How to send E-Mail from VB.Net from [modified]

27-Feb-09 7:52

If the C# code is compiled into a library (DLL), you can use it. You cannot mix different languages in the same project source code though. For examples, you cannot have a VB.NET project (*.vb files), then include a class written in C# (*.cs). You can USE a DLL written in C# though. The same is true for C++.

You cannot mix languages inside the same project. But, you can have various projects, written in different languages, in the same solution..

You could search this site, but I guess you already tried that? Here's walkthrough[^] provided by VB.NET Heaven Smile | :)

There's an MSDN video on sending emails[^], and lots o' videotutorials from youtube[^].

hi

vb.net

read from ini file

I have a part of my ini file
[temperature]
total=5

My code:
x=OSGetPrivateProfileString(" temperature","total","5",, sBuff, Len(sBuff), sIni)

byteTotal= Val(Left(sBuff, x))

Will the code give me byteTotal =5? What if there no those part( [temperature]) in my ini file? will it finally give me byteTotal =5?

Thanks

Probably. What happened when you executed the code? No errors?

GetPrivateProfileString asks for a default value. It will return this value if the section or the named value doesn't exist Smile | :)

Take a look at the property called "SelectedItems". That's a collection of all the items that are selected by the user, being a subset of all available items.

You can use a foreach to loop through them.

Hi all,

I'am developing a desktop application using vb.net. I've a form with infragistics ultragrid control which populates data from database and three graphs using mschart controls.

here's some code I did for print and print preview using ultragrid(grdgridmaster is the name of my grid).
You will have to code individually for each grid you want to print.

Also drag the UltraPrintPreviewDialog object onto the form.

Private Sub PrintToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim printdocument1 As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
Dim printdialogue1 As New System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog

Try
printdialogue1.Document = printdocument1
If printdialogue1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
grdGridMaster.Print(grdGridMaster.DisplayLayout, printdocument1)
End If

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show("An error occurred - " + ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

Private Sub PrintPreviewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintPreviewToolStripMenuItem.Click

Dim UltraGridPrintDocument1 As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridPrintDocument

UltraPrintPreviewDialog1.Document = UltraGridPrintDocument1
UltraGridPrintDocument1.Grid = grdGridMaster
'maximize the window
Me.UltraPrintPreviewDialog1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
UltraPrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Always tough to educated guess without seeing some of the startup code but this could be a permission issue. Perhaps your service logon does not have the necessary privileges on the service computer? If you haven't tried debugging the service yet it is really not difficult and I am sure you can google for info on how to debug a windows service.

How to add user data to a file on a web site

27-Feb-09 7:48

From the description, it sounds like you put all of your work code into the OnStart method, never letting it return. This is why the Service Controller threw up the timeout error.

When a service starts, it's expected to setup a seperate thread that does the actual work. Once the thread is setup and started, your OnStart code can return control back to the Service Controller by just getting to the End Sub statement.

I am using a small vb.net program to download software update files from an internal web site (security is not an issue). The program runs periodically on the users' machines and checks for, downloads and installs new updates that have been placed on the server.

I would like the same program to upload the user name, workstation name, date, etc. to the website and have the website store this information in a text or xml file on the server so I can review it to see who is downloading the updates. It would need to handle the case where multiple people may be downloading simultaneously.

Thanks for the response. I do not do any web development so I need something really specific. We are not supposed to use access databases because they crash the server. I think I am limited to javascript, vbscript (I am familiar with that). I am the site author but I can't install any software to run on the server.

Your only other option, given your restrictions, is to construct a web page that the client can use to submit the required data. Since you've said that you can't use a database, you're only other option for storing the data is in some kind of flat file, be it text or XML, or whatever...

So you are saying I cannot automate the process, as in sending a web request to a specially formatted hidden web page via a vb.net standalone EXE from the client computer?

And the only way to accomplish this is to have the user physically enter the data and click a button. Is that correct?

No, I'm saying you CAN do this. It's not the best solution though. A better one would be a Web Service. Either way, you have to write code that runs on the web server to do the database work.
