Disable The Network Connection From .Net Without Needing Admin Priveledges?
Apr 2, 2010I may be SOL on this but I thought I would give throw it out for possible solutions.I am writing a computer access control service tcontrol my kids' computer use. Plan on open sourcing it when I have it working. It is written in VB.Net and needs to work on XP through 7.I am running into all sorts of security and desktop access issues on Windows 7.The service needs to run as admin to execute the NetSh command to disable the network. But I cannot interact with the desktop from the service so I IPC to a UI to handle other stuff, but I still cannot detect from the service if the desktop is locked. Argghh!
View 1 RepliesHow To Access A Page Thats Been Logged Into Through IE But Without Needing The Sloppy Methods
Sep 12, 2010There is a site that I go to that has a website chat thats located at the bottom of every page. It allows you to talk to specific people while you're online and they're online.
Sometimes when I get into a good conversation I don't want to end it. I still have other things to do though.I wanted to make a small window that I can just drag around that will allow me to chat with people easier.
I've set up pretty much everything in this program except the actual retrieving of the information from the site and the replying to the chat. I know I could do this (I've done similar things in the past) by putting an invisible webbrowser object off to the side and just run my stuff through there. But I think thats kind of sloppy.
I've read in some of my classes and books and have learned how to make simple web requests that return the results. In its case, I had to return definitions from google. I tried this on a recent project but found that it didn't the permission to access any kind of secured account whether it was logged in or not because it was "unsafe".
Does anybody know how to access a page thats been logged into through IE but without needing the sloppy methods I mentioned earlier?
IDE :: Opening Results In Form Check Out And Needing To Be Saved?
Mar 17, 2012I have a rather large VB.NET solution that has many forms. I am using Visual Studio 2010. When opening the solution one form will check out and produce an * putting in astate of needing to be saved as though I had made a change to the code or form. I have compared the code of all 3 files (.vb, .designer.vb, and .resx) to the source repository and I get they are identical, so basically nothing has changed. It does not appear to be harming the project in any way just aggravating and I was wondering
View 6 Replies.net - Using MS Access Database As A File Format For Desktop Application Needing Open / Save Type Functionality?
Oct 29, 2010This is probably a pretty novice design question. I'm trying to work my way through a number of requirements and give the users the experience they're looking for.I've written a tool that does big calcluation-type things. It currently consists of a class library and command line tool (separate .NET projects.) We're using an Access database format as the file type because it can keep all the various tables together in one file. A few other items about the application: There are not many users. There are no concerns with scalability. There are not great concerns with updates. Desktop is desired. Not web.Using VB and .NET 3.5 SP1
I now need to develop a GUI front end that will allow typical File/Open and File/Save type operations.Users expect that they can open a file, edit it some, then either choose to save it or close it unsaved without any changes being written back to the file. Saving it would obviously save all changes affecting all tables back to the file.
Does it then make sense to use a temp file for something like a proxy then? To, when a user "opens" a file, copy the source Access file to a local temp file and then use that for the editing session? Then, if the user "saves", copy the local temp file back to the source path?
Update: [tagged with ms-access tag too] Also, I omitted the fact that users would expect typical File / Save As functionality too. I think the design I've put in question in this post is what is traditionally called the Proxy design pattern. Has anyone tried this (successfully!) with Access database files before? Words of caution or advice?

View 12 RepliesGetting WPF DataGrid Selection Direction?
Jan 20, 2011I'm using SelectionMode as Extended (multi select) with WPF DataGrid.The SelectedIndex value always returns the first row that was selected, irrespective of the selection direction. For example, if I start at index 0 and end at 4, I can work with it fine. But if I start from 4 and go to 0, SelectedIndex returns 4 and I don't have a clue to add the number of selected cells or subtract.Is there a way to find the selection direction?

