View 2 RepliesI've been developing an add-in for outlook for quite some time, and recently have been developing a method testing the connection to the database and server when launching - as well as setting up a ticker to test for the connections while it is running.The connection for the server works fine, but the database connection test does not. Originally I didn't set a timeout for the connection, and so it was very slow and the ticker would break down (as it would still be testing for a connection when the next ticker started) However Now I have set a timeout of 5 seconds, it ALWAYS says the database is connected. [code] I suspect that it opens and closes the connection 'successfully' (i.e. doesn't throw an error when it timesout of the 5 seconds?) But I can't imagine why that would be the case. Can anyone help so that if the TestCon timesout, it returns false?

View 1 RepliesI wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I have used My.Settings for quite some time now, in both VS2005 and now in 2008, but never noticed this behaviour yet... I must be forgetting something trivial? I create a StringCollection setting and manually enter some data (strings).I write some code to handle this, and I get it to work.
Then, I manually add some new strings (and edit the older ones) in the Settings page, save the project, and run my code again.For some reason, the last changes have not been saved... Whenever I look in the settings page, I see them there, but my code cannot recognize them..

I want them to be able to select a quote based on "quotenumber" or "customername".They then must be able to select a quote, which will open a new window with all quote information from the tables. This information needs to be editable and savable to the databaseGenerate a PDF of a "finished" quote and mail it as attachment to a customerthe "customer information" table contains information for the quote concering address and name of customer.

can give in a new customer in the quote screen and that that customer will be saved in the "customer information" table.point 4 is also applicable for the "material information table".
I'm trying to make a quiz application with Visual Basic at the moment. I want to write a routine that asks five questions to which the answer must be either Yes or No. It must add up the number of Nos and if the number of Ns is less than two then print out �pessimist�, otherwise print out �optimist�.I'm only at the very beginning stage of the program, I've created the design of it but I'm not too sure whether the code concept for the radio buttons is right. How can I expand on this?

View 1 RepliesI am writing a program (that i have recieved a lot of help with) that creates input files for another program. The bridge between the two programs is a program that has been named the task manager as like the windows task manager it shows what tasks are being done/have been done/are about to be done (or executed)
What i would like to know is how can i run the already installed bridge program from my program? Do i need to run it by opening the executable that contains it? Or by declaring the bridge program as a type/structure/class and going from there to open it?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

I'm trying to do a setup project with VS2008 for my VB .NET application. I would need to create a text file into the installation directory based on the answers the user who installs the program gives. Idea is that I need to have the installation path variable in a text file so that I can read it. And also some other directory specifications too.
I could do the following:
Write the wanted information to the window registry and after the installation is ready, create another application that is run at the end of the installation to create these files.
how to add the Uninstall option in the Start--> Programs, during setup and deployment of an application?
