Share DDL's Shared Data Between 2 Applications?
Jun 25, 2011
I would like to know if it was possible to share data between several assemblies using the same DLL.
I'm not looking for a workaround using memory or disk files of some kind of pipes to do the job I just want to know if and how:
1 - I can run an App. referring to a DLL which contains a given shared data structure.
2 - Run another App. referring to the same DLL that will use the already loaded DLL and data instead of creating a new base instance.

I have two VB projects in one VS2010 solution. The first program brings in about 60 integers every few seconds from my PC's serial port. The second program, published via Click-Once and running on my customer's PC, needs to see that new data every two to five seconds.
Is there a simple and reliable way to accomplish this, staying with VB?

I want to build a main application that make the autentication process and store the loged user... Then use X and Y applications to ask the current user and depends of the user will have full access partial or none access to the app. In future a Z application could be created and will ask for the current user also. XYZ apps are lauched from Main app, when Main app is closed the others are closed and User ID data is cleared. Of course the main app will handle the log on/log off process.
- Store User ID in a Database is toooooo much for just do this
- Save the User ID in a local file like XML is a security problem
I tried to do a WCF Service but i think its not possible to send data and store in it.The other point is who to handle the instantation issue... each program will access to the same static data not create independent.

I have 5 websites running on same server and I have some sql tables that I access frequently. that was time consuming and by defining them shared I pumped them in memory. So my application is accessing those static data tables from memory quite efficiently.
But I realized I did a mistake and I occupied my memory unnecessarily while I keep same tables 5 times for each web application. Now I need to find the best way to share that table only 1 time. my options are;
1) using a local database - sql CE. my original sql database is on other server. so it makes the access slower but I can add a sql CE database(to be honest I never used it and dont know if it gives me anything) to access only these tables while they have static rows.
2) I read over forums that making a WCF using tcp binding. not sure if it will give me any advantage.
3) windows service: is it faster than wcf? programming is defiantly faster as i have experience with winservice but nor sure about performance.

I have three different web applications that I made in VS08 vb.net. Each application uses a class that i continue to update (MyClass.vb), other than using Vault to propogate changes, is it possible to create a class or dll and put it out on the webserver and have each web app call that class or dll?

just wanted to ask if it is possible to have different applications sharing the same session (i.e. database session)... i'm planning on creating a web-based application and a form-based application using asp.net for web and vb.net for forms but i need to have them share sessions since some global variables will be session based and also authentication to one application should also authenticate on the other.

I'm asking about the best way to get data from SQL Database with less than 1 sec. Really I need to know if iIused LINQ is the faster way or ADO.Net? How can I start with application like CITRIX that will be helpful to share this application after I got data. I mean any example to start create an application to share applications like citrix to share applications?

Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?

VB.net newbie question: I am writing a number of console applications, all of which need to use a set of common functions and subroutines that are compiled directly into the applications, not into a separate DLL.
I assume that each separate console application needs to be a separate project, and that the commonly used functions and subroutines need to be in a separate module, but how can such a module be shared between multiple projects so that only one copy of the shared module and its code is required, without creating a separate DLL?

Using: Visual Studio 2005.We are developing three different applications. We currently have 4 different modules that we all share among our applications. When a change is made to one of the modules, we must make changes to the other two modules.If it is possible, how do you (where do you) create a single location for one file to be shared among three different applications? Hopefully this will avoid the unnecessay task of changing a file three times.

We are about to have a situation where our application needs to accept/give data to another application. Both applications are residing on the same machine.Two approaches being talked about are using a local web service that will do this or using files that will be used to share all of this data.

I would like to know the best, or standard, way to accomplish real-time client updates in a small multi-user application using an access data table as a data source.Specifically, this application will be used by 3-4 people. It uses a datatable which is filled on form load and bound to a datagrid at design time. The datatable is stored on a shared drive. The data table on the shared drive is updated in two ways:
1) Users can update the datagrid which then updates the datatable on the shared drive via the data adapter's Update method.
2) A server application does some work on some text files, periodically updating the data table.
I need the clients to reflect the changes to the data table on the shared drive as closely to real-time as possible. I know that the data table stored in memory on the client is disconnected from the data table on the shared drive, so I must query again to get the updates.
1) Is there an alternvative model I can use which is connected, and which will automatically reflect the updates in the data table on the shared drive?
2) If not, what is the best way to check for changes in the data table (so I can know when to call the data adapter fill method)? I am planning to poll the drive for a change to the .mdb file, raise an event and then fill the data adapter when the event is triggered. I am using this method successfully now to check for changes to a text file in another application, and I know how to implement it?

