The call to jpg.Save, however, with a "generic error" in GDI+. Originally outside of the innermost Using statement, I moved the call inwards as per this answer, but it didn't change anything.

I Have just been watching a video on throwing Exceptions. Are you supposed to throw System.Exceptions from within your custom classes. to the calling code, Which other way can they communicate. I have read in several places it is bad practice to throw SystemExeptions.

What is the best way of communicating with Serial ports and TCP/IP communcation using vb.net?Using visual studio .net can we make it easier?? Can anyone send me sample application of communications?If I write a program communicating with my hardware using Searial port or TCP/IP, will the program be slow?? Are there any programming techniques working with communication ports?
View 1 RepliesI realize this post is rather long, but I wanted to give all the information up front instead of people having to ask me for more information.At the end of the re-installation of Visual Studio 2008, there is this message:
"Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard. MSI returned error code 1638" in the log file dd_error_vs_procore_90.txt.
I have searched on Google for this whole message and found some references to this error, but I have done what they said worked for them and it did not fix the problem for me.When I searched for just "MSI returned error code 1638", I got that it cannot install something because it is already installed:"Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel".In Add/Remove Programs I see these two programs:
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.3
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.4
Are these programs/versions what the error is refering to? Am I safe to remove them and depend on the similarly-named item which would be newly installed with Visual Studio 2008 - "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard"? I still use SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my computer, as well as 2008. I had installed VS 2008 on my computer before without this problem and also have VS 2005 and 2010.
is there any other way to access a serial port using visual basic.net 2010? i followed the steps in this site, How to access serial and parallel ports by using Visual Basic .NET but i just got this output Open the serial port.

I'm fairly new to Visual Basic (VB), but I've already got running code to access all my serial port. The problem is I want to load multiple serial ports into an array and loop through them in my functions. The program allows me to create ports(), but fails when I try to populate it.
Dim ports As IO.Ports.SerialPorts()
ports(0) = SerialPort1
Where SerialPort1 is an object I draged from the Visual Studio toolbox.
I'm learning the serial port programming. So, I study the code samples from MSDN - VB101SamplesBCL2 http:[url].....While ran the solution of "UsingTheSerialPort", It shows error: It highlights one sentence textBox2.Text = SerialPort1.ReadLine() -- Line 40 ,and says :
"InvalidOperationException was unhandled - Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'textBox2' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."
able to open and utilize a single serial port within with my VB 2008 program (i.e., set port parameters, open&close port, send&receive data via port, etc.), but I want to open two or more serial ports concurrently within my VB 2008 program so that I can read data from one port, say COM1, make decisions and calculations based on that data, and send instructions out through another port, say COM2.

View 1 RepliesI am creating an application to configure some modems through the serial port. I have no problem sending a single string of data to the serial port and displaying the immediate response to a rich text box. I have 2 problems
1st: how to update the rich text box for any delayed response from the modem
2nd: how to react to the response from the modem, in other words I want to send the next command based on the response from the modem witch is usually "OK"
This is what my code looks like currently to send ans receive data from the serial port. (sport1 is my serial port and display is my rich text box)
sPort1.Write("AT+WOPEN=1" + Environment.NewLine)
With Display
.AppendText(sPort1.ReadExisting())

I'm reasonably proficient with VB but never had any expirence with communicating with hardware. I have a piece of software that communicates with a Eurotherm 3216 process controller via RS232, but its use is fairly restricted what it can do.What I want to be able to do is take the communication from the software and redistribute it to THREE Eurotherm 3216 controllers, so my software would intercept the comms and effectively emulate the Eurotherm.

I am having my app available for 30days free trial, but after that you have to purchase a serial, how can i make my app only recognize a specific type e.g NumberLetterLetterNumberLetterLetterNumberNumber-NumberLetter-Letter:NumberNumberNumberNumber?
OR what would be the easiest way to have serials recognised?
I am programming in visual basic 2008 I would like to set up serial numebers for software im developing. I would like to prevent software theft by ensuring that each purchased copy has a unique serial number that can only be used once. How would i create this so
a.) The serial numeber can only be used once
b.) The software cannot run without a correct serial number
c.) The serial number verification box pops up on ONLY the first use of the program and goes away after correct serial number is entered
d.) a serial number generation and verification program
