WebBrowser Control Printouts Graphically Corrupt With IE9 Installed
Mar 17, 2011
Having installed the IE9 update a couple of days ago, I'm left in the same boat that I found myself in when I tried the IE9 RC. Namely, documents printed via .Print() from a WebBrowser control in .NET no longer print correctly. What the user sees in screen is vastly different from what comes out of the printer. There will be missing characters and whitespace discrepencies virtually every time.
Here is an example:
The top is what inevitably comes out of the printer when the bottom is what the user sees on screen (outside of the pixelized part of the name & address--that was me).
If I uninstall IE9, the problem goes away.

I'm working on an ultrasonic sonar and I would like to use the computer to display a standard green radar system detecting the objects.I'm using a micro controller with the software written in C to send out the sensor's angle and position and it works fine.On the computer side, I'm using Visual Basic 2010 to read the COM port which then contains the sensor's data in numbers (sensor's angle and distance between sensor and object) which is a constant stream. On the debug screen (Textbox) I can already see all the data coming through.
Now my question is: How do I convert those numbers into graphics?More explanations about these numbers I want to convert:I have a step motor to rotate the ultrasonic sensor, and it works that way: The motor advances 1 step forward, then measure distance between sensor and object, then send these 2 values out. So, if you see the attached file, those numbers on the text box mean:
000032 -> 000: step number & 032: 32cm between sensor and object
001031 -> 001: step number & 031: 31cm between sensor and object
002032 -> 002: step number & 032: 32cm between sensor and object
003007 -> 003: step number & 007: 7cm between sensor and object
and so on...
So those are the numbers I wish to convert into graphics. The scan line would need to rotate clockwise at same speed of the step motor. And then I would like to display dots when an object is detected.

I use webbrowser as File Explorer.
If you click folder it opens new folder contents in WB window but if you click html document it opens in EXTERNAL viewer.
How do you get html document to open in WB while exploring ?

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Ive tried to edit option on the webbrowser control, example javascript enable/disable. but found out that it uses IE's option and cannot be changed.So my question is: Is there a way to do a "webbrowser" without using the WEbbrowser control that is based on internetexplorer? If it is, can i change option example flash and so on?

I have a regular application form with a WebBrowser control.I have strung together a .htm file (from a regular text file) which I then assign to the WebBrowser control. In the html file, I have filenames mentioned.I am trying to string together the html in such a way as to give a clickable link or button that will parse into html and open the corresponding file in another WebBrowser control in VB.I have tried using VBScript and JavaScript to put a button in the html.As long as the function or sub I call is also in the same html document, it works, but I really need to transfer the control back into visual basic where I can do the heavy lifting I need to.can I just not do this as a regular VB application? Any way to do it without adding the complication of requiring ActiveX?

I have had a user of my VB.net web app complain he keeps getting an intermittent error message, causing him to crash out of the system.
Stack Trace:
[FormatException: Invalid character in a Base-64 string.]
System.Convert.FromBase64String(Strings) +0
System.web. UI. LosFormatter.Deserialize(String input) +25
[code]...
It appears from the error message that the viewstate keeps becoming corrupt (see screen-dump below), but I don't understand why. He claims it happens every 2-3 minutes, but I've used the system a lot and have never experienced it.I should mention too that he is using the web-app in a very "non-standard" way. To achieve optimum speed he's actually using remote desktop, to connect to our server directly, and running it as localhost. ("Madness!"- yes, I know. I didn't make the decision.) That may not be relevant of course.

I keep getting the following error in XP only (not Vista or Windows 7) Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt The interesting thing is that the error is on a line that basically just creates a bitmap:
vb
Dim B as New Bitmap(400, 300)
This is in a timer and doesn't always happen the same time - eg sometimes it happens in 2 seconds sometimes it gets to 10 seconds - the interval is 50ms?

I'm transferring from one FTP (a Dev site) to another FTP (a Test site). Spare me the thoughts of changing this process. In any case, here's my method:
Public Function TransferFile(originalFile As String, destinationFile As String) As String
Try
'FileStream for holding the file
Dim uploadRequest As FtpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(destinationFile)
uploadRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
[Code] .....
This works perfectly for ASPX files and their .vb code behinds. When we try to transfer .DLL files, they show up on the server as 0 bytes, and sometimes actually transfer. The problem is that, despite being the same size as the original, they act as if they are corrupt.

I�ve had a problem iwht my app for some time now. It�s very slow and above all it takes forever to startup. I�ve been adressing som issues that has to do with the database behind it.Recently I noticed that the app is starting an instance of excel, which seems to be what�s taking it so long in the starting process. The app is using access as db, and the db has some linked excelsheets. The app is also running some code in excel, but it�s starting, and terrminating, separate instances for that.The linked excelsheets are also "live-linked" to another app (third party), fetching real time data via DDE I think.