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Getting Started In The Right Direction?
Apr 5, 2011I have a project that needs to open a CSV file that is 3.7gb in size. It is data that was exported from a database (why on earth anyone would export it to ONE file, is beyond me)
Excel/Access can't open the file because it is more than 256 columns and greater than 65000+ rows. I was able to split the file into seperate files with 50,000 rows in each. I wan't to automate this and export only data by a specific state, and perhaps add it to a database or excel file, should the rows stay below the limit.
I found a project that splits the CSV file... perhaps I can just parse the data while splitting the file.

C++ - Direction Of Shortest Rotation Between Two Vectors
Jun 13, 2012my question is regarding working out the direction of the smallest angle between two vectors in 2D. I am making a game in C++ where one of the obstacles is a heat seeking missile launcher. I have it working by calculating the vector between the target and bullet, normalising the vector and then multiplying it by its speed. However, I am now coming back to this class to make it better. Instead of instantly locking onto the player I want it to only do so only when the bullets vector is within a certain angle (the angle between the bullets vector and the vector bulletloc->target). Otherwise I want it to slowly pan towards the target by a degrees thus giving the player enough space to avoid it. I have done all this (in a vb.net project so i could simplify the problem, work it out then re write in in C++). However the bullet always rotates clockwise towards the target even if the quickest route would be counter clockwise. So the problem is working out the direction to apply the rotation in so the smallest angle is covered. Here is my code so you can try and see what I am describing:
Function Rotate(ByVal a As Double, ByVal tp As Point, ByVal cp As Point, ByVal cv As Point)
'params a = angle, tp = target point, cp = current point, cv = current vector of bullet'
[Code]...
I had was to work out the bearing of the two vectors and if the difference is greater than 180 degrees, rotate clockwise otherwise rotate counter clockwise

May 21, 2009Total noobie when it comes to VB, but I'm jumping in. I have about 15 years with Business Basic and see many similar things between VB and BBx so hopefully the learning curve will not be to steep.
Anyway the project I wish to complete is: Use portable computers running Windows CE 5.0 to scan bar coded labels to capture data collected during a physical inventory. The labels have 2 fields - bin location and item. My form will have a textbox for 3 items - bin location, item and quantity. Also, the form will have 2 radio buttons to accept or reject entry. I plan on writing the records to a simple text file to import in to the current application I am running.
I downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2008 and have done a little prodding around so far. I know the Express version does not support mobile device application development so that needs to be upgraded. My question is, can someone recommend a good book that would cover the areas I need to be concerned with?
Also, any good online resources?
Customizing ContextMenuStrip Arrows And Open Direction?
Oct 14, 2010Trying to create a custom button to reside on the desktop at:
Me.Height = PictureBox1.Height
Me.Width = PictureBox1.Width
Me.Top = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Height - Me.Height
Me.Left = My.Computer.Screen.WorkingArea.Width - Me.Width
The trouble is all the arrows point to right, and the menus open variably depending on size.
Is there anyway to make the arrows point left and make all menus open to left in same direction?
Also, Is it possible to make the width of my form autoresize to the size of a label and the image box, while keeping the imagebox at the bottom right of the screen showing the populated label to the left?

View 4 RepliesMoving A Picturebox, Depending On The Direction Pressed?
Jun 19, 2011I don't know what exactly to call this. I am moving a picturebox, depending on the direction pressed. The thing is I have restrictions. I need the picture to move 32 pixels in whatever direction is pressed. The problem I want to remove is, if you hold a direction down, it goes much faster then I want it to.
Ultimately I would like to be able to hold down the key, have the image move slowly, and when I let go of the button I want it to stop moving. Again it HAS to move 32 pixels for each key press/hold.The best way I can describe it is like in a RPG on Nintendo when you're walking on the world map or town or something.

Draw Vertical Text To A Graphics Path In Down-up Direction?
Oct 8, 2009I have an application that makes a drawing with measurements both horisontal and vertical. I like to get the vertical measurements to be in direction down-up, not up-down direction as StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical does. All the measuretexts are drawn to a graphics path. Because that path includes all measures at different locations I canīt TransformRotate that path, the text should be rotated before it is passed to the graphics path, or ? It would be so nice if it would be a StringFormatFlags.DirectionVerticalUp to handle it.
