I've made an interface called ApprovalEvent in a separate file with the namespace myproject... I've also made a class called PurchaseOrder... it's also in the same namespace, just in a separate file. Whenever I try to make PurchaseOrder implement ApprovalEvent it always says that ApprovalEvent is undefined...
How can I make the class recognize that the interface exists but is in a different file?[code]...

View 2 RepliesIn the developing environment the computers do not have com ports, but I am working on a project for a client who does. It is annoying that when I test the program on my computers I always get the error. "The port (COM1) does not exist"
I am catching the general exeption but the debugger stops there anyway. I can press "continue" and the program resumes but I would like to clean that up and not try to open the port if the computer does not have one.
vb.net
Try
SerialPort1.Open()

lblNoCOM1 just tells the user that there is no serial port and that the barcode scanner is not working.

I have developed a desktop application that connects to a MS SQL server over a network. One of my clients wants a third party company to be able to use my desktop application but connect to the MS SQL database in my client�s office. Obviously my client could open the ports to the SQL server to make this accessible from the web, but this is a huge security issue and obviously not one I want to even recommend. Is there a way that I can make my desktop application securely communicate over the web to the SQL database?

View 7 RepliesI am trying to write(what I thought would be a simple piece of code. I was wrong.
What I am trying to do is to get an application to check if a file exists, However, I have it wrong as the file obviously does exists, but when I run the application it tells me it does not.
Imports System.IO
Public Class check
Dim checkfile As New FileInfo("C:\HelloWorld")

im trying to make code to check if a file with the same name exists twice in the same dir one with .dds and one with .veh file extentions and if they do put in a listbox but if only one exists then it puts it in another listbox i have made code to filter .dds in to one listbox and .veh in another but i dont know how to make the "check" if they are both there
this is the code i have to split them at the mo
For Each files In dir
Dim path() As String = files.Split("\")
Dim chunk As Integer = path.Length
[Code]....
but i wanted the Else for the .dds files that dont have the matching .veh file

Have only just started trying Visual Basic after using Delphi almost ever since it first came out. How on earth do I see if a file exists? - simple terms please
View 2 RepliesI have the following
If Dir("C:Test.txt") <> "" Then TextBox1.Text = "File exists" Else TextBox1.Text = "File does not exist"
End If However, I'd like to use this alongside a DataGridView.
Basically, when the application runs, the user selects a folder for file storage. Then, in the DataGridView, the contents in each cell of Column 1 become the file name. In short, the contents of a cell, plus the selected folder for file storage, becomes a whole file path.I need to use the above code to get my application to check if the file exists, and if it does, it should place the text "File Exists" in column 2 of the DGV.
I can't work out a way for the DGV to be "continually aware" if files have been created and so to update automatically without the user having to press buttons etc. As soon as the file exists, the correct text should be placed in Column2.

View 1 RepliesI have a method which tests for the existence of a file prior to carrying out some manipulation of file content as follows:
[Code]...
The idea is that if the file does not exist, then the file is generated by calls to the NLog logger instance, at which point the file is created and the specified header info is inserted. The method works fine from the application itself, however I have a simple NUnit test which implements a test method to verify that the file is created and populated as expected. When I step through with the debugger, I find that '_logPath' is set to:
D:Documents and SettingsTE602510Local SettingsTemp

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the file DOES exist, the call to File.Exists returns false. From earlier viewing of the config path the above path would appear to be correct for these NUnit tests. Does anybody have a clue what is happening here and what I need to do to get the desired result? The pathname to the log file as per the XP file system is:D:Documents and SettingsTE602510My Documents_VSSWorkAreaPsalertsIpTestsinDebuglogs
