View 1 RepliesI am a bit of a noobie with vb.net and I made this application that does a lot of http requests and stream reading. But when it does this it always freezes my application.So I did a little research and found that I could use background workers to solve this. But I have no idea where to start. So if you could look at my code and tell me where and how I can add background workers to prevent the freezing that would be awesome.[code]

View 3 RepliesI am making a program for me and I told my friend about it and they said that they would like to test it. The only problem is that they don't have VB2008, and there seems to be no way to compile my program so that another person WITHOUT VB can use it. Does anyone have any tips, or perhaps I'm missing something? Let me know ASAP

I'm looking into creating a program which will on program opening connect to a remote mysql database, download the data and store the data into a local file (keeping both in sync is the idea).
Getting a connection to the remote database is my first hurdle, and i'm not suceeding, i know i need to read through more info but if i could get this working it would help me tremendously.
I have attempted to connect using the mysql connector, using the server IP and port number ie. 199.002.999.000:3306 but it doesnt connect, it does connect locally ie. localhost but for some reason it won't connect to the remote server.
My other problem is that i cannot control the mysql server, i.e connections allowed remote etc, i think they're just enabled to accept connections from the server.
Is there a way to run a hidden browser script behind the scenes, download and run the file? I've tried looking for possible ways to acheive this, but have come up trumps so far.
I've got a program that downloads data from a mysql database via a XML file. I want to store this information locally. If I make a .mdb file could someone use this without have access on their machine?

View 4 RepliesI have a small problem with my application. When the system starts up, the program starts with it, but runs hidden (registry key with paremeter). The program also has a GUI.I want it so that when the user clicks the desktop icon, it does not start a second instance of the executable, but instead reveals the currently running background process. Is that possible?i.e. when the application is started with the "-startup" paremeter, it loads a hidden form2, and closes form1. When the desktop icon is clicked, it loads form1, while form2 remains hidden.
