I'm new to WebRequest authentication and have been researching how to authenticate w/ a couple websites to pull some excel data from them. Couple things I'm confused about is
a.) how to properly read a log from Fiddler (using this to pick up get/post data from the website authentication)
b.) how do use the data from Fiddler to program the VB.NET WebRequest properly.
I've been able to authenticate w/ websites that use simple authentication HTTPS, but any site that does any redirects/REST/cookie auth I'm lost.
I'm in need of a simple Regular Expression that will match all strings that start with the string "textures/". The problem probably is when to end the match.
Here is an example of the type of file I need to parse:
[Code]...
I have attached an example file (it's from a game, and it's a free game, so I don't think this is not allowed?). When opening that with Notepad I see loads of spaces and a few strange characters. When opening it with Wordpad, I see mostly strange characters (but the "textures/..." strings I need are still there). When reading it with VB (IO.File.ReadAllText or using a StreamReader) I cannot get it to show more than a few random characters, and the "textures/..." strings are no longer there...
But i m unable to check any outgoing connection from my application in fiddler how i can check what request my application sent to server if i m using proxy
My problem is when i use this schema.ini, the 9th, 10th and 11th column of the second row of the csv file doesn't read properly if there's a special character in it (it supposed to be telphone number), i think because the row above is returned as a number(integer) because it's pure numeric:
So my most recent project hinges on the ability to open a selected XML file and display the names of certain fields in a listbox control. This normally wouldn't be challenging except that the following variable is equal to vbNull (Nothing). Dim XMLReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
I need to parse a binary stream in .NET to convert a 16 byte unsigned integer. I would like to use the BinaryReader.ReadUIntXX() functions but there isn't a BinaryReader.ReadUInt128() function available. I assume I will have to roll my own function using the ReadByte function and build an array but I don't know if this is the most efficient method?
I've almost finished my multimedia project. On the photobrowser (which constructs thumbnails of every photo in a folder and draws them onto a bitmap which I then make persistent and from which the user can select a thumbnail and the image is shown in full on a new form). You can print the bitmap consisting of 100s of thumbnails or the full image associated with a thumbnail. The onloy thing missing is getting all the Exif info - which is proving more difficult than I expected despite the propetyitems in vb.net. Yes, I have set the encoding to UTF8 etc.
I am looking for a code snippet which opens a image, creates a clone of this bitmap in memory disposes this opened image so that all handles are closed.
Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation) Using Block also doesnt work.
In the project�s btnReadNumber click event handler, replace the code in the try section of the try/catch block � the two if statements and the unconditionally executed code � with one if-else statement that performs the same tasks. Use the And operator to write the if-statement�s condition.What I don't understand is how am I supposed to use the 'And' operator so that when I insert a number between 32-16384 in the text box it'll allow it to go through and at the same time not allow any numbers lower than 32(lower_bound) and higher than 16384(upper_bound) to go through.I've use the 'Or' operator and that was simple, but with 'And' I'm not understanding it.Remember it has to be with the 'AND' operator. I bold the area where my problem is at. It's obviously not the right answer, but that's where I was stumped.
Dim sum As Integer = 0 Const upper_bound As Integer = 16384 Const lower_bound As Integer = 32
In my word processor I have an 'Open' option on a menu strip. Here is the code for it:
Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click With ofdFile .Title = "Select a file to open"[code]....
For some reason when I press the 'Open' item and open the ofdFile dialog box .txt files do not appear even when I have the 'Text Files' filter selected However, when I use the 'All Files' filter they appear. And the 'HTML Files filter is also working properly.Why are the .txt files not appearing when I use the Text Files filter?
I don't even know where to begin describing this. I have a project, that uses settings, for some paths, settings that I retrieve with the My.Settings. function.In my laptop, when I change the .exe.config file, the settings are updated accordingly, but when I try that on the production server, it just shows the default value used while compiling.
I tried changing the solution configurations to debug and other custom configs with no effect.Tried to use the same folder copied and pasted without version control, still the same result.Tried a co-workers laptop, by using the last svn revision, it works there too. But on neither of the servers works.
Now when I run this code, the value of MyBase.Associate.IsAgent() is true. Yet at no point is Me.pnlAddComment.Visible evaluating to true. When I output the results as Response.Write statements, it shows IsAgent = True, pnlAddComment.Visible = False. When I run it in debug mode, placing the line break on the second line above to allow the set to occur: I put the mouse over IsAgent and it displays "True"; I put the mouse over pnlAddComment.Visible and it displays "False".
A Co-worker suggested that it's possible that it's Panel.Visible black box code in the getter that allows the assignment to occur but returns false because some parent object is set (at that point in the code execution) to False. I've reviewed the parent objects and at no time do any of them appear to be set to not visible.
If this were a reference type I might be convinced that some other process is modifying the reference between this assignment and when it is actually used (at Render), but this is happening right at this line of code.What would cause this boolean assignment to behave this way without throwing an exception?
Solution:The answer turned out to be a parent object in the control hierarchy located outside of the user control itself. Since nothing was explicitly set to false, and I agreed with @Shadow Wizard, @Damien_The_Unbeliever and @CodeMonkey1 that it had to be some outside control influencing the panel at that point, I decided to put a recursive while loop to test the parent of each user control in the hierarchy at that point:
Dim o as Object = Me.pnlAddComment.Parent While o IsNot Nothing Me.lblMessage.Text &= "<br />" & o.ID & ": " & o.Visible.ToString() o = o.Parent End While
Then I just ran this on the server and the output came back with the full visibility of each control in the chain. What ended up occurring is that this control was contained within a view control within a MultiView. This view control is expected to be visible as it is supposed to be the ActiveView for this particular call, but at the point in the life cycle when my code is run, the view has not been identified as the active view. Since it's not officially active, the view is implicitly false, and all child controls return a value of false when Visible is queried.
The rest of the assignments behave as expected from that point. The lblRating control is set to false (permanently) because at that moment the proper visibility setting for pnlAddComment is false. The lesson I've learned here is not to make control visibilities dependent on each other in this fashion when there is an alternative (and just as simple) method.
I have a windows forms Application using DCOM to connect to another server in order to retrieve data from a database. The program works perfectly fine on my develeopment box both inside of and outside of the idea.However it throws an exception on my test box: System.Exception.... TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY. The error happens when accessing a property of on the the public DCOM classes. The property holds an instance of one of the private classes for the DCOM. I've compared the registries and all the relevant entries seem to be the same. When I compared the dumps I noticed that System.Config and System.XML werent loaded on the test machine, even though they are installed and appear to be in the GAC.
I cannot figure out why my calculation is not working. I am doing for 1 to 12 and it gives me 12 inputs but counts my entries as 13? What am I missing. If I change it to 0 to 11 same thing. I am not sure what the issue is, but I cannot see it, and am not sure where to look.I need to end up with 12 cycles through and intEntries to be 12.

