I have been using vb express for some time, but do not know how to incorporate/ use a provided library in my app. I received the library for use, but have no idea how to use it in an application.
View 8 RepliesIs there a link to download the MSDN Express Library without using the [vb]setup downloader/installer? I'm using a dialup connection and I'd like to use a third porty download manager so that I can pause/shutdown/restart the download process a few times. It's 243MB, which would take about 10-12 hours on my connection. I can't tie up the phone line for this amount of time.Is there an external link to an .exe or .msi package somewhere?

View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this is the right forum or not but...I've written my first VB.NET 2008 Express Class Library project (addin dll) and now I need to deploy it.

View 1 RepliesI particularly like the Publish facility within VS 2008 (VB). What I actually want to do is use the same facility for a Spreadsheet. I.E. I have a Spreadsheet with a chunk of VBA code behind it.

View 1 RepliesThis seems like it should be easy. I have an Excel file that has the information I need, but I don't want to need Excel to run my program. I need to be able to package that information with the VB code. I'm using VS 2010.
I know how to write a program to read Excel and put information into an array, but can I turn that information into something my next program can read independently of the original spreadsheet. This isn't something I have time to input by hand.
I'll try to explain this one more time so that it's clear as mud. I need to be able to incorporate an Excel spreadsheet or VBA code into a VB program so that it becomes independant of MS Office and/or (because it'd be nice to know how to do both) read information from the Excel spreadsheet and then save that array for use in a later program thereby removing the influence of Excel completely.
Finally, I'll explain my program and desired function so that somebody might be able to interperet my desperate ranting. I am writing a program that will require properties of steam to calculate boiler performance. I have found an example of the properties I need [URL] or I might be able to find other sources. I now need to roll that information into my own program.
I currently have two projects that are working fine alone. One is a simple chat program (found on forums) and the other is a client tool for my clients to use. I want to add a button to my client tool that executes the chat. When I try to add the chat code to my client project I get errors and understanding some of the issues. I know that some of it is that there is a form in the chat with buttons for connecting to the server and then a button to start the chat but I want to make it "one" button from my program that is "chat" and it connects and opens the chat form.

View 2 RepliesI am wanting to incorporate a Script Control into a vb.net application as opposed to using excel for logic calculations in the background. This is for users to store logic and have it repopulate a custom interface. I would rather store everything in sql server and evaluate it through a Script Control. Also, is there a Script Editor in the .net framework that would allow for entering the code? Maybe intellisensing as well?
I used the MS Script Control, however i don't think it supports the .net functions and is reletively old.

I wanted to make mysql dump files using a batch file and an app made through visual studio 2008.How can I incorporate this batch file or call it from vb?There is a code like this in vb.net but its using an absolute address:

How do I modify this so that I could just execute the file without providing the exact address. Or is there any place in the file system(windows 7) where I could just copy the exe file and just call it this way?

View 2 Replies how to incorporate a PIC with VB.
I`m trying to find out the steps needed to achieve that, i`m i correct?
1) i need to find a PIC that is suitable for my project (to handle wireless motion sensors)?
2) I need to write the code for the PIC? (does the manufacture of the PIC provides an environment to write the assembly language?)
3) Then i need to write the vb code?
4) Finally to use a serial port to create a communication between VB and PIC. Also are their any all ready made PIC`s that can support VB code direct without the need of writing the assembly code?
I'm interested in making a licence key system to incorporate into my programs. I understand the general idea of checking a database for used keys, but I don't know how I can implement a system into my programs.
I had an idea of creating a custom algorithm, creating a file which contains the licence key, which is encoded with the new algorithm. So people can't just guess the licence because they can't understand what the algorithm (like a custom hash) means. On the contrary, would it be possible to somehow set a licence key variable in my program when it is built or installed somehow? Because I don't understand how it would be possible to work out what key the user needs etc...
After writing that last sentence, I realised that when somebody pays for some software or registers, their username and email is put into a database, and then when they want to register the software, they have to fill in their username, email, and then licence key. Then the key will be filled in in the database. Would that work?
I'm currently using this method in calling batch files in vb.net:

So far I only see Property being used as a means of validation in my learning material. I think maybe that's because it might be an easy way to demonstrate its usage. But isn't validation done with some kind of vb validation or on change event? Or do we use property in those events? I want to duplicate those techniques where applicable so I can get better and be more on the same page as the more advanced programmers. I'm working on incorporating classes to my work style. I see that I'm doing lots of repetitive type coding in projects that I want to put in a class. So Property keeps popping up during the learning curve. But I don't want to code Property in a mis-used way just for the sake of using it.
