I am trying to call a VB dll from ASP.net code behind. This is fine.
Then, this DLL calls a function of VB ActiveX exe. This is where application breaks. It says some "Security Exception" issue.

Have any one faced this issue? Please suggest what should be done to resolve this. Thanks

Just an idea, but not necesserily the solution: what about sorting based on

Creating new objects

Hello!

I'm trying to find a way to create several instances of a module class that represents for example a shape, then setting a variable to that module class i could change its properties and so on..

Is this possible in Vb6?

Thank you in advance

I could be wrong but I thought that a module was like a class where all the members and properties were shared. If this is correct then any instances would have the same properties, change the value of one and the property changes in them all.

I think you should just use a normal Class and create multiple instances. This way the properties and members are not shared by instances.

Hope this helps.

            l_iCnt = l_oWebResp.ContentLength<br />
            bFile = l_oBR.ReadBytes(CType(l_iCnt, Integer))<br />
            If Not System.IO.Directory.Exists("C:\ofac") Then<br />

Hi
Anyone used the DataGridEx control (Article here)? I've formatted a column with a style, and the print facility ignores the style.

Any advice? Thanks

If you want to convert a string to an int use Int32.Parse(mystring). If you want to validate input (requiring numeric values only, for instance) use regular expressions.

How do you "auto-scale" data points on a graph?
the data will be received at a constant frequency.

I will be receiving data from a CAN/bluetooth gateway on a vehicle.

How do I go about graphing and receiving those data points and putting them on both a line and bar graph?

Thanks.

Obtaining Focus in VB application

Simes1-Jul-03 1:12

Hi,

I hope someone out there may be able to help. I have a WebBrowser control written in VB 6.0 that acts a Internet viewer but with most of the normal Internet functionality removed so people can not play around with the system. This is opened by clicking on an icon that appears on a Windows shell. This has been written again to stop people moving around the Windows NT 4.0 system. when the user clicks on the viewer it opens up and displays the home page, which then asks for a login (through IIS). Once logged in an ASP page starts up and tries to get the focus, but unfortunately it is still with the underlying viewer. Is there any way to set the focus to the ASP page. The two applications are separate.
Also in VB 6.0 is there a way to get the username that is entered when IIS displays the login box. In ASP you can use ServerVariables("LOGIN_NAME"), but I don't seem to get anything back when I set this up in my code.

large Memory used in .NET application

Hi,
try this with Windows XP or Window 2000:
1) create new windows application project.
2) Start debug.
3) press ctrl + Alt + Delete
4) Task manager
5) view the memory used by you application, it is 11 Mb.

And if you add a simple dbconnection with dataadatper the memory used is ~24Mb.
Is there a way to reduce the memory used by the application?
In my application with simple 5 form it use 75 Mb of memory.

It is too much. Frown | :(

The task manager shows your working set, which isn't the same as the memory load of your process. The .NET Framework is included in that lot, as well as anything else which happens to be shared. Try pview for more accurate stats.

Contrary to popular belief, automaticall memory management in .Net is not equivalent to 100% total resource clean up. Coders still have the responsability of freeing some resources through the Dispose() method.
Use dispose whenever available if you want to reduce memory footprint and avoid thoses cases where Net programs' memory usage continuously grows over time. (A five form program should never reach 75 Mb (unless it deals with very large quantities of data like uncompressed 20MB+ images) if coding practices are good.

Also, try minimizing the form in your example and see how much memory it is using (much less). This happens because at startup your program is assigned a large working set to account for any initialization the CLR and associated dlls might need.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
