I have a VB file that imports System.IO, but only uses it is a couple of places.My co-workers and I were wondering if there is a small performance boost if we just use System.IO explicitly were we need it (IE., System.IO.MemoryStream) instead of importing it.

My app downloads multiple files, and its limited to 2 connections. Now I've read you can change this, by adding the following in the app.config file:
CODE:
And that does work, however I would like to hardcode it in, rather than use app.config file.
I've tried (importing System.Net.Configuration):
CODE:
But that doesn't work, still stays limited to 2 connections total.
I have a VB Web Site project that has recently (and mysteriously) stopped importing the "System" namespace by default.
I'm having to either place an Imports System line at the top of each code behind, or preface everything with System, which is fairly annoying, not to mention redundant. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the System namespace back to being imported by default.
I've already checked to see that WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIGweb.config contains the <add namespace="System"/> line--it does. That was my best lead.
I have references to several namespaces within the System namespace in the <assemblies> node (e.g. System.Design, System.Web.Extensions of my website's web.config. There is no <namespaces> node. This has not been changed recently.

View 4 RepliesI want to pick a value from a DateTimePicker in 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt' format, add 00 as second with it, store it in a DateTime variable and save it to database. Suppose if I pick the value 05/28/2010 9:25 AM or 05/28/2010 9:25:34 AM from the DateTimePicker, it'll be stored in the variable and saved to database as 05/28/2010 9:25:00 AM irrespective of what value is chosen from the DateTimePicker for second. I'm using the following statement but it's getting failed during the format conversion while storing it in the DateTime variable generating an error.[code]

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to get an enum to explicitly cast to it's base type?If I have something like this:
Code:
Public Enum Packets As Byte
Stuff = &H0
End Enum
I have to do
Code:
Dim test As Byte = CByte(Packets.Stuff)
Rather than
Code:
Dim test As Byte = Packets.Stuff
I don't see why that's the way it works, since you know that the enum will always have values of the base type.
In VBA from Access 2003 I was able to employ the following :Form.Controls(" in here I am able to use a string variable holding the name of the control I want to reference ").property= etc.Is this kind of thing possible in VB .netI have a listview control to which I am adding 'errors' and the tag property of each item hold a string that is the name of the control I want to set the focus to when they double click on the listview item. So I want to do something like this :<listviewitem.tag>.focus()and have the string interpreted as a control name.

I have created a web service in a virtual directory using VS 2008. I have tested the service by going to the .asmx page and everything is working fine. So I selected the "Add web reference" option under the solution and typed in the .asmx URL. It found the web service successfully and added the reference to the project. However, when I try to import the service namespace using the same name as the directory under the "App_WebReferences" folder, it doesn't recognize the name and gives me an error if I try to import it. Have I missed any steps in the process?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to write my first DLL and am struggling to get it working correctly and am receiving a variety of errors. For my Hello World DLL I was trying to follow this page [URL].. but as it was very old and referring to VB 6 I am now trying to use the instructions on this page: Essentially, what I have done is to follow all of the instructions on the second link, but then instead of calling it from C++ I call it fro my VB application (I have successfully managed to call DLLs from VB in the past). When I try to call the Add function (or any others) I get a BadImageFormatException error thrown saying "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)" but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried calling an alternative C++ function that is declared as a void and takes no arguements in order to completely avoid the problem of matching the data types but I get exactly the same error.
I gather that this is sometimes to do with target architectures, and have tried setting the C++ compiler to build it as both a Win32 DLL and as an x64 DLL, and each time changed the VB settings to match the outut type of the other but this doesn't seem to make any difference, and for some permutations even makes it worse with it saying that it can't find the entry point in the DLL that I'm calling.
I am completely new to this and am now at a loss for what to try and what could be going wrong,. The VB import is as follows:Private Declare Function Add Lib "DLL_Test.dll" (ByVal a As Double, ByVal b As Double) As Double Private Declare Sub HelloWorld Lib "DLL_Test.dll" ()
I inherited a DLL project developed in VB6; this project has to be integrated to a VB.NET GUI. At the moment, the project is integrated succesfully except for one detail that it is taking a lot of my time.
Every time that has to load a form from the COM DLL, the execution of the program loops and gives an OutofMemoryError -- I imagine the error is because the executing is looping by trying to load and reload the Form1 from the DLL. So, is it possible to import graphical controls and components along the DLL, such as Form1? or, do I need to separate them in order to import the DLL succesfully?

Ok, I've been fighting this for days and so far haven't found very much helpful information on the web. Apparently this isn't a very popular thing to do since there isn't much out there. I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I don't know very much about dll's or implementing classes in vb, so please correct me if my thinking is wrong.If it's relavent I'm using Visual Studio 2010.I'm working on a much larger project, so I've created a greatly simplified version to test and and ask questions about.Here's the situation:I've created a class in c++ that I now need to create an interface for in vb. As I said before I've created a much simpler class and compiled it as a dll. There are two functions in the dll:
[code]...
The setTestVar function simply sets the value of a member variable, and getTestVar returns the value of that variable. I load the setTestVar function from the dll like this:
[code]...
Then when I click a button, I call:setTestVar(9) This results in an "AccessViolationException was unhandled" error. "Attempted to read or write protected memory...."After thinking about it, I guess this would make sense if the constructor in the dll was never called (and thus the variable into which I'm trying to store data doesn't exist).So the question becomes, how do I call the constructor in the dll from vb such that I have some sort of handle or reference to that object when the call returns from the dll? Without a handle, I won't be able to access any of the member variables. Is this thinking close to being correct? Or is the problem something entirely different?So again, how do I call the constructor in the dll (from vb) and somehow have access (from vb) to the object that it creates?
