Cannot Get The Same Functionality To Work In .net?
Feb 6, 2012
I have used sockets in VB6 before but cannot get the same functionality to work in VB.net. I have two machines running VB code and I want the applications to exchange information via a network connection. Using VB6 and socks it was easy but I just can't figure it out in VB.net.The data exchanged are string messages; there is no interaction between users it's just the applications exchanging info. The one machine will always be the server and is running a windows forms application which I'm writing in vb.net (it's actually a satellite antenna controller) the other machine is connected by an Ethernet connection (private network these are the only two devices) and is also running a windows forms application which I'm writing in VB.net (this is the remote controller for the satellite antenna controller) Can someone give me a pointer to some simple code that opens a connection and I can read and write between the two (both ways) using string messages. I' am assuming sockets are the right way to go? Everything I research keeps coming up with console applications

I'm a complete noob to VB.NET and have just made a tic-tac-to game and want to make it multiplayer over the the internet with direct conection via IP address (like CFS3 and the like).
The only thing is I have never used the this before and have searched loads on google and on this site, I just can't seem to find anything that I can understand so if anyone can help me out with where to start getting two machines talking, I have used the WINSOCK tool in VB6 before but didn't really understand it.

adding certain functionality to an existing ASP.NET application running on IIS 6.0 programmed in VB.NET.To aid in future development the client wants the additional functionality to be as future proof as possible. Ideally i have said that I would like to push for a solution using ASP.NET MVC3, running off IIs 7.5 and .NET 4, written in C#. This solution would act as a seemless addition to the current web-portal appearing probably just as an extra tabbed page.
But they will be completely seperate web-apps. Which is crucial.The main problems i can forsee are firstly sharing session particulars between the asp.net web app and the new application. Particularly with regard to maintaining session state (and not having IIS timing out on one of the apps). Also, conjoining the two "apps" appears problematic in my head, although this may be far simpler than i fear.
1) Embed the new fuctionality into the existing codebase (not a great option). This would mean losing any potential future upgrade-ability and also means not following better OO conventions by utilising the MVC framework.
2) Using an iFrame to link to the razor pages of a seperate MVC3 app (the one im favouring currently). Allows uses of all new technologies, however downside is sharing session data. Either through iFrame "attributes" through persisting a session state to a db? (slow?) or even some kind of web service interaction between the applications to push/pull user/session data?

I have a treeview which has lots of files listed in it that it has downloaded so far in it & I want to make it faster/easier to save files in my program rather than clicking save 100 times, is there a way I can make it so they can physically drag the item out of the app to a desktop/folder & have it save there? I am willing to do whatever coding it takes but just need a basis for how it maybe done.
Like I have a lot of files listed under multiple treeview items too though so can I also make it so when I drag a certain item it will make a new directory with all the files under it included? For this all I need is the basis of where they dragged to & what item they dragged then I can make the code to actually put everything where it's meant to be but I don't know if this is possible. I don't want to keep using the slower method of clicking save on each individual file or even the whole tree of items, while pretty quick I just want to do drag+drop instead. I will keep both methods in the program but have drag+drop in it I think could be really useful, I don't need to drag files into the treeview though, just drag items from treeview out to make it save the file(s).

I have several asp.net website projects for various sites.Currently I want to add REST API's to these projects so I can start developing mobile apps (using HTML5/JavaScript/CSS3 and PhoneGap) that make use of these webservices.
Since WCF is far more powerful than regular asp.net webservices (among others with control over the service and authentication/authorization), I'd love to add these to my existing website project.
I did a Google search but cant find anywhere a step-by-step tutorial how this can be done. And also if there's any functionality I'd possibly loose when adding WCF functionality.I was also thinking of creating a new project specifically for WCF, but think I'd rather add it to an existing website project.

I am looking at adding in some bluetooth functionality to my vb.net application. I require it to couple with a specified mobile phone (that is found by the app) than to be able to retrieve contact information, phone calls (made and recevied) and images from the phone.
Can anyone tell me what my best approach will be for this? If there are any good third party solutions that will do it? If it is actually doable? Im thinking that it should because im basically mimic'ing what all the new fancy cars do with their bluetooth phone compatibility.