I am working on which is displaying "Live" CPU stats for a remote Server.I am creating a SWbemRefresher and everything works great, for about 2 minutes. Then I start getting "Odd" results, almost like the objects in it get corrupt.Let me explain. So I create my Refresher like this and iterate through each item in the collection, writing the results to a database:[code]....
The above works fine but after I while I start seeing strange results.So I may see things like 5 processes with the same ProcessID (which is impossible, or so I beleive?).Processes with apparently the same CPU usage which I know is incorrect.I also see processes with the incorrect ProcessID, so for example I may see ProcessID 123 and Process name CALC and then all of a sudden I will get ProcessID 123 process name winlogon, so the results are out of sync with each other.Attached is an example screenshot of what I mean which only shows two processes, but it does seem the longer I run the code (so say for 5 minutes) the more processes appear like the screenshot.
My thoughts are - the objRefresher.Refresh() does not finishfinishes half way through the loop, resulting in "skewed" results. I dont konw how I can wait or check to see if the Refresh has finished?I have tried everything I can think of and it doesnt make sense to me. Maybe a fresh pair of eyes will spot an obvious mistake .The target server is a Windows 2003 x86 SP1 box, the code is running on a Windows 7 x64 box.

Basically, we have an application which batch creates a large amount of files (pairs of PNG plus ASCII). The file count can exceed the one million.The first time the application ran the results were quite disappointing. The files get stored in folder structures of maximum 2000 files per folder. The tree depth gets only to two levels (root + packs folders). So the results would be stored in folders like "pack1","pack2"..."packn" each containing no more than 2000 files (1000 pairs in essence).
So getting back to the results, what happened was that although the application reported over 1.4 million files written, the results were that files were missing from the filesystem and others were corrupt (PNG cant be read and ASCII were blank filled with spaces).The speed that the files were written was not anything great (about 7 files per sec) and the total size ranged from 160K to 1.5M (rarely). The PNG images are 2000x2000 in size although I doubt it has anything to do with my problem.
Everything is done in pure .NET (image and ascii generation).The OS that has been tried was Win 2000 Advanced Server, Win 2003 Server plus XP Pro. The hardware ranged from Dual Core Workstation to high spec servers. The irony is that on the XP system the number of corrupt files was quite low where on the other two all hell broke loose. There were event logs written stating Event ID 2021 on the Win 2000 system and Paging faults on XP, which lead me to the next approach.
We wrapped the code to do an Application.DoEvents every second and refresh various statistic UI components. We obviously added Stream.Flush().Plus we added code to check the files (re-read them) once they are written. Even added "WriteThrough" option to avoid the OS cache! The result was stuggering as no errors were report yet the NTFS table again got corrupted!Now we inserted Thread.Sleep(100) after writing and then reading to confirm the file. Obviously this is slowing down the process but hope to have more stable results.
Reading and article about Event ID 2021 we saw it was suggesting to modify registry values, but the IT dep did not wish to accept this as they believe it is an application error.In pseudo code, here is more or less what is done:
<try>
<Create Image in memory>
<Open stream to filesystem>

I have coded in the older version of VB for years (VB6 and prior) and Recently I just began learning VB 2008. In my current project I made a mistake in a form name frmAuthors and so far I am unable to recover. The problem is that I tried to have the form inherit a class I had created (first mistake). The IDE generated a popup message stating the error and provided the option of changing from inheritance from system.windows.forms to the class I had created. I said yes just to see what would happen (I was bored so I was up for something new) and that's when the form got corrupted.Is there a way to let frmAuthors go back to recognizing itself as a form object and not a member of the object I had created?

I have a webbrowser control, where I show images (bmp files, that the program creates), and I want to add some UserControls to setup the images (as showing layers, or choosing colors to display). Is easy to do appropiate UserControls on VB.NET, and I know almost nothing about HTML, so, I would like to add standard VB.NET UserControls near the images.

I am working with Visual Studio Pro 2008, and trying to build a Visual Basic project for my College Course. The coursework is not my question, it's not difficult just time consuming. My problem appears to be much deeper, and is certainly causing me to take way more time than I should need to debug and completely random occurence. I don't mind posting the source code but it is rather vast, made up of 23 objects, each ranging from 200-700 lines. I am running Windows 7 Pro x64, and since I need Jet4.0 DB Engine or some such I had to set the compiler to target x86 CPUs. I have my suspicions, and as queried in my topic, I was wondering if VB Designer code can become corrupt or cause funky errors?
The layout I have is something like this:
frmMain
-frmCustomer
--frmAddCustomer
--frmUpdateCustomer
-frmContract
--frmAddContract
--frmUpdateContract
Each steps forward using the ShowDialog method. Initially I thought it was a fluke, but I had frmAddCustomer open and when I closed it (the code simply does me.close, nothing fancy), it jumped all the way back to frmMain, skipping frmCustomer. At first I was baffled, I spent some 45 minutes trying to figure out why. No errors or exceptions, so it didn't seem to be anything wrong really. Since I was building this project in stages I loaded the same form from a previous stage and copied/pasted the new code in. This seemed to fix it, but it happened again after coding for another 30 minutes to an hour. It also isn't limited to that form, I have now experienced the same issue with frmAddContract & frmUpdateContract.

I am writing a VB.Net WPF application that needs to display HTML content and websites. I am doing this using the webBrowser control. The application takes a significant performance hit running under x86 and I would really like to keep it set to Any-CPU. However the webBrowser controls need to be 32bit so they can run flash. So is there any way of achieving this? Running the 32-bit webBrowser in a 64bit process, or some alternative control that will manage this and allow me to load HTML from a string and a URL?
