View 8 RepliesI am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.
Now this program will only be used on systems that I produce, and send out. I need to make sure that for any monitor that these people use it will always be at the standard resolution of 1440 x 900..
I have tried setting up profiles with catalyst control panel, but if you plug in a different monitor to the one that was plugged in when you made the profile it wont recognise the screen and the system wont run properly.
So I wanna see if I can change the resolutions of the screen that will be plugged in the monitor slot and also if possible make sure the other extended screen should there resolution of 1024 x 768..how much control can you get over the monitors that are plugged in?
I have a toolstrip along the top of my program. There is a right aligned drop down button that displays a menu. I have a 2 monitor system, and for some reason, the menu wants to open up on the other screen - the screen the program isn't on. How can I keep this menu on the proper screen?
View 3 Repliesi have encountered a problem, i want to access the data coming to the computer from the in-built bluetooth module of a computer on windows platform, this data has been sent by a remote bluetooth module say a by an autonomous device (just like a bluetooth mouse connecting to the computer). The to be sent is in the form of numbers and i need these to manipulate on the computer.
View 6 RepliesIn my program I am trying to make a button that would add a shortcut to activate a running application by a process ID. In a form I have 2 text-boxes 1 for the name of the shortcut that would be shown in the tool-strip-menu-item. Then the other for the process name. Then when the user presses a button I would like the text of the text-box for the name to be added to a tool-strip-menu-item, then the other text-box used for the Process ID to be added to the fallowing code: (the tool-strip-menu-item is in another form)
Dim processID As Integer
processID = Shell("Process ID
", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
Here is my stuck in a rut kind deal.I am using Visual Basic Express Editoin 2008. (Most of these forums and samples and stuff is either C# VB 2005). I just want to simply know how I can "View or Monitor" the access.log file that is on my server?

Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..

Can I just not do this through the built in VB editor or can I simply load a library or something to make it work?
Sorry but I'm very new to VB and to Access so search results are not specific enough for me to understand - lord knows I've tried.
I'm using Access 2010 but the DB was created in an previous version - not sure if that matters.
How does one access a form's context menu, that is, the menu you get when you right-click on the top bar of a form (it usually contains Restore/Move/Minimize/Maximize/Close options)?
I'd like to be able to add and possibly remove a couple of options.
I have a program that needs to access the files that are open by another program on the computer.When my application comes up I can easily see if the other application is running with the .net Process.GetProcessesByName method
Dim MyProcesses() as Process = GetProcessesByName("AnApplication")
For Each Instance as Process in MyProcesses
If MsgBox("application is running - do you want to end it?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo or MsgBoxStyle.Question, "Warning") = MsgBoxResult.Yes then
[code].....
The problem is that the Instance.Kill does not allow the application to end gracefully. In VB6 you could use the SendMessage API to send a close message to the application and it would end gracefully - i.e. give the user the normal closing prompt. This just slays the application - leaving any open files in their potentially incomplete state, etc.
I'm trying to access server database from a remote computer in lan-based network using this connection string "Server=192.168.10.2; user id=user; password=pass; database=sample_db" .. but it can't open a connection.. I don't know what to do, I tried searching for this but no luck.
View 3 RepliesI made a program that i want to run on computers at school and it utalizes a MySQL database. When i try to run it the program does not work as it cannot access the database. I open the code up on my computer at school and it has errors saying ti does nto recognize the MySQL code as it does not have it in its .Net library. So i try to download it into the library but that does not work. So my question is, will programs using any kind of database not work unless the user installs the needed add on, weather it be a .Net library add on or a java add on for MySQL? That cant be right it.
View 4 RepliesI have created a setup using INNO which puts a Visual Basic 2010 Express program on the computer to update an Access database. It works on my Windows XP computer. On the user's computer, which is a Windows 7 computer, the Access database comes up as Read Only when opened. I get an "Operation must use an updateable query" error in the Visual Basic program when I try to create a record. The database has Read Only checked off in it's properties. But when you open it in Access 2010, it says Read Only at the top. (This computer has Access 2010. The database itself is in 2002-2003 format.) How can I get this database to be updateable on the user's computer? It works on my computer/does not say Read Only when opened in Access 2007.

r = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.Users, MachineName)
r.OpenSubKey(SIDValue & "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders")
AppData = r.GetValue("AppData")
The fact is that it retrieves my own appdata folder...Actually the SID Value of the account on the distant computer and on mine is the same (I am under a domain).

How can you access the Start Menu from a VB form for both Windows XP & 2000?
I've done a lot of research and haven't found anything that works for this.
Been casually working on getting my users out of the DB completely. We use a vb.net app I created as a front-end but there are many reports that were built in Access and I want to give my users a way to open Access and run the report via my WinForms app.
Have gotten as far as being able to open an instance of Access and do what I need to do. Where I left off was running into a problem with not being able to tell if an instance of the msaccess.exe process is running and use it instead of opening another.
In VB 2010 after working on a form in design mode which has a menustrip and the form is taller than the IDE [Design] window and not returning to the top of the window before running in debug mode, the menu is eliminated from the menubar on the running form when the controlbox is set to False for the form and I could not access the menu.After returning to design mode and scrolling to the top of the form and running debug, the menu returned.Is this a bug in the IDE or what?
