I have two VB projects in one VS2010 solution. The first program brings in about 60 integers every few seconds from my PC's serial port. The second program, published via Click-Once and running on my customer's PC, needs to see that new data every two to five seconds.
Is there a simple and reliable way to accomplish this, staying with VB? WCF is way over my head.

We have a few applications that will be passing a token object around and I wanted to get an idea about the best approach at doing this.
For starters, this token object is somewhat simple. It would have about 5 properties or so.
Would we create a WCF app and reference it through a datacontract?What about serializing it and sending it through an http post? (each app have a referenced dll of the object)Querystring? (I truly don't think this would be good, but put it up nonetheless)?
I have a application that I would like to pass the company name to the other application?

View 4 RepliesJust started VB programming this week and have found a wealth of information about what I'm trying to do. Problem is, some of it is more complete than others.Here's what I'm trying to do:In Form1 (my main form), I want to instantiate a class that contains a couple of properties (speed setpoint and position setpoint). When I click a button, I want to pass this data to Form2 and populate two textboxes on Form2 with the properties of this object. I want to manipulate the property values on Form2 and click an OK button which closes the dialog and returns the manipulated data, updating the property values of the object. Here's the algorithm I'm following:1) On Form1, instantiate the class2) On Form1's "Pass Data" button click event handler, instantiate a Form2 object and invoke the ShowDialog method, passing the object as a parameter.
3) On Form2, overload the ShowDialog method to accept the object as a parameter and modify the method so that it returns the manipulated class data.4) On Form2, in the ShowDialog method, populate the textboxes with the class data that was passed in.Here's where I get stuck. If I press the OK button on Form2 (DialogResult.OK), it returns me to Form1, but what hook do I have in Form1 to receive the manipulated class data that the ShowDialog method is returning?Here's an example of what I'm thinking about:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim clsController1 As New MotionController

I'm sure it's probably a very elementary question, but every explanation I've found seems to be incomplete.
Does anyone out there have any experience programatically retreiving the lat/long from a GPS attached to a mobile PC?team I'm on is currently looking at hardware options--as the programmer who will eventually have to live with whatever is selected I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience writing .Net programs that interface with a GPS?
View 4 RepliesVisual Studio 2008 service pack 1 comes with Visual Basic Powerpack and has DataRepeatr control. i want to know that how I can add data in this control. i have in memory data. the examples i found on net are about binding DataSet to DataRepeater by fetching data from database. i want to bind in memory data. how to do this.
View 1 RepliesI have a form with a datarepeater that contains various controls (i.e. datetimepickers, text boxes, combobox) that are populated via a binding source. I also have other controls on the form that are not part of the data repeater. I would like to force validating all controls after the data is populated. I have successfully forced validating the non-datarepeater controls using Me.ValidateChildren() at the end of my load event. However, it does not fire the validating events for the controls within the data repeater. I have unsuccessfully tried many different attempts to set and move focus within the datarepeater controls trying to get the validating events kicked off. I am not sure where would be the best place (e.g. in drawItem? in ItemCloned?) to place the code and what it should be exactly.
Here was my latest attempt:
Private Sub DataRepeater1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeaterItemEventArgs) _
Handles DataRepeater1.DrawItem
For i = 0 To e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls.Count - 1
e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls.Item(i).Focus()
e.DataRepeaterItem.Controls.Item(0).Focus()
Next
I successfully handled the validating events in the data repeater caused by user input errors. However, I have the unusual situation that the data coming into my form is already bad for some of the controls. The purpose of the form is to validate the data coming in to it and from user-input. I am newbie with vb.net.
I am using VB.net to create a simple winform. I have the option to save the data I input on that form. I am trying to prevent the user not to save the data if textbox10 is empty. I tried the 'while' loop but I go into an infinite loop. The code is below. The 'if' statement gives the error but allows the user to save.
While Len(Me.techniciansTextBox.Text) = 0
MessageBox.Show("Please Enter a Technician To continue")
End While

