I need help with the select statement using the where clause on oldb

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:40:48 Z

I'm using a select statement to select data from an Access DB but I'm using. I can select the data perfectly but when I use the Where clause it doesn't select any data and the data I'm looking is in the DB. I hope someone can help me, here is my code.

how to run a form in a console application

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:04:04 Z

I need to write a windows application that accepts parameters, so I guess the best way to do this is console applications. But I have one question, in my console application startup module I use the following code to show the form that I designed, but the application does not recognize Application.Run command. Could some one help. I tried adding the required dlls , but no luck. Is there any other way to show my form?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Following is the code I am using.

Linking forms

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 10:18:35 Z

Hi,

I have 1 project with about 7 forms. On each form I have 6 x 4 responses radio buttons (i.e. a multiple choice quiz). If the correct response is selected, the examinee gets 1 point, else 0. At the end of the quiz, the examinee can click a button that will add up all the correct responses & display the % correct.

How do I program the button to do this given that data are on 7 different forms?

Thank you.

Windows 7 Task Scheduler problem

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:48:20 Z

I'm upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm using VB in VS 2008. Under XP, I used the Task Scheduler to run a program at 3pm every weekday, and it ran fine. Now in W7, when the Task Scheduler runs the programs, it encounters an exception when it gets to the code MyForm.ShowDialog(). The error is:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."
Source="System.Windows.Forms"
StackTrace:

InnerException:

When I run the program from a shortcut with the same parameters as in the Task Scheduler (i.e. the shortcut runs the .exe file with some paramters after it), it runs fine, so I'm guessing there is some setting in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler I need to set, but I can't find it. I've tried checking "Run with highest privledges" (and unchecking it), but that didn't help. I have tried it with the "Hidden" box unchecked and checked and that didn't help. I've also tried it with "Configure for" set either way (Windows 7 or Vista). So how do I get rid of this error?

I need a way to control what happens!

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:00:54 Z

Here is my problem:
I use the webbrowser control to navigate to certain websites and login and retrieve some data. For that I created a sub for each website. On the form i have a button that calls every sub when clicked. The problem is that I don't know how to pause or stop the process once started. If I quit the program it will still run in the background until all calls complete. I tried to use a thread, but that doesn't go well with the webbrowser control.
Any thoughts please? Keep in mind that I'm just starting with Visual Basic.net and if you want to help, go easy on me :)

"The publisher could not be verified" for shortcut

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:27:42 Z

I installed Windows 7 64 bit with VS 2008 on my old PC (clean install, transferring my files from Windows XP), and also purchased a new PC and put the same on it. On the old PC, I have programs in VB I've written, and I've created shortcuts to them. When I click on the shortcuts on the old PC, they run fine. I copied the VS Projects folder from my old PC to the new PC, similarly created shortcuts for the same programs on the new PC. On the new PC, when I click on the shortcuts, it says "The publisher could not be verified", and if I click "Run", it runs but a window pops up saying there was a problem executing the program. If I go directly to the bin folder for the program and click on the .exe file, it runs fine, but if I click on the shortcut, I get those problems. Also, if I open the program in VS and run it, it runs fine.

After researching this, I'm guessing that it may have something to do with the fact that the programs were copied over from another PC (i.e. from my old PC to the new one). In the new PC, I've tried right-clicking on the shortcut and the .exe files to look at properties, and unchecked the "Read-only" box, and there's no other box for Security (see http://blogs.pcmag.com/securitywatch/2009/05/how_to_get_rid_of_vistas_this.php ), and I still have the problem. Any suggestions?

Sorting filenames using the Windows Explorer algorithm

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:05:43 Z

Hi,

I want to sort string-arrays containing filenames in VB .NET 2002 using the same intelligent algorithm that windows explorer uses. I mean the algorithm that is able to recognize numbers within the filename and sorts the parts the look like a number as numbers and the rest of a filename as text. The result would be something like this:
A1 A2 ... A9 A10 A11 ... A20
instead of
A1 A10 A11 ... A19 A2 A20 A3 ... A9

This should work for all filenames on a random PC and not only for a specific type of filenames. Is this possible?
Thank you for your help.

Using Regex(Regular Expressions)

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:51:07 Z

I'm needing to use Regex to find a dynamic text. It will always be found between the same things.

Now, I'm sure that made little sense, so let me clarify. I have a rich text box full of text. I am needing to use a Regex method to find a certain string of that text that is always different. This string will be located between the same two pieces of text every time.

For Example:

If this is my string: id ="user_name" ><img style ="display: block;" usr ="resentful"

I need to find the text in between id ="user_name" ><img style ="display: block;" usr =" and ".

Thank you for and help,

datagridview seems to cause startup form to appear even after been hiden!

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:49:14 Z

Hi all!

I have a problem and its driving me nuts.

I have so far, 2 forms. 1 called regi.vb and the other called logon.vb.

