Create A New Battery From Scratch While Using The Old Code As A Reference Point?
May 13, 2012
I'm currently starting a new job in which I will be working on some coding in the future and need some advice on some good places to start so I can learn this correctly. Essentially we need to bring VB4 code over to the new VB.net language and I will be tasked with this. The project consists of a large battery of tests for psychiatric patients consisting of mostly multiple choice questions presented one at a time - since VB4 isn't very compatible, I think I will create a new battery from scratch while using the old code as a reference point.
I started creating the code this weekend for fun and am really enjoying it. However, a huge problem has been the abandonment of control arrays in the new language... by the time I got to creating my first questionnaire I'm stumped and can't follow the old code. Clearly I'm not ready to tackle such a large project with no experience and need to start from scratch; who would have thought .
The reason why I'm here is not to ask you to help me with my work. What I'm wondering is if any of you have any cool advice of great places to start learning the language (books, websites, etc). The amount of literature is very overwhelming so I thought I would ask some people with experience for tips. If any of you have stumbled across learning material with emphasis on coding that would be useful in the design of questionnaires or multiple choice exams, it would be particularly useful.
So far my starting place is Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step with Michael Halvorson, it seems good at a glance in the sense that it couples theory with practice but I'm already sure I'll need a little more.

I want to know how I could create a bitmap from scratch with no images to start with.(I would say need. but than you would think this was for some sort of school project and it's not.)Basically, what I have is an image which is perfectly square in shape and has a black border with a black x going through it, what is not black is white. What I'm looking to know is how to take that small image (50x50 pixels) and make an image based upon those by placing them in X Rows of X amount. I'll make a couple example to show what I mean.(X's represent the 50x50 image.

Trying to find a code to display ' BatteryLifePercent' by itself on the screen of a gps unit running Windows CE Core 5.0. I have absolutely no experience in programming. Just piecing together things I find and slowly learning to make a working program. So if this is possible, could someone post a code for it? Ideally I'd want just the percentage showing on the main page with ability to size font and position somewhere on the screen. [Code]

I hve been working with points a lot recently, and I have been wondering if there is a way to set a point without setting point.x and point.y separately. For example for (3, 5): Point1 = (3, 5) But that isn't right

How would I manually create a reparse point in a file and do all that stuff. I read up on how but it didn't make enough sence for me to comprehend on how would I visually show where to create the reparse point. I understood that it had to do with storing part of the file in memory for fast access and giving it a name to access it faster.[URL]..

I'm writing a tool that will have -at some point- to create a torrent. Now the tool is big and 'creating the torrent' is only a small part of it so I thought I can use a command-line utility that creates torrents but sadly it seems that there are no such tools available for windows ( found some for linux ). What are my options here? Should I just write a tool that creates torrents out of directories (I don't even know how a torrent file should be structured)? Or is there a way to control a GUI-Based application using my VB.NET program? ( Guess only C can do that, right? )

I have been left to maintain some vb.net applications - all of which utilize SQL server 2000 as the backend db. I need to change a report in one of the apps to include some newly added fields fromt eh database. I added the new fields to the specific table in the "testing" SQL server database which is on a completely different server. I am creating a new data source and have selected the database icon and then selected a connection string that clearly points to the test database on the test machine. I then selected the table containing the two new fields but for some strange reason, the two new fields I added are still not showing up in the list there! I have checked and double checked and it's as if it's still pointing to the live database on the live server where these fields do not even exist yet.

in order to create fancy custom end caps on the ends of a line, a structure like the following can be used:
Dim pts() As Point = {
New Point(-2, -2),
New Point(0, 0),
[Code]....
be used to create the same point array. I can see splitting these values into an integer array but how would these in turn be placed in a point array of whatever size is defined by the text values so they can be converted to end points of a line that is developed as values are changed in the text box.

I would like to covert a 4 digit hexadecimal code point to UTF8.
For example:
4e00 to δΈ€
Dim s1 As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(&H28E02)
I don't think they are built for my 4 digit code though.

I'm having a bit of a problem with a loop I made. So the setup is as following:We can create a routing somewhere in the world, from point A to B...and the program draws it on a worldmap.then I open a file with 300 zones in all over that country and he also draws these zones (it can go from polygons to circles. Some of these polygons are really small...when I click on a button I only want to see the zones which are connected to that routing...
So I use following script:
[code]...
this works fine, but not for the very small zones...I think when he uses GetRegionScans from those small intersections...the RectangleF is so small that he thinks it's empty.

I come back to the MSDN to ask another question now. That is:
How do you check if a battery exists in a computer?
I have the code here to figure out battery percentage.[URl]..But if a battery is not inserted it will show battery 100% and charging instead of it showing that a battery does not exist.

I want to build a simple chat app where people can go a url, type in a name and a message and click submit and it will basically show that message to everyone that is current connected.Firstly i would like to state i've had zero experience in sockets programming and the like. I'm simply a web 2.0 person building websites with css/html/js/ajax and backend i have asp.net on vb and sql server for database.So basically coming from an ajax background, i was wondering why do we even need to download any additional stuff to do web sockets? I mean in ajax i can simply create a asd.aspx file and use Response.Write(text) (text based on the input which are available through dissecting the url) and voila, the server side is done, all that's left is just to create new XMLHttpRequest and stuff in the client side.
So ok I'm not worried about the client side part of Web Sockets. but the server side part of web sockets is just difficult. so in the client side i have this: ws://localhost:8080/websocket. Is it true that it will work if is also an .aspx file as such: ws://localhost:8080/websocket.aspx ?I'm wondering so how do i continue from here? in Ajax i will supply parameters from client in the url as such: page.aspx?a=1&b=2 and do output in the server using Response.Write it's all clear but how do we do it in web sockets?

I'm trying to extract a piece of text from within the string, defining both a starting point and an ending point. For instance, say I want to search for the text found between "That is a " and " car" in the string "That is a red car", so it would return "red".I know you can use .SelectionStart and SelectionLength, but the length of the word can change, so the selection length can vary. What I want is to establish a specific starting point and a specific ending point from which to extract the text from the string.

We are migrating our applications to VB.Net 2008 from Classic VB and I need to create a base namespace and business layer. My method of approach is going to be to visit our top BA and identify the common areas of our (Fixed Income) company and try to form a decent inheritence model with as much of the code in generics as possible. What's everyone's experience of doing this and also as a second part of the question, we are looking at incorporating Web Focus into the OLAP side, how would this affect the design of the corporate namespace and it's derivatives?
