Recreate A Program That GeekSquad Uses Called The MRI For A Friend?
Jun 10, 2011
I'm playing around with VB.NET once again since college and I'm trying to recreate a program that GeekSquad uses called the MRI for a friend.Upon doing so, I have run into a few snags. The must present one is once I publish my application to a particular spot that also includes already setup folders with portable apps setup in them. I want to use Process.Start("App Path") where App Path is the drive letter of where the Custom Program exe is located and calling file Test1.exe in the test1 folder in the root.

I can think of the following tricks:
Read only wrapper - like ReadOnlyCollection. The friend keeps the pointer to the modifiable object, while everyone else can access only the wrapper.Write delegate - the friend gives the constructor of the object a reference to a delegate as one of the parameters, the constructor fills it with an address to a private method that can be used to modify the object.Reflection - obviously a bad idea. Included for completeness.Multiple assemblies - put your friends together in a separate assembly and set your modifier methods internal.Expose the modifiable object, but add comments to modifier methods "This is an infrastructure method - don't call it!"Nested classes.[code]...

As far as c/c++ is concerned ,friend functions are defined outside the classes and they are accessed without object name.But in vb.net how can i create friend functions like that ? Is the concept same here or its bit different than what was in c/c++ ?

First of all let me say that while I was knowledgeable enough to create my program using VB-10 express I am by no means fluent in 'programming' speak .. so if you choose to help me please don't use technical jargon.. just explain as if you are talking to a 6 year old ..
Anyways I would like to give my program to some friends either by Email or via the internet (I have a website [url] (it is a wordpress blog) but I have no clue as to how I would get it onto my site.
I have attempted to Email the files .. first I had to change the file extension because Email would not send an .EXE file.. Then I tried to ZIP the files and send them via WINZIP but my recipients kept getting 'unable to open file' messages.

I recently found an awesome tool called "Freemind" that is called a 'mind mapping' program. It's similar to MS Visio but way cooler and more automated.I reeeallly would like to integrate this into a VB.net Form, but how?
Has anyone seen or heard of mind mapping inside VB.net before? Are there programs out there already that work with VB.net or anyone have an example they have seen / built that works?

I've been reading about access modifiers in VB.Net lately, and there is something that I can't really understand: How do elements in a Class (or Module) inherit the modifiers of their enclosing block?For example, suppose you have a Friend class Bla in an assembly, with a public method Foo:
Friend Class Bla
Public Sub Foo
(...)
End Class
Does it behave differently than when Foo is set to Friend?
Friend Class Bla
Friend Sub Foo
(...)
End Class

I have an event callback that I created to respond to the value change of a numeric control. For some reason this sub is called event before my first Frm_Load submethod is called. Grrrr...why is this sub being called first before anything else?? The event passed appears to be "Empty".

I have a function to pull data from a XML, and to report a specific number based on a value in one of the elements in the XML. Unfortuntately, I can't get any break points to work, so I've been debugging with a trace.he strange this is that when i take out the function itself it works like it should, otherwise the Service freezes when it gets to the function and never uses it. I'm calling the function in while loop which is also within a Try Statement, here's example of the code.
Public
Shared Function GetXNumber(ByVal
audit As Audit.API)

I'm writing a program and have run into a bit of a snag. I have the code perform a button click on certain buttons, the reason for this is I have a bunch of buttons that each do something and one that does everything automatically. I suppose I could rewrite everything under that one button but that would essentially double the size of my program, I could use an if statement to catch the fact that the program is in automatic mode but that would be about 15 conditions (not looking forward to writing that statement ;p)
Clicking the buttons is a nice simple, clean solution. The exception being the program performs the click then continues on executing the rest of the code in the actually clicked button while at the same time executing the code called by the code click. Main problem with this is the data that needs to be populated by the code click isn't being populated fast enough for the code in the main button so then there is errors, blank data, program doing nothing. A simple sw timer to delay could work (I know how to make one of those) but the problem with that is the program is executing against a webpage and if the webpage takes a few seconds longer to load then anticipated everything is out of wack again. I'm looking for a simplish way to cause the program to wait for ALL code called by any raised event to finish before proceeding.
i.e. Call Button.clickEvent > Wait for code and subroutines executed by Button.clickEvent to finish > continue with rest of code in button.
Below is the code I'm using so far for the user clicked button.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Button4.PerformClick()
'Need to wait for all code executed by Button4 and anything it calls to finish
x = 0

I've created a class that manages two threads for reading from the stdout and stderr streams of a child process. The class is working fine now by pausing the threads when they aren't needed by calling Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite), but I have a question about resource usage...
Does it make more sense to allow the threads to finish execution and recreate them when needed or to just sleep them and then wake the threads up via Thread.Interrupt when needed?

