Sounds like you need to absorb as much material as possible.
Regarding object oriented programming, I suggest that you read books/articles on "design patterns". This is a very valuable skill to learn. In fact, you might want to take a class on this, because I think the best way to learn it is by practicing it. It's usually taught in C++ or Java, so watch out.
In regards to VB.NET, it's not enough to just learn the new syntax. You need to learn about the .NET framework as well. I highly recommend the following book (although it's for .NET 1.1):
"Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, Version 2003"

Hello,
I made a simple Windows Form in VB.NET,
just a button, no code
because i'm new in VS2005 and was trying to see some features!
Now when trying to run this project, i get an error
"Error while trying to run project:unable to start debugging"
and now a translation of the explanation below
"the bindings entrance is invalid" ---- "de bindingsingang is ongeldig"
Don't know what to do know!
Thanks,
A.

just search Google for this: Error while trying to run project:unable to start debugging. There are many hits for that error most of which point to problems with the web server configuration. Maybe the type of project you are building is not a Windows application but a Web application? These are two different beasts.

Hi,
need help,
I created a vb6 program that utilized the ntservices component, so that it can run in windows services, i also include a timer control so that the program will run on a specified time, BUT i setup to run at 6am in the morning, PROBLEM my program does not activate on the specified time, is this anything got to do in Windows XP environment, but when i restarted the services, then my program will run. any recommendation on how to troubleshoot this problem, many thanks

I have tried to re schedule it at 8am, and it works, but when i schedule it about 6am, it does not work again. hmm any recommendation how to troubleshoot this problem, i was suspecting if its got to do with the power management?

How are you using the Timer? Are you checking the current time every minute with it or did you sent the Interval to the difference in time between when the service starts and the target time?

Yeah, i was actually checking the time every minute, program actually should run once everyday at 6.00am. if the program checks if 6:00am or greater, then it should run some procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
6 or GREATER??? It sounds like you either don't have a flag, or are not handling the flag properly that says you executed the procedure, so you don't execute it twice in the same day. Do you have conditions that reset that flag in your code?

I have checked the code, you kinda right its something to do with flag property, i think the culprit is the timer control, because once the program executed, i actually set the Timer1.Enabled = False, then forgot to turn it back on after the process has been completed.
thanks. hopefully this works.

I've been posting this message like crazy on several .NET boards because I'm so stumped. You have to bear with me  . Anyway, I'm running into a problem when trying to use class interfaces from this library called Audiere. The library was written in C++ as virtual functions that were COM compatible. To use the interface you call a function in the DLL that returns a pointer to the interface (Factory?). They are bindings for Purebasic and Delphi that use the interfaces directly. I made a binding for the D language using interfaces that inherited from the IUnknown interface and it worked. Since .NET supports COM interop I thought this should work easily. I created the interfaces and marshaled them as IUnknown(I had to inherit from IUnknown to get it to work in D). I declared the functions in the DLL and had it return the interface. I tried to run it but it gives me a fatal error code. I tried to marshal the return type as UnmanagedType.IUnknown and UnmanagedType.Interface but it still fails. Is the interface code in .NET using a non standard vtable or something? I've included the code. Thanks.

The best bet with any C++ code that needs to be called by VB.NET/C# is a C++/CLI wrapper.

Hi! There,
Would like to know how to create a procedure that searches for a GIF or BMP folder (i.e graphical images and photos) in the computer and open it on a form.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Joseph

you can obtain a list of files that meet your needs
dim BMP() as string
BMP = Directory.GetFiles(searchpath, "*.bmp")
For opening the files, you could bind them to a picture box,
Dim MyImage as Bitmap
MyImage = New Bitmap(BMP(0))
pictureBox1.Image = CType(MyImage, Image)
of course there will need to be error checking done.

Thanks for your assistance but would like to ask you if this are Microsoft access Codes? if it is what version of Microsoft Access?
If not, Please assist me with Microsoft Access Codes to put a specific picture on an unbound object frame from pictures in a folder in the computer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Joseph.

1) PLEASE don't yell!
2) This has nothing to do with Access.
3) The resposne from KK should get you what you need. Just please use appropriate subject lines next time. I thought this was going to be an MS Access question.

Hi! There ,
Yes this is a Microsoft Access application question.
Otherwise if you have other formulas to solve my question, i would really appreciate.
Also i appreciate your corrections and anything else you think you should tell me coz this builds me alot. Thanks very much.

Is it possible to perform bit operations in VB6. I mean, like in VC++ there's the ">>" operator to move bits to the right direction, is it possible to do that in VB6?
Thanks in advance,

VB6 doesn't support bit-wisde shift operators. You'll have to do it using math operations. But, when doing the math, please keep in mind that VB6 also doesn't support Unsigned numeric types either!

Hi,
Can i create tables from vb6?
I tried it but i get this error if i use the provider- Jet 3.51 (for MS-Access) , if i use Jet 4.0 i do not get this error.
So does the syntax change when i use Jet 3.51?
ERROR:
"Invalid SQL statement, expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT' ,
or 'UPDATE'."
Alter,Update,Delete,Insert etc. work in Jet 3.51, only Create gives this error.
Can anyone tell me the syntax for create table in vb6 using Provider 3.51?
Right now my code reads like this;
sSql="CREATE TABLE Tab1(ID Number,Age Number)"
gCon.Execute sSql
Thanks in advance,
Sarah

Thanks for taking the time to answer my query.
I am coding in VB6 so i am thinking if the .net site would help me but i will give it a try.
Thanks again.
I get the error only if i use Jet 3.51 provider , I do not get it if i user Jet 4.0 provider,but i need it to work with Jet 3.51.
So please help if u know what is wrong with my syntax.

You might have to use ADOX back in the jet3.51 environment to do any DDL type stuf. I haven't used it since about 1997, so I forget.

If the database is SQL Server, then 'Number' is not a valid data type (use INT), otherwise, I don't know the answer.
