I have a question about the property TotalVirtualMemory in the VB class ComputerInfo. I have checked this property from code on several different computers and the number is always 2047 MB. This is strange because I know for a fact that the virtual memory on these computers differ (~1GB, ~2GB and ~3.5GB). Does anyone know why it is like this and is there any other way to get the total and available virtual memory?

View 7 RepliesI have created a basic query generator which allows a user to select the Select, WHERE and criteria attributes using a number of checkboxes.However i have got stuck. In the results form i have the following code
Private Sub DisplayRecord()
RichTextBox1.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(0)
RichTextBox2.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(1)
RichTextBox3.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(2)
[code]....
The program keeps on crashing if the user does not select the corresponding amount of display records from above for the amount of attributes they want for the SELECT part of the query in the intreface in form 1.
How would i go about making something where the number of SELECT attributes selected which are listed in a string create the correct number of textbox fields in the results form (form2)

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get a handle on the correct way and easiest way to do things. By easiest I am not talking about being lazy just accessing and modifying later on. I have started using my own classes and such but I have a few questions. Sometimes I want to create a control on the fly through code instead of using the designer. Should I create this control in the main form file or in a separate class? If I make it in another class it seems harder to access later on. Then again if I dont know that the control is going to be created(user clicks a button to add a control) how can I access it? Also it seems alot harder to access certain things when it is in another class. For example if I create a new window in a class and then want to check if it is there or not it is alot harder to do.

View 7 RepliesMy VB code uses a timer with a slider, and uses AddSeconds. I am trying to use the slider with a min value of 0 and max value of 600, and set up ticks every 30 seconds between 0 and 600.At a beginner level coding VB,I am not sure how to set some of the correct values in the slider's property box.Min, Max and Value, I am guessing are 0, 600 and 0 (sets the slider thumb starting positionat the far left). But I am not sure what other values, like tick and small and large change, etc. need to be set and set to what value? I've read online, but so far cannot find how to configure this.

View 17 RepliesI use vb.net 2008 to create a desktop application.I have a form that is resized according to the size/location of the app bar (where the start button is)I have a toolbar at the top, a status bar at the bottom of the form and a grid in the middle of the form I want the size of the grid to be the maximum possible on my form.if and when the user resize his application bar (or move it from the bottom to one of the sides) my form size should change according to the new working area size:
H = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height
W = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width
is there a single event that I can use ? currently I called my resize function in several form events: Activated, ClientSizeChanged, Load,Paint,LocationChanged,RegionChanged.And still it is not working correctly! Resize the app bar size or move it form does not change !
If I minimize it and then display it again or click it - it changes size
for example
Dim CurrentSplitter As String = My.Settings.CurrentSplitter
lblCurrentSplitter.Text = "Current splitter: " & CurrentSplitter

View 9 RepliesI have a couple of strings (in Ms-Word) which I copy and paste into variables in visual studo. Ms-Word uses high ansi characters for double quotes ("x"). I need the same in my app too. There seems to be no easy way to do this.
1. Visual Studio converts them to simple double quotes ("x") if I let it format the line automatically (auto-indent/auto-format).
2. If I turn autoformatting off and put those characters, I can see the correct characters in the code in Visual Studio editor. But when program is run the behave same as the simple double quotes. They are treated as simple double quotes and converts to simple double quotes in the output.
The only way I could find out is to use Chr() etc. functions to concatenate the character codes at appropriate places. But that's tedious on large strings. I want something to escape these characters appropriately (just like we can put two double quotes to escape the simple double quote character). [code]
1. What is the correct way to escape these characters? I don't need string concatenation; I need it in one string (like x="abc").
2. Are there any other characters also which visual studio messes up?

View 2 Repliesi have been redirected from the vb.net technet forum to use asp.net forums instead.
I am using some COM components within an asp-page or vbscript. As an example the code flows like this in vbscript:
set objectA=CreateObject("SomeComponent.A")
objectA.PropertyA="Some String"
objectA.PropertyB=ValueA
set objectB=CreateObject("SomeComponent.B")
set ObjectC=ObjectB.MethodA ObjectA
This code works fine and i can continue with the data in ObjectC.
Now i want to change this into ASP.Net with VB. If i open the COM type libraries in Oleview32, the datatype expected in MethodA is VARIANT. So i tried to pass into a type of Object in MethodA. This leads to an exception and code stops.
Is there a way to determin or to trace what vbscript is passing into MethodA so that i can get an idea of how to prepare the datatype i have to pass into the method-call? Are there any tools for that? So ctypeing to an object does not do the trick. A better documentation about the COM Object is not available.
The first reply from the vb.net guys was´, if the COM libraries can be hosted on iis? So, they are used excessively within asp pages on iis 7.5, if they can be used in asp.net, i don not know. I am not a developer but i have good understanding in writing code and using asp.net.
I do an dns test before i send mail to ensure i dont get errors.But there is a problem, when i try to send an email to an adress xxxxx@eco-log.sei get an error from the dns function. when i try to delete the "-" in the mail adress it works.at first i tohught it was because of the "-", but i made an email at zzzzzz@eh-design.se and it works like a charm, what could be the problem then? It is 100% sure that "xxxxx@eco-log.se" is an existing email/dns.The error message im getting is "No such known source"(freely translated)
