I want to get the absolute host name from a URL that's in the format of a string. So far I have done it like this:[code]I need the host without the www for comparision purposes.If I have two strings "url...m" and "url...m" I'm interested in only seeing that they are both on the domain "url...m". Is there some fairly simple way to do this?

View 8 RepliesI have been trying to trace a list of urls by using the url to get the ip and then use that to assign it a country. When using DNS.gethostentry or even DNS.gethostbyname I get the following error:
SocketExceptionwascaught: No such host is known
Now I even tried fetching the url first using httpwebrequest to ensure the url is valid but the error keeps showing up regardless. I know there are a few urls that don't work but I thought my code would catch and continue.

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 have a (very) simple WCF written in VB which I can build and publish locally to IIS. Works great.
What I need to do is (somehow) deploy it to a different server which does not have IIS. It's supposed to be run as a windows service.
how to do this. All directions on MSDN seem to be for VS 2010 (we're using 2008).
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?

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??

View 3 RepliesI need to get the host out of the Request object. Which property should I use and why?
From MSDN:Uri.DnsSafeHost Property A String that contains the unescaped host part of the URI that is suitable for DNS resolution; or the original unescaped host string, if it is already suitable for resolution.
vs
Uri.Host Property A String that contains the host name. This is usually the DNS host name or IP address of the server.
My testing has been with the ASP.NET Development Server. Both of these always return localhost. Even when I put in 127.0.0.1, both return localhost.Reading on, the DnsSafeHost property will handle IPv6 addresses, as well as Unicode to ASCII conversion if needed. It can also account for IRI and IDN. Even though I currently don't care about these things, should I just use the DnsSafeHost property to be safe?
In my ignorance, I thought I could subscribe to any host, so I chose hostmonster, and copy files from Visual Web Developer to it, thereby creating my first website. Wrong! Hostmonster is linux-based, so the files won't copy without assigning an index page at the site. The rep at the host said that linux doesn't read the language(s) I've been using to develop pages, Visual Basic and C#.

I've never tried accessing a database on a remote computer, across the internet. A few questions though.

2) Do I still need to install the local driver? In my case I believe I'll be using Connector/Net to connect to my MySQL database url...
I'm trying to show a small DataGridView in my ContextMenuStrip that I have built. The DataGridView will show a unique list of values in a DataGridViewTextboxColumn "Sample ID" when its column header is right-clicked. I can get the unique values just fine, but I'm having trouble displaying the small DataGridView in the ContextMenuStrip. It currently looks like this.Notice, there is no data in the DataGridView. I have confirmed that the DataGridView.DataSource has several rows in it, yet the DataGridView shows nothing. Plus, I need to increase the size of my DataGridView, thus increasing the size of the ContextMenuStrip to show the DataGridView.
