I want to store my log files in the user's Application Data folder (to avoid all the hassle with Windows 7/Vista UAC permissions). By default, though, the app creates the folder structure like thisAppData/CompanyName/AssemblyName/AssemblyVersion/I just want a single folder without the AssemblyName and AssemblyVersion. Other than removing that info from the project, is there any other to just create a single
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a structure wherin I have got 1 mother thread and 2 child threads. The child threads get variables to work with from their mother thread and after completion they report back to the mother with the resulting variables. I'd like to be as efficient as possible so creating a new thread every time a thread has finished it's work is kind of a no-go. How can I create this structure without creating a new thread for every iteration?

I have a array based on a structure that I want to build a datatable from. Here is what my structure looks like currently,
Public Structure QRQFiles
Public Complex As String
Public DescriptiveName As String[code]....
Since I have a structure with in the structure will I have to define two datatables to represent this?
Is there any performance hit (or other problem) to creating a lot of class and structure types for a project? I'm not talking about the number of objects existing in-memory during runtime; rather just defining a lot of object types during design time. I find myself making a lot of small classes and structures that are little more than simply packaging a few related variables together.
View 4 RepliesI have to create an array of structure type in VB.net. but I am getting error while marshaling this error. I have to pass this array of structure type in to Dll function.

Public Structure dx_entry
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst:=10)> _
Public dx As String

I need to add some document management functionality into my software. Documents will be grouped by company name and project name. The folders need to be accessed by the application using the id numbers of clients/projects, but also easily browsed by the end user using windows explorer. Clients and Projects will be stored in a database. I am thinking of having the software create the folders using the friendly name and then using a hidden share with the id number for the software to access the files. [Code]
By using the hidden share, if the company name changes or its renamed for some reason it doesn't break the link in the application because its using the hidden shared based on the ID that never changes. Will having hundreds (maybe thousands) or hidden shares on a server provide a huge performance hit? Does any one have any suggestions or alternatives to provide this feature?
how to write the code for my project.I am to base my new project on an existing one(existing one has code that works 100%)and create an Array of a structure that bascially holds the information from a summary form AND the totals from an AddToOrder_Click event. If you are still with me)... I cant figure out what the code is for my structure and Array so that I STILL have a Summary Form but I have an array that shows when I click my PrintPreview. So an Array is basically a "space" that holds information, like my summary form except it doesnt show until I click PrintPreview right?
If I just wanted to show the table then my code belongs in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage to show the array but the actual structure code belongs in the Click_Event of my AddToOrder? Please Please understand I AM NOT asking for anyone to write my code, basically I am asking for some clarification on what exactly creating an array from a structure is and therefore determing where the structure is to be placed in my code..
I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
I'm working with a class that inherits the XElement class.The new class is called MXElement.It adds some new functionality to it for navigating through the XML tree, as well as some more information regarding attributes, but that's not particularly important.My problem is that I have an XML Tree filled with XElement objects.However, when I create a new MXElement object from the XElement object before, it is just a copy of that object. This means that any changes that I make to this object will not effect the original tree.I suppose what I'm asking for is a way to build in the functionality for my MXElement class and keep references to the original XElement objects.If possible, I would really prefer to keep MXElement a child class instead of building a lot of extension methods for XElement.

I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.

Im triing to use structures.example
Public Structure Column
Dim ID As Integer
Dim Name String
Dim Birth As Date
End Structure
1) Is possible know how many element are in the structure?
2) is possible retrive the type of the data inside a structure? (Integer, String, Date)
3) is possible scan the element without use their name (by using an index as in the string) instead of use Column.ID=1 ? If the none of the questions are positive, what other stuff should i use that allow me to do that?

View 3 RepliesI am coding in vb.net. I want to achieve something like this (sample) -
Structure Transport

[CODE]...
But though i can create enum but how can I embedd it in structure. It is not allowing me to do that.
I am using Visual Basic .NET 2008. I have a module in my project and couple of windows forms. Now in my module I wrote -
Structure Transport
Dim Veh as Vehicle ' pointing to enum below
Dim GoAhead as boolean
End Structure
[code]....
What I want is that another form should be able to call my sub Select (declared as public) and pass enum data declared in Transport structure. VB allows me to do that if my sub is private but not if my sub is public. To overcome this issue one solution is to declare the enum in the form class itself. But for this I will have to do it in each form.

View 2 RepliesI have a question: How can I make a function or sub run inside a structure when a variable in this structure changes? As example I have this function:
Public Structure Texture
Sub New(ByVal TexturePath As String)
Me.Path = TexturePath
Me.Image = LoadImage(TexturePath)
End Sub
Public Path As String
Public Image As Image
End Structure
And somewhere this happens:
Dim t As New Texture("path ooldfilename.tga")
t.Path = "path o
ewfilename.tga"
I want it to automatically load the image when the "Path" variable changes. Is the only solution making an extra sub and run that? It would really decrease my code size if it changes on variable change.
I desperately seek for a code sample to serialize an array of structure elements to a XML. To serialize a simple object of a structure I used:
Private Sub saveEntries()
Dim FS As New FileStream(path, FileMode.Create)
Dim XS As New XmlSerializer(GetType(personEntry))
XS.Serialize(FS, entries(0)) 'serialize first entry of an array - success
FS.Close()
End Sub
Structure looks like this:
<Serializable()> Public Structure personEntry
Dim name As String
Dim d, m, y As Integer
End Structure
Private path As String = "data_file.xml"
Public entries(2) As personEntry
But how to apply this to an array?
Structure EmployeeData
Dim EmployeeName As String
Dim JobTitle As String
Dim TaxRate As Single
End Structure
[Code] .....
Okay, I have a structure that contains numerous elements... mostly strings, one or two integers. I maintain an internal array of that structure. The structure contains ONLY data elements, no code.I want to save the data to a file. I know that I CAN use StreamWriter.Writeline()to put out a formatted string for each element in the array. But is there any way to simply open a binary output file and save each structure, one after the other? And conversely, to load the array again in similar fashion? Something similar to this in intent, though I realize the code below doesn't work.
[code]...
To repeat, I want to write an entire structure to a datafile quickly and easily, without having to save each member of each element in the array. And conversely, to read the data back in the same way for easy loading of the array.
