Setting Up A Ticker To Test For Connections While It Is Running
Apr 2, 2009
I've been developing an add-in for outlook for quite some time, and recently have been developing a method testing the connection to the database and server when launching - as well as setting up a ticker to test for the connections while it is running.The connection for the server works fine, but the database connection test does not. Originally I didn't set a timeout for the connection, and so it was very slow and the ticker would break down (as it would still be testing for a connection when the next ticker started) However Now I have set a timeout of 5 seconds, it ALWAYS says the database is connected. [code] I suspect that it opens and closes the connection 'successfully' (i.e. doesn't throw an error when it timesout of the 5 seconds?) But I can't imagine why that would be the case. Can anyone help so that if the TestCon timesout, it returns false?

I have a class that creates a ticker whose tick event checks somes stuff for me. If I instantiate the object and call the methods it works just fine. however if I create a new thread and call the function then the tick event doesnt get called for some reason.
Calling the object/creating thread:
Dim checkObj = New checkOutLook
checkObj.delForm = Me
[Code].....
why it would have problems handling an even tick on a separate thread? I even added a MessageBox output in the ticker to be able to check that its working properly

I've been trying several methods to simulate a scrolling news ticker on an application. There is a lot of activity within the program, so I need to keep the ticker on a seperate thread.I have made a timer which when a tick is hit (in this case, every 100ms), executes a sub which removes one character from a label to simulate the ticker. This works quite well, although when the program does something else the ticker freezes up momentarily. I am wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best way to eliminate these freeze ups? How could I execute a new thread every 100ms to move the ticker? I was thinking of somehow using a threadpool for each time the a tick is hit on the timer, but I'm not sure how, or even if this can be accomplished.

Is there a way to create a setting while program is running?For example, have a textbox in which the user will give the name of the setting
and a combobox with 3 items: String, integer, Boolean.But these settings have to stay until you open the program again.

Probably a dumb question, but can you write a unit test project in one language to test against another project in a different language?I'd like to translate one of our VB assemblies into C#, but want to build unit tests to verify the results. I've tried to set a unit test project up to do this, but I can't seem to access the VB code within a unit test... I can't figure out if I'm just missing/doing something stupid, or it really isn't allowed.

In our projects we use setting variables to store user setting for the applications. Moreover, with every latest version of the applications, we upgrade these variables to retain user settings.Normally, this works fine, but recently one of my end user reported an error i.e.Configuration System failed to initialize". The error is related to user.config file. Therefore we requested the user to send us his file.After received the folder, we noticed that it contains 3 files (3begfjb.newcfg,3begfjb.tmp and user. config). 3begfjb.tmp is an empty file, while 3begfjb.newcfg and user.config are identical files. We tried to open these files but the data in user.config isn't proper xml rather its unreadable formatted file.Do any you guys had experienced this sort of issue or any ideas how and what may have created these files and corrupted user.config file.

I searched araound and having some difficulties in implementing one scenario with SQL Server 2000 and sybase.I have two SQL servers on different locations naming ServerA (MSSQL Server) and ServerB (Sybase server).I have a table called SALARY.Whenever I insert one record to customer SALARY in ServerA, I also will insert it into ServerB.If should any of them failed, both of them should be rolled back.I am using Asp .Net with VB for the programming.I do not have the right to change / add table in Server B. The only thing allowed in Server B is insert/delete/update record.I looked around and find a method to use TransactionScope but I am not quite sure it is the right way to do.url...

I am developing an Application that uses TCP To listen for connections, and then when a message is sent to the server and then it alerts the IP that is running the server. (Lets say the server is on a iPhone, and some how the iPhone gets a text message, which alerts a tcp server running in the background via a .jar, it would send the owner of the iPhone a message on the computer telling it it has a text. This is just an example though, but I think it gets the general idea across. I've been trying to do this, and I can connect to a TCP Server (using 127.0.0.1:8888 for testing purposes, will move to a solid IP and Port later). I can start the server (its still buggy and under development) but i don't know how to connect to the server via an application, and when a certain message is received to alert the IP Running the server.
My Server Code is:
Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(8888)
Dim clientSocket As TcpClient
Dim infiniteCounter As Integer
Dim counter As Integer
serverSocket.Start()
[Code] .....
Now I know that to connect you'd do something like
Code:
Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream
clientSocket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888)
serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
And I know I would have to use some sort of Byte() method to send/receive messages, but I am at a loss on how to set it all up.

I need to download a bunch of pages from a web server, ie. spidering. I know that servers are typically configured to only allow a couple of concurrent connections from a given IP, but that would already halve the total time to run the script instead of downloading one page at a time.

I have a Visual Studio 2008-SQL Server 2005 app that will be throwing alot at it. It's my testbed learning app. I'm also a student of this craft(43 years young) like another poster posted on another thread. I come from a PICK/BASIC jBase background. Anyway as-is my app has a connection to the database that is opened on form load. I close the connection on form close. It's a one form app currently. Is this wrong? It seems that maybe I should not have a connection opened possibly all day. I'm looking into incorporating Datasets, dataAdapters into my next phase of evolution. I looked at the material and it's tough. For me anyway. But I will get into it. I will fetch the data into a dataset so that I can keep the connection open only for a little while. I was turned on to this "keep the connection just as long as you need it" idea from someth

The current project that I'm working on is mainly employing a database back-end, and I have a few questions regarding database connections in .Net, before I actually convert.
For VB6, I connect to my databases using ADODB connections and recordsets in code only, and not by binding controls. I perform my queries using SQL statements..For differentations in the type of database, such as connecting to a MySql, a MsSql, or an access database, it was mainly the connection string that had to be changed.. and ofcourse installing the drivers.
Now for VB.Net, I believe this can be done using the System.Data assembly. While looking into it, I've seen that it has a lot of members, such as System.Data.Odbc, System.Data.OleDb, System.Data.SqlClient.
My question is, what is the main difference between those namespaces (just briefly)? I would like to generally understand the main differences before I start with anything. I have also heard about LINQ. It looked very alien to me in the MSDN library. (PS: what's the deal with Ado.Net?)

i'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for ppt.
ok i'm going to delete the other thread. i'm going to rephrase and try to explain as clearly as possible.
I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.

Im making a small servermanager for a game. I have a list of players with their IP's that are currently connected to the the whole game. I want to find out what IP's are connected to a certain process so I can match these with the list of players and then add the players that are in the server hosted by this servermanager, into the playerlist.Adding players to that list and looking them up for a matching IP already works. I just cant figure out how to find all the IP's that are connected to a certain process.
