I am currently writing a program in Visual Basic 2008 express edition to read and write to tags on an Omron PLC. I am using the DeviceXPlorer OPC Server V4.1.1.1 program to connect to the Omron PLC. I have made two programs, one is a form program which works fine, two is a windows service program where it does not let me connect to the OPC Server. The connection code is identical, the only difference is the windows service code is called by a timer. The timer works fines and jumps into the connection code, but stops at the line
I have a small VB.NET application built using VS 2008 and .NET 3.5.Very simply, there is a timer that kicks off every few seconds to download an XML stream from the web. I look at this stream and manipulate it.The problem I am facing is that the remote web server may not respond in a timely fashion to the following line of

How can I implement asynchronous calls so that the my application can behave without locking up?
I'm playing with a simple string replacement editor for editing VB.Net functions outside of VB. Is there a way to apply VB.Net code formatting to a string?
For example. The txtboxCodeEntry looks like this:
If strVar="dummy" then 1 else 0 Endif
I would like it to "autoformat" to:
If strVar = "dummy" Then 1 Else 0 End If
The formatting would match whatever formatting VB.Net does when you're editing code in the Visual Studio IDE.
I was using VB 2008 to code using applications. An example of something I coded was hangman. I was wondering if its possible to somehow use the application code and apply it to a form.So for example with the code below how would one go about putting into a form? If this isn't possible, what are the main difference between form/application coding? How would I go about coding hangman for example on a form, what are the main difference between the two??
Between testing sessions on my windows service, I'm changing code (little tweaks here and there). For more detailed debugging, I've had the application send messages to a text file everytime it does something (executes a new procedure, catches an exception, etc).
I've been doing this for a while, but ever since yesterday, it appeared that the new code wasn't being used. To test this, I changed the name and location of the log file that the service would use, and re-installed it shortly after a new successful build. As it turns out, the service is writing only 1 message (about a timer being started - which is only supposed to happen after it's logged the start of the service) to the old text file. It looks to me like my service isn't using the new code in my Service1.vb file, Like the old code has been cached or something, and the service is installing from that.
I am programming in VB 2010 and have a question. I have some code that currently only applies to one text box. As you will see, I have sub setup to handle multiple textbox events. My question being, Is there a way to take this code and apply it to all textboxes that are being handled?
VBCode:
Private Sub TextBoxes_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles fnameTxBx.TextChanged, _ lnameTxBx.TextChanged, streetTxBx.TextChanged, cityTxBx.TextChanged Dim theText As String = fnameTxBx.Text

I have to call PS commands from a VB.NET program. This works fine if I'm calling standard PS commands, but if I have to call a command that lives in a 3rd party module I can't seem to make it work. At the PS console I can type Import-Module MyModule and then I can call the commands in that module. I tried the following but it doesn't work, I still can't access my command from within the module:
Dim PowerShell As Management.Automation.PowerShell = PowerShell.Create() Dim PowerShellCommand As New PSCommand() Dim PowerShellCommandResults As Object
I've created an MDI application, on which I launch a macro using a tool bar button. The Sub is located in a module and I don't manage to udpate ToolStripStatusLabel from that sub.My MDI form is called "MDIParentMain"and I use the following code to make changes on oolStripStatusLabel (called "statuslabelMDIProgressbar"):
My boss has asked me to set up DotNetNuke's Survey Module and make a few custom changes to it for a client. But I'm having trouble just getting the bare-bones code to run properly!Downloaded both the source & install folders from [URL] Created a new VB Web Application Project Took out all the default pages Copied the Survey source code into the VB Web Application Project in exactly the same structure Made a batch script that creates an installation folder identical to DNN's install folder (double-checked by running a folder-diff on it, and all files/folders were identical) Zipped up my installation folder using 7-zip The source code compiles perfectly. But even though the files/folders are identical, DNN's zipped package will work properly on my DNN site, and my own zipped package will fail with this famous error message:
Error: Survey is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Survey.survey'. --->
Reasonably experienced programmer but newbie question on VB Express 2010: I have coded my 1st attempt at my project. I now want to save the work I have done and branch the code but be able to go back to what I did before if I screw up. What is the best practice? Do I get any help from Visual Studio. I could save a copy of the code in another directory or different file name
I have a Excel - VBA problem that I can't seeem to get around. I have written some code to search through excel sheets and return the values it finds. The code is written in a module, and when I run it by clicking the play button at the top of the VB editor it works perfectly.
However I have noticed that I need to link it to a button (on_Click) in sheet1, I have tried copying the code into the button sub, it throws up an error: "Method 'Range' of Object '_Worksheet' Failed" When it gets to the 'UpCount' line. This piece of code steps across a worksheet and when a "y" is found it copies the values form a cell at the top of the worksheet (which uses the upcount formula as the cell to be copied changes), and then it also copies some values to the right of the cell containing the "y" value.This code all worked fine when it was ran from the module2 window using the play button a tthe top of the VB editor page, it is just now it is attached to the commandbutton I am experiancing problems!
Sorry I use ActiveCell as I don't really know how to use anything else! And being new at the coding game it helps me to 'see' what is going on..
Have a label on a form which I want to show run time status, and have a code module which stores some functions. How do I send text from code module functions to this label on form?
There has to be a setting for this somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. When I "Start Debugging (F5)", if there is an issue with my code, I get a "Build Failed" notification, in the lower left of my screen. I would like to be directed to the location of the failure. So far I have been lucky and have been able to find the offending code but this is getting scary .
I am trying to call a public subroutine from a Windows form based on a string variable containing the name of the subroutine. The subroutine is a procedure in a code module and works fine when called by using the procedure name directly. The VB.net function CallByName should work, but I don't know how to specify the module name as the "Object Ref" parameter.
In the code shown, "ReportLibrary" is a module containing the public sub with the name contained in the string strReportProcedure.

What am I missing or is it just not possible to call a routine from a module using CallByName?
I code GUIs in .NET frequently, and most of them only have the value of being a GUI, e.g. they don't do anything otherwise impossible. So most of the development goes to making them friendly, intuitive and eye-candy.Then it comes to my mind it would be simply amazing to skin them through .msstyles files, since there are so many places to find those files, and also tools to make your own.And some of those msstyles are just stunning, probably not for your whole desktop, but for styling homemade apps it would be perfect.
i have one quetion maybe some of you know codejock skinframework witch allows you to apply a skin to your vb6 application and i thought about asking is there a way applying a xp/vista theme to an vb .net application i dont want to use xp style if you think like that i mean downloading a skin and applying it only to my application? is that possible in vb .net
I have a 2d array and I want to do a calculation on each element in the array and then return the index which results in the smallest value.
I have tried iterating through each element in the 2d array and running the calculation. If the calculated result is smaller than the currently stored minimum I set that to the minimum.
This works but it runs so slowly it makes the solution a non starter. It performs each calculation quickly but because of the number of elements in the array the calculation for the whole array is stupidly long.
Is there a way to apply any changes made to an entire application and not just the open (active) form that you are in? I.E. I change the backcolor to a color from a color dialog. I want that chosen color to be applied to all the forms' backcolor in my project. Can this also then be applied to all the other controls' backcolor? The code that I posted works but all forms and controls have to have the changes applied to each one separately.