I need to extend the functionality of the ToolTip control...Problem: I need to show some introductionary instructions to my users the first time they see a new form based feature in my app. Something along the lines of: '...Welcome to the blah, blah, blah feature. To do this, click that, mouse here, press that so on and so forth...'
Then I want a 'Don't show this again' check box somewhere near the bottom so the 'welcome screen' can be supressed. Currently I'm thinking of loading an app wide form (Public Dim frmMyToolTip as frmToolTip) and using it's .TopMost property to ensure that when I show it, it appears over my modal form (I can Hide/Show at will.) Also without a caption or border, my users can't move it.
As it will be displayed on top of a Modal form, I need a Background worker component to run a timer which will hide the form after a set period. I can store the state of the CheckBox to stop the form from showing next time if user does not require it.

I have a combo box having multiple items and I want by typing the item should select automatically and combo box style should be "DropdownList" type.Let�s say I am typing "I" then country like "India", "Indonesia�,� Italy" should sort automatically. It is happening by default in VB.NET for one character.But I want If I type "India" this should select "India" instead of "a...." because my last character is a. in VB.Net it is selecting country like starts with "a�. But I want the full typing option should be present for the combo box.

I was asked to develop a simple application to handle car inventory. Each car has a LOT of properties (about 130, like license plate number, type, was it serviced, etc.). Some of these properties are represented by bit data type in a database some are varchar.
The problem is that I need to provide search functionality for any of all these properties and any combination of them. This results in a search form with about 130 controls. I certainly do not want to put the SQL query together manually by checking the state of each and every control. To propagate the problem further I need to be able to search for partial strings as well (i.e. if the user enters "porsc" into the car brand field then all Porsches should be found).

I am now using vb.net 3 months, it appears to me that basically there are 2 objects in vb.net objects and lists of objects. The rest is inherited or extended modes of these two concepts. Why then use so completely different syntax and names for two objects which appears the same : listview and datagridview. Simple version of the datagridview without the editing functionality being the listview would be much more simpler.

I'm looking to reverse the functionality of a VScrollBar in VB.NET - I would like the number to increase when the up button is pressed and decrease when the down button is pressed.I'm surprised that this issue isn't more commonly represented online, but I could find nothing online about making a VScrollBar work the way I want it to in VB.NET. Apparently in VB 6.0, you were able to flip the Min and Max values and this achieved what I desire to do, but they removed that feature in VB.NET

I've written a piece of software which extracts information from the web and stores it all to a local SQL Server database which all works well. However, I now want to add additional functionality where any user can go in and create a template which would be run when every synch has complete which would save as an HTML file. I've set up whole thing. Information is stored in a backend XML file which is processed when the synch completes. However, I want this information to check delimeters in the string and process it as code.

[URL]. Attached is a MEF WPF and WinForms project that I have been playing around with. I was able to add two 'plug-in' buttons to the form but how do I provide functionality to the buttons? How can I add objects from a separate assembly, like most plug-ins do? Let's say I want to break out each menu (File, Edit, View, Tools) into their own assemblies, leaving the main application window as a blank form that will import each assembly on startup. Also, could functionality from the Edit menu assembly interact with the code from the File menu assembly? I have also not created custom user controls before so as you can see I am having trouble creating a plug-in menu structure.

I have been building a Web Application (ASP.NET, .NET Framework 4, VB, visual studio 2010). To be very brief the application interacts with a database and performs several actions (Insert Delete Select etc..).I am using several Gridviews, ListBoxes etc and I am not happy with the presentation outcome and the functionality provided by asp.net. In simple words my application looks bad, outdated and unprofessional.I figured that using Windows Forms that will be incorporated to the ASP ap.I have created a Windows Form Control Library to use the dll created in my app as a user control. I found out that this is not supported in .NET Framework 4 (is this true? or am i doing something wrong?). Is there any way to make my application have the 'look and feel' of a windows application? Please note that it is has to be a web app and the clients should not have to download any other application to interact with the server.

I am trying to code in .Net to select an area and the area will be where ever in the form, that is not restricted to a control and asusually the area appears like a square by dragging using mouse at runtime on the form and if on clicking on a button for ex "Save" i.e., saving the selected area and when the next time the page loads that particular area should be clickable.Right now i have no idea where to start but if some idea is given it will be more helpful to me to develop some code for this functionality. Does any one give a small idea that how can I do this functionality, so that I can proceed developing code?
