View 2 RepliesIn a program I'm working on, I want a "Loading..." dialog to close when it can't log in to a site using the username and password provided by the user. Basically, I have the code set up right because the function it is supposed to carry out when that occurs does work, but for some reason it ends up in some really weird stuff happening. In the Loading form, I have it set to do "Form1.Show()" and then "Me.Close()", assuming it would simply show the login form and then close the Loading form. However, when this happens, the Loading form closes, and then for only an instant Form1 shows, and then the Loading form shows and Form1 closes. This happens forever until I stop the debugging, and I can't seem to figure out why. Am I using the wrong method? What exactly does Me.Close() do anyways? All I want to do is close the form and open another
View 5 RepliesI am running a simple test app that opens an OLEDB connection, retrieves a single value, then closes. The compiled (console) app works fine, but running it from the IDE causes either a silent close (if it's a winforms app) or a crash of vshost32.exe if it's a console app.

View 5 RepliesI'm developing a WinForms app in VB.NET, that handles sets of style data, and when the user clicks on another set's label, it prompts through a dialog "You are leaving this style preset to edit another one. keep changes on this one? [Yes] [No]".But, I'm facing the problem that, when the user clicks either option, and the dialog closes, everything has to be refreshed, and loading the form again seems a good option.[code]But as soon as that sub is called from the prompt, it crashes the application. (doesn't show an error in debug, simply crashes) How should I, from a given dialog, close the dialog, it's parent, and re-open it's parent? (which triggers all the Dialog_Load() code of the parent)

SQL connections confuse me sometimes In almost every SQL related code on the internet the routine is like this;
* Open connection
* Execute SQL command
* Close connection
Is it good practice to just open a connection when the application starts and use that connection until the application closes?I know that sequential connections are required when processing more queries, but what if I need to poll a certain Table every x seconds? Isn't is better to keep that single connection open for as long as the application is running (and re-open when a failure occurs) instead of opening a new connection every x seconds?

I am having issues with people not closing an important file in excel.I have a new vb.net based application that i want to close the excel file when i prompt it to. The application checks for specific named files in a hidden folder on a timer event, (that all works fine) how do i tell it to close a file that is already open.All threads i have read say things like this:

I am trying to give some user entertainment, and show a "please wait" window, with Marquee, during the loading of a separate complex Window. I am attempting to do this by loading the Window in a new thread, like this:
Public Function ShowPleaseWait() As System.Threading.Thread
Dim PleaseWait As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf LoadPleaseWait)
PleaseWait.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
[code]....
In the calling code, it calls ShowPleaseWait and saves the Thread for later.. To close the window, it calls Thread.Abort, on the saved thread. This in turn will causes it to enter the Catch. I have tried, many different ways, with and without the catch.This works incredibly, the first time it is called. However, additional calls will fail at window.Show() with the exception: The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it..This really puzzles me as the window was created one line above the call to window.Show and is local. How is it owned by a different thread? How can I fix this?
My cousin and I were discussing the difference between Java and VB.Net and I thought I would make a simple application to show him.
My form has two labels a numerical up and down component and a button.
I want to set it so when my cousin presses the button it will open and close his disk tray for the amount of time he chose using the numerical up and down.
I have tried making the program using a sample I have acquired but ti keeps throwing this error.
This is the error.

I have an application that has multiple forms. The "main" form within this application can be accessed from other forms. However, each time this "main" form is accessed throughout the application, a "new" instance is created, resulting in multiple instances of this form being open.
I would like to have "only" one instance of this form open at one time. If it is currently opened, I would like it to be brought to the forefront, instead of opening a new instance.
