View 7 RepliesWe are running on a Windows Client Platform (generally WinXP) in niche industry program that runs in a 640x480 window back to an AS/400 server. To reduce errors I want to watch for when the title bar of the program changes. Then I need to capture the keyboard entries to validate. I'll then make sure each of the entries is valid since the archaic program does no validation. I'll can then do a pop-up then warning the end-user if errors occur and to reduce/eliminate the exception reports.how can I capture the event of the application title bar change = 'string' that I need? API call? Aiming to do this in VB unless another would be notable cleaner.

View 8 RepliesIn my code I am trying to come up with the following messages using a try/catch Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error adn attemp to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.conversion from string """" to type 'integer' is not valid Warning Icon followed by 3 buttons one that saids the DETAILS, another for CONTINUE, and one for QUIT.Here is part of my code. I did use Try/catch correctly, but it doesnt say the message the way i described it above ..

I have a program in VB.Net that receives mails from Outlook, extracts attachments and inserts the attachments into a table through a query. I would like to put the query/queries in a Try/Catch block, but cannot do so as Outlook exceptions cannot be caught, and it gives me an error, and unless I put a very specific exception, I cannot catch it. Is there a workaround?
Edit:
Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Exception is underlined and when I hover on it, it says: "Catch cannot catch type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Exception' because it is not in 'System.Exception' or a class that inherits from 'System.Exception'". This is affecting all my other code which I'd like to put into a Try/Catch block.
The following code causes a "Warning" that Variable is used before value assigned.How do I restructure this Try/catch to eliminate error on the myreader.close command in the Catch part? Code appears to work fine but I dont like Warnings. [code]

View 6 RepliesI have this scenario: in a Sub I have a Try...Catch statement.Within that Try..Catch I call another sub.In that 2nd sub is also a Try...Catch.(see below for example).Now if an exception occurs in the 2nd sub's Try...Catch, which Catch gets excecuted? The 2nd one, the 1st one or both?
Private Sub sub1()

If I throw an exception from within a catch, does the finally (from the catch) still execute? i.e.

I have an assembly containing a number of classes. This is a class library type assembly, not a windows forms application. It's also single threaded.Is there a way to catch all un-handled exceptions so that I can log them?
View 2 RepliesI have a console application (VB.NET). When it is started, it spawns worker threads to find work in the database and do the task, then look for the next task (A workflow basically).
The problem that I have is that I have my Event Handler in the main thread that spawns the worker threads. Those workers, if they error, raise an event to a public delegate. However my main thread is not detecting these events, and I cannot figure out how to make it. My intention is to do all logging (text/database), email alerts, and restarting the worker to find another task that is not errored. (This will be expanded in the LogErrorMessage routine and such, for now I am just keeping it a simple Console.Writeline so that I can see if the method is being fired or not)
Here is the code around what I am trying to do:
Logger Class:
Public Delegate Sub LogDelegateError(ByVal Ex As Exception)
Public Class EventLogger
Public Event EventError As LogDelegateError

I need to catch log4net exceptions (its own exceptions not app exceptions logged by it). I wish there's a way of doing it this way: [code] I have this code implemented and there's no errors in compilation but i force log4net to have an error (pointing to a non existing database in the config file) and nothing is threw.I've tried the listener aproach: [code] and it's writing the errors to log4net.txt, the forced ones i mean.This last aproach has a couple of drawbacks: it won't append every error to the file, if the error is the same it doesn't write it, i can't get the listener to write every error to that file, only one (I don't know how to fully configure the trace listener, it might be that). Thus it won't append the date and hour to every line wich is a necesity for me. Finally i can't give structure to it (xml). Even if the listener work i need to use the try/catch aproach, since i'm using ExceptionHandling from Enterprise library to log the errors in my app.
View 1 RepliesI am using VB.NET 2005 to create a Windows forms application. I have a procedure named SendMail that creates an instance of Outlook.Application, to send an email from my application. I found the code on this forum, I think.The procedure works fine, but I can't use error handling with it.I call the procedure from a button click event. I put the procedure call in a try/catch block, and the application won't build, with the following error.

