VS 2010 Difference In How .NET And VBS Handle COM Objects
Sep 24, 2010
I am trying to use a free 3rd-party DLL (SmartWIM.DLL - Smartdeploy Imaging Component) which is, essentially, a COM wrapper for the WIMGAPI DLL for creating images of Windows drives.You have to register the dll with REgSVr32 of course Now, included with the installation package is a VBS that does a CreateObject for the SmartWIM object. When I use the VBS I can successfully create an image with the CaptureImage method.However, when I convert the same code to VB.NET and called exactly the same method, the CaptureImage method "hangs".By that I mean it successfully creates an image file but then doesn't do anything else. I am at loss to understand why it would work when run via a VBS and not work in a VB.NET Console application?

I have a handle event that takes care of about 50 buttons. Is there a way to determine which button is being clicked when the event is handled? I have tried using the FromHandle, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I have created a PictureBox array to hold 104 playing cards that are all visible at the same time.I did this with this line in the declarations:Shared Card(104) As PictureBox
And with these lines in the Form_Load module:
For I% = 1 To 104
Card(I%) = New PictureBox
Card(I%).Name = String.Format("Card{0}", I%.ToString)
Card(I%).Size = New Size(71, 96)
[Code]...
I have been successful in creating the array, positioning each and entering the images for all 104 PictureBoxes, but now I want to add code for the event "MouseDown.I copied the code for this event from my VB3 program and VB10 automatically updated the list of parameters, but nothing has linked the objects (Card) to the code.
I have tried to append "Handles Card.MouseDown" as well as several variations with brackets to indicate that it is an array.Auto-complete doesn't include "Card" as an option, and of course, since the array was never an object added to the form design, I can't create the empty module from there.

I've been thinking about my options when it comes to events in vb.net.What I'd like to do is to track events that are fired in an application without explicitly declaring them with 'handles' sub. Here is a pseudo-[code]....
Yeah I know, not quite working, but is there any way of implementing something like this in vb.net? My end game is really to be able to monitor events fired in many objects from another object, isn't there a more maintainable way to do that then to add a special sub in each object that handles the event that I want to catch? I need some way to let one object handle events fired in other objects without a special sub, the AddHandler goes a long way, but I can't really use that dynamically like so:[code]....

I have an RDLC report that I am rendering directly to the Response Stream as PDF (rather than using the ReportViewer). In the code that renders the report, it's DataSource is bound to a List(Of ClassA) objects defined in a custom assembly. This seems to work for the most part. My problem is that I can't seem to handle the situation where a nested object is null. For example, given ClassA and ClassB (the nested object) defined as follows:
Public Class ClassA
Public Id As Integer
Public Name As String
[Code]....
the report displays "#Error" if TheNestedObject is null. If TheNestedObject is not null, it correctly displays the Name.

I've got a form that acts as a progress report for a long running operation, it has a listview on it (which I might be replacing with a DGV soon) that gets updated with progress updates from a background thread that is doing all the work. The method running on the background thread raises events that the form then handles and adds the string passed in to this event to the listview. The method running on the background thread raises progress update events several times a second and for each of these updates the event handler on the form must invoke a method on the UI thread to actually add the item to the listview.
This works fine on my test PC (which has a quad core CPU and 8 GB of RAM) but others have reported that after a while the form goes to the Not Responding state so I'm assuming all of these updates on the UI thread are being requested too often for it to be able to process them all as well as user input.So I'm looking for a better solution and have come up with the following:When the background thread raises these progress updated events, instead of them being added to the listview instantly I add them to a Queue(Of String). Then every second the form would check this queue and remove any items currently in it and add them to the listview - using a Queue(Of T) instead of a List(Of T) should guarantee they come out in the correct order. Both of these operations (adding to the queue and reading/removing from it) would be done under a SyncLock block that would lock on the same object to avoid both threads trying to work with the queue at the same time, so there would still be some contention but I'm hoping it would mean the UI thread only gets busy once a second instead of potentially roughly 30 times a second as it is doing now.Does that sound like a good plan? Can anyone think of a better way of handling this?

I have been working on a program and I need it to unzip a zip file. I tried handling a zip file as a directory but that didn't work.It wouldn't hurt if I could compress files into a zip file to! But I need unzipping the file first.This is my code handling it as a directory:
Dim count As Integer = Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Games" & game & "�00.zip").Length
MessageBox.Show(count)
It has an error saying it is not a valid directory name.

Only now, I'm facing this kind of problem, i have a application that until now worked with two different cultures ENG and PT, i always knew this, and i manage to solve all problems related to parsing the numbers, but now i have to change the code, and "protect" the code to handle with others cultures. So i need tips/best way to handle different cultures, and different database culture settings.I think that i shouldn't limit the user, by setting the decimal, the grouping digit, the date time format, etc. . The application should accept the numbers in the user current culture. But this path forces me to putting everywhere the parse/tryparse method.

I always used to define variables like Dim xxxx As yyyyy. In the tutorials I'm looking at though they do Private Const xxxxx As yyyyy. I wonder just what is the difference here? What is the significance of this change? What am I actually doing with 'Dim' and what is this Private Const doing different?

I am working on a new version of my clipboard manager. I was wondering if there would be a way to copy the value of a given handle without knowing its type? The current methods I know require one person to know the type of the handle (as an example by using Marshal.PtrToStructure).

I have an event in a module, like this:
vb.net
Module Module1 Public Event Event1(Value as Boolean)End Module
I want to be able to handle this event from different forms. This is what I tried to do...
vb.net
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Event1Handler(Value As Boolean) Handles WindowsApplication1.Event1 End SubEnd Class
But I get a squiggly line under WindowsApplication1 that says Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. I tried to swap Module1 in, but same thing. I tried without anything in front of Event1, but still nothing.

Im using an excel sheet as a datasource to retrieve som values that I use to draw a modified voltmeter.
However the excel sheet is DDE-linked to another application (3rd party) that updates it on a realtime basis. Every once in a while, that means my app gets a value it cant handle, or it cant access the specific cell because its being written to.
This causes my picturebox (voltmeter) to draw an error image. Now I would have thought that once it�s supposed to redo the whole operation (datafetching and drawing) that would get rid of the error image (it�s on a timer). It doesnt.So how do I solve this? If I close the form and reopen it, that takes care of the problem, but I dont want to do that.

I am trying to calculate the difference between 2 times.
So far I have 4 labels.
Label1 = Current date and time.
Label2 = Contains the exact time that the application was last closed.
Label3 = Contains the exact time that the application was opened.
Label4 = I want this label to say how much time in seconds had elapsed between the application last being closed and the application being opened again, in other words the difference in seconds between label 2 and label 3.
Below is what I have done so far, but despite repeated efforts I can't seem to find a way of getting the time difference to show in label 4?

I am a PHP developer and I have never worked with VB before (well maybe since high school 10 years ago). I am looking to either use vb or c++ to create this, but I have limited knowledge of any programming outside of web programming.

I have been working on an image capturing tool for a long time now & I was wondering how some of those programs are able to make an aero capture of a form.I know you can capture a window if you have it's handle by using the BitBlt, but that doesn't keep the transparancy of the aero form.Let me give you an example:I did a lot of research on google but I never found anything close to something that explains how to do it.