I would like to know if it was possible to share data between several assemblies using the same DLL.
I'm not looking for a workaround using memory or disk files of some kind of pipes to do the job I just want to know if and how:
1 - I can run an App. referring to a DLL which contains a given shared data structure.
2 - Run another App. referring to the same DLL that will use the already loaded DLL and data instead of creating a new base instance.
I want to build a main application that make the autentication process and store the loged user... Then use X and Y applications to ask the current user and depends of the user will have full access partial or none access to the app. In future a Z application could be created and will ask for the current user also. XYZ apps are lauched from Main app, when Main app is closed the others are closed and User ID data is cleared. Of course the main app will handle the log on/log off process.
- Store User ID in a Database is toooooo much for just do this
- Save the User ID in a local file like XML is a security problem
I tried to do a WCF Service but i think its not possible to send data and store in it.The other point is who to handle the instantation issue... each program will access to the same static data not create independent.
I am trying to click on certain rows in a datagridview and have the information in the rows sent to a textbox. It does not append each row to the textbox though, which is what I want it to do. it just replaces it with the row I click on. What's wrong with my code. I have tried cell click too.

I�d like to pass data from my VB 2008 project to data fields set in Word. Can it be done and if so
View 10 RepliesI have started making applications that retrieve data from sql databases.
I write the database with Sql management studio then apply that database to my applicaton.
My question is, how can I make my applications more secure against hackers. Some applications store user names and passwords and personal information / finantial information and so on.
I have 5 websites running on same server and I have some sql tables that I access frequently. that was time consuming and by defining them shared I pumped them in memory. So my application is accessing those static data tables from memory quite efficiently.
But I realized I did a mistake and I occupied my memory unnecessarily while I keep same tables 5 times for each web application. Now I need to find the best way to share that table only 1 time. my options are;
1) using a local database - sql CE. my original sql database is on other server. so it makes the access slower but I can add a sql CE database(to be honest I never used it and dont know if it gives me anything) to access only these tables while they have static rows.
2) I read over forums that making a WCF using tcp binding. not sure if it will give me any advantage.
3) windows service: is it faster than wcf? programming is defiantly faster as i have experience with winservice but nor sure about performance.
When I try adding a new data source to my project I get a prompt saying "The connection you selected uses a local data file that is not part of the current project. Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?"This sounds rather obscure to me, as I'm new to VB.NET and programming non-script apps in general. The data source in this case is a .sdf SQL CE file.
Question 1: If I say that I want to copy the database to the project, what will happen after I compile the app, where the database will be? (how will I edit it from another app?)
Question 2: If I do not include it, how the data source will still keep linked? Can I link using filesystem enviroiment variables like %ProgramFiles%MyAppDir?
Question 3: Can I just tell it to use a read-only (Just needs to read it) data source on the web, like on an FTP?
I am having issues retrieving a class serialized in another application. If I put the code all in one application the set and get both work. If I separate the code into two applications the retrieval fails. Any thoughts on how to set the object to the clipboard in one app and get it back in a second one? [code]
View 3 RepliesI have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?)
The same amount of code still has to be written The new options of Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter seem confusing the same code is written programatically access the Database, all that changes is how that command is laid out. Why ADO.NET is 'better' than ADO with regards to data access when it comes to Windows Forms applications. What does ADO.NET provide that ADO does not? What does it do better than ADO? I'd like examples that do not involve LINQ.
I'm having difficulty figuring out how to run different programs with my VB program. Using Excel and other MS office programs is easy enough since I just add in the relevant COMs, but I can't for the life of me find out how to run other programs. I promise I spent many hours searching before bothering you kind folks here! I'd think this is a common issue so maybe I haven't been searching for the right thing.how to write code that will control and read data from applications.I know you can do "Process.Start" to open any application, and it looks like there are ways to determine the controls available on an open application, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is this possible? Or do I have to import a .dll file for every program I want to control? Or are both possible?
