I made a device (it's a remote-control your computer thing). Is it possible to interact with it using USB & VB.NET? If so, how? I've looked around and it doesn't seem to be part of the framework, but maybe there's some API I could use? I could always use serial ports, but I don't really want this device to require a battery. Is it possible, and if not, is there another way I could do this?
View 16 RepliesI am currently using the code from this thread:Click Here Using the code how would i allow the user through the client to send a message to the server which specifies the user the message is intended for as well as the message. I know how to send messages as there is a function for that in the code supplied in the link.Though how do i associate usernames with each client? As i saw a username property has been created in the code but how do i use it for the purposes i want?
I also need to be able to test the username and password fields for a login system..
I have a Windows Form Application which has been developed in vb.net 3.5. It is a charting program and shows stock market charts to users. Now I have made another program in vb.net (same .net version) and I want this program to interact with the one I made before. The new program is like a small scripting language. So for example: if I run a script then its output should be reflected in the other program. How can the two programs communicate ? Both will be running on same systems. No remote stuff. I mean passing arrays,strings or possibly structures.
Plus I have several functions which are written in first program. Is it possible for the other program which is an .exe also to call the functions of the other one if I make sub/function public or something. The reason is we can calls functions or subs if we include a dll. But can one exe calls functions/sub of another exe (if both program are in .net).

What methods are available for me to have these app's communicate with each other?
Question is related to rather simple programs typically presenting some data in a few datagridviews, charts etc. And consisting typically of a main form and one or two settings forms.I'm trying to program in a layered structure, pulling every bit of code out of any form class, and having a seperate "program class" for any form that I make. Now.. So far you can't complain on that I guess, but how to do this in best coding practice? In the form class I make a member object of the program class, hence making the program class a child of the form. Now I'm able to create events in the child class, and have handler methods in the form, without writing delegate classes (it seems). Now, that is fine, as it enables me to update the form controls with such events happening in the program class. However, how do I send events the other direction, from the form (parent) to the program class (child)? I guess I don't have to use events, I could just use the member object to access public methods in the program class directly, with passing of parameters from the form controls.. however, is that good practice? Or should I use events also that direction, and how to make that work, do I need to introduce delegate classes

I am working on a porject that interlinks a PC and PIC using the USBtoUART programmer for Serial Communication.
I have just started using and reading the Book on Visual Basic 2008 Professional and read the book by ROD STEPHENS <VB 2008> Programmer's Reference.
However, I would like to know where should I start working from?
I personally want to start from building the Visual Basic interface that enables serial communication between PC and the USBtoUART converter.

What kind of objects should BLL and DAL use for communication - DataTable or List<Customer> (for example)? In first case, BLL logic should transform Customer object to DataTable and send it to DAL. In secod case, DAL layer should be aware of Customer class, which is in BLL layer. But originaly DLL references DAL and not opposite...
Should I put all classes into seperate assembly, which is referenced by all others (Common, BusinessObjects, ...)? In this case I could use Customer class in all my projects. Should I even bother to seperate DAL and BLL when I know, that only one BLL will use my DAL. In this case I could merge them together into one project. PS - I am reading about DataTables and a lot of people say that we shouldn't use them at all. What are better options? Maybe it is time for me to learn some ORM mapping tools :)

View 4 RepliesI;m making an application (who ins't xD), anyways, I'm using some encapsulation objects to transport stuff to the BLL. i was wondering (and might be sound stupid, I know) what you guys think is better practice:Either use Objects for transporting lots of stuff (like a BLL object to transport all its attributes) Or-handle around Strings through the GUI and only create objects when strictly needed.
Another question that just popped my mind: I'm using a Validation class in the BLL in order to validate stuff like "This particular object is already mapped, error" or "This is not well formed", and throw exceptions, instead of boolean values, since I'm at BLL level. Do you guys use a Validation class or perform the validation from the object itself? The old "who's responsible" problem.

View 1 RepliesI have a device that communicates with the pc via a serial to usb cable. So I have made windows form with a serial communication to speak with it. The communication is every 125ms so every time it checks if the com port is open and sends the new message. The problem is that if the usb is not connected the program tries every 125 ms to connect to the serial port and the busy cursor appears always and the form is not responding to any action (for example enter into the menu or refresh a listbox). I have tried multiple times to connect and disconnect the usb while the program is running. That's mean that the serial connection stopped and started all over again several time. The problem is that occasionally it shows an error "unable to open com port".

View 4 RepliesI would like to create a Windows Service that uses settings that are set from a GUI application, such as a Windows Forms application. I have seen this type of feature in programs that allow you to set options like "Run as service" within a Forms application, surely there must be a way. I have only came up with a rather primitive way of going about it, which is, to have a GUI create a text file with a predefined format that the Windows Service recognizes and at a predefined directory. And then have the Windows Service just read from that predefined directory with a predefined file name. But, this seems rather cumbersome.
