Edit So the solution I posted from Jenner at VBforums was, obviously, in VB, and I used an online converter to port it to C#. Something was lost in translations, and that's why it was 10 miles off. I'm guessing I am just misunderstanding what the algorithms at the Proj.Net discussion boards are for and that's why they weren't doing what I wanted them to.

I'm developing a custom control for numeric input that does some basic value range checking and have run into an issue when I set my property ValueMin equal to Long.MinValue. The IDE generates the following line in form1.designer.vb file that subsequently is flagged as generating an overflow.
Me.NumericInputBox1.ValueMin = CType(-9223372036854775808,Long)
I've done some checking using the Immediate Window with the following results.
?Long.MinValue
-9223372036854775808
?ctype(Long.MinValue, Long)
[Code].....
It appears that the CType function does not recognize the minimum Long value when the value is typed into the function, but works fine if it is passed Long.MinValue or a string with the value. It works fine for a typed in value equal to (Long.MinValue + 1). This problem only occurs with the Long (Int64) type.
Does anyone has the formula to convert X,Y,Z,Vx,Vy(cartesian 5D) as well as Azimuth, Elevation(Angular 2D) to Lat Long Alt?

I'm pulling records from a db table (sybase) where I have run into a problem with a long varchar field. Using the OLEdb class I convert the field into a string variable which works fine in most cases, but there are problem with a few records. Examining the field in the database it shows that the value is not null, but the length of the field is 0.(SELECT field, length(field) FROM table). When I try to convert this into a string the result is rubbish.strContent = objReader.Item(i). I can't figure out what's the problem here, so I have avoided the issue by doing a table update before I start the process of getting data (I set the field value to null if field.length = 0

cursorIcon = Cursor
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
Then setting it to false at the end of the operation. It did not work, so I thought maybe it was because I was calling it from a child window, so I created a function in the mainwindow, and ran it like this:
FrmMain.BlockFrmMainInput()With these functions is the Main window:

It did not solve the problem. I thought maybe it was because I was running under the debugger, so I tried compiling and running it debugger-free, but that did not do any better. I am still getting input when I double-click the mouse on either form.
my goal is to
1.Take an file(exe,dll,etc)
2.Convert it into hex
3.place that hex values in a stack

I have a VB.NET app in which I'd like to use the Stopwatch class. The stopwatch will get reset every time it enters a particular method, which may be in less than a second, or not for hours. Is there a limit to how long you can let a stopwatch run before something bad happens? i.e. an error, or performance degradation?

View 2 RepliesI am developing a web application in asp.net vb. My current situation is,I have a main site say [URL] and another site for generating reports depending on certain user ids say [URL].If I click a button on [URL] I have to switch on the generate report page on [URL] and return to[URL]. [URL] should generate report and set a flag in database of [URL].Currently I am redirecting to the page in xyz.com and add the long running task to queue as follows and redirect back to [URL].
If ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(New WaitCallback(AddressOf LongTimeTask), New Object) Then
Response.Redirect(returnURL)
End If
But the problem is its not dependable. Means some times the queue is executing correctly but some times not. There are no errors in long time task. Just the queue is not executing.

I develop in VB and often I'm writing long TSQL statements in SSMS but getting them into VB is a bit of a pain. I like SSMS during development because I can change the query / structure and test it when there are problems. Some of them become stored procedures and some of them I just keep in the code.I like keeping them in the code because when I have a problem with something, I can GREP my projects directory and find the code that does something (that I've forgotten) or someone asks something about how something works, I can look it up. I've yet to find a GREP for stored procedures. Is there such a thing?I've read in a "best practices" white paper how we're not supposed to concatenate super long strings with & _ but a hundred line proceure is a pain to nest in
sb.AppendLine(" WHERE [q3] IS NULL "
sb.AppendLine(" AND [q4] > 2

C# handles these things much better than VB. I'm wondering how I can keep my code together during development and searchable later. I had my hopes up when VS 2010 offered implicit line continuation, that this would help my multi line SQL procedures. Again, I was mistaken. Perhaps I could write it all on one line. I'd be interested in knowing if there's a feature that I am not aware of. Well there are certainly many features which I'm not aware of, but I was referring to "long strings".
I'm using Bouncy Castle (c#/vb.net version) and generating a 4096-byte RSA Keypair to use in my certificate with this routine:[code]The procedure works ok, however it takes a very long time, up to one minute (I'm on a 2.4ghz pentium DualCore).Since I don't have much experience (almost none really) with RSA and all these things, I just wanted to ask if it's normal that it takes so long to generate the key, or if I'm doing something wrong.
