View 2 RepliesI'm calling unmanaged C++ Dll function from VB.Net project by usin dllimport attribute like this;
<DllImport("Injection.dll", CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.Cdecl)> _
Private Shared Sub Injector(ByRef Client As String, ByRef Dll As String)
End Sub
First of all; I'm completely new to VB.
Pass a string array from Visual Basic Express 2008 to unmanaged code in a Dll.The array is Dimmed as in DIM myArray(11) as String
I'm developing the dll myself using Powerbasic.
The dll expect a 4 bytes pointer to a safearray's handle. As far as I have understood it; the array's string elements must be passed in ANSI format. The code in the dll will then use OLE Api to get the LBound and Ubound of the array and the address of the first element in array.
I have written my own function, which in C would be declared like this, using standard Win32 calling conventions:int Thing( char * command, char * buffer, int * BufSize);I have the following amount of VB figured out, which should import the dll and call this function, wrapping it up to make it easy to call Thing("CommandHere",GetDataBackHere).UPDATE:This code is now a working solution, as shown here:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Updates: I got the code to build by following the help received here, and then I had forgot the As Return Type (which got me a MarshalDirectiveException PInvokeRestriction). Then I had an assertion failure inside my DLL, which lead to an SEHException. Once fixed, this works BEAUTIFULLY. There are newsgroups where people are saying this can not be done, that VB only loads managed dll assemblies (which I guess is the normal thing most VB users are used to).
In VS2010 I'm encountering a PInvokeStackImbalance error when I call an unmanaged C function that takes a string argument. This only happens in VS2010 (works fine in earlier versions of vs). I know the MDA is more strict in VS2010 but I can't seem to figure out what the actual problem is.

I am developping an app which talks across a network and will eventually be used to read in a text file (on the client) and transfer it to the server. Currently, the server and client succesfully connect to each other using the Tcplistener/Tcpclient classes. I am now trying to send some data across the network using the networkstream class, which I have implemented.Currently for testing purposes i am sending a char array which contains the characters "hello" which succesfully sends and outputs to console on the server. Although, "hello" is followed by a long list of whitespaces. I have tried converting this to a string array on the server and/or client and using the string.Trim() function (amongst trying many other things over the past couple of hours) although the output remains the same.

I have a string array Array1 and a string array A2. I want to combine these in a 3rd array A3 but excluding duplicate values. Can this be done through lambda expressions or only through iterating through the array and checking array.Contains()?
View 2 RepliesI have a string array of size 51 CardListIn() representing randomly ordered cards in a deck {1d, 2d, ...14c} e.g. 9d = 9 of diamonds and so on. I then have 52 text boxes for user input. These have been put into an array of text boxes as so:[code...]
I want to search my original string array for any cards the user may input in any of the textboxes and then delete those entries from the string array.So say the user enters "1d" in one of the textboxes, I then want that removed from the string array.
I'm parsing through both the array and the text boxes fine, but for some reason that I cannot fathom, it doesn't find a match. The string array definitely contains "1d" and the textbox definitely contains "1d", but it doesn't register as a match. I've tried using Val() for the string array and the text boxes, but then it removes every entry beginning with a 1, e.g. "1d", "1h", "1c" & "1s".

To use StringCollections instead of String Arrays for My.Settings. I've opened a file and have this:
CODE:
But I error on line 2, saying "Object Reference not set in Instance of an Object". So then, I try to use New before I go Into the loop: My.Settings.Trunk = New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
But then i get "index outside bounds of array" still on line 2. This is weird to me. Is it because my StringCollection doesn't have an array size? If so how do i declare an array size for this? Or is this just so totally different from String Arrays?

In VB6 I load a recordset containg all of the records (6 fields per record)in a table into an XArray and then manipulate the records in the array and then write them back to the original table. The array issorted by the first field (1 to maybe 8000 or more) I need to find records in the array by an ID field and then move them (because of some external criteria that happens many times) from say number 400 to number 375. Then all of the other records between 375 and 399 were renumbered up 1 to fill the gaps left by the move.
The XArray worked well as it could find and also move to a next record easily to facilitate the revisions to each record quickly. Everything is done in VB6 in code and nothing visual needs to be shown to the user until say 2000 of these external changes are complete. What is the best, most efficient way to do this in the .Net framework in VB2010. Datasets, Dataviews. tableadapters, arrays. enums ?
I am using VBNET2008 and SQL SERVER 2000.I tried to create this SQL string to retrieve CustomerID and a CustomerID and Name together but it's not working.Here are the SQL String that is not working.
Dim strsql As String = ""
strsql &= "Select CustomerID, "
strsql &= " ( CustomerID & " - " & CompanyName ) as [Companyname]"
strsql &= " From TestCustomers Order by CompanyName"
This is the error message"Conversion from string "Select CustomerID, CustomerID & " to type 'Double' is not valid.
Cause by this SQL String coding:
strsql &= " CustomerID & " - " & CompanyName as [Companyname]"

In my application I have many different forms each use 3 different database. And right now I am placing the connection string in each form but when it is need to change I have to change in every form. Now what I want to store all connection string in a vb class and call them in every form. So that if I need to change I can do in that class. I have stored my connection string in database so even I don't want to connect to database again and again. I have some idea in which maybe a public class is used and some how I will call it on other forms.