I've used mutiple threads in a VB.NET program but I don't know if I did it right.I would like to start about 3 threads.Can they all use the same methods?Will a separate instance of each method automatically be created for each thread?If not, how do you make sure that the data within the method that is used by one thread is not used by another thread?I would like some data to be shared by all threads.How is data shared among threads?What is the protocol for changing the data and checking for changed data?Is there a good tutorial / website that explains how to handle methods and data when using multiple threads?

I have several Visual Studio Extensions (VSX) that I need to communicate with each other. (For instance activate features, share saved files, access project items from one to another.) I could utilize the registry but I have a very bad feeling about that. I was thinking of a commonly placed XML file but I'm afraid of not having the proper permissions to access it. sharing data between (live) extensions?

Quite a few threads on passing data from one form to another, but I'm struggling to work out how to share data between the two - back and forth.
For example:
Class1 is a class with 10 string properties
Form1 has 10 labels ("Label1", "Label2" etc) and a [Configure] button.
Form2 has 10 textboxes and a [Apply] button.
I want to load with Form1, and create an instance of Class1. Click the Configure button and load Form2, passing Class1. On Form2 I want to manually fill in the 10 textboxes and hit Apply. The Apply should update the Class1 instance and close the form.
Form1's Label controls should then be updated with the data from the Class1 instance.
I'm fine creating the forms and classes, as well as passing the class into Form2 with a custom Sub New(EmptyClass as Class1) constructor. This gets the empty class into Form2, but how can I get the populated class back to Form1?
As Form1 already exists I don't want to create a new instance with another custom Sub New(PopulatedClass as Class1)
It's also key to be able to use the Form2 multiple times, basically ending up with a Data class being displayed as part of Form1 but updated using Form2? (For example if the Class has already been created and populated with data when it's passed back to Form2 for the second time I would pre-load the Textboxes with the values already in the class).

I have 2 applications which we can call for example Client/Server.
I would like to exchange data between these applications but basically don't know which is the best route.
I have managed to speak to both applications using text files, but there must be a better way of doing this.

It works, when I make getBar methods public, but I don't want to expose these unneccessarily. Why I can't call private shared methods from a public one in the same class is over my head. I'm using .net framework 4.0 in a web application.

VB.NET 2010, .NET 4. I am working on an application for controlling an industrial machine composed of many devices attached to the computer. Most if it is reasonable straight forward, but I'm having trouble thinking about the RS-232 devices. One of the RS-232 devices is a fancy power supply with many functions. The ones that are relevant right now are voltage read, voltage write, current read, and current write. The design pattern I'm trying to implement is one in which each attached device is represented by an object that has methods for reading/writing etc and properties for things like COM port etc.
For this power supply, clearly the Port reference should be shared among the instances, so I have a base class (say, PowerSupply) with a Protected Shared Property Port As IO.Ports.SerialPort. Then I have a couple classes that inherit from this class, PowerSupplyVoltage and PowerSupplyCurrent that each define read/write methods and properties for holding the last read/written values. My issue is in parsing the response from the power supply using the Port.DataRecieved event on the shared SerialPort object. The protocol the power supply uses specifies what data it's sending in each response packet.
So, basically, it might say something equivalent to "The voltage is 100V" or "The current is 1A" or "The voltage has been set to 150V" etc. I'm trying to parse this in a shared function. Only during the parsing process would I determine which instance's read/written value to update. I can't access the read/written value properties of the instances from within the shared function. The best I could think of is creating some kind of PowerSupplyCommunicator object that would maintain references to PowerSupplyVoltage and PowerSupplyCurrent instances along with the shared Port and DataRecievedHandler functions.

use of the shared function, which returns a reference to a datatable to the calling code. While there a probably many debates as to the preferred use of ADO.NET objects, my question is about the Shared Method aspect. Note that the dataTable is declared within the Shared Function, so it seems to me you get a new one every time, yes?
Public Shared Function MyData() As DataTable
Dim ReturnData As New DataTable
