I'm using GetDriveType function to determine the drive type.the function works fine, but not with external HDD it returns 3 or "fixed" which confuses me!! is there any way to distinguish between internal (local) fixed HDD and external (USB) HDD?
View 1 RepliesRecently, I have a requirement to develop a vb.net application wherein the input excel sheet data which has an average of 5000 records should be checked for Internal duplicates (duplicates within the same sheet) and external duplicates (duplicates which exist outside this sheet). I have gone through lot of logics..some of which are ...
- Common and currently testing out..
- First insert the excel sheet data into DB..then query by following
select distinct id,mobilenumber from scrubmaster where calltablename=<calltablename given by the uploader>
Then loop for duplicates...
[code]....
The above logic works but it takes very long time..I have tried other logics from web but they "Query timeout"...
Scenario: We have a website that is viewed both internally and externally. When an error occurs the users are displayed with a detailed error page(Stack trace etc). Problem: The external customers do not need that much information about the error. We are looking to have the external customers see a message instead. Ex. Please contact Administrator. Also if possible we would like to log this message in our SQL database.
Note: I'm assuming I make a custom error page like - Implementing a Custom Error page on an ASP.Net website. but how do I determine whether or not the user is internal/external? Also is this the best way to approach the problem?
Is there a simple way in vb.net to mask a public property or method from the internal namespace? It would be helpful as a refactoring tool to isolate internal dependencies and perhaps to enforce a non-recursion policy for external services.

View 6 RepliesI have a barcode scanner connected to a PC that working with a c# program.now i want to distinguish between the scanner and the keyboard which one is sending data to my program.
somebody said this to me in another topic(but i can't do this yet): basically you can configure the scanner to send some characters that basically tell the computer "hi, it's me". When you see those characters in your input stream, you know the information is coming from the barcode scanner, not from something the user typed on the keyboard. Did you check the manual that came with your barcode scanner? It should have more information about this.
I want my to create an explorer like application. What control should i use to show the contents of a directory.I tried listview and listbox. Unfortunately i was unable to add items in a listview using the function getdirectories("D:")I managed to do so with listbox control. But how can i distinguish whether the selected entry is a file or a directory. Code snippet is given below :
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
<strong>sel = ListBox1.SelectedItem</strong>
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
[code]....
I want that if thesel is file, then it'll be open in its default application,i.e. using system.process.start(sel.filetype).Else if sel is a directory then the directory will open.
Put a Datagridview on a form, fill it with data. dgv1.enabled = True and dgv1.enabled = False are almost the same look to the eye unlike other controls (textbox,combo, listview, etc ...) where there back color changed to light grey and you can distinguish if that control is enabled or disabled but not for Datagridview.

The scenario is I would like to be able reference two similar 3rd party assemblies (e.g. assem1 and assem2) which both define a type with the same fully qualified name (e.g. Example.MyType). Is there any way to distinguish between these and refernce them seperately? I believe the answer is no but confirmation or correction would be handy.

View 2 Repliestitle is a bit vague. Is there any way I can tell if it's the user or the code that's altered a combobox? I want certain things to happen when a combobox is updated, but I don't want them to happen when the code is altering the combobox at runtime, only when the user selects something out of them. Unfortunately, if I use the 'Selectedindexchanged' option that triggers when I change the contents in code too. I've tried disabled the combobox while I update it, but that doesn't seem to work. Any way to detect user input only? My combobox is drop-down only by the way, so it's only if they select an option - they can't type anything.

View 1 RepliesMy issue involves relationships and cascaded effects between properties, and I'm wondering what best practices are on this.I have a class that contains a list of varying length of numbers. When editing the list, sometimes the user prefer to set a TargetSum, so that the program enforces the list will always add to this sum. I am accomplishing this by programmatically setting the final element in the list such that list sum = TargetSum. For example, if the user chooses to UseTargetSum, then sets TargetSum = 10, then creates a list of length 4, and enters 1, 4, 2 for the first 3 elements, then the final element is programmatically fixed to 3. The user cannot change the final element themselves.
I do this behind the scenes by handling all necessary events, such as a list element value change, list length change, and the UseTargetSum option change. For each event trigger, it recalculates the last element's value.It works but then there was a bug when loading saved data. If a list is loaded by sequentially adding the elements, the handlers modify each entry. Regarding the example, when the first value of 1 is entered, the handlers say "a value was just added, the sum should be 10, there is currently only one element, so it needs to be 10". So the first element gets changed to 10 behind the scenes. When the second element is next added, the handlers say "a value of 4 was just added, but the first element is already 10, so it should be zero." At the end of the load, the final list reads 10,0,0,0 instead of 1,4,2,3.
I know it is possible to rearrange the load procedure such that I get the correct list. For instance, I could avoid enabling the TargetSum event handlers until after all the data is loaded. The list would first be created as 1,4,2,3 and then the handlers would change nothing.
But this experience makes me wonder if I am opening the door for other sneaky side effects. It seems you should be able to load data without worrying too much about an implicit ordering. It also seems unusual to have "cascading" effects between class properties. Is there a more accepted approach?
The other alternative I'm considering is to only enforce TargetSum only inside UI forms. Ie, when you know it's a user making the change, then enforce the TargetSum, but otherwise leave the core class logic alone.That way database loads, etc, are left unaffected. But I guess the downside of not having ubiquitous enforcement is that opens the door of incorrect sums via some unforeseen complication.
I'm using Visual Basic .Net 2010 Express.I know, for example, that the Visual Basic ( IEEE 754 ) Internal bit-by-bit Double Format is: Bit 63 = Sign, Bits 62-52 = 11-bit Exponent, and Bits 51-0 = 52-bit Fractional Significand.But, I can't seem to find any documentation on the Internal bit-by-bit Decimal Format.There also don't seem to be any workable mechanisms for accessing the bit structure or copying the bits to another Format for internal processing and returning the result to the Decimal Format.[code]to separate the ULongVariable into bytes for convenient manipulation. A similar reverse process allows moving the manipulated bits back into the Signed Long Variable.But, methods like << and >> are not extendable to Decimals per the Microsoft Documentation ( and I tried them anyway, and confirmed that they don't work ). Nor does there appear to be any way to copy the 128-bit Decimal into two 64-bit Unsigned Long Variables, or vice-versa.
I could, of course, forgo the use of Decimals and define my own MDJDecimal consisting of two ULongs, but that seems a bit of an overkill, and its methods would likely incur significant development time, and would probably also be rather excessively slow and cumbersome.I know I could write a workable routine in Visual C++ .Net using the Unmanaged Native Assembler, but I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net code, and I don't want to irrevocably tie what I'm developing to the Intel platform.I might also be able to write it in Managed Visual C++ .Net, but, again, I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net.

View 1 RepliesIts been a very long time since I don't show up here.Now I am back with a small project for internal use, but I need a little help.I want to make a program that allows me to change file attributes, like 'hidden', 'read-only' and 'system'.It seems pretty simple, but I want that multiple files can be modified at once. For this I would need a list that shows the files into the interface. There is what I can't get.
I first thought on a listbox, but there is also a listview which seems much more complete, but I just don't know how to use it. I was wondering if I could make something like: I open a folder, all the items inside that folder would be listed inside the listview.I learned a bit, but not enough. I've set the listview to 'details' mode, so I can actually list items. Also, I've added three collums: one for file name, other for file size and another for file attributes. I just need to learn now how they works.
