Reading Xml To Variables?
Jul 6, 2010
I am fairly new to vb and have created an alarm program. I have figured out how to write an xml file saving my variables. I can only save one set of variables currently. I would like to save multiple alarms to the xml and read back the xml as a list of alarms that the program is processing. Can someone lead me in the direction to calling the xml a list of alarms and how to read them into variables
maybe if i save the alarms sorted by date and time I could process them as they expire.

Question 1: What is the difference between "Background Worker" and "Worker Pool" as indicated within the MSDN samples provided.
Question 2: I noticed while using, AddressOf _Function_, variables cannot be passed; what would be an efficient solution to this?
Question 3: While using multithreading is it required to invoke before setting variables, or only form properties?
Question 4: While using System.Net.Sockets is it safe/efficient to use Application.DoEvents while waiting for new data; or would be using a Do While loop be fine without DoEvents since the action would be multithreaded? Note: there can be up to 2000-3000 sockets in use at a time.

I have a program that saves encrypted data to a file and each variable is separated by a ";". I then read the file though this command:
[Code]...
It places all the encrypted data to a Rich Text Box. I need to decrypt the data and place into variables. How do I read each encrypted piece up to the ";" then decrypt, and place into a variable? I've seen streamreader examples but I don't want to use streamreader unless there is a way I can still get the OpenFileDialog view to be able to select the file location.

After getting the file name I create a new filestream and load all the bytes from the FileStream into a byte array, now I need to get certain bytes and store them in fields like the second 4 bytes are the time the file was created. When storing these in the variables should I store them as bytes or as string/integers/etc.
Or have I done it completely wrong?
EDIT:Should I be doing this way instead of a filestream?
Dim data() as Byte = File.ReadAllBytes(path1)

I've been using VBA quite a bit in the past to build userforms in Access, that used user-supplied data to custom-build sql statements on the fly, query data from a linked table, read that data into variables, perform calculations and spit out results onto the userform. Now I'm wanting to do some similar things in vb.net 2008.
I would use some code like this:
Set MyRecordset = New adodb.Recordset
MyRecordset.Open "SELECT * FROM Table1", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
MyRecordset.Filter = "ID = '" & Me.cmbAgentName.Value & "'"
With MyRecordset
[Code] .....
Whenever I try this, I get an error message along the lines of "Conversion from type 'Field' to type 'String' is not valid."

Last year (2010) I came across a FANTASTIC command that allowed me to take a string of variables with a common delimiter and break it all back out into separate variables (possibly an array) with one statement.
[Code]...
As long as the delimiter was a unique specifiable character, this one-statement command could break it out into elements. my memory and point me in the right direction.

I have code, shown below, that works all except for 1 thing: The variables being passed byRef get passed, but once modified in the else section of the "if me.invokerequired" code of RecordData, the variables are never updated in the calling function. To reiterate, the calling function does not receive the updated data that is in the variables custid and amt.When debugging, I see the data change in the else section of "if me.invokerequired", but once it returns from the callback the data is missing.[code]

I define some global variables of a class as follows:
Private Class MyClass
Private var1 as Decimal
Private list1 as List(Of string)[code].....
But I found that after this form is closed, all above variables, var1, list1, list2 still exist in memory. I thought they should be collected by gc since the form is already disposed as I confirmed.
Add: I have monitored half an hour after the form is closed. But these variables are not collected by gc. I have an automatic update procedure on the form which uses above variables.Since the above variables still hold values, the automatic update procedure is always called which causes exception. (One quick fix is to check if form.isDisposed in update procedure. But I do not think this is elegeant. Besides, these variables occupy memory.)

Does the memory used in declaring variables are reclaimed by the OS when these variables go out of scope?Does the memory used be released by setting thier value to nothing? if not, then how can I force the garbage collector to run or excecute at a certain/desired time..How about in Windows Forms..How can we make sure that the memory used in initializing and showing forms be released if those forms were closed?

