Aug 1, 2009I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.

View 2 RepliesHow Does DotNet Handle Parametrized Dates Where Programmatic Date Has No Time But Sql Date Has Time
Jul 16, 2010Thought I'd see if Stack overflow is quicker than me testing something while I get a thousand interruptions from other work :)
I'm updating an old VB net application and trying to refactor some of the logic as I go. The app looks for data from a single date across a few tables and writes that view to a file.
Writing the query in SQL I'd get the equivalent of
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE CAST(FLOOR(CAST(table.date AS float))AS datetime) = '15-Jul-2010'
Ideally I'd use
SELECT * FROM table WHERE date=@input
and add a date object as a parameter to a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand instance
Are those two comparable? Will I get the results I expect?

View 2 RepliesPossible To Call .exe Files With Shell() Or Process.Start()?
Aug 8, 2011I have an issue in my project I am programming in both Matlab (Matlab2011a) and Visual Basic (VS2008).I've created a .exe file from my matlab code. It works well when I click on it with my mouse.But I need to run it within Visual Basic. I know it's possible to call .exe files with Shell() or Process.Start(), and it works well for files such as firefox.exe or notepad.exe. However, it doesn't work when I call my own .exe file ...It's weird because when I look to the Task Manager while trying to call it (within VB), I can see the process starting and ending, but its output doesn't appear.

View 20 RepliesSet Windows To Control/manage Wireless Over Third-party Clients?
Jun 6, 2011Within VB.NET, trying to find an easy way to in a sense check the check-box "Use Windows to configure my Wireless Network Settings". This is an option that forces windows to use your wireless over third-party programs that may try to steal control. I am aware this requires to have WZC enabled within services and that's something that can be easily accomplished one way or another.
I doubt or rather cannot find a proper registry value or API call to check or initiate such a task.
C# - Convert A Date And Time To UTC Time Based On The Time Zone Of The User?
Sep 6, 2009I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?

View 9 RepliesCall One Form1 And The Other Settings?
Apr 1, 2010My program has two forms. Let's call one Form1 and the other Settings. It's possible that Settings may be opened before Form1. Settings may also change some settings that need to be updated immediately on Form1. The thing is, if Form1 hasn't been opened yet, certain elements haven't been fully initialized (even tho Form1's properties can be modified since I do create an instance of the form on program load). Since these elements haven't been initialized, if Settings tries to modify them, it crashes the program.
Are there any ideas how, maybe to keep Settings from modifying stuff on a form that hasn't been loaded yet for the first time.
