how i can access this registry path (for eg) HKLMSoftwareMicrosoft with a .net 32 bit app in a 64 bit environment as it automatically goes to the wow path (HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoft)
In VB6 I could get around this with KEY_WOW64_64Key - can i access the above key in the registry with the built in .net methods?
I have been Google-ing for four days now and still i can find no solution to my problem:(and my brain hurts) i recently made a windows application that pulls data from a mySQL Database and populates my form but when i was told to use excel instead of MySQL thats when the problems started. while setting up vb to connect to MySQL i found a few articles that explained in good enough detail how to set up vb before ever doing any coding
ie.( boot vb, start windows form project, click project/add reference, click on the COM tab and add the MySQL reference then click ok. next click data/Add new data source, chose database click next, click new connection, choose MySQL data source click continue, enter database info(server, user, password, port) click ok. then start coding connection strings and commands ( which i have no problem with)
My problem i can find all sorts of code to work with excel but i feel i need to go through the same environment set up as with MySQL but i cant figure out how to set it up i only need to read data from excel file to populate my form data ie.( text boxes, labels, datagridview, Ect...) does anyone know how to set up the development environment to facilitate my use of excel. or does anyone know of a better way to store and retrieve my data maybe a vb local database ( does that travel with the .exe easily?)

Lets say that I have ip 1.0.2.114 to check, which is found beetween first line values of CVS, and its Australian IP, so is there way to read CVS file and if u put there ip 1.0.2.114 then msgbox shows "Australia"?

I need to be able to look at Offset 14 and Length is 1B. I need to be able to look at bit 0 - bit 5. I have NO idea how to read data like this so I wish I could be more specific but I can't. Can someone tell me how to read the specific bits and translate them? I have no idea how to google this. So if someone wants to point me to a search pattern. That would be awesome too.
Here is a chart that describes the bits:
bit 0 : Light LED (head) status, 0: OFF, 1: ON
bit 1 : IR-Radar power status. 0: OFF, 1: ON
bit 2 : IR-Radar detector status: 0: fine, 1: barrier detected.
bit 3-5: Charger staus
0x00 : nothing happen
0x01 : charging completed.
0x02 : in charging
0x04 : something wrong, error occur.
bit 6,7: undefined, do not use.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use an XmlTextReader to read simple XML data from a file I wrote using the XmlTextWriter class. I've very little experience with XML and reading/writing from it, so it's been a little struggle. The writing part went OK though, but I can't really figure out how to do the reading.

I am building a chat client/server. And I can connect and chat just fine, but when a user disconnects, the server does not recognize this and acts weird, often spamming the last message that was sent by the user..Also, it's like the client does not disconnect from the server even when I close the client app. Once I exit the program, VB acts like it is still debugging. Once the server is shut down however, I get this error:

Im working on a HSD 32 bit data bus to serial converter via a microcontroller. Now first I want to make a sort of data sniffer to read the data bus (32Bit) .All on the controller side is working and the stream of bytes are coming in via RS232 as 4 bytes in HEX like FD,A5,45,8B . I already converted the bytes in Dec and ASCII to determine what is passed true the bus and how fast and stuff.. Now that is all correct and working very well if the LSB (least significant bit) of the 32 data bus is Data line 0 and the MSB (most significant bit) is Data line 31 but if that is not the case I need to invert the 32Bits (like as I would invert the connector on the bus) . How do I best do this using the 4 bytes I send from the micro controller.
Example:
(MSB) 01001000 01100101 01101100 01110000 (LSB)
HEX= 48 65 6C 70
DEC= 72,101,108,112
ASCII= H E L P
I need to invert it with a button to:
(MSB) 00001110 00110110 10100110 00010010 (LSB)
HEX= 0E 36 A6 12
DEC= 14,54,166,18
ASCII= (SO) 6 : (DC2)
