I have recently built a personal project but I forgott to finish some menu items and the application is only half done, as you can imagine from a developers point of view this is quite disapointing.
I could have rectified this if I new how to build applications that could be updated whenever I make changes.
My question is this:- can anyone please give me a basic run down on how to make my applications able to accept updates when changes are made ALSO how do I build applications with a 30 day lisence FINALLY can I write my own serial numbers or does Visual Studio create them automatically.
I wrote this sub routine that is running, but it only returns the local Computer name and Serial number. Any one know the why to grab the Computer name and serial by IP address? I am using VB 2010.

View 4 RepliesSomething ive wondered about as long as ive had an interest in making apps is generating serial numbers for software projects.Im wondering how is this done by the pro's so that someone can put a key into an app and without being connected to the net it knows the key is valid by using an algorythm.Id like to make something like that for the sake of learning how. I realise more and more programs now "call home" at the point of entering a key or to "activate" as with MS office and windows etc, but id like to start at the old school way of doing it.Generating the alpha numeric keys and also checking them.

View 1 RepliesI have very limited knowledge of any programming and am desperately trying to learn. I am attempting to use Visual Basic to create a simple program to operate our church's projector from the computer. I am able to control the projector using hyperterminal and accessing the serial port. I am wondering how I would code a button to send the correct signal to the correct port? I have a simple setup w/ my church logo in background with three buttons. There is an On, Off and Freeze button. I am simply needing to know how to program the buttons to access the serial ports. I hope I am being clear.
View 2 RepliesIn my project I'm trying to send data to Serial port. I have added the serial port control to the form. Now if I try to send data to serial port using Serialport1.write method in a button click event, I'm able to send the data successfully to the serial port. Otherwise if I try to send the data using the same "Write" method from another thread other than the one in which the serial port component was created, I'm getting an exception saying serial port busy.

I have an Access table which has a Number field and a Text field.I can run a query like this:

View 2 RepliesI have an Access database file, which the application needs to connect only when it needs to run a query. The database has five fields. The first two fields contain numerical values (double). The rest are text values.
Well, I don't have trouble accessing the database file. In fact, I don't have trouble running a query on those three fields containing text values, either. But I have trouble making a query on numerical fields. If I run the following, the application will exhibit a data mismatch error.

I have a stand alone VB.Net 2005 application that uses a serial port that generally stays open while the application runs on a Windows XP system. In trying to bullet-proof the UI, I ran into a problem when the USB to Serial Converter normally used to provide the serial port is disconnected while the serial port is open. In trying to handle the resulting error when accessing the port, I find I cannot close the port.
When trying to do so, the error message says something like "unable to close the port. You may not have sufficient permissions." Reconnecting the USB/Serial Converter does not reactivate the port.

I have six textboxes, and upon button press it randomly generates six numbers, one in eact text box e.g. [43] [85] [93] [1] [0] [17]..i create another six textboxes and at the same time allocate these numbers in ascending/descending numbers.I am not looking for any codes whatsoever, as i love the challenge of VB.Net.

So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer
dim r as new random
num = r.next(1,5)
if num = 1 then
elseif num = 2 then
etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open.

Dim number as Integer
number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
