I am using a message queue successfully as I am testing while I am writing a new program. (This is my first time using a message queue.) I have to have multiple instances of my program running, so I was wondering if this would be a problem with the queue? I have tested it and it looks fine, but I didn't know if it is by coincidence, or if the queues were separate.

This is the first time I have used this messaging library and used some example code to implement it. The first time I ran it it worked perfectly but I abruptly stopped the code since my parsing method seemed wrong. So when I restarted it, the code freezes at the following line:

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solution to my problem, and its probably because I don't know exactly how to ask the right question - can anyone here point me in the right direction?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a program that uses a COM Object exposed by a .dll. The .dll has a known bug, though, where it acts very erratically when more than one instance of the object is created under one .dll, resulting in crashes or corrupted data a large part of the time. I'm curious if there is some way I can load another instance of the .dll itself, then create another instance of the object without having to need a new process for every instance.
View 9 RepliesI have an windows application (created using visual studio 2005) and it also is using an autocad .api. The user runs Autocad and the user enters various commands that will open forms. One of these forms, contains Windows.Forms.LinkLabels with paths to the autocad drawing files they've attatched (.dwg). When they click on the link, I need the file to open in the existing Autocad they already have open; however, the problem is that it's opening a new instance of Autocad and placing the file into it. How can I make it so it opens in the existing Autocad program already open? [Code]
View 4 RepliesI'm creating a twitter account manager using the Twitter API. I have multiple accounts, over 10 of them. I want to automate all 10 of these accounts to do certain things, now the way I started to code the program was so that it would accommodate only one account, and all the codes worked perfectly and were managed by individual timers for individual processes that I wanted done. i could tweet between certain intervals, follow people who tweet certain things without me being on top of it.
Now the problem is that I've been trying to create new instances of subs that I've already created so that I dont have to create 10 new subs with the exact same procedures. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to create copies of subs dynamically or within a loop but it didn't stop me from trying. So question is how can I edit a program that was designed to accommodate and automate only one account, to potentially accommodate over a 100? I don't need codes or anything I need ideas so I can try them, but right now I'm completely blank.

txtSubject1Info.SelectionStart = txtSubject1Info.Find("Hey!")
I am finding specific words in the RichTextBox (in this case, "Hey!") and selecting them by getting their initial position through the "Find" command. Unfortunately, this does not work when I have multiple instances of "Hey!" in the RichTextBox. Here's an example:
Text in RichTextBox:
Hey! This is cool!
The Find command would return a value of 0 in this case. However, let's take a look at another scenario:
Text in RichTextBox:
In this case, the Find command would return a value of 0 again, but I want it to get the initial position of the second "Hey!" statement. I'm wondering how I can do this.
I have a program that is using API's to send mouse events and keyboard events to another application that is running. I need to know how to tell if there are any messages left to process for that window after I have click on a button or moved to the next field. I need to know this so I don't send any more mouse or keyboard events until it has finishing processing everything in its message queue. An example is that I click out of the key field and the form has to go out and read a client record. This may take a second or two, so I need to wait until the form is ready for more input.

I am currently going through Murachs Beginning vb.NET and have come across an problem with one of the exercises at the end of the chapter on collections. I basically have to update a simple Invoice application that was developed in an earlier chapter.It requires me to update the app such that everytime a new invoice object is created ( via pressing the new invoice button) this object is added to a queue. I am ok with this part.However I then have to edit the exit procedure so that the invoice objects are dequeued and displayed in a message box. This is where I am having my trouble. My code so far is shown below. This consists of the form.vb and the and the Invoice class.[code]I have also added a diagram of the format for the message displayed in the message box. I know I have to iterate through the queue but how can display the invoice customer name and invoice total?
View 4 RepliesI am processing a local message queue and every now and then getting an "Insufficient resources to perform operation" error message when there is over 2GB RAM free.The queue is very small (often only a couple of items (if that) and never exceeds 50 items), with the items themselves being just a very basic class that consists of a filename (as a string), two integers, two booleans and one enum (i.e. very little actual data)In order to check the size of the message queue, I have a timer that ticks every 5 seconds, and when it does calls the following code:
Private Function GetQueueLength() As Integer
Dim QueueLength As Message() = ProcessQueue.GetAllMessages
Dim Length As Integer = QueueLength.Length[code].....
In the Catch of Try-Catch there are the following two properties:
e.Exception.Message.Count()
e.Exception.Message
Does the .Count mean there are multiple lines in .Message? If not, what is the .Count used for?
I get the error that 'send' is not a member of "timestudy.outlook.mailitem"[code]...
View 4 RepliesAny best method of managing multiple SQL connections .net (VB). My application connects to four instances of SQL Server (2000, 2005, 2008, 2008R2) restoring databases, modifying data and taking backups. In addition to managing databases the app also has its own DB (on the 2008 instance) for storing various data. I'm using two methods to connect to the instances, SMO (For backups, restoring and retrieving information about the databases, size etc) and SqlClient for querying each database for many tasks such as updating fields and executing sql scripts.I have multiple forms for performing various tasks so there are many places I'm opening / closing connections.
Would it be best to maintain a persistent global connection to each instance from the application? (Two in total, one for SMO and the other for SqlClient) or open close a connection for each task I'm performing?) I'm not using LINK as I need the tasks to be as fast as possible. The connection string will differ on each connection (Based on Instance and Database being connected to) how would I manage this? A string in the config file for the applications database would make sense, as that would be static but the databases being worked on will vary with each connection. Currently I'm creating a connection for each instance within the main form:
Dim 2000Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2000;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")
Dim 2005Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2005;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")
Dim 2008Connection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=" & SQLServerName & _
"SQL2008;Initial Catalog=Master;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd;Pooling=True;")