I have a dictionary object (let's call it _do) I am using to cache some values for use in a multi-threaded program. I have a single controlling parent thread, with a timer function _doTimer() which can kick off child threads with a new instance of class MyThreadObject in each. My parent thread has _do as a property and with each time _doTimer() gets called, it may or may not repopulate _do depending on cacheflag settings. I pass a reference to _do to each instance of MyThreadObject and those threads at some point read the values of _do but DO NOT write to it.
What I want is to ensure that the child threads do not try and read _do whilst the parent thread is writing to it. Same thing but very slightly different -> I also don't want the parent thread to write to _do whilst the child threads are reading from it. However there is no problem with 1 child thread reading the values of _do at the same time as another child thread is reading the values - so ideally I do not want each child thread to completely lock out read access, only locking out Write access.. The code is roughly like this:

Is it in VB.NET possible to use variables without the need of use DIM? Now I have to use the variables like this:
dim a = 100
dim b = 50
dim c = a + b
I want to be able to use vars in this way:
a=100
b=50
c=a+b 'c contains 150
I think in VB6 and older VB this was possible, but I am not sure.

I have an ASP.NET application that I am developing. I'm using session variables within the app.In Firefox & Chrome, they all work.But in IE (ver 9), there's one variable that's not working. I'm not sure if it's a storage or a retrieval (or both) at this point. The variable in question that I'm storing is a List(T) type. It's the only one of it's kind that I'm using. Can't help but think there's a correlation there.One other old post mentioned the possibility that cache is causing the problem, but I didn't understand the answer very well.
Dim Rec_IDs As New List(Of String)
Rec_IDs = Session("Rec_IDs")
and
Dim Rec_IDs As New List(Of String)

I have a CSV file with 35 fields. I have to read it into 35 variables. i know I can read the line, split it, write 35 assignment statemens. I am looking for an easier way (because I am lazy).
I'm looking for something like ReadCsvFile (A1, A2, A3, A4...A35) that will read a line, split it, and make all the assignments.

We have a couple of applications at work that need a reference to the license server set in the User Variables under the Enviroment Variables on the windows xp client machines(system properties, Advanced, Enviroment Variables). The problem is that both applications needs a reference to the same variable name and you can't have two with the same name. What i intend to do is to create a simple windows application with a button for each application that deletes the variable item present, adds a new variable item with the value needed for that application to be able to run and then run the application itself. This is just a temporary fix until we get a more permanent solution. The 'GetEnvironmentVariable' class in vb is not able to add or delete a item, maybe the WIN32 API could do the job.

I have a structure type, as below
Code:
Public Structure StrFolder
Public isActive As Boolean
Public NameFolder As String[code]....
I would like to retrieve and print each variable name within a given structure (not its value). For example:
StrFolder(0).Name should print "isActive"
StrFolder(1).Name should print "NameFolder"
StrFolder(2).Name should print "URLIDNumber"
StrFolder(3).Name should print "DateOfFolder"
etc..
I would also like to know each type of an item within a structure. For example:
StrFolder(0).Type should print "Boolean"
StrFolder(1).Type should print "String"
StrFolder(2).Type should print "Integer"
StrFolder(3).Type should print "String"
etc..

We have these xml formatted .config files that come with all our ASP.NET programs. Well they have keys that need to be populated and I am unable to understand how to create a variable in xml and use it. The articles on variables in xml all seem to be talking about some other type of variable than I am familiar with. I am used to working in C or other programming languages.

Is there an easy way to rank variables. Currently I have to compare each one to each other then try to eliminate one. Is there an easy code.Say x y z are all numbers. To find the highest I have to
if x > y and x > z then ....
else y > x and y > z then....
else z > y and Z > x then...
this isnt' too bad with three variables, but if I have 10 or more it gets long... and then finding if x is first, finding what is the second highest is tough too
