VS 2010 Show Webpage In A Windows Application?
Sep 16, 2010
Is there a .Net control I can use to display a web page from a vb.Net windows forms application?
I am writing an app that will produce a slide show from a specified directory. The idea is it will ideally include Images, Video clips (via Windows Media), URL's (held in a text file), PDF documents and power point presentations.
Images and media clips aren't an issue. At present I am looking at displaying specified web pages. I am aware that I can use
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://webinta/Pages/Home.htm"
to open a browser window, but I want control of that as after a specified amount of time it needs to close so I can display the next image (media clip, url etc).

We have a company intranet and the powers that be think it would be nice to have a collection of icons/links representing the applications that most reps use (Outlook, Excel, few other apps).
The idea would be that if the application is installed, clicking the link/icon would launch the application on the client machine.
Anyone ever had a requirement like that and been successful implementing it?

I have developed a VB 2010 express application that works on my windows 7 machine, but when I deploy it to other windows 7 machines the application will not run at all. I created an msi script to install the software on other machines and it includes the .NET 4.0 framework an all of my application dll's and such. Any idea what might be he problem?

Final step in my application. I finally got all the requirements working, but now I need to have the application run in the background.
The application was written in Visual Studio 2010 VB, Win form app.
The requirements are as follows:
1.) run the application at start up
2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.
Here's the full code I have right now (working! whahoooo)
Public Class Form1
Private Property count As Integer
Private s As New Stopwatch
[CODE]...

At present I have wrote an application (in-house CRM, vb .net 2010) which allows me to send emails under the selected customer & I categorised these emails.As these are categorised I can return data to display email history in my program by using search criteria:
Dim oMail As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)
Dim sSearch As String
sSearch = "[Categories] = '" + "[" + tAccount.Text.Trim + "]" + "(" + tShipTo.Text.Trim + ")'"
Dim oItems As Outlook.Items = oMail.Items.Restrict(sSearch)
However the limitation to the above is it only looks at sent items & no other folder.My ideal solution would be to display all email correspondence for a certain contact.

I have a problem I am trying to solve in an elegant manner. I have a .net application that I have created. I am trying to get one of the forms to be shown from a webpage. This sounds strange I'll admit, so here is the backstory
We have some large monitors at work, that show information on them. I have no control over how the information is displayed. Currently they are just using a browser and tabbing in the browser to show each different piece of information on the screen. Most of the info they show is just standard html stuff, text and images.
Now along comes my winforms application. The part of the application I need to show is a graphical display. Everything on this display is drawn using GDI+, if that matters. I need to get this form into a format that I can show. Below is my own solution, but I am pretty sure this is not the best method, but it may be the only method I can use[code]...
I though about doing something with the clients, however the clients are not always up, so I could have periods where the image wouldnt be updated.
I also was thinking about an ASP.net solution, but that would require me to learn ASP.net, and I am not quite ready to take that challenge

I'm working on a vb.net web application and want to make it to where when someone puts in a url into the browser or when someone clicks on a shortcut, a new browser window is opened but there is no back or forward, no refresh, no navigation bar, etc. Does anyone know how to do this or if it's even possible? I just want the browser shell essentially.

I developed an application in Visual Basic 2010 Express which has two features:
1) It is portable and uses some .dlls which must be in the same folder
2) Requires Administrator in order to run
I want my application to run on windows startup. So i created the registry string value and made some tests that gave me the following results:
1) Windows XP -> Runs on startup without any errors
2) Windows 7 Starter -> It simply ignores my application
3) Windows 7 Premium -> The run confirmation box from unknown publisher appeared and when i selected to run, AVG gave a virus warning
4) Windows 8 Consumer Preview -> It simply ignores my application

I am creating a simple researcher application to access and store data. As of today it workes by entering a number into a text field and hit enter/button. The result then shows up in a non-menu webbrowser window. What i would like it to do was to exclude the web browser window, and instead show in a popup window inside the application. This should be rather easy, here's what i think might be a problem. I want only to show specific lines from the webpage, not the whole page.

So I listen to slacker radio a lot and I would really like to create an application that I can keep open on my desktop to be able to change songs among other things I want to keep all the limitations that the website has (such as not being able to skip through to many songs or anything like that) I don't want to make a huge difference I just want something that I can use to keep on my desktop to play music from so that I don't have to keep a chrome window open all the time (since I tent to close it out and lose my music) I'm just wondering if this will be a hard task... It doesn't have to look extremely beautiful functionality is the main thing i'm shooting for.

Working on a project trying to use mysql and Visual Studio C++ 2010. I have an established connection to the database on a server using a connection string. My issue is I am not sure how to get the retrieved data displayed in dataGridView. Below is where I have my code for the button named Search. Right now all I am trying to do is get already inserted information out and displayed. Not sure if I am utilizing the dataGridView correctly or if there is another way. When I select bind to database I do not show any data sources even though in my server explorer window I show that I am connected. I have googled my eyes out and still havent found any information relating to a non console application. Here is some code that worked and returned a value of 1 to a textbox just stating that it had no errors in the execution. [code]

one of the apps that I wrote a couple months ago is getting to be rolled out to my production floor; one issue tho - It works great as a standard executable (you double-click, it starts and waits for data), however, I cannot get it to start as a system service.
I've already done a little bit of research for how to create a system service, but most of the information that I've come across is point to VC# or Visual Studio 2010 - I'm not finding much for VB 2010. Additionally, I'm only using VB 2010 Express and I'm pretty sure that I don't have the Windows Service application template's on my PC.
My application does have a "UI", but there isn't any user interaction; it starts and just sits minimized in the system tray polling a directory for the existence of a file - i.e. the windows form is not required.

A VB routine assembles a string of email addresses. It is sent to the clipboard with
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Atext
Where Atext is the address string The email client is opened with
lRet = ShellExecute(hWnd, "open", "Mailto:", vbNull, vbNull, SW_SHOWNORMAL)
At this point, when the email client is Outlook, the clipboard doesn't show what was added to the Windows clipboard above regardless of whether we use a left click in the BCC box or a CTRL-V.

What I have is on my form there are several text boxes. These text boxes are for user input and attached to each text box is a Private Sub txtBox1_KeyPress function. In that function I have some validation code to check that the user is inputing only what I want them to. And if it doesnt it will pop up a message box telling them so, then it is supposed to clear the text box so the user can try again. But no matter what I try, the text box does not clear it still keeps the last character typed (the invalid one).
Here is the code for one of the text boxes.
Private Sub txtLanIp_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtLanIp.KeyPress
Dim strEmpty As String = ""
If Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) = True Or Char.IsPunctuation(e.KeyChar) = True Or Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) = True Then
'do nothing
[code]....
The commented methods at the bottom are some of the other things ive tried to make this work. The txtLanIp.text.clear() is what ive tried from the beginning. I have also tried setting the text to "", I even created an empty string and set the .Text value to it but no matter what it wont remove that character. I have also tried various trim(), len(), Select() functions, most either give me an 'index out of range error', a 'length cannot be less than zero' error or a general ExceptionOutOfBounds error. I am just tearing my hair out as to why the simple way doesnt work, there is no logical reason why and it gives no error it just doesn't clear the box.
I have also tried moving the validation to a _LostFocus but e.KeyChar isnt a valid method or property for that declaration, which doesn't surprise me but I wanted to try everything.I dont see how it would matter in this case but I am running Windows XP Pro SP3, though I also see the same behavior in Windows 7 64 bit ultimate sp1 and windows 7 64 bit pro.
