Handling Data Being Stepped Along A Process?
Apr 23, 2011
I am currently creating a Windows App for a handheld device (WM 6.0, CF 2.0, sqlce 3.5) that pulls data from the server only when connected to a dock (all the significant data is maintained/altered on the handheld til it comes back and is docked for a sync with server).The data is similiar something UPS would do in that it manages pickups and dropoffs of items from a location to a location and records the time these "transactions" occurInitially, the handheld has a couple source tables (pickups and dropoffs) and some validation tables. During a given pickup or dropoff, I am trying to figure out the best way to move the data along this multistep process

I'm currently working on a project where I am transmitting data from a comm device via the serial port and resorting the raw data (in binary) to its respective ascii values. The problem I'm facing is determining the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Essentially, I have 68 bytes coming in, the first and second bytes represent the page and packet number and the data itself ranges from 3 to 64, the remaining for my checksum.
What I am needing to do is, grab 50 consecutive bytes per variable in my array, and that is where I'm confused. I have easily pulled my 3-64 bytes and stored that data to a string. I just don't know the most efficient method to accomplish my goal. Should I write directly to file all my data, as there are like 8 pages, of 128 packet data. [Code] I can capture the the first 50 by using a for-loop easily, but what would be the preferred method to track what data chunk I've taken? The more I think about it, I think I may just want to write to file, all my data, and then just take them back to back in 50 byte chunks. Is that the most efficient method?

I was wondering if this code could be better optimized for multithreading. What it does is open a process and loops through the data, there could be any range of files to open (so I would like to have say 2 or 3 processes at once):

I need to get this into something that I can read (decimal or hex or 1s and 0s) in vb and I just don't know what to do - I tried using Asc() but it wasn't working and I know now that it can't work with characters higher than 127.

I'm writing a simple application - address book. User enters new addresses and they are added as an entry to a list visible on the main form (frmStart). I use one form to add and edit (AddContForm). Add button on the frmStart works fine, however I experience some problems with the edit button as when I press it and enter new data they are added as new entry however the previous entry is still there. Logic is handled by Contact.vb class.
Contact.vb
Public Class Contact
Public Contact As String
Public Title As String
[code]....
Update:I really don't care much for whether the data on the AddForm is the old data or the new data. I think the problem now is that when I click edit previous entry on the list is not deleted (what I believe I have indicated in my question) - I tried to delete it (by using the if condition and checking what button was pressed) however it seems it is not working properly for some reason.

I am working on an application with plugins. I have created the plugin host and the plugin, now I need to figure out how to pass data back to the main application from the plugin. IE: I have MainApp that has plugins in a subfolder. It loads the plugins and shows a menu item the launches the plugin. When the plugin launches it opens a windows form inside the plugin. The form does some calculations and then returns data in a string array. How do I pass that string array back to the main application?

So, I have a little issue.. I can't currently explain it using the software I'm developing because it's "internal"... So I'm going to describe it as an email serverAnd the email server has a fair number of email accounts, and I want to save the accounts emailFor development, I've been saving it all in a list of a structure (this sounds worse than it is, the data actually is no more than 120 bytes per "email")

What are good things to check for, with respect to error-handling, when you are dealing with the data-access-layer? For example, let's assume I have this function..
Public Function UserExists(ByVal userName As String) As DataTable
Dim dt As Object = Nothing
Dim arSqlParameters(0) As SqlParameter
[code]....
How would you go about ensuring that your code elegantly handles anything unexpected in a situation like this?

I need to consume data from a webservice. I am receiving xml data and using this to create objects through property setters.
In one particular case, an attribute of the object (called "is_active" and indicates whether the object is active or inactive in the application) is represented sometimes by
<field type="BooleanField" name="is_active">1</field>
and at other times by <field type="BooleanField" name="is_active">True</field>
The client code requires me to represent this using integers 1 and 0. The returned string "True" or "False" results in System.FormatException, as expected.
What is the most graceful way to deal with this situation?

I have a delete button in a datagridview. The button works fine however when there is nothing to delete it throws an index out of range exception. Now I know for a fact people are going to click that button even though there is nothing the I am presuming the best course of action is going to be a try/catch but I am not sure how to do it. My code is as follows,
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick
If e.ColumnIndex <> 7 Then

I have an Excel based algo-trading app that needs to take in lots of real-time data, and make trading decisions based on the calculations driven by the data. It is not one of those "read-only" stock ticker kinda spreadsheets.I created a COM object with VB.NET that runs in its own thread space which collects data from a socket, and when the data is read it raises an Event with data attached. In Excel VBA, the event handler parses the data, puts them to the right places on the spreadsheet to feed calculations (so far it sounds like a stock ticker app), and then, based on the results of the various calculations it does something.The problem is that when the user starts to click around the spreadsheet while there is large amount of data coming, the event handler's cell updating breaks apart. If the app is left alone without user action, it stands well. My frustration comes from not understanding what happens to the main thread when a user clicks around. Either the event handler blocks the user action, or the user action blocks the event handler (under which case I will put in some queuing facility). But I just don't see how user action can break the code (like causing VBA to stop executing)

I have written a windows service that is meant to launch a notepad when a specific action happens. The problem i have is that even though the service launches notepad, the actual notepad it self is NOT visible. I know that it has been launced because i can see the process in the task manager. By the way the process is listed as a SYSTEM process rather than a process under my user name (i believe that is because my process is a "LocalSystem" one).

I have a datagridview that seems to be working fine until the user adds a name into the unique name column that already exists. I am getting this: System.Data.ConstraintException: Column 'Name' is constrained to be unique. Value 'test' is already present. where and how I capture this error and prevent the users from adding another name, case insensitive, to prevent this huge error from coming up?

I'm receiving a lot of data at the rate of 19200. I'm using read byte to assemble a buffer and process it. When I receive certain data I need to reply to the sender. I noticed that my replies are not fast enough. So I did a test where I unplugged the sender and noticed I was still receiving data! That I found was because the serial port buffer still had data from the sender that I didn't process. Anyhow I'm using Visual Studio 2005, the serial port object. How can I process the data faster. Would something like SerialPort1.ReadExisting or ReadLine work faster?

I found VB to be the easiest and best tool to process ascii data. I have a bunch of them (about 15), each is constructed differently, and I will receive monthly updates. the data is all the US flight navigation systems, like VORs, airports...etc. Some of the files have comments and explanations on top and bottom only, and the rest is heading and data at specific columns. Others are a little trickier, like the data for Jetways, its not continuous data, but it breaks for each jetway to identify it first, then plot the data in rows. What am ultimately trying to do is create a tabular version of some sort of this data to be used in my GIS database. Some of the fields needs to be combined ofcourse, like the latitude and longitude data is given in separate columns, but they need to be combined. I have pasted below a small sample of two different data files. [code]

I'm looking for a way to process the text entered into a textbox, before the the focus is lost from the control. Or a way to pass a reference to the control to a function/sub when the control has lost focus. In Access I would be able to use the AfterUpdate event. I have tried the following events, but have not figured out how to get what I want from either of these events:
- TextChanged (tried to capture the Tab key, didn't work)
- Validating (when fired for Text1, the ActiveControl name is Text2 which is the next TextBox control)
