[2008] Reducing The Code Duplication?
Mar 2, 2009Reading through "The Pragmatic Programmer", I've come across the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and Orthagonal (keep code modular) principles.I have a suite of modules, some of which have common procedures. Because each module is a separate project in Visual Studio, up until now I have simply copied code from one project to another when 1 module (project) needs to do the same function as another module (project). This is when functionality overlaps, not when 2 modules (projects) do everything the same.
I always suspected this was bad practice (and have seen the fruits of my suspicions when the subs get out of sync), and the book confirmed me in this belief. So, what I want to do is make a central code repository for the 4 or 5 common subs, but I don't know how to do it.Should I make a .dll file for each sub I want to use in multiple places? If so, how do I do that? Is there another way to do what I want to do?
1. I have a subroutine that takes a filepath (and if disconnected also a SqlConnection) and loads the referenced file into a database as a BLOB.
2. I have 3 separate projects in 1 VS solution that all run basically the same version of this code.
3. I want all 3 to run EXACTLY the same code.
4. I want 1 version of this code so that any changes made don't need to be made in 3 places.
5. I have a few other instances like this for other subroutines.
VS 2008 Reducing The Size Of The Tabs On A Tab Control?
Jun 28, 2011I noticed that when using a single letter as the title on a tab of a Tab Control , the tab is bigger that it should . Look on this example :
The above Tab Control behaves normally because the text on each tab is sufficient to keep it big enough . The lower Tab Control , however , has its tabs too big . Is it possible to reduce its width ? I saw there is an ItemSize property of the Tab Controls , but unfortunately I can only modify the height of the tabs . No matter what value I set for its width , the width remains always the same (and larger than it should) ...

View 2 RepliesChanging Fonts In A Textbox - VB In VS 2008 Pro
Aug 2, 2010I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.
VS 2008 Automatically Install Fonts?
Oct 20, 2009I have made updates to my programs, including a large update with the fonts on my forms. The only problem is this font is not found on vista or Windows XP and must be downloaded. The program is completely ruined with its looks without it. Is their a way so that both Windows XP and Vista could download these fonts, On startup of the first form, Form Load maybe? Even if the user says that he or she would like to see the program with the fonts? I just don't want to take the many hours i wasted resizing with the new fonts, ect. If it would be easier I could ask the user if they are using Windows XP, Or Vista?

Mar 9, 2012I think I'm starting to wear out my welcome by posting so much one after another..but, I'm having so much fun with this..Like a kid in a candy store. one more thing then I'll give you fellows a break. I was trying to get the colors and fonts to go into the registry and have the program pull those settings back into the program when its opened up but i can't seem to get it right for some reason. I only included the one line in the Form1_Load and left what i had in the in the other. Obviously this code is incomplete, and not functional As Is. So how do I save the Font Size, and then Save the listview backColor and Forecolor in the reg, and retrieve those settings when the programs starts?

For Each tstr As String In Results
ListBox1.Items.Add(tstr)

I have other files too : tomb3.exe, and tomb4.exe I'd like to have those to search at once too. I tried "tomb*.exe", but then it didn't find anything.
How can I set the space between tomb and .exe to anything. So it searches all files that begin with tomb and end with .exe ?
Calculating GCF And Reducing
Jan 27, 2011I understand the basics of using VB.NET, what I don't understand is what I need to tell the computer to do. I'm supposed to create a subprogram to calculate the greatest common factor and another subprogram to reduce the fraction from the answers retrieved from the first subprogram. My teacher said something about using Mod to calculate it, and also attempted and failed to explain ByVal and ByRef parameters. I don't even know where to begin other than the parameters I have for each, and even those have a high chance of being completely wrong.[code]

Apr 8, 2010I'm still in the learning stages sorry, and this is probably simple to most of you but I couldn't find the answer through searching.I'm trying to work out how to replace each successive space in a piece of text with a single character from "% $ ! @ #" in that order, and loop.
Easier to explain with an example;say I have the text: "This is a piece of text I am using as an example."
It should end up looking like this: "This%is$a!piece@of#text%I$am!using@as#an%example."

View 11 RepliesSql Server - Reducing SQL Connections To Just 1 - ASP.net?
Feb 7, 2012I am currently working on an asp.net web page with a GridView displaying a table from a database.This GridView has 4 DropDownLists that will be used to filter the data shown on the GridView. When the page loads 4 Sub routines are run, each one connecting to the database with a select statement to fill the DropDownList with relevant filter headings.
Initially, I had one connection with a loop that populated all of the drop downs but these contained duplicates. I then split the filling of each DDL so that the select statements could contain DISTINCT. I would like (and am sure there is a way here) to be able to populate all of the DDLs with data from one connection.
Code for one connection:

Reducing The Number Of Colors In An Image?
Dec 23, 2011In the process of creating an Icon object, I need to reduce the numbers of colors in an image from thousands down to 256 or less. I do this by "chromatizing" the RGB values - counting the colors - then re-iterating the process with heavier "chromatization" until the number of colors is reduced to my requirement.
I searched these forums and google on this subject to find out more - but I found that I alone call this process "chromatization" it seems. So I was hoping someone could help me out with the correct terminology.
Specifically, I want to use the correct terminology on my UI buttons (at present I have a button labeled [Chromatize] . .) and I am curious as to whether it would be good practice to "chromatize" the Green most heavily, the Red more moderately, and the Blue least . . . or just "chromatize" them all equally which is what I have been doing
Reducing The Range Of A Bluetooth Device?
Oct 22, 2010i am currently working on an application that reads the MAC addresses of all phones within the range of our bluetooth reader on the workstation. However, we would like to reduce the range of the reader to < 1 meter. I have dont alot of research and the only solution that i have found is a hardware one; i.e. changing the device to a class 3 or getting a custom made device that will have it's range adjusted to our preferences. However, i also know that we can adjust the power that runs through the bluetooth device in order to reduce the range. Is there any way that we can reduce the power of the device ? We don't have many funds atm and we're looking at a software solution and not a hardware one.
