Private Taxi Hire System For Use By The Company Secretary?
Apr 2, 2010
i'm doing my last year computing project for A Level (using vb.net) and i just need a bit of advice on how to implement something.My system is basically a private taxi hire system for use by the company secretary. They add customers, new drivers, new bookings etc.Add the moment that is all basically coded, with connections to my database etc.
However i was advised that in order not to slip up i need to have a way by when making a booking if one driver is already booked up at the same time he/she is not available. Basically an intelligent booking system that takes into account cancellations, time clashes etc instead of just simply typing in details of a booking and clicking "save".
I want to learn by resolving a problem i have been having with my small car hire business.
I want to develop a system which will enable me manage the business efficiently, the solution should be able accessible to more than 1 users, on my LAN and i would also like to have a web reservation system.
How easy/difficult is this when using VB.Net and what things must i do at the onset to achieve my goal.
VB2005. In my application I am required to go to a website, collect info, and then display both the webpage and the info collected. For this I am using the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser component and have it working faily well. The only thing now is that in order to get to external websites the company requires us to login to the firewall proxy server. For example when I visit [URL] a login box pops-up for our firewall server [URL] and I sign in with ID 9999 and password "pass". I am trying to programatically do this with the WebBrowser by using the credentails but have not found any relevant examples. Is this possible with the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser component?
I'm making this program that opens the same forder in every pc but it identifies the pc name to do it.
Public Class cv7import Private Sub cv7import_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]...
but I want it to do it with the pc's name and I'm not sure how the environment.systemdirectory works, or even if it's the right one to use. Is it the right thing to use or is there a better solution.
tell me what is wrong with this calculation. I am fairly new to vb.net so i'm not particularly clued up! I am using it to calculate the total fare of taxi journeys.
I need to incorporate a private messaging system. I have done some research but do not know what to use. the system needs to be the following.
both a client and server
Be as instant as possible (not sure but if the server could push out the message to the client this would stop a lot of traffic from client software having to connect and check for messages when there is no to be collected).
Be able to work both over the local area network and the internet.
Be able to store messages and push them out to the user when the user comes back online.
I have a little VB 2005 Express app that acts as a gui for an application that normally runs in a cli (cmd-like) window, as follows: Code:Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Server_Exe As String = "C:Documents and SettingsColinDesktopin 7302OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe"
[Code]...
1. The cmd window normally shows various status messages in colour, whereas the RichTextBox shows all messages in Black (on a white background). How can I get the RichTextBox to show the messages in the same colours that the cmd window displays?
2. As the RichTextBox fills with data, filling the box, and beyond, and the scrollbar starts to shrink, I notice that the data at the top of the RichTextBox stays there, and you would have to scroll down to see the last status message, whereas I would like it to do the reverse, i.e the last status message is at the bottom of the visible RichTextBox, and if I wanted to see the earlier messages I would have to scroll up. How can this be achieved?
Private Sub FontToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FontToolStripMenuItem.Click Or Button1.Click
it just gives me zero for my anwser.Can someone please make corrections?Public Class Form1 Private Sub xExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xExitButton.Click
Why isn't this seemingly simple piece of code working?
Code: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load For Each sp As String In My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames ListBox1.Items.Add(sp) Next End Sub
I'm in college & in my part time I have been working on some automated web task apps. Just real basic stuff to automate my own personal account tasks on small social networks (not facebook!) to keep up with fan's for my 'soon to be' record label....nothing multiple accounts & it's not any kind of unsolicited spam functions. I know I could obtain most/if not all the info/code I need on this forum... I guess some people just need their hand held more than others, in order to stay focused.
Basically I've just got some things I'd like to add to my application that are above my ability & I need someone to help me out with my code. REALLY SIMPLE STUFF..like I've still yet to figure out for example:
1) How to simply pause between functions, as opposed to having to use a timer for each function. And using 1 timer to enable another timer...and so on in that fashion. Which becomes incredibly confusing & hard to edit after adding more than 3-4 timers reliant on each other LoL
2) Figuring out a way to not have to rely on 'webpage has finished loading' to move onto the next task. When many times on social networks, pages don't load properly, especially during peak hours, thus stopping the function of my web browser based application.
3) Implementing my application using a superior web browser framework. For example Gecko, or some other 3rd party browser that can perform simple tasks like filling forms, submitting them, clicking links/clicking javascript links.Right now using I.E. web browser, after my application has loaded about 75 web pages, it's using about 200mb of ram (from its initial 16mb) because of a memory leak in I.E. to which there is no solution (documented in several threads on this forum).Where in your opinion, would be a good place to look to hire a programmer/tutor for something like this? Because I am not looking for just code, but hands on, like on IM messenger/talk me through help too. I wonder if there is even a place offering services like that?
