View 2 RepliesI am looking into programming an application that detects noise levels. If the level is over a specific threshold it will lock a logged on user account. The idea behind this application is to reduce noise levels in a busy IT suite. My question is has anyone written anything similar and did it prove to be effective and is VB the best programming language for the job?
View 1 RepliesMy app is running in the tray and I want it to give a reminder to the user its there when they resume from a hibernation, sleep, or from being locked. I know how to handle the popup, but I cant find out anywhere how to detect that 'wake' status from those power saving modes.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to track down a problem on our test environment. Previously it was set to use InProc Session State Type, but I've added in the SQLServer type for one specific Web App. I did this because we use the SQLServer type in our production environment and I want our test env to match as closely as possible.
However, after changing it to SQLServer I do not get any errors when trying to store unserializable data in session like I would expect. It works just fine, even though I would think it shouldn't. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to configuring this, but from the various tutorials I googled, I thought I covered all the bases.I was wondering if there's any code snippets to verify which session state type an application is actively using.
I was investigating on Google wether there was any sort of code that would return the current state of a laptop's 'lid'. I need to be able to find the state of the lid and be able to execute code before the defined event in Windows Power Management is executed.I have come across ExCreateCallback and stuff on MSDN however I wouldn't have the faintest on how to implement it into VB.
View 4 Repliesborder of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.

I have a form and its filled from a VIEW of two tables on SQL server. When its opened i dont want other users opening that customers details from either table.I know SQL itself prevents writes if its opened but i want to stop people opening the record in the first place.[code]...
I then tried writing these values to the db on the form loading but it doesent work - it just sends back NULLs. I tried the same code in the on load event into a button and it works fine there. So im thinking i should do this as a Trigger on SQL itself, but im unsure how i could get the users computername or Windows Login name, or even username from the front end im building.
I am using XML files to store some iformation that are to be processed. I use this code to interact with the XML file:
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocumentxmlDoc.Load("theXMLFile")
Do XML stuff such as add elements...
xmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(oAlarm)xmlDoc.Save("theXMLFile")
What I want to do is to lock the file so that no other process can use the file. If a process wants to use the file, I also want it to wait and try again until file is available.

View 2 RepliesThis is a part of my project, my project basically uses a motion sensor to detect any intrusion. So one of the modules is to lock the PC on detection of an intruder. Is there a way to lock the PC using Visual Basic?(Because most of the other modules have been programmed in Visual Basic.) I am basically looking for source code that can implement something similar to "Windows button + L".

View 1 Replies1. I have to select the next invoice number from one table.
2. Then i have to insert this invoice number as it is in three other tables.
3. Then once i have done so i have to go and update the invoice number by +1 (increment by
1). And i have to do this for each row in the datatable.
During this whole period i do not want anyone to access (read or change) that invoice number. We can lock the table or row. Does not matter. How can i do it? I am not suppose to use store procedure. Lock table ... does not work. It is not an T-SQL stmet select invoice number with (readlock) ....... only works while this stement is runned. I want to have the table or row locked until i have done 1,2 and 3rd steps. I have seaching for a stamt in sql which will do this for me! But didnt find anything. All results point me to SP which i cannot use.
