Oct 7, 2009
I have experience in C++ programming, but never created gui with it so learning vb.net for some quick gui development. and i want to learn vb.net. I can't install visual basic express on computer cause i'm on shared computer and such huge install is not possible on that computer. So i picked up sharpdevelop. After searching most of the tutorial, i found out that most of tutorial written for visual studio IDE for vb and vb.net. I'm trying to learn vb.net in depth from command line to gui programs. Any good recommendation of tutorials, book ? I searched google but very few results so far. I'm looking for good learning tutorials that can help learn with sharpdevelop.any suggestion for tutorial and books that mentions sharpdevelop in their tutorial/guide ?
I probably confused memory usage issues with the UI sharing same thread as the processing (as pointed out by MusiGenesis below). However regarding the Memory usage. I am still not able to find VB.net specific syntax, although people have pointed out some great .Net and C# information below (and if I were more versed in those technologies, one could adapt to make work with VB.net).The general concepts are working fine, however I am having issues where the Mem Usage on Task Manager keeps growing as the program is used to load more and more files.On Startup, before doing anything, the VB application has 27,000 K.Once the file is parsed and even after I dispose of the File handle as well as the the data increases a lot. I strip out everything in the code and it still seems that memory in Mem Usage remains captured. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the Mem Usage is growing (i.e. sometimes it can grow by 20 mb when reading a 7mb file, however other times it does not increase at all, when reading a 3mb file). Sometimes, it appers to release some memory when the parsing is complete and other times it just holds.I have looked at .Net Memory Profiler and have not really been able to make heads or tails from that.I have read a lot on internet regarding Memory Management on .Net in General about Dispose and "Nothing" and DataSets, etc, however have not really found anything regarding VB.Net specifically.My General Question is: Are there any good tutorials/books/blogs/etc that show a more in depth tutorial on managing memory in a VB.Net application (i.e. how/when to dispose/close, etc), or does anyone have some specific tips from there experience.
I'm wondering if someone can point me towards a good article/tutorial explaining how to use the MVVM pattern in an WPF Application that uses WCF web services. My WPF client calls a service reference to get data objects that contain data from the database but from everything I've seen and read so far about MVVM I am still not clear on how to use MVVM to work with the data objects I am retrieving from the WCF services.
I'm working through the MVC Music Store in Visual Basic ([URL]), trying to convert things as I go. I'm heving trouble with some of the lambda expressions in the Views, however. Specifically, on page 53 when the Album editor template is used, I am not seeing my editor template when I use the following code:
ComboBox 1 ========= Contains Pre-Determined List of Leagues
[code]....
Is propogated with the contents from the database depending on what was chosen in ComboBox 1 and 2.For Example:If a person picked the "Premier League" and "Manchester United", ComboBox 3 would display the members of the Manchester United team. The user could then select a single member of that team and save him as their choice.
I'm using VB.NET and MSSQL 2005 to create an application. I was told I should rather use SQLite as I want my application to be a standalone one with embedded database. Can someone please provide me with a step to step tutorial on how to create a standalone application with an embedded database?
Form the main form, I call the class. Here is my code:
[code]...
When I call tg.Count from main form, the main form will become not responding. How to prevent my form from not responding. The user can access other menu rather than waiting for the result.
I'm constantly trying to improve my coding abilities. I'm trying to learn the ropes on using .NET Sockets but everything I'm finding it pretty cheesy and doesn't really go over the details of what each piece of the code is about.Can anyone point me to a great tutorial or site where I can get started?
I'm looking to get into some of the more advanced features of resharper tamplates. I know just enough to be dangerous by looking at some of the existing templates.
I have a very particular application I have developed. I want to create a second appideally in visual basic, that provides a tutorial/ guide on how to use my original app step by step.I imagine PowerPoint slide style images embedded in a simple window with forward & back controls.I have experience in java, C & VB. Ideally the app needs be be kept simple and written in VB. Can anyone recommend a starting point, or if any tutorials for such exist? I've had a search and nothing stands out.
As a measure of emergency I need to prepare a very simple ActiveX object to be used in Excel sheet and VBA.I'm not a hardcore programmer myself but I'm able to put together a code in VBA to get things done. I have no experience compiling ActiveX dll's in VB though.Could anyone point me to a simple tutorial on the web where I could learn steps how to do it in VB? (project type, setting up methods for the control, parameters for compiling the dll so it's recognized as an ActiveX.. etc)The ActiveX object will be very simple - it's a stopwatch:
1. displaying elapsing time, I have it done already in VB as a windows ap.
2. As an object it will be taking only 3 types of methods: start, stop, reset
3. it has to be a proper ActiveX, so I can use "insert ActiveX" in Excel to add it to the sheet and the code.
I guess I have to start with creating a 'class library' project, haven't I ?
I am looking for a tutorial for making reports with Visual Studio 2008. I have a VB.Net app using hard coded MySQL statements and variables from different parts of the program, mostly the server as I have the same app with options to connect to different servers with the same back end structure (different data unique). As far as i know I can not use data sets (I think thats the name for them) as that would mean one program for one location.
I am rather familiar with the ins and outs of VB.NET and Database Selects, Updates and Inserts. Not so good with Transactions. (Oracle, MSSQL)
for example, take a Billing System for a hardware store.I create a 'New Order' and select the Cash Customer I start adding items to this order. 1 Rake 1 Shovel Where do I store this information (temporarily) until the user hits 'SAVE'. Maybe the customer decides they don't want the items. Too expensive. I just EXIT. nothign to do.
Or - I open an existing order and make a bunch of changes. Where do I put these changes until the user hits SAVE. I am sure transactions might have something to do with this - or temporary somethings??? I just don't know and need some guidance.
I'm thinking of trying to learn VB 2008, and I was wondering if there's an online guide or tutorial to get going from the ground up - from the perspective of a former long-time VB6 user (makes it a bit easier to relate functions in VB 2008 and how they replace older functions in VB6)?
can anyone write a step by step tutorial on saving data on database (sql if possible)? i have already created a form without any functions, i also created a access file with table and queries equivalent to each txtbox and combobox(if that is needed incase)
the names of txtbox and combobox are(cbWhat, dtpDate, dtpFrom, dtpTo, cbWhere, cbCName, mtxtCN, txtLoc and txtEventDes).
I'm still learning the ropes in VB.NET and I'm currently up to a point in a current project where I would need to parse links on an html website once the information has been downloaded to the document completed section of my web browser.
I have a course work for which I have to make a (as advanced as possible) WYSIWYG web page editor in VB.NET (2010). It should have a visual editor with drag-drop support for several elements such as anchors, images, tables etc, and it should generate HTML based on that structure.
I don't know where to begin though. I have some experience with vb.net, I made a tabbed notepad vaguely following a tutorial, but I don't know how to make this drag-drop thingy in a richtextbox. I've searched for a tutorial, but most of them are just too simple, a text editor with browser control rendering the HTML.
[code]It says tht can not load the Report it says For Each myTableLogOnInfo As TableLogOnInfo In myTableLogOnInfos it does not controlled Null ReferenceException Why this tutorial code does not work?
I need a tab-like control for Asp website. This is a tutorial for AJAX Control Toolkit Tab Container. The code below is debugged successfully, but nothing is shown on browser.
