Serial IO - Build Inputs And Outputs Interface Board
Feb 20, 2009
I would like to build inputs and outputs interface board (if you have schematics for the hardware or where I could purchase such thing) I need 9 inputs and 8 outputs, 24 volte DC for the inputs and I want to build a form in visual basic that utilizes the serial port so for example when I press Button1_Click it will make output number 1 goes high in the board and when input 9 goes high in the board label9 or Button3 will change color in the form.
So basically the IO interface and the form will only be used to energize relays and monitor these relays. I am not worrying at this moment about if this input is high make this output high but if this is possible in visual basic currently running Visual Studio 2008 Express.

I will be using .Net to communicate with a small unit that outputs data via a serial port. I have used an application that monitors the data between an application and this little box. What I see is functions such as IRP_MJ_CREATE, IRP_MJ_READ, etc. At first I thought I needed to build functions and I would send these via the serial port (a novice thought) now I see that the above functions are part of the Windows Driver Kit. So is it true that I call these functions in my code and then the underlying drivers communicate to the serial port and the approppriate data is seen at the serial port. So for .Net (VB) I need to find and use the appropriate functions and communicate to the serial port.

Currently, I am using a VB.NET to generate an interface for the user to update parameter of a PCB board MCU. However, I found that some data might be having a problem while transmitting.
Previously, I am using a chrW() to change the transmit data before put into the MyRS232.Write(), however, some data have corrupted or changed while I transmit. The signal show the checksum is wrong while sending the set of data.
After I use an oscilloscope to check the signal transmitted. I found out that, when I sent the data is between &H80 to &H9F (&b 100* ****), the signal will change to &H3E (&b 0011 1111). Anyone have any idea why this happened? Now the temporary solution I found for this one is I use a chr() instead of chrW() for the data between &H80 to &H9F.

I am using another function ChrWt instead of Chr or ChrW only. I remember that, I change from Chr to ChrW because some data corrupt also while I sent using Chr only. Did anyone of you having this problem as well? Any suggestion instead of using another function?

I have built a USB interface card which transmits a binary value to the computer dependant on which inputs are active. For example, if inputs 1 & 2 are on, the output will be 3, likewise if inputs 1 & 3 are on, the output will be 5.My problem comes as I wish to get the binary integer into a format whereby I could have 16 checkboxes (one for each input), and 'check' the ones to which the inputs are on. For example, if inputs 1 & 2 are on, then checkboxes 1 & 2 will be selected, likewise if inputs 1 & 3 are on, then checkboxes 1 & 3 will be selected.The largest binary number that will be going to the computer is 65535.The only way I can think of doing this at present is to do the following a lot of times:

current version is 2008 I'm trying to build an application with a simple MENU. When the user clicks on a Menu Item i want the container to show some controls, now when the user clicks another Menu Item, the container needs to change and show other controls, and so on with every menu Item the user clicks, one at a time.
I thought of panels showing and hiding for every menu Item clicking, but that would use a lot of memory as ALL the controls would be created, some of them just not showing. I also though of an MDI application, but i dont want multiple forms (with the menu bar) opening inside one form. I just want the actual container of one form to change.

I am currently building a system in SQL Server 2005.
I have a table that holds information about certain insurance schemes such as overheads and other things. These values will change occasionally and currently I administer the database straight through the management Studio.
I would like to build a simple interface that will allow my colleagues to change these values by selecting the company in a dropdown and the current values will populate. They can then edit these values and submit them to the database.
Is this possible in the current Visual Studio supplied with SQL Server 2005 or do I need to get another product.

I'm doing a project and want to do a graphical interface using V. Studio 2010. I want to use VB.NET as a programming language.
- Do I have to add any software to define VB.net?
- What is the function that reads the data from the serial port?
- If I want to receive more than one type of data, and I want to put/read them in separate text boxes, what is the function to filter the incoming data?

I have a very strange thing going on...I got a lot the CheckErrorStatus (Int32) error...and so I started to dig into my created functions. At the end I found what gave that error and so I added a new breakpoint on both computers where I want to run it (one is the developping computer, the other is the clients computer).
Developping computer : Windows 7, VS2008, .NET Framework 3.5SP1
Clients computer: Windows XP SP3, VS2008, .NET Framework 3.5SP1
the code of the function is a follows:
[Code]...
how it can that with the same input this function gives 2 differents (of which one is fault) output?

I've got a little code that just reads and displays all the folders in a particular directory. What I want to happen though is for the program to pause 1 second after adding a new folder to the listbox. When I have Sleep(1000) it simply freezes completely.
Code:
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

I a program that you can store stocks in,such information as name of the stock, price of the stock when you purchased it and so forth.This is stored in a file that is read and can be changed.My button that displays the information is giving me some problems as I have it setup and it will read my original file but when I add files its not going to display the new files.I need a way to make it output to my list box the new files as well as the old ones.right now my listbox outputs 5 lines, and each line has 5 records now the amount of records per line will not change but the number of lines I have will.I cannot pre write lines for something that has not happened, and I am stumped on how to fix this problem..
I am still learning and new to code so for me to write code that writes other code seems like some fantasy out of the terminator so I am sure there are much much simpler ways to do this than that.I am guessing using a loop and a variable in my array than the actual number something a long the lines of csvData(i)However I am just not seeing what syntax to use and how I would go about putting this together... Never came across anythign like this in the past.[code]any thoughts for ways to attack this problem and the type of syntax that would have to be used?

I'm doing a school project with arrays and I want it so that I input a part number and it outputs a image, price, and name for the part. I need to accomplish this using the array. We've only ever done arrays where you input a part number and one thing comes back out, not multiple.

I've made some good progress with my first attempt at a program, but have hit another road block. I'm taking standard output (as a string) froma console CMD window (results of dsquery piped to dsget) and have found small rectangles in the output. I tried using Regex to clean the little bastards but it seems they are related to the _ (underscore), which I need to keep (to return 2000/NT logins). Odd thing is - when I copy the caharcter and paste it into VS2K10 Express it acts like a carrige return?Going to try using /U or /A CMD switch next..

I have a number of programs written in VB.NET 2010 that load and run on every computer I've tried them on. This week I replaced my mother board with an IBM mother board using a Pentium 4 running Windows XP Pro. I install the programs but as soon as they start to run, they immediately shut down. If I run them in Visual Studio 2010, they run fine.
