I want to create program in vb2008 express with ms access database. Can somebody help me so i can learn how to program using classes hard coded. I have learned vb6 before but it has a big difference on vb2008.
I have a database named "DATABASE" in ms access 2003 and the details are: Table :
EMPLOYEE(EmpNo, EmpName), DEPARTMENT(DeptID, DeptName), CATEGORY(CategoryID, CategoryName), SUPPLIER(SupplierID, SupplierName), ITEM(ItemID, Itemname), ITEMLIST(ItemListID, ItemID, ItemDescription), INVENTORY
[CODE]...
All the CAPITALIZED name are Table and all items inside the parenthesis are fieldnames. I don't know where to start on working on this RECORDS. I was able to understand visual basic 6 a bit, and i am trying to apply the coding to VB 2008 but all i get is errors. I am hopeless now and i need help to be able to start my programs. If someone can give me a sample code, i think i would be able to trace the line of code to be able to understand it. I am currently an inventory manager on the small company i was working with and i like to organize my record by using database.

My Dad made an application which had a feature that i want, basically his programme reads the users hard drive serial number and then multiplies it by say 12 and then divides it by 7 for example. This number is then shown as a 'Authorisation Code' which the user has to email to him and then his breaks it back down to the original hard drive serial number which he sends back which is the application serial number to activate it. I want to know how to read the actual hard drive serial number or a number that every computer has so i can do the same but i have searched everywhere and cannot find any examples for VB 2008 apart from one which didn't work

One day i decided to make Checkers (the game). Black and white circles are moving cross the field made of buttons. And i had to program each button (32 buttons) several times for each condition (moving black, moving white, black eating white, white eating black, black won, white won, whose turn it is...) Count that and multiply it by 32. It is really big code for something that simple.
if i can use one function for making all that conditions.
Let's use more simple example: tic tac toe game[code...]
I am making a FlowLayoutControl panel which the user can edit by dragging controls onto it in any required order. The controls are mainly (subclassed) Buttons and (subclassed) TextBoxes, plus perhaps a few labels. There might easily be several hundred of them interspersed at random. I need to be able to save the FlowLayoutPanel and/or its list of controls to a file, and then restore the whole thing again later when needed.If I am not mistaken, this will involve serialization -- a subject about which I presently know next to nothing. I have tried trawling the web for introductions and relevant examples, but I am suffering from information overload. There is so much written about serialization that I don't know where to start.As I can't spend too much time on this, I'm hoping there is some simple way through all the complications. Can anyone here explain, or point me to, the basics needed for saving a control like my one?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a simple web browser in Visual Basic 2008 (with Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) that uses the Gecko engine via a tool called GeckoFX and the XULrunner's dll's and resources.About GeckoFX - geckofx - Project Hosting on Google Code The book I am learning VB with hasn't covered this aspect yet but I almost have it all set up - this is just a side project I decided to play with because it looked really easy.
The Problem:
[code]...
I have downloaded both the GeckoFX package and the XULrunner package and unzipped them and placed the GeckoFX folder and the XULrunner folder in C drive.I have right clicked Choose Item in the toolbar and chosen the GeckoWebBrowser control to use in my form app.I know the path to the XULrunner runtime is C:xulrunner My browser only has the windows form with a text box, a button and the GeckoWebBrowser control.Now I need to set the call for the uxlrunner startup path where it needs to be. I have read that if I right click the project in Solution Explorer, I should see this option under properties.. but I do not see anyplace to do this
Will any of the free light-weight charting libraries; ZedGraph or NPlot, be able to draw a simple graph similar to attached image (no waste of space, and with colored plot areas)? This plot will act much like the task manager "CPU Usage" plots, with update of last value every 500ms, but only making a new datapoint every 1 minute or so.
Or is this so extremely simple that it's better to hard-code it? What classes should I look into for this?

View 5 RepliesI've written an app that gets an integer value every 500 ms from a MCU over usb. Works great. I want to get that same value over TCP/IP. Programming the MCU is no problem The problem is in VB.Net. I've read a bunch of sites and they seem to be overkill to what I want and just don't work for VS 2008. I just want to get that value and then manipulate it. I've tried the 'system.Net.Sockets' import and dimmed a 'New TcpClient', but one of the sites said to call the tcpClient.connect method and that doesn't come up in intellisense. Can someone help me just connect to a server with known IP address and Port, and read the integer 'x' every 500 ms?
