View 1 RepliesWhy Doesn't The DeleteDirectory Method Of The Computer.FileSystem Class Work On "special" Folders
Aug 14, 2008if they choose to use a networked version of my software, I will need the main server doing the authenticating. This is a problem, because from what I understand, it is quite easy to clone MAC addresses. I have looked into using the CPU ID and the HDD ID, but those are not unique, well at least I don't think so. Reason why I say they are not unique is because someone has the exact same CPU ID as me, and the HDD ID changes from partition to partition (same drive). Maybe the HDD ID is a partition ID instead? Anyways, I was thinking maybe I could get the Physical serial number of both the HDD and CPU, but I have not been able to find anything yet.

View 1 Replies.net - Difference Between Computer.FileSystem And System.IO.File?
May 3, 2011There is a lot of duplication of functions in the My.Computer.FileSystem and System.IO.File namespaces.
So what exactly is the difference between: My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(strSource, strDest, True)
and:System.IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest, True)
Is there a performance difference? What is everyone's opinion on which which has the edge on read-ability? I personally use the My.Computer Namespace but that is just habit now.

View 5 RepliesInheritance - Create A Method Called StartWorking() And Want FrmChild To Inherit - Method
Nov 25, 2011I have a large problem with inheritance in vb.net. The problem is the following:
I have 2 forms => frmBase and frmChild
In frmBase i want to create a method Called StartWorking() and i want frmChild to inherit this method.
But here is the tricky thing: when frmChild.StartWorking is called i would like the following => without calling MyBase.StartWorking()
I want frmBase.StartWorking() to be executed first and after a test in frmBase.StartWorking if blnValue is true then frmChild.StartWorking has to be activated. if blnValue is false that frmChild.StartWorking cannot be activated.
Use The ToString Method And A Counter To Concatenate A File Name Into A String Variable From The Image.FromFile Method?
Dec 18, 2010I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.

Reflected Method From A Loaded Assembly Executes Before Calling Method?
Jun 9, 2009When I am loading an Assembly dynamically, then calling a method from it, I appear to be getting the method from Assembly executing before the code in the method that is calling it.It does not appear to be executing in a Serial manner as I would expect. Can anyone shine some light on why this might be happening. Below is some code to illustrate what I am seeing, the code from the some.dll assembly calls a method named PerformLookup. For testing I put a similar MessageBox type output with "PerformLookup Time: " as the text. What I end up seeing is:
First: "PerformLookup Time: 40:842"
Second: "initIndex Time: 45:873"

Determine Whether A Method Is Declared Normally Or As An Extension Method?
Jul 16, 2010Extension methods are useful for types that you don't own and can't/don't want to derive from and extend (e.g. reference types and interfaces). Obviously, interfaces should be kept as short and to-the-point as possible, so extension methods for interfaces are particularly useful (e.g. LINQ).For classes, especially classes that you own, they're still useful - but I'm wondering how you determine what should be an extension method or what should be a method in the class itself.Personally, every time I think about it, I keep going round in circles with the following thoughts:If it's useful enough, it should be in the class.It's not part of the core responsibility of the class, it should be an extension method - but if it's useful enough, surely it should be the responsibility of the class...

Pass A Method Like A Parameter Of Another Method
Feb 4, 2011Is there a way to choose between different methods and pass one into another method ?
Sub conditionnal_binding(ByVal list_box_reference As ListBox, ByVal list_box_final As ListBox, _
ByVal dico_source As Dictionary(Of String, List(Of String)), _
ByVal my_methode As ??? )
' DO SOMETHING
End Sub
I wrote ??? because I don't know how to call another method inside a method.
I would like to choose between different "sub-methods". Here is how I would like to use my method :
conditionnal_binding(ListBox1, ListBox3, HTML.dico_basic_attribut, best_method)
conditionnal_binding(ListBox1, ListBox3, HTML.dico_basic_attribut, some_method)
conditionnal_binding(ListBox1, ListBox3, HTML.dico_basic_attribut, another_method)