I have the following problem. (VB.Net 2008)I have created a class (myFirstClass). In this class there are a lot of calculations being made wich gets fired by events in that same class.Now i want that same class to be able to fire more instances of itself. However i noticed that each time i fire an event from a Sub the program waits till the event is finished before going to the next line of code. This is a problem since i want the event wich fires a new instance of the class to fire it and forget about it.
View 7 RepliesI have two forms in my application. Form 1 is a listview that is populated with unique Customer IDs. When the user double click the listview on the particular Customer ID then it loads Form2. Form2 has many listviews within it such as a listview for the Customer telephone, another listview for their addresses etc and all the data presented in Form2 listviews are based on the Customer ID that the user clicked in Form1.
So here is my question...I want the user to be able to open Form2 with that particular details of the customer but also to go back to Form1 and double click another Customer ID and opens Form2 again (such as replicating Form2) with the other Customer details.So the moral of the story is i want the user to be able to have many instances of Form2 open each time they wish to view a different Customer ID without having to close Form2 down every time.
My ultimate goal is to get a list of PIDs and have a user select 1 of them.For example: the process image name is program.exe. The application name varies for each instance the program.exe is run, and therefor each application name has its own PID associated with it. By application name I mean the Task name under the Applications tab of Windows Task Manager. Another issue I face is that some systems run x64, so the name is no longer program.exe but program.exe*32
So my issue is, how do I search for program.exe, or on x64 platforms program.exe*32, and if there are multiple instances of program.exe/program.exe*32 running, how can I get a list of PIDs for each and associated them with the application name as the Task name under the Applications tab of Windows Task Manager.that might sound a bit confusing! So if it is, please let me know and I will try to explain more. Any reference guides or example code would be greatly appriciated as I have only used the "System.Diagnostics" but once.

View 2 RepliesI have an application which the user can open multiple instances on the same machine. However, a section of the app would have sync problems if more than 1 instance has control over it. This is where I thought of transferring control, or sharing, between them. What should I be looking into?
They would have to be able to identify which one of them has control and to send text information over. I thought IPC or Named Pipes could do the trick, but I'm unfamiliar with them and examples seem to indicate only a single server will work. Here, I have multiple instances of the same app and every one of them needs to be able to listen for that request for control.

View 14 RepliesI have created an alarm program but am having an issue creating multiple alarms. Here is what I have so far. I have created an array to hold multiple instances(10) of alarms that I want to run concurrently.
Code:
Dim SetAlarms(7, 9) As String
Public Shared x As Integer = AlarmNumb
'X=alarmnumb

What I cannot figure out is how to get the program to read the array and recognize each row as a separate alarm to process. This means it must read the array, know which variables to populate with what information and cycle thru the list.
I have a sub that runs on a button click which I want to create a new instance of a custom class and add it to a list of already created instances of this class. I want the result to be a List Of collection of all of my class instances.
My problem is that each time I run the sub, it simply 'overwrites' the first instance of the class and adds a copy of it to the list instead of writing a new instance. My code is along these lines
dim objFixture as new clsFixture
For n As Integer = 1 To intNoOfChannels
objFixture.SetChannelAddress(n, intCurrentChannelTotal + 1)
intCurrentChannelTotal += 1
next
lstFixtures.Add(objFixture)

1. value is entered into textbox and button is clicked
2. if form1 is open with that value, Bring it to the front if not, create a new instance of form1
If Not IsNothing(frmForm) Then 'If it is something
If Not frmForm.IsDisposed Then 'it's not disposed
'loop through the open form1s and compare the form1s property to the startform textbox
'if its the same, bring the form1 to the front

I am writing an application whose main purpose will be to collect user-entered data on a prescribed time interval (to be used by a dr. during anesthesia to collect patient vitals during surgery). I am attempting to accomplish this by having a form opened from the main window on every tick of a timer. The problem, is that if the user is a bit slow in entering the data on the first window, and the timer ticks again before they submit the first form, when the form is reopened (currently by simply using a show() command), the process of opening the form again simply overwrites the original form rather than creating a second instance.What is the best way to open a second (and possibly 3rd, 4th... nth) instance of the same form?
