I need to implement a notification system software for each new verson, I am interested only inform the user of the presence of updates, not autoupdate software, how can I do?
View 15 RepliesI need to create a notification system for my application that will alert the user once new items have been sent to their queue, which is made of up database entries. The latter part of this question may need to be asked in the database forum, but I guess we'll figure that out First, since I haven't created anything like this before, I need some direction on what the best possible solution would be.The notification system should always be running and work independently of the main app. With this requirement, I thought a Windows Service would be best.
The notification itself will just be a quick form that alerts the user. I'm sure most of that will be fairly easy to create. The only issue I'm wondering about is how to constantly check the database and determine a new record has been inserted.Would a windows service have a timer or something that allows me to constantly check?If it does, how would I determine a new record has been inserted?

View 8 RepliesI'm wondering if anyone can point me to any documentation for interacting with the taskbar notification area(system tray)?

View 2 RepliesI am having an applciation running in system tray notification area, but the problem is that although I exit the application the icon is still there, when I point my mouse near notification area it's gone as it should be when I clicked on exit. I guess it is because my mouse position makes the area to refresh, if so, how can I do it inside my application to avoid having my useless icon in there?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to write a very basic program in VS 2008 (VB.NET 2.0) that will help me to quickly set up new servers. One of the things I want the program to do is hide the "Volume" and "Network" system icons. I cannot find where that setting is or a way to programmically change it.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a program that when I press the X or _ buttons on the form it minimizes to the notification area(system tray). I did find some stuff but didn't understand were to put the code I just have some basic knowledge in VB.net. What I read was something about the formclosing event
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
e.Cancel = True
'Me.Visible = False
End Sub
and well it sort of works to what I want but don't know were to go from there.. what I read from another post was that I had to do something with "NotifyIcon Class" but still didn't know what to do with that or where to put the code.
Basically what I want the program to do is minimize to system tray and a tooltip will pop up when I hover my mouse over it and display something that I want. Also when I right click the icon I would like some options to be displayed so that I could program it to close.
Multi threading in vb.net, in one of our program I provided an automatic error notification system that gives alert to my email when an exception error is occurred. The error notification includes the name of the form, the exception error details, the event name and the screenshot of the software during that particular instant.

I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.

I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.

I have the following records in the table student(see in fig 1). I am trying to update the Name of student whose Roll no =1. But Record is not updated in the database,
I have code similar to the code below that works in other parts of my program. The reason the code below does not work is because the datatable is made up of data from two separate tables. Does anyone know how to make this work for multiple tables? Can I choose what fields to send back and where to send them? This is what fills my datagridview and it works fine.

In order to multithread correctly, so that my UI gets updated and the background code functions correctly, I've been doing this:I have one sub that does the UI updating and checks for invocation: [code] However, I need to update the UI within the Class now. When I do that, my app is no longer responsive. I need to do all UI updating within the form class and all background code within my custom class.I just can't figure out how to determine at what part my class is at, to update the UI.The UI has a few labels and a picture box that needs updating. As it runs a new process, (about 8 in all) I need to update the picture box and labels with the appropriate information so that the user knows where the app is at.
View 7 Replies1. I have an array of windows handles (list of window handles) which are windows I want to minimize when I call the ShowWindow API. But when I call it it sometimes minimizes other windows which aren't the windows I had before. I'm guessing that window handles are changed when other windows are being opened, is there is any option to detect a window in other way? like identity or something like that?
2. I'm trying to change a window size by using the SetWindowPos, but the problem is that I'm using this API while I'm dragging a window which causes the window to change the size for a sec and then go back to the same size, how can I change the window size while I'm dragging it?
3. When a left mouse button is up I want to maximize a window, but when I'm using the ShowWindow API right after the left mose button is up it causes the window to maximize for a sec and then go back I could fix that adding a delay:[code...]
4. Another question, can anyone give me an example on how to put a window right behind other window? (I guess changing something in the Z order?) I already got the two windows handles.
Got a bit of a weird problem with a progress bar. I'm using a backgroundworker, which calls a "Process" function in a different class. The function goes about its business, and sends an update back to the form displaying the progress bar. What I'm finding is that its doing everything right, except update the progress and a label on the form. I've put breakpoints in to check the values of variables being sent to the form, and they're correct. I've also checked the value/maximum of the progress bar during the same break as I step through, and they're being set correctly.
they're just not displaying their updated status. I've tried refresh and application.doevents, to no avail. When the backgroundworker is complete, the values of the progress bar/label are as if I've never touched them! When the worker is complete, the Close button is enabled, so I know its finished. Anybody got any pointers/thoughts on this because I've been battling with this for a day and a half so far. I'm using the same technique as I've used elsewhere in the app to do similar backgroundworker progress updates, but this one refuses to work properly.

I had this - in the CURRENTCHANGED event of my BINDING SOURCE.
Private Sub vendorBS_CurrentChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles vendorBS.CurrentChanged
If Me.CMCStarting Then Exit Sub
vendorBAL_C.vendorUpdate()
End Sub
This calls a sub in the class vendorBAL_C that does this
Private Sub SaveData()
_adapter.Update(_vendortable)
[code]....
The vendorUpdate sub calls two .Update's on my SQL Data Adapter.Only the first one is getting saved._vendortable gets saved - changes to _vendorcapabilitiestable does not.Those two DATATABLES are getting created by
_adapter.Fill(_vendorSet)
_vendortable = _vendorSet.Tables(0)
_vendorcapabilitiestable = _vendorSet.Tables(1)
To add just a tad complexity to all this I'm making changes to _vendorcapabilitiestable through a filtered binding source in the UI.
capabiltiesBS.DataSource = vendorBAL_C.capabilitiesTable

I tried calling .EndEdit's on my binding source - no change.Changes to the second table are not being saved.
