There are several times in my code when I need to determine the width of some text. Under VB6 I would use the .textwidth() method pretty much any time I wished.Under VB.NET it appears that the paint event is the only place I can gain access to an initialized graphics object and from that the measurestring() method.Do I have to use a flag in the paint event when want to auto-resize my splitterbar position or is there another way?

View 3 RepliesBelow is my code. I have a system that provides me voltage readings that changes based on a timer (interval of 300 milliseconds). I want to compile voltage readings for over 5 seconds (but I need the timer reading to remain at 300 ms) and then spit out an average of the THAT data. How do I do this? I was thinking of using datasetvalue but wasn't sure.

I am using TPT modeling and writing the EDMX by hand as our data model is much more complex than the designer can support. My model includes a ProjectObject which has a dependent object name Project. When I query ProjectObject.OfType(Project) using Linq to SQL, I receive back data in all the fields that are inherited from ProjectObject, but no data in the fields that only in Project. I have ran a SQL Server Trace and captured the actual SQL and ran it using SSMS and it returns data there, so I am relatively certain the data is being passed back, but it seems to be getting lost somewhere in EF. Everything appears to be ok in my model, but . . .

I'm trying to make a mini map for a 2d space shooter of mine; I've for the math down (I think) for when an item should appear on the mini map, but the problem is the graphic. As it stands, the graphic spills over the edge of the mini map graphic and disappears only when it's fully outside. I need it to crop the image, or at least not show it off the mini map graphic.I thought of using the sourcerect rectangle of the spritebatch.draw, but it seems to me that would only work for the right and bottom section, as I can adjust the size of the rectangle. I haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. Can the location of the source rectangle be changed in relation to the graphic that it is a part of being drawn so that I can use that to crop the left and top sides?

I've tested the codes that Zedgraph provides in his homepage, but that code only work if you call this subroutine in the form load. Instead of that, I want to make the graphic when I clic a button.
Currently, I am using a VB.NET to read data from serial port. when i open the serial port, the data is read and plotting the graphic at the same time
View 2 RepliesWhen setting a DataSet row column to Nothing, like row.Date = Nothing, why does it initialize it to the data type minvalue? In this case a date, that gets set to 0000-01-01. The column is set to allow null etc., and if I don't set the row to anything at all, it will leave the column empty. So why does Nothing act this way?
In C# I would've set it to DbNull, I guess, but I'm a tad green on VB.NET - as you might be able to tell. :)

I have a spreadsheet that has two columns (A and B) - Column A contains Month/Year and column B contains sales. I would like a bit of vba that will look in column A to find the month/year then calculate from column B the average sales for that period. So for example:
Date Sales
Jan 11 500.00
Jan 11 250.00
Mar 11 152.00
Apr 11 116.00
So in other words there can be a number of lines with the same date/year and the code will need to identify these and average all sales from column B associated with that particular date. I would like the output to appear in a summary table showing the total average sales for each particular month - perhaps this could be output to a new sheet?
what is independent and dependent if conditions!?
View 1 RepliesI have developed an application in VB.net which uses R Programming language. The library that help connect VB.net to R is called R-DCOM. The application requires the user to install R-Programming language into the user's computer. The application was working all fine until there was a version change in the R-Programming language. The specific libraries involved with this are: Interop.STATCONNECTORCLNTLib.dll, Interop.StatConnectorCommonLib.dll and Interop.STATCONNECTORSRVLib.dll. It also uses StatConnectorClnt.tlb, StatConnectorSrv.exe and StatConnLib.tlb to run the application. Is this something related to "DLL hell". Is there a fix to that I may not have to recompile and install the original code and install them to the user's computer all over again.
View 2 RepliesI have developed an application with a plugin architecture using interfaces. I realized that when I release the API for 3rd party plugin development, someone would be able to create a loader program to replace my main program quite easily. Is there any way I can make the plugin dependent on my main program? All my main program does is get an icon and a description of the plugin from the DLL plugin (using the interface) and then calls the dll's interface function to create and display the form.

I have a master page called SampleMaster.master and this page contains a Repeater control
The Repeater control will be used to display the relevant tags associated with each content page and the tags will vary between content pages
The data extraction method Tags.GetTags() is working but I do not know the best approach to populate the Repeater control in the master page dependent on what the content page is.
Would the code reside in the masterpage page code behind or the content page code behind?
VS2008 / XP Pro sp3 / .NET 3.5 I develop during the day on my office computer and bring home projects on a laptop to work on over the weekend. After working at home then at work, I have a conflict that I don't understand. When I build, all is normal but when I debug, I get "Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly." If I click on the warning message I also get "Do you want to fix these conflicts by adding binding redirect records in the app.config file"?Both computers have same O/S, same SP, same .NET, same VS. Only thing that could be different is particular O/S updates that have been installed on each machine. What causes this warning and where do I look for differences? I really hate to let mSoft keep changing my code every Saturday and Monday. I just don't trust it on Mondays.
View 7 RepliesIs there a way to make one list box dependent on the other based on user input. Here's my situation: A teacher has the ability to enter the name of the student into a listbox via a textbox. The teacher may then select the student from the first student list box and input grades that would go into a grade listbox. If the teacher selects another student from the student list box, the grade listbox would either go empty or show the grades inputed for the other student; all the while retaining all previously recorded grades for other students.
View 1 RepliesI have a slight problem , using vb 2008 i have written some code that checks the current datetime on the computer. This gives me the answer in the format mon, tues etc. what i now want to do is to use that to call a spreadsheet dependent on the day of the week. here is my code so far
Code:
Dim TIME As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim FORMAT As String = " ddd "
TextBox1.Text = TIME.ToString(FORMAT)
[Code]....
Now i have tried the private sub eg SATS() on a separate button and it works perfectly . so it appears to be that the sub is not been called. I think it is probably a syntax where the datetime answer is not been recognised, in that textbox1.text = "sat" is not the same as datetime = sat .
I'm running into a little problem making one combo box dependent on the selection of another combo box. I'm using a access back-end to this project.

I have two combo boxes on my form, one that displays the Major description, and one that displays the MinorCategoryTbl description, but the stored value is the PK for both. I want the selection of the minor category combobox to depend on what was selected in the major category combobox.
