So I'm on the way out of the woods for my latest app, which will have users across the nation.I'd like to put in an Easter Egg, but ideas are escaping me.Does anyone have a good idea for an Easter Egg to put into my app?
View 15 RepliesI don't want to actually MAKE the pong easter egg, but for anyone with Dreamweaver, try typing 'dreamweaver' into the color selection box to play a round of pong.The bit that I want to know how it works is the bit at the end once you lose.After your loss, it will immediately play a small tune, whether or not your volume is on. In fact, it plays whether or not you have speakers, which makes me think the sound card itself is playing the tune.How can you achieve a similar effect, playing notes without sound or speakers, in vb.net? I would imagine this requires P/Invoke, seeing as there is no obvious way inside the framework.I don't need a whole song, a simple beep or the ability to change frequency of the beep will suffice.

View 7 RepliesI realize that this would mean a third-party component and I've looked at a few. Does anyone use/know of a component that they would recommend to get reliable, quality Word to PDF conversion via a VB.NET application?
Anyone know of any cheaper options that will do a good job? I tried a couple of cheaper RTF to PDF convertors, saving the Word doc as RTF via the app but the PDF they output lost formatting on Word tabs, table of contents, page numbers, etc. Not good enough.
Otherwise, I will have to tell the app users they will need to convert the Word doc to PDF themselves (unless they have Word 2007 and pdf add-in which I can probably offer as an option).

View 6 RepliesIn my VB6 project I had eight list boxes in an array. I was able to create a command to move to the next listbox by adding one to the index. I was able to move to the next selected item in the listbox with a command also.All the data in my arrayed listboxes: I was wondering if I could put into a ListView with multiple columns in VB2008 (each column would have the items from the listboxes mentioned before).
If they were in a ListView, would I be able to work in each column by moving to the next item with a command like I did before, and then move to the next column of items with a separate command?
I was thinking it would be easier to do that than array all those listboxes again.

View 1 RepliesI have a little problem with checking if a sql connection is good.
Attached here i have a simple vb.net program that should check if the sql connection to the sql server is good. If i just run it once it works very well. But if i use it in a timer and check the connection to the sql server every 10sec it will only tell me that the connection is good (V=0).
I have tested the code with turning of the sql server service.
Dim connect As String = "Server=192.168.1.2;Database=Test;User ID=sa;Password=12345;Trusted_Connection=False"
Dim sqlconnection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connect)

View 3 RepliesI'm looking for something relatively simple - just a monthly calender view where text can be placed on each individual day - just like a calender on a fridge (with a highlight for the current day). Slap it on a form or UC, set up a few properties and all done. I don't even need any clicking events - just a display.
The controls I've seen for sale are much more than what I need and creating my own, while an option, is something I'd rather not have to spend time on.

View 6 RepliesI've used Teleflex, developerfusion, and SharpDeveloper, and all these, to convert C# to VB, but as most know, there are always errors, and modules left out, and such.Does anybody know of a good VB editor, preferably freeware, and can handle translated VB and offer suggestions to correct it for you? Visual Studio underlines things and offers suggestions on some things, but other things it just underlines and leaves you to the guesswork, which doesn't help a non-coder like me.
View 4 RepliesHow to implement my own events I'm not sure why do I use them. I mean instead of rising event you could simply call functions right? This is as close as I got to a good reason:
1) If you call a function that does one thing and then based on result it needs to do something else it may be a good idea to do that something else in event function that is raised when that first thing was done. This way you avoid creating long functions and can make system more intuitive.
2) If object1 is inside object2 (a variable) and object2 has function DoThis and in that function affect something in object2's parent class it's better to use event in object1 rather than mess with parent (object1) inside object2.
I don't know enough about VB.Net (2008, Express Edition) yet, so I wanted to ask if there were a better way to find files with different names but the same contents, ie. duplicates.In the following code, I use GetFiles() to retrieve all the files in a given directory, and for each file, use MD5 to hash its contents, check if this value already lives in a dictionary: If yes, it's a duplicate and I'll delete it; If not, I add this filename/hashvalue into the dictionary for later:[code]Is this a good way to solve the issue of finding duplicates, or is there a better way I should know about?
