View 2 RepliesIn vb, if wanted an easy way to convert from one of my classes to another custom class, i can define the CType operator to define how to convert from one class to the other. I can then call CType( fromObject, toNewType) to do the conversion or in c# i guess you can just do a simple cast.
However, in c# how do you define how the actual cast will be handled from one custom class to another to another custom class (like you can in vb using the CType operator).
any easy way to ref c sharp programs from visual basic? Can it be referenced from within the .net program?

Hello,
I'm writing a windows service and initially tried just using a regular System.Windows.Forms.Timer, but never saw it's tick event get fired in my debugger. From doing some research, it appeared that I needed to use the S ystem.Timers.Timer control instead. In order to make debugging easy, I set my timer interval to a really short value 1000 ms. I'm seeing some rather strange behavior, though. It appears that my timer control is creating multiple threads within my application, or is this just a bug in my debugger? I have an event handler for the Elapsed event like so:

My problem is that I am creating system tools for windows with a good gui and I don't know how to start with it.

View 4 RepliesI'm hoping that you all could shed some light on this.As the title implies, I'm trying to make my application automatically start when Windows PE is loaded. To do this, I looked at some Microsoft documents.I first found out how to add an application to it: url...And then I found out how to autostart an application, like a different shell: url...In order to auto launch one or many applications, you have to make an .ini file and put it in the System32 folder. The .ini file is called, winpeshl.ini. The information in it is [code]When that didn't work, I put quotes around items and it still didn't work.I was thinking that it wouldn't load because my program isn't a shell application.

I have a multi-project .NET 3.5 solution. It's ASP.NET based with c# code-behind in all projects except one.I'm attempting to access members from a C# project called "Core" from a VB.NET project. I set a dependency to the Core solution in my solution properties. However, Core. brings up nothing. Furthermore, my other C# projects that have Core-Project as a dependency (in the solution settings), are able to declare Core objects. Example: Private Core.ObjectName InstanceName; Also, Intellisense brings up plenty of info in the C# projects.how I can hook into these members from my VB project?

This is a neat feature in W7, however, for my form it does not make sense (a data input form).

View 5 RepliesI have a windows desktop application that I'm converting part of it to a windows service application. The win service pulls data out of one database and passes it to a central location via web services. I've got the windows service working, however I'm unsure how to add auto update abilities to it.
The windows service itself is basically an empty shell that fires off the data pulling, which resides in a dll that installs with the service. My original idea was to have the windows service do a version check and if needed download the new dll and overwrite the old one. The problem is the copy can't happen if the service is running (or paused). Herein lies the problem. If I have the service stop itself then of course it's stopped so no more code execution. The other problem would be how to restart it.
I'm trying to create something that is hands/worry free for my clients that way when I change/update the data pulling win service application they don't have to mess with it. I'm up to 300 clients now and I really need a solution that doesn't involve any user interaction.
EDIT: After more digging it's looking like this is a near impossible task. Another option would be to have a second service, one that just looks for updates and that second service can stop the first, update it, then restart it.

I'm not even sure what this is called? Image mapping? Tone mapping maybe? Is it possible to do this within .NET or would it require some kind of outside library? Code samples would be nice, but obviously this is pretty vague request.

This file needs to be deployed to users via a setup program that will put the file in a fixed path I specify.

View 5 RepliesI've see this application which can dig out our User Name from somewhere and asks our password. To be on the safe side, I typed my wrong password and it could cross-check that it was a wrong password and it asked me to type the right password. My question is:
How do you dig out logged in user's User Name?
How do you verify if a password given matches with the one really used to log into windows?
How do we auto-login by providing these verified details you say at a specific time by regularly checking the time using a timer?
I am trying to create a accept User Name in textbox and as additional feature i want to show suggestion to user automatically. For example if user press "J" he names starting with "J" (present in name table ) should be displayed as drop-down.
Can i do it with TEXTBOX or is there any other simple way?
