View 1 RepliesI have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

I created a program in MS Visual Web Developer 2010. It has a form that simply launches a script that manipulates a database. The project lives in several files and they are all inherited so they see each other and it accesses a MSSQL Express DB on one of our servers.
When I F5-Run the project locally on my PC it works fabulously. When I copy it to a web-enabled (application) folder on the server it executes but almost my very first line of code fails with this error[code]...

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to convert an ancient cash register program to .net. Conquered everything else, but I can't pop open the cash register. Its connected to COM1, you are supposed to send a "trigger" text down COM1 that will cause the register to open.
Here is the .net code.
MsgBox("Opening Drawer")
Dim port As System.IO.Ports.SerialPort
port = New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("Com1")
port.PortName = "COM1"
port.BaudRate = 9600
[Code] .....
I get msgboxes "Signal Sent", "Done Pop Drawer". It just won't pop. It's an MS-Cash Drawer (EP125KC). Definitely connected to COM1, definitely has power. Chr(65) is the old code used to pop drawer and it works:
Open drawerComPort For Output Access Write As #1
Print #1, Chr$(65); "A";
Close #1
The above code worked successfully. The root problem was caused by a reversed power cord (negative was on the wrong side).
point in the direction of figuring out how to register my program as the default email handler, and then how to make the program know where it is supposed to be sending email from the mailto: link etc.
View 7 RepliesI need to make a cash register program that uses an inputbox.
The outcome should be like this example[code]...
It should open a input box asking for the amount of each purchase and loop until all purchases have been entered
I am writing a program that sims a cash register. Everything works fine except VB will not compute subtraction. If I put a replace - with + everything works. What could be the cause of this?
Here is part of the

View 12 RepliesI created a program that has 11 threads running simultaneously.Each thread runs a stopwatch and measures the amount of time that passes between the Start and Stop.There is no code between the start and stop, so most often, the result is 0 milliseconds.I noticed that INITIALLY, after a few minutes, the program would slow and the output to the RichTextBox would become disjointed.So, every two minutes, I have a timer execute and end the threads and restart them all.This seemed to help, however, after about an hour and a half, the program becomes more sluggish, evident in the stopwatches recording more instances over 0 milliseconds.Does this have to do with 'garbage collection' and is that even possible in VB .NET (I thought C only had that), or perhaps memory management?

I wrote a simple auto login script to update my IP address on a certain website. Something really strange is happening now though. The first time I run the program, nothing happens. However, the second time I run the program, that instance will work fine. Then I look in task manager, and the first program is still running, using a whopping 50% of my CPU. I believe VB may be blocking off memory or something, as when two instances are running each is using around 25% of CPU. Then after the second one successfully completes, the first starts to use 50% again.
Here's my code below:
Option Strict Off
Public Class frmTest
Private Sub frmTest_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

FIRST = arguments checked against each other
SECOND = arguments checked against each other but are irregardless of the FIRST arguments.
If (FIRST and (FIRST or (FIRST and FIRST))) OR (SECOND or (SECOND or SECOND or (SECOND and (SECOND or SECOND)))) then As the program processes this line over a million times during the execution, only FIRST or SECOND section is needed during an execution, never both. How do I make the program use only the section that's needed for the current execution instead of checking every argument every time? Is there a way to turn a string into an argument list for an IF...THEN statement? [code]
I am creating a very simple game for a project. There is opportunity for bonus marks, and one thing I would like to do is be able to "save" the game. The only thing I need to do is save about 4 variables to be recalled the next time the program runs.
What is the best way to do this?
I have searched Google, and there are ways to link the program to an Access database, but that seams a little extreme. I tried seeing if you can make an XML file to hold them, but I can't really find any good information.
I have a complex form to allow the user to configure my app.
What's the best way to save the form state & reload when the program next runs.
I mean text he has entered in list boxes, the selected item of combo/list/radio, whether a checkbox is cheeked, etc