Does anybody know what site has independant ASP.Net consultants that are for hire on an hourly rate and can communicate via the internet? I only need this consultant for a couple hours. I cannot recall the site that I used previously where I would ask questions for a price and get the solutions.
if for example i have two private sub I declared a local variable on private sub a... is there a way that private sub b could use the variable created on private sub a? Im asking because im in a problem in my app were using global variable is not an option to make the long story short
Since a month, i'm working for a big company in France. They asked me to make a application manage their plannings. I devellopped something not so bad using their existant Access database and VB.net.The problem is that in a few months, the application will maybe be used by 70 workers while today only 10 use it.So i did a lot of researches, and i read that Access could not support more that 20 connection in the same time.Firts, is that true ? What do I risk with an Access database for 70 workers ?And then, what do you think of MySQL in my case ? The application won't be connect on internet, only on intranet. I took a very long time to connect my application to MySQL, but now i don't know how to connect the application in intranet.In fact i'm a bit lost with the choice of my SGDB.
I currently have an internal system that I need to link up to an API offered by a company. I am not looking for hand-holding on this, I really need to understand where and how to get started really.
Here is the developer resource for the API I am looking to work with:[URL]..Further, my systems are currently in ASP/ASP.NET & SQL, and I'm familiar with VB so I would rather stay that direction instead of C#.
I am getting this error when trying to connect to the database which comes with Sage Line 50. It doesn't matter what table i try to look at i get this error when i try to create a datagridview. The near 'COMPANY' bit is the name of the table not one of its fields. Is this going to be something wrong with the SAGE ODBC (wouldn't surprise me) or does something need changing?
I was wondering how I can set a file's properties? I'm talking about the fields, author, company etc. I found a way of doing it through Word's builtin properties. But it's a little buggy. So I was wondering if it's possible to do that in other ways?I have this code that works for all Word document files except *.doc format it seems.This is the code I have so far, one text box and one button. The button runs findDocLoop()[code]I know it can probably be done better, but I'm kinda in a hurry. I just noticed when I set a break point right after the code sets the value of the property. I set Word to be open, got in there and checked the property value. And it was actually set!. But after the save phaze, it seems to be lost. Or "reset" to some Office defaults.
Okay, so, for school i have a project i need to completely program by the end of next semester. My graduation project. And it needs to be a full-blown piece of software that would be theoreticly usable for a person or company.assignment was simple:make an application, usable by a person or company, that uses databases and VB.NET
so i started brainstorming and i came up with the following:a client-server application where the server runs on the company's mainframe and it's employees (seeing as it would be an IT company or another company that would use a lot of computer files) can upload to, and download files from, where each file would have a description and additional information (extension, date,emplyees would also be able to exchange private messages so that collegues of the uploader can be notifies that the file they would need is uploaded.
in addition to that there would be an administrator (or multiple) that can overview all PM's (make sure there's no abuse of the system) and administrate the files (delete/edit/...)So really, i have no idea where to begin building this application, so i would think that if i get the interface done, i atleast have an overview of what and how i would need to code.
note: wow now i think about it this seriously sounds more like a website than an application... but still it sounds like a good idea to me and has to be done or else i would not graduate
I am new bee in Visual basic and coding stuff. I am planning to create a knowledge base for my company. Can someone suggest me how to proceed. I have some ideas of creating it but really don't know how to move on.I already have some word files and pdf files where I have some troubleshooting steps and solutions, so i would like to create a search engine which searches the exact word file or a pdf file to show the result.
To make it simple just like google search engine. If I type something like "How to configure a network printer?" I should get the result of the word document or pdf file which has printer configuration steps.
I had developed a vb.net windows forms application for my company. It is working fine in our company. The database of that application is maintained in a separate server. I had direct connection to that database through sql connection in my application.Now one of our colleague wants that application to be installed in his laptop so that he can work on it when he is at home. How will I do that? The application will get installed but the problem is that the data won't get saved (as he won't be connected
I have a table adapter for a fairly sizable piece of data. Now with this data I would like to give the user the ability to change the company name and have this reflected in the form on the drop down list of all of the companies once they have clicked submit. However, in order to do so I currently "Fill" the entire table adapter again to achieve this.Is there any way which I could just re-fill the company column from the database in the same tablea dapter.Here is my code for the sub:
Dim NewName As String = txtNewName.Text Dim OldName As String = txtOldName.Text Dim FieldName As String = Me.Text[code]...