I have created a DB with access and imported it into my application. What I am trying to do is startup with regi.vb and test to see if there are any entries into the DB and if so, hide the startup form(regi.vb) and show the login.vb form.

I have done a test and it loads regi.vb then I enter some details into the textboxes and then after clicking a button, it inserts the info from the textboxes into the DB. It then loads login.vb, which is fine, but then if i exit the app and reload it, it tests to see if there is anything in the DB and when it finds that there is, it reloads the bloody regi.vb(startup form)!!

So why, when it discovers that the DB is not empty, it re-opens the startup form??

I have used login.show()
me.hide()

Here is the code for the startup form (regi.vb)

Public Class regi


    Private Sub regi_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'PassSafeMianDataSet1.Table1' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.

        Me.Table1TableAdapter.Fill(Me.PassSafeMianDataSet.Table1)

        If DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1 > 0 Then

            login.Show()

            Me.Hide()

        ElseIf DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1 <= 0 Then

        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

        End

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Me.Table1TableAdapter.Insert(user.Text, pass.Text, email.Text)

        login.Show()

        Me.Hide()

    End Sub

End Class

And here is the code for the login.vb form

Public Class login


    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        End

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

        Me.Hide()

        regi.Show()

    End Sub

End Class

This only happens when i use the datagridview1

It seems to be overiding my me.hide() command !!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Rich

Accessing sql database

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:59:15 Z

Hello, I've been building a program that accesses the data stored in currently an .mdf sql file. The program works perfectly on my computer where I connect to an sqlexpress 2005 server I've got, but when I try to run the program on a friend's computer it cannot open the database file. I've tried several routes to get the connection but it hasn't worked, this is my current code snippet:

Using
 fileInput As
 New
 OpenFileDialog()
            Try

                fileInput.ShowDialog()
                Dim
 t As
 String
 = fileInput.FileName
                server = "Data Source=<NAME>\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="""
 & _<br/>
                    t & """;Database=dbname;Integrated Security=True"

            Catch
 ex As
 Exception
                MessageBox.Show("Error reading file name"
)
            End
 Try

        End
 Using

        conn = New
 SqlConnection(server)
        conn.Open()

The <NAME> replaces the server name it was given. I've used both AttachDBFilename and Initial Catalog, but neither seem to let my friend's computer access the server and database. I would be grateful for any help on this problem, would I have to download the express server onto my friend's computer to get it to work or is there something else I am unaware of?

My original intention was to simply access the sql database, but I was unable to find a method for opening it without going through an sql server. Do I have to use a server or can the file simply be opened, or do I have to use a different database type to do such?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

How do you stop an array value from changing when a random output is generated using VB 2008?

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:57:49 Z

I am generating an array of random numbers for for a class project (simple yahtzee game). I am comparing the output of the array and displaying a picture of each matching dice in a picture box. I would like to use check boxes to select a position of the array so it cannot be changed until the check boxes are cleared. When the check box is checked, the value of the position in the array should not change. How do I accomplish this?

TagLib# - MP3 files, tagging and Images. - Can you help?

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:15:47 Z

Hi everyone,

I've got myself into a mess and hope some-one here can help out.
I'm using this MP3 tagging library called TagLib# or TagLibSharp.

Unfortunately the documentation is a bit patchy to say the least and their (Official) website, which contains all the documentation seems to have closed down, leaving me to download this MP3 tagging library from the link below.
http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/TagLib_Sharp

Everything so far works, including tagging the 'Artist, Title, Album' etc. but I want to include an image in my MP3 files, like album art.
I have found some sample code to read the image back from the tag using their library, I just can't work out what it would look like the other way around.

If filetotag.Tag.Pictures.Length >= 1 Then
  Dim bin = DirectCast(filetotag.Tag.Pictures(0).Data.Data, Byte())
  AlbumArt.Image = Image.FromStream(New MemoryStream(bin)).GetThumbnailImage(115, 115, Nothing, System.IntPtr.Zero)
End If

This code above will read an existing tag and load the image into a picture box called 'Album Art'.
Does any-one know how to 'flip' it so that it would look something like ...

filetotag.Tag.Pictures = AlbumArt.Image

Obviously using the memory stream functions etc.

Many thanks,
DJ PIP

Disabling a vscrollbar but keeping the bar totally visible

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:05:52 Z

Hi,

I'm currently working on an application that detects a color on a defined area on the screen and together with a panel that displays the color I show the values in a label and represent them with a vscrollbar. (The goal of the project is to output the color of the computer screen via an usb to dmx interface to create an ambilight effect) Now I don’t want the user to be able to move the scrollbars up and down so I figured disabling them would do the trick but then the little square you click on to scroll it up and down isn't visible anymore. Is there a workaround for this? Probably something simple I'm missing here, it's been a while since I programmed :)

Checking a file is in a given path

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:08:13 Z

Hi

I am writing a program to play sound effects in a theatre.