Have a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?

I have a project converted from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2010. It compiles and runs.
When I prune "unused references's from this project as listed by Visual Studio, the project fails to compile with the subject error message.
In particular one of the "unused refererences" is to "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll". The IDE does not allow me to add back this particular reference.
What do I need to add back as a referenceto get this items?
A few weeks back in reply to a thread, I said then that it's sometimes worse to use a Try/Catch when there's nothing in the Catch!There are exceptions to that I'm sure, but too often the Try/Catch is used with a blank Catch that makes even the developer scratch their heads when the program crashes because they have nothing to go on (by their own doing).DevExpress (and I'm a big fan of their stuff) has a little three minute video that encapsulates that concept well and I thought that you all might enjoy watching it:[URL]
View 1 RepliesI understand how try-catch works and how try-finally works, but I find myself using those (usually) in two completely different scenarios:
try-finally (or using in C# and VB) is mostly used around some medium-sized code block that uses some resource that needs to be disposed properly.
try-catch is mostly used either
around a single statement that can fail in a very specific way or (as a catch-all) at a very high level of the application, usually directly below some user interface action.
In my experience, cases where a try-catch-finally would be appropriate, i.e., where the block in which I want to catch some particular exception is exactly the same block in which I use some disposable resource, are extremely rare. Yet, the language designers of C#, VB and Java seem to consider this to be a highly common scenario; the VB designers even think about adding catch to using.
Or am I just overly pedantic with my restrictive use of try-catch?
EDIT: To clarify: My code usually looks like this (functions unrolled for clarity):
Try
do something
Aquire Resource (e.g. get DB connection)
Try
[Code]....
which just seems to make much more sense than putting any of the two catches on the same level as finally just to avoid indentation.
I couldn't find a way to catch the event when fn+ another key is pressed. I could only catch other keys and the alt, ctrl and shift key.
View 2 RepliesI have a SQLite database that I wish to read records from and execute a piece of code against each record.I am using a While loop with a Try Catch INSIDE it...Code is as follows:-
result = slcom.ExecuteReader()
'TODO: There is a problem with this while loop whereby if an ex is caught the connection
' to the database is closed.
While result.Read
[code]....
The problem is, once the Try block is entered and an ex is caught, the next iteration of the while loop fails, as it seems the minute an ex is caught the connection to the SQLite database is closed, eventhough the connection properties state that it is open.
I still looking for the answer, while I'm still trying this Visual Studio to develop some web app using VB.net language.

How can I catch this TypeInitializationException? Don't really care if it is C# or VB.NET code. Here is some sample code of what I am trying to figure out (this is not real code - just something to show what I am dealing with):

Public Shared testObj as Object = CreateObj()
Public Shared Function CreateObj() as Object
throw new Exception("Ha!")
[code]....
Suppose I have no control over CreateObj method.

I thought I could check Err.Number once I was out of the Try/Catch block but that doesn't work because apparently Err.Number exists within the Catch block after an exception is caught, but outside of the Catch block Err.Number is zero again.

View 8 RepliesI've written a DLL that contains a bunch of classes. One of my methods validates the contents of a file and throws any necessary exceptions based on invalid content - I'm using a standard "throw new exception." call the thing is, when my code reaches the line where the exception is thrown, my Visual Studio IDE hangs up on that line instead of the external call to my validate method.
[Code]...
So my IDE is actually pulling up the VB file that contains the DLL content and highlights the line in the ValidateFile instead of just hanging on the oFC.ValidateFile method line where the exception is thrown instead of the IDE hanging on the oFC.ValidateFile line in my calling application.
I just want user to have access to the any exceptions that are raised. Here if "C:FileThatDoesntExist.txt" file does not exist then Dll throw exception which should be catch through Application.ThreadException.. How to Catch exception from DLL ?
