Communications :: SerialPort Timing Control
Feb 17, 2009I am using VB2008 SerialPort to communicate with a device. My problem is, using RTS handshake I am missing the first 50 or 60 chars, after that everything is intact. I tried to change the buffer size - Has no effect, used standard, bigger, smaller and no change.
The device timing says when it sends CTS signal, it will start listening 100ms after that. I have no clue how to delay the write to test this. Should I first write to the buffer then write to the port after a a 100ms timer event?
VS 2008 : Get The Viewer To Maximize Properly Without Hiding The Toolbar Of The Crystal Control Behind The Menu And Toolstrip?
Aug 8, 2010Working with a form that has a menu, toolstrip and Crystal Viewer control. I cannot seem to get the viewer to maximize properly without hiding the toolbar of the Crystal Control behind the menu and toolstrip. I've played with the options of Dock and Alignment, as well as autosize and I just can't get it to work.So do I need to handle the sizing myself to do this and position the control where I need it?

Sep 15, 2010I'm trying to measure the performance of seven sorting algorithms in a single VB 2008 program. I've tried using a Timer componend, the Stopwatch, and DateTime.Ticks but nothing works. The following simple code produces a result of about 500 (milliseconds), which is correct, but when I change 500 to 1000, I get a ridiculous result like 0 or 8.

I have tried changing the style to flat which helps but I would rather it wasn't visible at all until the user is actually in the cell.

View 17 RepliesVS 2008 Hiding The Current Form And Showing Another Which To Be On The Same Level?
Sep 13, 2010It is times like these that I miss the old VB6 language I wish I could hide the current forn and show another form which - this is the important thing - to be on the same level that the previous form was . You see , I used to use this code :
Me.Hide Form2.Show However , sometimes in VB .NET this does not work the way I want it to . You see , the current form does get hidden and Form2 is shown indeed ; however , Form2 is shown somewhere in the background . If there are other programs opened at that time , then Form2 is shown behind all those programs , that's what I mean by saying I want it to be shown in the same level as the previous form was the only way out , I found , was to reverse the code :
Form2.Show Me.Hide In this way Form2 is successfully shown right where the previous form was shown (above the other programs) but in some cases this also is not pleasant because it might take some time for Form2 to load while at the same time the previous form is still visible on the screen and therefore for a slight time both forms are shown one over the other , which is surely not nice . That's why I still want to first hide the first form and later show Form2 .
Showing / Hiding A Form On Windows Server 2008 RD Web Access
Mar 21, 2011I'm having an issue with my app where IE will get brought to the front of the screen when I am switching between forms. Basically I have a form with the man menu which consist of a few command buttons that will start up another form once a user clicks on the button. I do not want the users loading up multiple forms in my application, so once they load one form I end up hiding the main form. So my code looks as shown below when a button is clicked.

View 15 RepliesADO.NET Timing Out On Stored Procedure?
Aug 11, 2009I have a stored procedure that when I run it within my application it times out, but when I use Management Studio and pass in the same exact parameters, the stored procedure executes under a second. I had this exact same issue with the same stored procedure before, and all I did was recompile it, and it fixed the problem, but I do not want to keep having to recompile this stored procedure every few days or so. Has anyone else ran into this issue before?
Another note I would like to mention, is that I'm currently working on a test database, so I'm not inserting, deleting or updating any of the records that the Stored Procedure is using. So the database itself is not changing, but for some reason the Stored Procedure is showing degradation, and at the most we have 2 users in the database at a time.
Below is the code I use to call the Stored Procedure from my app.
cmd.CommandText = "sp__RECAP_SELECTION_GET_GRID_RECORDS_RECAP_TYPES"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@FK_KitchenID", SqlDbType.SmallInt).Value = cmbKitchenCustomer.KitchenID_SelectedPrimaryKey
[Code]....
As I mentioned, if I run the Stored Procedure within Mangement Studio, it runs with no problems. Also if I recompile the stored procedure, it runs fine within the app, but after a few days, the stored procedure starts to timeout again within the app and I need to recompile it again.

