I am using VB 2008 to develop apps working with Access. With this IDE I can compile my apps as x86 . Then runs fine under 64 bits Windows 7 and Vista Systems.
First question:but if I run this app under XP 64 bits, will run fine too?
second question:the apps developed with VB 2003 (these work with access too ..."jet oledb"). How I can compile as x86? I have not seen this option like VB2008.
it is possible to develope apps for the blackberry using Visual basic 08(or any version out there). I downloaded the Blackberry IDE but you need to know Java, and I don't have the time right know to attempt to learn another language.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to develop a converter of sorts, and I need it to always round up, however, math.ceiling is not working like I would like. The converter I'm trying to develop is a Canadian MMAR Calculator.Here is my code.
Public Class Form1
Private Property growtype As Object
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click[cod
For some reason, when the variable < .5 it rounds down, and when the variable is > .5 it rounds up, I thought math.ceiling always rounded to the highest nearest whole.The issue comes at growtype 2 and 3, this equation "(num1 * 365) / (250 * 1) * 1.3" where num1 = 18 returns 34.164, I want this to round up to 35.
At my company we build a lot of small, administrative type databases generally used by a dozen or less users. We have thus far done them entirely in Access. I've been doing VB forever and would like to write nicer, rich UI apps using a VB front-end to and Access database instead, as I find Access apps clumsy to use; VB apps look better and have more UI options.
I've started to play around with building Data Sources, Binding Sources, etc. and dropping them on forms, trying to create something useful with as little code as possible. I'm just wondering what folks generally think of using this approach. Remember this is for small, not complicated db apps with few users.
I know in the VB6 world bound controls took some heat for being not worth the effort it saved you.Also, is there a good book on the subject that concentrates on creating VB/Access apps with minimal code?
I'm not looking for a solution, rather I just want to know if this is possible or not with VB.NET (which I'm still just a beginner on).What I'm looking to develop is a WinForm application that allows users within the company network to share files and other information.

One of my clients wants me to integrate one of his small software he made few years back in vb6 using DB as MS Access . Now he want me to integrate it with his online software which is made in asp.net and SQL as database.
1) Question is it possible to run a vb6 software online which has ms access as its DB.
[i][b]I have always developed apps for desktops with an access database on one server for one company or sql server. I had one connection string. Now I am in a situation with multiple clients using my software on their own server. This means different connection strings can anyone suggest an efficient way to do this without changing connection strings for each server throughout the application?[/b][/i]
View 1 RepliesI started a forms solution in VB 2008, created a datasource to an access database (2010) and used the datagrid view to display the data. 3 fields in the access database are lookup fields with 2-8 values each, typed in by me, since the linking to other fields did not work. This is not working either. When I change the column to combo-box or not, those values, typed into access, are NOT showing up in the datagrid. the combo box has its drop down arrow but the value fields are empty.
View 10 RepliesWhat I want to produce is a form with about 20 text box's on it that are linked to a timer. That is easy, what isn't easy for me is how to get the data in a loaded form from access to another VB app. (timer form will be limited to one instance)
I have an access database which copies a string to clipboard and then opens a vb app. I have a button on that app which captures the clipboard text and moves it to an empty field starting a timer (lots of fields, keeps searching till it finds an empty field).What I want to know is: can access talk to a vb form that is already loaded and start a function?ORIf access can't talk directly to a vb app, can vb apps talk to each other and swap data (not just keystroke macros eithre)?
I can get access to copy text to the clipboard, launch a VB program that grabs the text in the clipboard and starts a timer, but can I get that VB app to talk to a second application?EDIT: I should add that VB doesn't need to talk to any tables in access, just what is in the clipboard.
EDIT: Tried to make 2 instances of the same app talk to each other using my.settings but it didn't work.
Could I make them talk to each other through a file other than my.settings file OR make the my.settings file absolute regardless of how many instances?
I would like to determine what apps are running on the computer. Not sure where to start.
While we are at it, is there any event that triggers that indicates that a new application has been started? Basically I am trying to log what applications are running on the application while my VB application is running.
I need some advice here, i have several little applications that i want to be small modules (don't know if it's the right name), in one Main application.I know that i can do this in several ways (add the code, call the exe), but i was looking to guidance for the best way / pro way.
I was thinking in creating DLLs for each one, and after putting the DLLs in one folder inside my Main Application instalation, it recognizes all the DLLs in that folder and create the appropriated menu for the DLL with the options defined inside. Kind off add-in, this may help me in the future if i need/want to add other apps/DLLs.I already seen something like this in the web, but i don't remember where or what should i write in the google to get what i want...

View 3 RepliesI'm developing a shell (think LiteStep or SharpE) for Windows using Visual Basic .NET, and I have reached the point where I will need to get into theming other windows that doesn't run inside the shell itself.Modifications I will need to do is to change their title bars - probably using some kind of API call - to match the design I've integrated into the shell itself, if that is even possible. Having Aero on windows running in a shell that doesn't even look like Aero at all isn't very pretty.) Is there a chance I might be able to do this, or will I have to use a 3rd party application and/or develop my own little programming language for shell-specific applications (which would be a pain)?
View 2 RepliesFirst off, this is not for a class. Although I *AM* taking VB classes, I wanted to do something on my own that would help me learn. I find that the examples and assignments in class, are okay, but I would like to do something that I could apply in real life, perhaps apply it to my own work and master many techniques. So this could actually become my own final exam
That being said, I have searched and read all the posts on quizzes and tests and they are usually asking for code answers. No from the beginning development and planning. I am sure eventually, I might ask some code questions, but I would like to start at the beginning and analyze, develop the algorithm/ flow chart, and desk-check first.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2008 on an XP machine and am trying to develop a web app that can interact with websites and carry out automatic tasks.One problem I have is trying to recreate the web requests for automatic interaction.
For example:I use a webBrowser control to allow me to surf a page manually. Then, once I am at a specific location, I'd like the automatic interaction to take over.Part of the website requires a log-in and exchanges cookie data.When I try to read the cookie info from the webbrowser control to build the subsequent automatic requests, the cookie content is incomplete.Upon further investigation, it appears that the site sets one of the cookies to "http only". This stops the value being visible to the webbrowser control.Is there another control or method I could use to retrieve this info?

View 2 RepliesIt appears that my favorite thing in the world is tackling projects that are beyond my current knowledge and abilities. I have a little project that I am working on which is a simple image viewer stocked with (upon completion) your standard Load..., Next/Previous, Zoom In/Out, Actual Size, and Full Screen capabilities. However, I am running into a few snags:
(1) I've been able to get my "Load..." button to display a file dialog box, but I cannot seem to get a working filter (with which only image file types are allowed to be selected) in working order.
(2) I have a PictureBox object (entitled PictureBox1) that displays the image selected via the file dialog box, but it loads images in their full size (1:1/100% zoomed) state without scrollbars, etc. to allow me to navigate the loaded image. I would like to have it load the image, initially, to fit within the dimensions of PictureBox1 and from there be able to zoom in/out via my "Zoom In/Out" and "Actual Size" buttons and be able to scroll if the zoom level is beyond the dimensions of PictureBox1.
(3) It dawned on me that I haven't the faintest idea how to get my "Next/Previous" buttons to allow the user (me) to navigate, in succession, the images contained in the folder in which the currently loaded image is stored. [code]
