I need help with figuring out how to have a toolbar that you can drag and drop. Any good help resources to refer to for this? Thank you!

So I have meself a simple little screen saver app that I made with a lot of help from articles here on codeproject and elsewhere (thanks goes out to all who post such articles and tutorials).
I would like to enable this app to create custom screen savers from settings the user specifies.
I need to figure out how I can have my application make a copy of itsself (or even another existing copy) with the user settings.
But doesn't it need to be compiled?
If someone could point me to a tutorial that might explain how to go about doing such a thing that would be great. Currently using VB .net 2003

If I have understood you correctly:
You have a program that it is itself a screen saver, the user can chage the settings and you want to change the screen save using those settings.
(if this is your problem)
You do not need to create another copy of your program. You just need to save the settings and then load it at your program's startup. To do so, one easy way is to use the SaveSetting, LoadSetting functions.
If your problem is something else, please clarify it more.

Nope, nail on the head, er...
Another case of the developer making things difficult for themselves.
Thanks.

In a test I'm making I type this
oledbDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tbl_clientes;"<br />
oledbDataAdapter.Fill(Dataset)<br />
Me.DataGridBuscar.DataSource = Dataset
Then I change the code to
oledbDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tbl_clientes WHERE nombre LIKE '*j*';"<br />
oledbDataAdapter.Fill(Dataset)<br />
Me.DataGridBuscar.DataSource = Dataset
And nothing is selected!!!
If I copy and paste the SQL in the access editor, it returns a few records that begins with "j" (what I want!)
Why this not runs in VBNET?
Thanks.

Two things.
1) You say that you want to find records that "START" with J. Do not use a wild card in front of the letter else you will match records that have a j anywhere within the text.
2) Try using % character instead of * character as the wildcard indicator. I have had some luck doing this.

It works like you say... but why in access my query returns values and in VB not?
Thanks a lot!

Not sure of the real explanation, but it works. Access does not reconize % as a wildcard. But when passed a sql statement, it works.

Yup, that happened to me too with the distinct command. Just make sure you check the syntax if it's compatible with the access.

Hi
I have a .net app in VB.Net that picks up some data via a web service and
then prints that data. In the process of printing that data I have to
validate it against a payroll program using a COM Interop link.
This works fine on my PC and on a colleague's.
However, on the client's machine I am getting the error:
Error Printing. Exception from HRESULT:Ox8004012D
I have been unable to find any reference to this error message. Can anyone
tell me what it means?
Many thanks

My guess is that the client's pc is missing something that your's and your colleague's pc has.
One way to find the issue would be to write to some sort of log file that would allow you to see what the program is doing and where in the program it's breaking.

I have a table in sql server with around 26 fields my problem is i don't know the best way to go about updating these 26 fields. I thought of creating a link from my existing datagrid to a webform and populating the form with the existing row's details and updating this way. If you have any better suggestions please help.
don't let the game play you, play the game

You want to save changes, or new values ? Either way, the best way is always to use a stored procedure, and call it. I would use a create/edit page that shows the details of one record, which can be selected from the datagrid.

Hi,
I would like to create a linkedlist with a very very large amount of nodes.
Thus, I thought of using the swap file memory to avoid to crash my pc.
Anyone could give me some exemple to manage the swap in vb.net ?
Or give me some way to do this ?
Thanks

You don't. The memory management system in Windows manages what parts of memory go to the swap file and what parts are in physical RAM - you do not have control of this.

I would like to use the API VirtualAlloc,VirtualFree,...
No possible with those functions ?
|

This is completely uneccessary. You COULD do this, but these functions allocate UNMANAGED memory. You'll also have to write code to move your data back and forth between the managed and unmanaged world, slowing down your performance.
Believe me, what you are thinking of doing is not a good idea and a waste of time. I've used huge arrays of objects (2 Billion elements) before, using about 2GB of memory, without any problems.
Try it using normal methods before you start trying to code this. What you should be thinking about is how swapping to disk and back is going to affect your performance. This is something you'll have to deal with even if you do go through your VirtualAlloc method.

In fact, i would like to this because i read articles on iocp completion port (almost all in c++) and i found this articles very interresting :
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/IOCPNet.asp
And this person use a linkedlist with virtual memory to avoid
The WSAENOBUFS error problem.
explained at this article : http://www.codeproject.com/internet/IOCP_Server_client.asp"
But for my project i must only use vb.net (client spec). So i tried to rewrite the linkedlist and preallocator object of the first article but it's not easy.
Do you see my problem ? Maybe there are managed functions which will do the same things but i don't them ?

Considering that the articles client and server is written entirely in unmanaged C++, I fail to see how using the managed libraries, instead of the API functions directly, to implement your client and server would directly relate to this article.
My best recommendation would be to write a test implementation in VB.NET to see if this issue is going to apply to your code.

Thanks for your recommandation. I will try.
But i inform you that i think that i have successfully rewrited the class OLinkedList, OPreallocator and SafeLock in VB.net.
I do just some tests for now and if it works. I will post my code.
But your are right in managed code is not possible. The virtual function aren't implemented in framework. Thus in use the API.

Hi guys,
I just spent about 4 hours of searching for how to make a deep copy of a datagrid.
I tried to serialize it, but its marked as being unserializable.
I also read about manual cloning (like implementing the ICloneable interface) but didn't get the clue.
So theres a third option I already read of:
Creating a new class, which inherits the datagrid and provides a new method (named deepcopy() or whatever), whichs task ist to create a new instance of a datagrid and transfers all the properties/variables/objects of the sourcedatagrid and finally returns the new instance. since the datagrid isn't a small class, it would take a long time to write this method. since you could use this method for datagrids only, it would be very inefficient. So here's the question:
Is there any possibility to write a clone-function which creates a deep copy and works for every kind of object?
thanks in advance,
mik 
*edit* i also read something about reflection but the english was too difficulty to read, so i didn't get the point :/ if that could be a solution i would be pleased about any links to a nice explanation

Hi
In vb6 I want to have an activex-exe file that the user can also run it as an ordinary executable file. So I put a Sub Main() in that which loads the GUI. But a new problem raises here, which is when I am going to create an instance of any class in that activex-exe, the Sub Main() runs before the Class_Initialize() and the GUI also is shown (which is not what I want when creating an instance of the class).
How could I overcome this problem?

|

|

I would have a separate EXE for this purpose which uses the ActiveX EXE to expose the functions to a GUI. Don't try to make the ActiveX EXE serve two purposes.
