OK, so I've been trying to look into a webservice.I'm not really sure what is going on with them.I haven't been able to find anything that really explains what the purpose and reason for them are. I suppose maybe that is because they can serve many purposes?
View 7 RepliesBasically I'm using the following code to access a php file I created that creates an XML formatted page.
xmlFile = XmlReader.Create("http://www.serysoft.com/webservice.php", New XmlReaderSettings())
The purpose of webservice.php is simply to access my MySQL DB and put the relevant data in tags. Then I use:
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds.ReadXml(xmlFile)
vi.user_version = currentVersion
[Code]....
To stick the information in a dataset then read that information into a Public Structure I have created. This is all contained inside a DLL which is being referenced by my main program.
The issue I'm having is that in the SQL DB, the "notes" field is a BLOB. I have information that needs to retain line feeds. However, when put into the XML format, it loses the line feeds and becomes one line.
Do I need to talk to someone about PHP to get this done? Or is there some known way to handle such a thing as far as XML goes?
I need to create something that will retrieve new Users from a VTiger CRM and create a FTP folder and user/pass on another server.

The reason why I thought doing a WebService is that I must constantly check for new users. The language used isn't an issue. How to automatically retrieve changes of a MySQL DB from a webservice // Better solution?
It's the first time that i'm trying to use SOAP, i don't know how to make the request, I know the URL where the operation it's located, and i know the name of the operation, and i know the expected xml document schema. I have read in msdn about Microsoft.Web.Services2.SoapEnvelope, but i'm missing something...
The function structure it's something like:
<normal soap nodes until body>
<NameOfTheFunction xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<Var1>Value1</Var1>
<Var2>Value1</Var2>
Do i need the webrequest class? or the soap class can do all the job?

1. I need to pull some data from a text file separated by a space and put it in a drop down, the first value is supposed to be the text and the second value (separated by a space) is the value of the selection. I think I need to use an array and a System.Net.WebClient. How do I approach this?
2. I want to display some data from a text file into a gridview, so using datagridview, but I want them to be able to enable and disable a checkbox in these rows (using a listview?)

From what I can tell IIS is configured the same and both referenced DataTables seem identical.

I have been doing some research to determine an efficient and secure way to pass a document located on another server in the network to our web server and then on to the intranet user that requested it. While I have found plenty of ways to do this, I am not that experienced with this scenario as I have always just served documents stored locally on the web server and located nowhere else.
Our document server is shared in the domain and everyone has access to it and depending on their permissions, can access many files. I was thinking that I could possibly grab a file if I could pass the intranet users credentials but I don't know where to look to do that.
I was also thinking that maybe a webservice could do what I need but that just doesn't seem right to me because I am kinda guessing that there is already a .net library available that already handles something like this but am unsure as to what it is.
I know there are tools available to rectify this, but somehow i cannot make out the mistake(s) that disallowed the retrieval of records, despite 2 hours of trying and referencing.

First off I am fairly new to VB .net however I have had some success in my project so far. I am creating a simple envelope accounting program for personal use. So far I have some basic forms created and have my class defined and a few methods for calculating my balances as well as changing the property data I want to work with. I now want to take this property data and save it to an xml file that I can easily retrieve the data into another form and save for later.
Here is a screen shot of the form used to gather the property data for my class
Here's the class code:
Public Class EnvelopeSystem
#Region "Identification"
Private eUsername As String = ""
Public Property Username() As String
[CODE]...
I am looking for advice on how to get this to xml the most efficient way possible. Also if there are any blatant errors or easier ways to code what I already have I am still very new at this and would be glad to see easier more efficient ways of coding.
I am using vb.net and sql server 2005 as backend. I have a search form in which a field called billno is searched and all details are displayed in datagridview but the problem is I have to restart the project every now and then. Whenever any entry is done in database the immediate form opens is the search form so it must display the data which was inserted immediately without restarting the project.
For inserting data I am using the following code:
if TextBox1.Text = "" Or TextBox2.Text = "" Or TextBox3.Text = "" Or TextBox7.Text = "" Or TextBox11.Text = "" Or TextBox12.Text = "" Or TextBox13.Text = "" Or DateTimePicker1.Text = "" Then ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "Enter Proper Details")

On data retrieval, it comes out as number instead of text. Im guessing ASCII?Why is it doing this? Do I need to convert each ASCII number into a character?
I'm opening this discussion up primarily because I felt that it was inappropriate that Samir Ibrahim and I had hijacked another thread by turning it into a collaborative development thread. This thread will also hopefully serve as a searchable reference for those few who actually make an attempt to search the forum for information before posting a question. For reference the original thread I mentioned is [URL]
This thread is meant to be a repository for our continued collaboration on trying to find a way to update the attachment field using the OLEDB class. Samir believes that he is close to cracking the secret code.:)
Attachment retrieval and updating is a fairly trivial task using the Microsoft Access Database Engine. It is also fairly trival to retrieve the attached files using OLEDb as well. The difficulty comes when trying to add or delete an attachment with OLEDB.
The attachment field is actually a record set where each record consists of six fields. One of these fields is the data field that contains the binary file data. According to the documentation, Access will compress certain file. It appears that compression/decompression is handled behind the scenes so to say and what you are present with is sequence of bytes. The data field consists of sequence of header bytes followed by the actual data. The first four bytes define an offset to the start of the data. One thing that we are trying to determine is the meaning of other bytes in the header.
I have uploaded a sample project at: [URL]
This project is by no means a finished product. It is hard code to retrieve the first record from the included Access database.

MySQL databases exists for saving values as strings (text only). Is there any way that i could store files with the same speed as a mysql command ? I know that it depends on the file size but lets say that the file is "Avatar.jpg" 50KB... I ve tried FTP but this is not what im looking for. e.g. You want your users been able to upload a file like the [Add This Attachment] button does in dreamincode.net and you dont have any background on PHP/HTML/Javascript/ASP.NET just VB.NET and the basics of MySQL plus you dont want to use it for a website. How do you accomplish this? Something silly that ive tried was opening an image as text then update the mysql server with that text but it didnt work backwards after i wrote the text on the file and oppened it ...it said that the image was corrupted.
View 7 RepliesWhat i have going on, is i have a MySQL connector as a resource on my application, and im basically trying to connect to my MySQL server, to either a) register a new account, or b) check that the account exists and they are premium, and login, Now what i have run into problems with is: My MySQL Database Name has a _ in it which VB is not allowing for some strange reason.
The code i am using is below
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class Form1
Function UpdateRecord(ByVal query As String) As Integer

How i can allow the _ into the application, because the only databases that don't have a _ in the user or dbname are a) Paid ones which i DO NOT have the money for or self hosted ones, i cannot leave my computer on 24/7
