Measure A Path's Length?
Dec 2, 2009
I have some problems that about GraphicsPath:
How to measure a path's length?
How to insert a point along the path without changing its pattern?
and how to get a nearest point along the path with a given point?
or
get a on-path-point with a given percentage of the length of the path,
e.g.: 3/4 of Path(new point(){(0,0),(2,4)}) = (1.5,3)
(like Adobe Flash, the object can follow a path to move.)
I have tried to measure length with Graphicspath.flatten, but it takes time and not accurate enough. Is there a formula to do that?

My issue is to combine two paths which one or both of them may contain double dots. I used Path.Combine(string, string) and the returned string is still a long path as a result of concatenating these two paths. Single or double dots are not eliminated.
So, I tried to use Path.GetFullPath(string) method with the concatenated path as the argument.PathTooLongException is thrown because this path has more than 260 characters. However, if this path is normalized, it won't exceed the maximum characters for a file path.

I am new to the Window's API and have been trying to just poke around with it. It was suggested to me to try making a time tracker program that will track how long a window is actively being used and keep windows from the same .exe file grouped together. Things have been going good so far, but I am having trouble with the GetModuleFileNameEx command.
According to MSDN if GetModuleFileNameEx succeeds it should return the length of the path name; however, when I output the return value of GetModuleFileNameEx, it is just a random long number that changes with every tick of the timer. Also when i try to output the path of the open window just to see what is being stored there, it is blank. I have googled and surfed the net for but to no avail. I was curious if someone here might have an answer for me Here is the code I am having trouble with:

I have a field displaying on a datagrid that the user has asked to be variable length based on the data that is returned. Is there an easy way to determine how many characters are returned for a field and then converting that to a pixel length so that I can change the length of the field in the code.

I have a TCP connection set up and I know how much data is coming in etc. I was wondering if there was a direct way to measure the current bit rate or a best practice to measure it accurately, say over a couple of seconds?

get sample code by using NI-6009 to measure voltage(Vrms) and Curent (Irms) . Before this i'm trying to make code with using example in National Instrument VB2010.But i still can't display the right values of voltage(Vrms) and Current (Irms) from waveform that I used.The data comes from data acquisition grid in source array i used to plot sinus waveform.But the problem is I don't know how to measure voltage(Vrms) and Curent (Irms) from that waveform. I am also don't know how to start programming between NI-6009 DAQ Card and Visual Basic 2010 Express.

I have a VB.NET application that executes a test when the user clicks a "Start" button. The application communicates back and forth with a USB device and eventually stops when the USB device sends back a specific trigger, or if the user chooses to cancel the test. I would like to measure the time elapsed during each test and display it to the screen.The program is significantly complex and I have several timers that control sampling rate, the frequency of the output, the frequency of signals in a calibration method, etc.I tried two approaches so far, both of which led to invalid time measurements. I say they're invalid because I used several stopwatches I know to be accurate in addition to the system clock (the clock with a second hand that pops up when you double click the time in the bottom right hand corner of Windows XP) to measure the actual time of each test. Consistently, my program will indicate more time has passed than actually has.I tried simply dividing the number of samples I took by the the sampling frequency. I got back a time that was about 1.33 times greater than the actual time. This ratio would change with different frequencies, and even with the same frequency from day to day.
I tried using the DateTimePicker in my main form to measure the time passage. At the start of the test I'd record the start time, startTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, at the end of the test I'd record the end time, endTime = DateAndTimePicker1.value, and then I'd set the text of a label equal to their difference, TestDurationLabel.text = (endTime - startTime).ToString. I initialized startTime and endTime as Dates. I get back a time that is about 1.2 times greater than the actual time.

As I've noted in another thread I'm trying to put together a secured kiosk app for access to our college library catalogue.I've managed to do most of the stuff with little fuss but, given that I'm not much of a programmer, I'm having a bit of trouble with certain features I'd like to incorporate.One of them is that I'd like the webbrowser control to return to the components designated homepage after 5 minutes of inactivity.

Well an alternative way is by just showing the connection speed which is:
Dim AllNetConn() As NetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces
Dim IntConnSpeed As Integer = AllNetConn(0).Speed / 1024
Dim StrConnSpeed As String = IntConnSpeed & " Kbps"
[Code]....
But i need something more specific like the download/upload speed.. I know that i could make my program download a file with the size of 100kb and measure how much time it took to download but i dont know how to measure the time...

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I would like to add mic input into my application.
I am thinking of having text boxes in a vertical row. When the user speaks into the microphone the text boxes will be filled according sound level.
I could find anything that does this using the .Net framework.

I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]

I'm using VB.NET to connect to and parse data from an Analysis Services database.
The problem I'm having is while trying to find all Measure Groups that are related to a given Dimension. I've been digging through the API and it doesn't seem that Dimensions have any information on Measure Groups at all, but Measure Groups can contain Dimensions.
This makes it easy if I want to get a list of related Dimensions given a Measure Group(measureGroup.Dimensions), but what I'm looking for is the opposite.
The only thing I can think of is to loop through all the Measure Groups within the Cube and check if it contains a reference to the Dimension in question[code]...

I am writing some text in a control using Graphics.DrawString I need to measure the width of the drawn text in pixel.
I tried to mesure it using:
Graphics.MesureString
TextRenderer.MesureText
GetTextExtentPoint32A (API)
All these method of mesuring the string returns different values for the width, and they are all the wrong value They all mesure the narrow caracteres as "i" as being narrower then they realy are and the wide caractere as "W" as wider than they realy are What would the proper way to draw and/or mesure a string to get the right position on the screen where the text ends

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.

I like to make an console application to measure the time it takes to fully load a web page, what's the best approach to do that? The purpose of this small app is to monitor some pages in a website, in a predetermined interval, in order to be able to know beforehand if something is going wrong with the webserver or the database server. It would be nice to be able to measure the time it takes to fully load the the page (images, css, javascript, etc). I have some code but I is not measuring the fully page.
Dim sw As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest)
sw.Start()
Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
sw.Stop()
Dim timeToLoad As TimeSpan = sw.Elapsed

I need to read 10 images in 1 folder and do feature extraction onto 10 images.Does anyone can suggest any good edge detection by using C++ / VB.Net / C# language? After I can successfully detect the edge and write a new image file (in this case is generate 10 new edge detection filtered images, only black and white line image) within the same folder.Then lastly, I do not know any distance measurement able to calculate distance between each edge detection filtered-images (not the original image) and show the result in graph.How can read those images back and get the data of the edge?Keywords are edge detection and distance measurement.

I'm trying to measure the performance of seven sorting algorithms in a single VB 2008 program. I've tried using a Timer componend, the Stopwatch, and DateTime.Ticks but nothing works. The following simple code produces a result of about 500 (milliseconds), which is correct, but when I change 500 to 1000, I get a ridiculous result like 0 or 8.