The file system should be like this:

Any path on the computer\Filename\filename.xml
Any path on the computer\Filename\Sounds\

filename.xml is the file that contains all the data for the show, and inside the directory "Sounds" all of the sound effects for the current show are kept.

What I want to do is when the user opens a file from an open file dialog, if the path is inside the sounds directory, just return the path from the directory sounds onwards. If it is not, I want to copy the file into the sounds direcrtory, then return the path as before.

For example:
I have the show file C:\myShow\myShow.xml

I open the file C:\myShow\Sounds\SoundEffect1.wav
Just return "\Sounds\SoundEffect1.wav"

I open the file C:\My Music\Sound Effect 2.wav
Copy the file to C:\myShow\Sounds\
Then return \Sounds\SoundEffect2.wav

Thanks

So how do I do this in a application?

Accept only one char per line in a RichTextBox

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:40:44 Z

Hey guys,

I only want one char per line to be accepted in my multilined richtextbox. This means that when one char is typed, then the richtextbox should automatically change line.
So typing 'hi!' should show as:
h
i
!

I tried this but i seem to get out of bounds.

Private Sub txtrtb_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtrtb.KeyPress

        For Me.i = 0 To txtrich.Lines(i).Count - 1
            If txtrich.Lines(i).Length = 1 Then
                txtrich.Text &= vbCrLf
            Else
                Return

Privately check for updates

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:13:31 Z

Hi. I have a program with commercial uses. Currently I have email out updates. I would prefer that when the program loads, it searches for updates either from the web or I was toying with the idea of creating a file host server. I want the program to search for updates without opening a web browser, however (giving anyone power to email out a free download link).
I think of the way Digsby opens, checking for updates, or gimp. This is what I want.
Anyone have ideas on how to accomplish this?

I seek not answers, but understanding, that I may not solve, but learn. What good is a fish without the skill to catch it?

menuitems not working when clicking on shockwave

What a ____ a$$hole this forum is...

contextmenu item not working PLEASE HELP!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:02:33 Z

Hi guys,

I have a form with contextmenu where you can get the menu items on shockwave. I uses the menu items event to get the method of working when clicking them on shockwave by using right-mouse button. When I debug the project and when I clicked on testmenu item, nothing have happens.

Form Code:

Code:

Public Class Form1



    Private Sub testmenu_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles testmenu.Click

        MessageBox.Show("this is the test!")

    End Sub

End Class

Class Library:

Code:

Public Class ShockwaveMenu

    Inherits AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash

    Private Const WM_RBUTTONDOWN As Integer = &H204



    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)

        Select Case m.Msg

            Case WM_RBUTTONDOWN

                Form1.ContextMenu1.Show(Me, PointToClient(Cursor.Position))

                m.Result = New IntPtr(1)

                Return

        End Select

        MyBase.WndProc(m)

    End Sub

End Class

Please can you tell me why it doesn't do anything when I click on testmenu item?? And please can you help me to get this fix by when I click the point on shockwave to get the contextmenu items then click them to get the menuitems fully in working order??

Thanks,
Mark

earning my medals

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:48:18 Z

i can not wait till the day i receive my second medal. (sighs) and i intend to receive it for the points by means of my answers.

recently, i did some searching on the forum members, to view their points and medals and such, and i stumbled upon some disturbing stuff.
what i found out, is that you can post 1,000 or so posts, no answers, and get points and medals. msdn, i'm not agreeing with such. (so don't spam my email, i was just kidding). ;o)
no, really.. and out of those 1,000 posts, maybe one or two were answered. and probably by a moderator, not the op.
should this be normal, or did i just give some of you guys ideas on how to cheat your way to getting a full medal jacket?

trujade...

THIS POST WAS MARKED AS ABUSE BY THE MEMBER JUNNER2OO3, EARL TUT, now, nowhere to be seen..
this i know of, because of a thread (posts were sent back and forth, that were eventually deleted) where i had a conflict with the above M.I.A. member, and he proudly brought the mention of marking this thread as abuse.. i cannot see the reason, other than making it more visible.. lol..
if you want a good example, view the end of "Proposing an answer " and how his replies are the only ones not marked, i am for certain, most were his, no answer was received....

DataGridView combobox

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:40:47 Z

I have a DataGridView that is bound to a table call "GLMasters". One of the fields in the GLMasters is "Statement" that contains a 1 for Balance Sheet and 2 for Income Statement. There is another table called "GLStatements" that contains a statement number field and a statement name field. When I drop the GLMasters dataset on to the screen it creates the "Statement" field as a textbox. I am trying to change that to a combobox. I edited the field and changed it to a combobox, selected my datasource of GLStatements dataset, set the display member to be the statement name from the GLStatements datasource, and set the value to be the statement number from the GLStatements datasource. When I save and run I get the following:

The following exception occured in the DataGridView:
System.FormatException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is invalid.

What am I missing??