Combo AutoComplete Timing?
Apr 22, 2009I use combo boxes with the Autocomplete turned on (Source = ListItems and Mode= SuggestAndApplend). The problem is that if the user stops typing for two seconds and then continues typing, the Autocomplete starts matching only on a new characters being typed. For example, I have a list with two items: "apple" and "please". I type "ap", then pause for a couple seconds and then continue typing "ple". I want the list to match on "apple" but instead it matches on "please". I'm looking for a property or some way to set the length of time the control resets the matching. Do you know if one exists?

The browser also have to be in the same place at the screen every time the software is loaded. This code is also working.
But the timer and the refresh is bugging me. I cannot get it to work. The code is not responding.

Determine Why A Distributed Transaction Is Timing Out?
Nov 10, 2009I am using LINQ to SQL and a third party SDK that supports distributed transactions. When I realize that a pending update will be updating both SQL records and records in the third party SDK, I am creating a TransactionScope with a 0 (presumably infinite) timeout (although I've also tried 12 hours as a timespan parameter). Then I use GetDtcTransaction on the ambient transaction (created by transactionscope) to get a DTC transaction to link to the third party SDK. Things work nicely for about 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes, the transaction disappears and an error occurs. How do I determine why the transaction is disappearing. I suspect it's a timeout because it regularly occurs after 10 minutes even though slightly varying degrees of work have been done at that point. But I'm at a loss about how to determine what terminated the transaction, why, and how to extend its life.

Timing A Method From Execution To Completion?
Mar 6, 2012So, I got an SSD drive for my computer the other week, and decided to have a little fun. I wrote a program which starts every single program in the Windows Programs folder in the Start Menu, via clicking the "Go" button on my Form. It works beautifully. Only thing I would like to add to it is some sort of timer, which I have never tried in any programming language. I would basically like for a timer to be running, counting in real time (seconds), until my loop ends, and then display the total time taken at the end. I was thinking about setting a variable equal to the current time, before the loop starts, and then another equal to the time right after it ends, and then taking the difference of the two.
View 7 RepliesSql - CommandTimeout Seems To Have No Effect Queries Still Timing Out After 30 Seconds?
Sep 8, 2011Our production database as grown to a size where several of our longer running stored procedures are taking more than the default 30 seconds to complete. I've programatically set some of the CommandTimeouts on the command objects but the calls to the store procedures still appear to be timing out after 30 seconds.
Here's what I did:
In web.config set this property
add key="CommandTimeOut" value="180"
Added this to the top of my class that needs the timeout set:
Dim COMMAND_TIMEOUT As Integer = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CommandTimeOut")
After creating the command object set the timeout property on the object.
cmd.CommandTimeout = COMMAND_TIMEOUT
Unfortunately my stored procedures still seem to be timing out when they take longer than 30 seconds to execute.
VS 2005 Windows And Timing Routine Not Working Together?
May 2, 2009I have a timer routine (basically just a timing loop) that moves shapes around the screen. The problem is that it isn't in sync with Windows (Vista). If a Windows background program runs (like an antivirus) the screen goes gray. The timing routine still runs but the display is shut off. Only when the shapes are done moving does the screen return to normal (but I didn't actually see the shapes move). Another good example of my issue is when I finish debugging and press the Start button, again I don't see the shapes move, I just see a grayed out screen with the cursor in "busy" mode.
All the other VB.NET programming I've done doesn't assume so much control as this timing loop. I've never had to worry about coordinating a routine with other windows functions. What's the trick to getting this stuff to work together smoothly?
Webservice Timing Out - Unable To Transition From COM Context
Nov 3, 2009I added a web reference to my VS 2005 console application [Code] The call to this WS times out with :"The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a3008 to COM context 0x1a3178 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages.
This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations."
I used WCFStorm to call this WS and the result comes back in an instance, so I don't think the WS is a problem. I deleted the web reference a few times and added it back again. did the clean and rebuild operations.
