May 17, 2009I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.
View 10 RepliesCached Objects Staying In Memory?
Mar 24, 2010I have a asp.net web forms app that uses System.Web.Caching.Cache to cache xml data from a number of web services for 2 hours.
webCacheObj.Remove(dataCacheKey)
webCacheObj.Insert(dataCacheKey, dataToCache, Nothing, DateTime.Now.AddHours(2), Nothing)
Every 90 minutes a Microsoft Search Server hits a particular (spider) page which calls the code to put the objects into the cache.The issue i have is that over a period of time, the memory usage of the application grows exponentially. Lets say that in a week, the memory usage of the application pool grows to over 1gb
Service Not Staying On Unless Started Manually?
Nov 7, 2011So I have this Windows service created in VB.Net, and all it does is perform a few calls and sits there.I have it installed on a test machine and when I start it manually, it starts up. When I stop manually, shuts down properly (onStop is called).When I start it, and reboot the machine, the service starts like it should, but when I log in, the service isn't running anymore and the onStop never showed up as being executed.I installed the service with admin privileges, so that shouldn't be an issue.Here is what I have:
Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()[code].....
VS 2010 Date Not Staying As Shortdate?
Apr 21, 2011I am making a small bill manager program. I have setup a listview and I am using access db. Things are working great and when I pay a bill it enters in the database perfect, but when it is shown in the listview it shows the date plus the time. Why does it show correct in the database and not in the listview? I tried using .ToShortDateString instead .ToString but then it just tells me it doesn't like late binding.

View 2 RepliesSplashScreen Staying Open Even After Application Exits?
Apr 30, 2012Windows Forms VB Application.. I added a splashScreen to my application. And it was flashing only for a second then going away so I added a sleep timer to my Form Load event... The problem is now the splashScreen stays open even After Application exits, instead of simply closing at the end of the sleeptimer.. The Part of the Form Load event that is causing this is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

Timer - .net Console App Pausing And Staying Open?
Mar 20, 2012i am trying to understand how to keep my console app open even after it gathers data and sends it off. I am converting a GUI to the console app. It has a timer that fires the sub every 20 seconds. But it doesnt seem like it works in the console app since after it fires off the sub it closes the app without waiting.

View 2 RepliesQuotation Management (desktop) Applicaion In Vb 2008?
Sep 2, 2010Using WINFORMS (VB 2008 Professional) in an XP Pro system, I have been able to create Data entry forms that capture required variables from user necessary to generate price/profit/resources required for a given project. The entry forms comprise textboxes, numeric updowns, comboboxes. All my calcs run well and I output the control contents to tables in SQLExpress. (I am a landscape architect).
But, I have to find out how to:1. Save contents of all data entries on the quotation form as a Project1.(suffix) file (as well as the current SQL DB), such that the user can at a later date, reopen original quotation details and rework the original estimate by altering one or more of the controls on the form. User can then save again and so on until user issues his/her final quote estimate to client.
I have been on some journey trying to pin this down - to no avail really; although tempted to ring the infamous (and very eloquent) Beth Massi, thought I would seek help from this Forum first.
