. I don't want the user to be able to kill the process, but I want them to be able to use other programs (including task manger, etc). I have thought of many solutions to this, including having another process which will restart my main process whenever it is not present, but this brings forth the problem of a user simultaneously killing and then deleting both of the processes, possibly with a tool like Unlocker. I have also thought about disabling task manager, CMD and taskkill, but then I fear my program will become more like a virus than a legitimate piece of software, and also other utilities can be used which will kill processes.
My problem is that I don't want to be too constraining to the user of my application so that they are not able to use every day applications, but I don't want my application to be easy to circumvent, and thus become pointless.

I was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.

But to write a Parameter I need to convert this to
UpDateCmd.Parameters.Add("Item", OleDbType.BSTR, 80).Value
Is there an easier way of converting DataType = System.String to OleDbType.BSTR than having to make a list with Select Case?Or is there a method to find OleDbType.BSTR rather than reading DataType = System.String?I also tried
