No-one else makes a VB.NET compiler. If they did, it would likely be about the same size.
PC magazines often put this sort of stuff on cover discs, or you can see if there's a user group in your area, which may have a copy to loan you, or maybe someone there has ADSL.
If worst comes to worst, I think Microsoft sell the discs for the price of postage.
Or., if you're a student, the student edition of VS.NET is cheap as chips. The individual languages instead of the full IDE are even cheaper.

Go to a public library with Internet access and take a blank CD with you. Chances are you'll be able to download it there and burn it to disk.

At the least you will probably need the dotnet runtime. This is about 15 meg. This is doable with a dialup but not pleasent. You may already have this (it is in XP service pack 2) or be able to get it from a magazine coverdisk.
As for the compiler you can get compiler and VB.net IDE for free from:
www.icsharpcode.com/OpenSource/SD/Download/[^]
It is called Sharpdevelop and is a free dotnet IDE. It does VB and C# and can convert code between the two. Its also only about 7 meg which is fine over a dialup.
Sharpdevelop will wotk fine with just the dotnet runtime but you wont be able to use any debugging (not easy to do in the #develop ide anyway) and you wont have any documentation but atleast its better than 150 meg download.

In a small application I write I use a listview in Details view with check boxes. The listview has 3 rows and 2 columns. The second column of each row is initially empty. When I click a check box to check it, I perform some computation and insert the result into the second column. When I uncheck the box, the column is cleared.
My problem: I couldn't find a simple way to determine in which row the check box I clicked is located. I've finally done the following: in the ItemCheck event of the listview I prepare a list of the currently checked rows. Then I start a timer with an interval of 250 ms that runs only once (AutoReset = False). In the Elapsed event of the timer I prepare another list of checked rows. This list contains the updated state of the box I clicked. I can find the row of the box I clicked by comparing the 2 lists.
This method works but I feel it's a little cumbersome. Is there a better way?
Thanks!

Isn't the list item you checked the selected item? If so, you can use listView.SelectedItems(0) will get you the selected item.
Even otherwise, you can loop through the list of items and find out which one was checked, instead of doing it the way you are doing now.
Regards
Senthil

Hello I am using KODAC i80 scanner for developing an application in Visual basic scanner. I am using KOFAX imaging controls for this purpose. But While initializing scanner I am getting error as "the ordinal 551could not be located in the dynamic link library kcl310.dll "
Please guide me how to initialize KODAC scanner using KOFAX image controls.

We don't support third party components here simply because there are thousands of them. I myself, have never heard of KODAC in 20 years of this business. Your best bet is to contact the support of the manufacturer who made it and see what they've got to offer.

This file you noted:
"kcl310.dll"
does not seem to be part of the Kodak Imaging controls files, what is it?
|

Hello there,
It is not part of KODAC but part of KOFAX imaging controls.
I tried to register this DLL again but the problem was not resolved.
Thanks a lot for the help.

If you used PowerPoint as a component in your code, the end user MUST have Office installed on their machine in order to run your app.
If not, then you could include the PowerPoint Viewer[^] with your application.

thank you
but can you explain the different between tow cases
in your answer.
and more details about including powerpoint viewer
and thank you another

Actually, you'll answer the qeustions for yourself...
Why are you including a PowerPoint presentation in your application? How are you expecting people to view the presentation if they don't have PowerPoint installed?

How can i implement a log file which record my application activity.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure if there's any automatic way, but I use a class of static logging methods and a lazy initialised file stream which is closed in IDispose.

If you want to write to an O/S filesystem (text) file - see help on file streams and text files (I assume you do not need this). See System.IO namespace.
To log to the windows event log (I assume this is what you want something like this):
Private Shared Sub WriteToAppLog( _
ByVal message As String _
, ByVal messageType As EventLogEntryType _
)
Dim elLog As System.Diagnostics.EventLog
Try
elLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog( _
"Application" _
, Environment.MachineName _
, Application.ProductName _
)
elLog.WriteEntry(message, messageType)
Catch ex As Exception
'Your error handling here
End Try
End Sub
I suggest you write a reusable application-message class handling messages to user/screen, text log file or Windows Event log (or any combination there in).
Use <flags()> designation before your enum declaration to "OR" these options together in a bitwise fashion.
Good luck,
-Len

A basic implementation for this is already provided in the framework. The TraceListener class might be a good start for reading. If you need something more sophisticated you should have a look at NLog. This article describes the basics for using it.

Hello There
What you are doing is creating a reference by the keyword New like
Dim obj as new myproject.Myclass
but infact you have to use this
dim obj as object
obj=createObject("myproject.myclass")
' secondly are you registering the component through Vs.Net Command prompt. then dont do that. I had a problem with this that even if there is some thing wrong with the component it registers it by force. so register it through Component Service in GUI environment.
hope this helps.. if not then I am still here
cheers........

thanks for your reply  i figured it out already i unchecked the Enforced acess check box in the service component i created. i thought registering it in the command prompt is safe...oh well still need to learn a lot of things...
btw, do you know how can i create a new table in a sql server database?
|
|
|
|
|
for creating a table use the same way as you use to execute any query for insert or update. like this
' where cmd is command object
cmd.commandtext=="Create table tablename ....."
cmd.executenoquery()

Hi.
I have a screen that allows navigation via (first, prev, next, last) using a BindingManagerBase. It is actually a control that I made that is being passed a bmb upon instantiation.
Now, if someone attempts to navigate off the record, I check to see if there are any changes first. Something like this:
...
BindingContext(ds).EndCurrentEdit()
return ds.HasChanges
...
I ask the user if they want to save, disregard changes or cancel. If the user picks disregard changes, I do something like this.
...
ds.rejectChanges
...
Immediately after that line of code, ds.hasChanges = False.
The problem is, after control goes back to the app, and the user tries to navigate again, ds.hasChanges=TRUE??? 
As far as I can tell, I am not changing any data in any of my events or other code. Is there something that I am missing?
The user will keep getting told they have changes even though they asked to disregard them. 
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks,
-Len Miller

Hi,
Im relatively new at programming, but I just want to know if my project idea can be accomplished or not.
I have a relational paradox database that is representing a photolibrary for the company I am working for. I am trying to develope and application that will be able to search the database, generate a list of thumbnails based on the search criteria. I want to be able to click on the thumbnail and pull up additional information stored within the database.
After I have selected a photo I then want to be able to attach the jpg file of the image as an email attachment.????
I would like to accomplish this in vb.net and then hopefully later on develope it into a asp.net project.
what are your suggestions ? pointers... can i connect to a paradox database using vb.net?
and is the email feature doable?
I would love any feedback or suggestions you have...
you could email directly or reply to this message.
sheldonj@gmail.com..
Thanks, James
