I am presently using VB2010 to develop charting application. I have noticed that whent he applications are developed on my hp dv7-2270us notebook and stored on an external harddrive, if these same applications are then opened on my dell latitude d610, i will recieve a corrupted external harddrive error. Usually this can be repaired with check disk.
View 1 RepliesThe drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
View 1 RepliesI have a DLL that I made in FORTRAN to do some number crunching. It works in VB6 and in VBA within Excel. But I cannot get it to work in VB2008 or VB2010. If I try to access it the subroutines in the DLL I get either, 1) Structure of DLL invalid error or 2) Cannot find the DLL error.
Here is my VB2010 code for a smaller demo app that came with the FORTRAN development system. Again, this works with VB6 and VBA but not with VB.net

I am doing a little project to get better at my Vb while I am outside of class and I am making a launcher that lanuches my games from my external harddrive. Now I want it to auto find what the Harddrive is mounted to Like in my Code below this is what I have so far:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Generals\generals.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Counter-Strike Source\Launcher.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked = True Then

But Instead of having to go into ym actual Code and Changing it from U: to what ever my drive has mounted to on another computer and have it automaticly find what its mounted to and update my code accordingly.
I'm interested in password protecting my external hard-drive. i know there is already programs that can do this but i want to make my own.
make a program that would at start-up pop up and make the user put the password if not then the partition will be set to hidden. also would be a good idea to set the partition hidden until user puts password.
The VB.Net program in question creates several files, adds them into a zip file (using DotNetZip), and saves the zip file into a given directory (which the user chooses). This comes out just fine. But when I use it to save directly to my USB flash drive, I can't eject the drive without shutting down the program first.I've tried disposing the zip object (from the DotNetZip library), doesn't work. I also tried setting FileIO.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory to somewhere else on the machine, still no.
View 1 RepliesI got a CRC checksum now and I get a Message in this Format SOH, Length Of Incoming Message, Message, CRC Checksum So I have a nice little look to processes the message and everything, Now I have questions on two events, While this loop is running it awaits for Data on the wire to come through and Checks for the SOH, I always get that but what are the chances of NOT getting a SOH, and if I don't what should I do with the Buffer Dump everything Till I come to another SOH? And on another scenario If two Packets are clashed together in one buffer should I always try to Peek and see if the Next byte after the CRC is a SOH to see if there is more Bytes and an whole another command to start Parsing and then take action?

This is a problem with MS Access, but I can't seem to find an MS Access Forum, so I'm asking it here.I have a large table of just one field. The field type is Byte. I use CTRL C and CTRL V to make a copy of the table.I then compare the Source and Destination tables and lo and behold they are different at about record number 8 million.I also tried an Append Query to append to an empty table (I haven't tried a Make Table query).But, similar corruption.The source and destination tables do not end up the same. The Record where the failure occurs varies, but it is always greater than 8 million.I tried this on MS Access 2002 and 2010 (both with an Access 2002 database).

View 14 RepliesI would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:
1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.
2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.
I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.
1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?
2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it?

I have used a data repeater and linked it with the data source. The program lists all the names of clients from the database with an ID number and also a URL.My first question is how can i make the url that is displayed as a link label, link to the default browser when clicked. I normally use the Shell("c:/program files/internet explorer/iexplore.exe "URL HERE") command but i'm not sure how to make this work with the data repeater?
My second question is to do with starting services, i need to take the ID number from the current data repeater record and then place it within a service name, for example if the service was callled Client_** the two ** represent the client ID. This then needs to start the service when button is clicked on the current record on the data repeater.
My third and final question is how to query a field in a current record of a data repeater, for example if i wanted to query a field called ID for that current record shown, is there a function i need to use to call the information?
I have a combobox that I am populating with the contents of a dataset (from an access database). The field that it is showing has lots of values that repeat. I want to remove the repeats of the data so that only unique records are shown in the combo box. I imagine this can be done with the SQL for the data adaptor? I tried: "SELECT type FROM products GROUP BY type" and "SELECT DISTINCT type FROM products" but both still showed the repeating records.

View 3 RepliesLet me preface this by saying I'm VERY limited in my programming knowledge/experience using any language. I mean I have extremely basic capabilities and don't quite understand this stuff inside and out like most of you do.Anyway, I'm trying to code a fantasy football draft program in VB 2010 that utilizes the MS Internet Transfer Control 6.0. It will retrieve the HTML from a website, say ESPN, and parse the data into player names, rankings, and other stats. Should all be simple strings/sub-strings. It will then populate a DataGridView control so that each row in the DGV has the player's name, ranking, projections for the season, etc. After this has been populated, the program will be designed to allow me to draft players and assign them to the various teams automatically. I am the commissioner and we do an off-line draft, so I will just make picks for everyone and submit them online later.

I have the following code that needs to connect to my four spreadsheets for FileName(). I havent built the loop yet for the other three, but I am so used to working with a variable. Is this the best way (datatable) to get a single cell from a spreadsheet and if so how do I view the data once it is in the datatable? Ideally I would like myDataArray(3) to hold the 4 cell values. Please help. I am stuck. I want to be able to get the cell value $K2 form each sheet without invoking Excel. I think I am close, but dont know how to get the data from the table. These four cell values will be displayed and then emailed to our Country Director.