I am making a Kiosk system and would like to recreate the Windows Taskbar in VB.NET, specifically the window management features of the taskbar: displaying open windows, switching between windows, and highlighting which window has focus. if the taskbar had the same positioning properties as the Windows Taskbar, in that even when other windows had focus the taskbar would still have focus and would not taking focus away from windows on the screen, and maximized windows would not maximize over the taskbar.

i was wondering if it possible to have a condition where lets say you have a column in the datatable called amount and a textbox acting as the filter called say maxamount to set it so the rowfilter when filtering the table will sum the number in the amount column until the number in maxamount is met, then stop and only return the rows where the total sum of the amount column is equal or less than the maxamount value, so i guess if the next row takes us over the maxamount it discards this row and returns the rows previous to it. is this possible using datagridview rowfilter or should i be loooking elsewhere to achieve this?

I have a form called FrmPracDetails which is built up with a List view called LvwColProc. Therefore when you click a field on the LvwColProc it takes you to another form called FrmColProcessing, here you can make changes to certain fields which are also present on FrmPracDetails. What I want to do is when you make changes on FrmColProcesing and Click the Save Button (which calls the Save function)the changes appear instantly on FrmPracDetails. Please note, FrmColProcessing will always be open next to FrmPracDetails. I have tried to put this code in the Save function present in FrmCol Processing as shown below, but it doesnt Refresh FrmPracDetails form. [code]

i'm creating a program called Workshop Selector. It has 3 list boxes, one with the 5 workshops, second with 6 locations, and the final is the list of costs. The user selects a workshop, a location, then hits the Add Workshop button, which calculates the costs and adds the cost to the third listbox. Soo, to my question.
There is an additional button called Calculate Total that adds the values of the costs in the cost listbox and displays the total in a textbox. The code i currently have that works just fine is --
Dim one, two, three, four, five, total As Integer
lbCost.SelectedIndex = 0
one = CInt(lbCost.SelectedItem.ToString)
lbCost.SelectedIndex = 1
two = CInt(lbCost.SelectedItem.ToString)
etc..etc..
total = one + two + three + four + five
tbxTotal.text = total
While this works, i have no idea of knowing how many times the user will add a cost to the cost listbox. therefore id have to make many many variables, and other issues occur.So is there a way i can do this with a for loop? declare a global variable like
Dim costcounter as integer
then at the end of the add workshop cost btn click procedure use:
costcounter = costcounter + 1
That way i kno the exact amount of times the person added a cost?
Then create a for loop like
Dim intcount As Integer
For intcount = 1 To costcounter
code....
Next
Would this work somehow? but what code would i have to input within the for loop to scan each selected index, and then return values that can be added together and displayed in a textbox?

I have the following line of code in my program:
JCL_History.Enqueue(JCL_History(I))
This JCL_History object is basically a Generic.List encapsulated in a wrapper and has the following method:
Public Sub Enqueue(ByRef value As String)
If Members.Contains(value) Then
Me.RemoveAt(Members.IndexOf(value))
[Code].....
In my testing I have 2 items in this JCL_History list. When I call that first line of code I posted (the one that invokes Enqueue) with I = 1 I expect the first item to be shuffled to the bottom and the second item to be shuffled to the top.
After the thread returns from Enqueue I notice that this is exactly what happens to my list, HOWEVER if I hit the "step_in" button after the execution of Enqueue I go into the Default Property's set method where Index = 1 and value = and it screws everything up, because the item that got shuffled to the end (index 1) gets overwritten by the item value shuffled to the top.
So basically the set method on the default property is getting called at what I think to be a completely ridiculous time. What gives? By the way I'm running VS2005 on XP.

I have been developing a calculator for complex math. (Much more complicated than +,-,/,*, and above your usual scientific calculator)Its works quite well .In past programs I have used "private functions". I know that you give them a value and it returns on back. But what if you dont want to recive or send value? My example for this is a function I am attempting to make called "Autopi".The idea of Autopi is that whenever a mathimatical operation is about to be performed textbox(s) are cheked to see if they contain pi. (3.14 or 3.141) If they test positive Autopi will continue pi to however many places have been specifyed in the program. (Currently 300 places just beacuse i can :) Before the Autopi function does this it chekes to see if variable "pi" = 1. If it does it proceeds if it doesent its job is done
How would I create a code that can be called apon to activate but not recive or send any information through the program.And just to clarify what I mean by that is it will read information out of a textbox and write into it. But it wont actualy recive anything or send anything back from where it was called apon.

Can you look at my coding and let me know what I'm missing or doing wrong?I have a SSRS report that is called from a ReportViewer control and the ProcessingMode for this control is Remote. The report also has 1 parameter in it's DataSet.In the code I placed a MsgBox to make sure the code is finding the parameter and returning the parameter name. I am trying to stick the value of 10 into the parameter for playerID 10. Data for this player does exist.
I believe I need to add some more code to make this work but I'm not sure what else to add.
When the code executes the report is displayed but no data is shown in the report.

Who knows, why in vb.net WinForm projects the designer by default use the Friend WithEvents attributes and in C# - private ones.
By ex, in a form.designer.
.cs
private Label Label1;
.vb
Friend WithEvents Label1 as Label;
For WithEvents is more or less clear(for using Handles, apparently). But why Friend in VB and private in C#...
