Windows.Forms Based Apps Vs WPF Based Apps?
Jun 21, 2010
what WPF based apps are?Is it an application that runs under Silverlight? If so, how?I know; Windows Forms based apps,console apps,DLL _ Class Library Projectsand I've had an introduction to ASP.Net.What I mostly want to know is, if WPF apps are for Silverlight then do they also run in a server based fashion like anASP.NET website would when you create ASP.Net webpages?Is it a way of creating what looks like a FORMS BASED application but it runs in a browser instead or what?Please enlighten me a bit further as I have no idea what WPF is all about.

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.

If my understanding is correct, Win 2000 only supports .NET 2.0 Framework. I am using VB2008 Express to write an app that I would like to install but I believe VB2008 Express utilizes the .NET 3.5 Framework.
Is there a way to compile my app so that it only requires the .NET 2.0 Framework? Or, more directly, is there a way to install apps written with VB2008 Express onto PC's running Windows 2000?

Just finishing off an update to an application written in VB.NET that used to run fine under CE.NET 4.2. Deployment platform is now Windows Mobile 6.1. The application runs in full screen, however whenever a new form is opened, the task bar, i.e. the bar with the start button comes to the fore and then the new form takes over. This is particularly annoying as I have a form that has many sub forms which are 128,128 and still the task bar flashes and obscures part of the user input screen

I have a solution with two applications in it. One is a windows form application that I want to use to set and manage a windows SERVICE application app settings.
For example. The form has the database connection string on it, when updated. The windows service application settings are updated.. I can get it to work for the windows application, but I need to jump boundries to the other application( Windows Service) and update the app settings there.

I need to be able to send keycode keys.apps (windows context menu key) to an application. Surely if I can detect the keypress, there's a way to send the keypress, right?
What I'm doing is having a 3rd party app save a screenshot and the only way to have it do so is through its right click context menu.

In a vb 2010 project, I have 2 win forms: Form1 and Form2.
In the Form1 class there is a server-based timer: when the "elapsed event" fires, then I update the text of a Label1 on the Form2. A very simple code:

I am trying to create a small windows forms application that demonstrates how a user can use pen-based input(ona Lenovo X220 tablet PC) to enter text (rather than typing on a keyboard) I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010.I think the control I want to add to my Visual Basic Project is the Microsoft InkEdit ControlThe instructions I see on other parts of microsoft websites refer to a .net framework componed called InkEdit. The instructions I found so far is to right-mouse click on the tool box, click 'choose items' and then select the Inkedit Control from the .NET Framework components.

I am using an Application server for calling Oracle Reports and I have a URL to call the report. When the report is called the server converts it into PDF but when report contains large data it takes a lot of time to load. I want to do in asp.net that when I call the report url it opens the PDF file and copies it into the root of my web folder. The next time when I call the URL it opens the PDF file and creates a new PDF on backend for next call. I have made this function to download file

Basically, i am trying to determin if an application made for 1.x will run on a computer with just one copy of the .NET framework installed which is a higher version than what i am targetting, ie: it only has one copy of .NET 2.0, or 3.0, or 3.5 or 4.0 - has one copy of either of these and thats it, the hypothetical computer would not have 1.0 or 1.1 installed.

Usually when you right click on an application, and then click on properties, you can find the applications exe name. Such as, explorer.exe, mspaint.exe, and much much more. But I can't find the exe name of any of my apps.

If I control both applications, what is the best way to communicate between 2 exe's written in VB.Net. For example, I want to drop an XML file from one app, and pick it up with the other, but I do not want poll for the file. I've heard of named pipes, but I found it was complicated. What's the most effecient way to do this?

I'm developing a media player app and upon looking at it for a week now, it seems really bland. I would really like to add some animations for it (besides just moving forms with x,y locations) but have no idea where to start.
Are more complex apps/designs/animations better suited for a language like c#/c++? I've never done animations before (except simple form moving) and I think now would be a great time to get some opinions!
You could probably say this would linger more so on 3d images and 3d animations

I've heard a lot about Mono but I have no idea what exactly it is or how to use it. All I know is it's aimed at making .NET apps cross platform. Could someone tell me or point me to some tutorials explaining how to port my vb code to run on other operating systems? Maybe shed some light on all of this?

I have a .NET application that was written in C# and VB.NET using WinForms. We want to slowly migrate this to something new, in many iterations. The new code will be entirely C# and WPF. We would like to utilize Prism.
As far as I know, we can't integrate the old WinForm app in Prism.
I am considering making my old app show the new app in certain instances. For example, when you press a tab in the old app, the new app opens on top of the old app, with the same tabs. Over time, only the new app would be necessary.

Im trying to detect when numbers change in a 3rd party app and then capture them for crunching. I do recall something back in the days of vb5 that would list control info when the mouse hovered over it. Cant seem to find anything like it these days. Ive got window handles ok, just cant read the control data.

I have learned to create programs in VB.NET with Visual Studio, but the downside of that is that i need the .NET framework, which is not on every computer. Can I create a program in VB.NET without it needing the .NET framework? If yes, what tools do i need?

I am writing a usability testing application, it starts the screen recording, gives the user tasks, and then when finished brings up a survey and stops the screen recording. My problem lies in the last part of this process, because the screen recording app brings up a msgbox when recording is over saying where the file is put and then when that is closed it brings up the screen recording application. I am trying to block the user from seeing this so am currently using the following method.
Private Sub WatcherHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
Dim Camtasia As Integer
[code].....
Basically when the msgbox from the screen recorder comes up it means a file has been created...so the folder is watched and when the file is created the msgbox is checked for, when it exists a short timer is enabled and then knowing the window exists it is hidden using showwindow findwindow approach. Although this approach does work, Camtasia needs to be closed and re-opened after in order to record again and for some reason it does not always work.
