Check If SQL Server Is Running Yet?
Jan 10, 2011I'm running into an issue with my application. If the laptop is just turned on and a user opens the application, the application attempts to hit a SQL server to do some work. The issue is that sometimes the SQL Server process hasn't started yet (slow laptop).
What is the preferred method for checking if this is running.
Do I check for it like a normal process?
Do I attempt to make a connection via ADO.NET and catch the error?

Feb 17, 2010I am currently using the code below to open outlook automatically.
Dim psInfo As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("OUTLOOK.EXE")
psInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
Dim myProcess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psInfo)
However, this simply opens a new instance regardless of whether it is already open or not. I'd like to check if there is an existing instance, and if so don't open outlook.

Dec 4, 2009I have a windows service written in .net framework 2.0. This service installs and runs perfectly fine on both XP and windows server 2003.We have a new 2008 box that we are migrating over to, so need to get this windows service up and running.When i try to 'start' the windows service on the 2008 machine, i get "Windows could not start the <service> service on local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."I have searched everywhere looking for an answer, and all I could find was a fix attributed to .net framework 1.1 for this same error. That; however, is not applicable here, as the service was written in 2.0.

Mar 28, 2011I have an application that will not load unless my local SQL Server is running on an Vista Home Premium machine. This started after a .Net 1 to .Net 4 conversion. I am using a sub main sub that is not being called (msgbox is not fired when entering the app), however, I see the app through taskmgr with increasing memory usage, but then the app is removed from the list. By design, if the program cannot locate a SQL Server a form pops up with a connection box to locate the SQL Server for the app. How it determines if it has a valid connection is the program looks for a connection string in the registry, then attempts to connect to it, however, none of this code executes because of the failure to enter into the sub main.The two machines I have tried the 32 bit app on

Game Programming :: Running Subs/funtions Simultaneously?
May 21, 2009i was wondering how to make subs and functions run simultaneously. For example, if i make a box move from the top to the bottom with a sub called move(byval e as label)
which takes say 3 seconds to move from top to bottom and i have
move(lblfirst)
thread.sleep(500)
move(lblsecond)
how would i make it so that it moves 500 miliseconds after the first one start to move, not 500 milliseconds after the first one finishes?
I tried application.doevents with a looped sleep and raiseevnet, none is working.
VS 2008 - Make The Server Check It With The Local VBulletin MySQL Database For The Username And Password?
Nov 14, 2009I have a chat server / client system running, but I want users to authenticate with my vBulletin forum database.I don't want the client to do it, because it is possible to fake the 'successful login' and connect with a fake username. I want to send the username and password details to the server, and make the server check it with the local vBulletin MySQL database for the username and password.Is there a way to do this? To my knowledge vBulletin has a username and a password entries in the database which is salted, and the salt varies from user to user.
View 7 RepliesCheck If A Player Has Won The Game?
Nov 25, 2009How would I check if a player has won the game? I've figured out that there is only eight possibilities for X and eight again for O which makes sixteen in total.Here is what I've tried so far..
If Square1.Text + Square2.Text + Square3.Text = "X" Then
MessageBox.Show("Player 1 has won the game!", "Player 1 wins!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
End If
I thought that this code will only allow that message box to appear only if all of the squares have X as its text. But the message box appears when there is only one square with X. How can I make it so that the message box only appears when all 3 squares have an X.