I have a VB.Net 2008/Access 2007 app that I can�t get to display data in an organized way on a listview. The listview displays the data in the order that the data was entered in the products table. In the SQL statement that loads the listview I put ORDER BY SupplierTbl.CompanyName but it doesn't do it. The listview shows the data in the order that the records were entered in the database. So then I was going to settle for if I can get the listview sorted by clicking on the column header.If I can get that to work then that would be acceptable. So I then implemented the sort routine. The sort works and it doesn't.If you click on a column header then all the rows show the information nicely. The database has an OLE object column for storing images. Customer wants images stored in the database not file paths. When you click the listview the image displays in a picturebox.
The proper images display when the listview is clicked when I use the SQL statement below without the ORDER BY. But when I click on a column header and reorder the display it's no good. If you click on a row in the listview the wrong image is being displayed. It displays them in the order as they were in before the sort. All the other columns look good and are behaving except for the Image column. So that then makes me wonder if my original problem with the ORDER BY is directly related with the OLE object column. Is there something about this data type that I need to know to manipulate it in SQL? My reaction is that maybe since this column is resource heavy it goes by different rules. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to make the end result have some order? This is the SQL statement without the ORDER BY:
I have a timer program. Initially, the font for the time is the correct size, and when I click "start", the time is the right size too(I had set the initial size to 26 in the properties menu). When I click "break", once the time is up, it displays "Break Over!!" to fit the label(because I changed the font size). Then when I click "start" again, the font has shrunken, even though I set it back to the original size of 26. Why is the font size for the timer not back to it's original size when I click "start" after I have clicked "break"?[code]...
I'm joining several files and would like to encrypt them with AES. As a test I'm joining the exact same file twice, but I'm never able to properly decrypt the second file.
Steps to reproduce: Make sure you have a file "C:Original.pdf" or change the filepath.
1) Click Button1 to encrypt the file. This will create an encrypted file named "Encrypted.bin"
2) Click Button2 to decrypt the file. This will create a decrypted file named "Decrypted.pdf" Both "Original.pdf" and "Decrypted.pdf" are 100% the same.
3) Uncomment the code between the hash character lines.
4) Repeat the first two steps. "Original.pdf" and "Decrypted.pdf" are now not the same.

i will just use Environment.Exit(code) to exit an application. (usually through a button click) , but i would like to know is it the proper way to exit , ie, releasing memory etc etc...
I have a windows form with listboxes, buttons and a checkbox. It works fine at home but when I take it to school it doesn't display properly. I have been given full privileges and the .NET framework V3.5 is installed. I have all my buttons/checkboxes on the right hand side but they don't display like they aren't even there (there is no extra blank form space either). The form sized wasn't locked
i am making a simultaneous equations program and cant figure how to get passedtext properly working, as i declare the amount questions the user wants to answer in the settings form, it then passes this over to the simultaneous equations form and i cant get it to keep spawning questions until the number is reached.

I am needing help in understanding how to declare variables properly. I am needing to write as program that calculates the commission for a sales person. I keep getting a error listed below. I thought I declared the salestextbox, costtextbox as integers correctly to use them in the calculation. I Copied my code below also. I have reread the chapter again and I am still lose.[code]
this is vb.net 2005, I have some issues I believe with time format.everytime when I try to change datetime on my local PC, I got 9/11/2009 8:00PM Here is my
Private Declare Function SetLocalTime Lib "kernel32" (ByRef lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME) As UInt32 Structure SYSTEMTIME Public wYear As UInt16 Public wMonth As UInt16 Public wDayOfWeek As UInt16
[code].....
is it any trouble if I try to apply that date on some other machine, like any built in additional timer within Windows XP?
