hi,
i try to send an email with attachment, but when the program fails to send out the mail, i can't delete the file (the file i wish to attach in the mail) in my local drive, i think it is locked when i am trying to send, i have used the code below to delete the file
For Each sSubstr In attach_string.Split(delim)<br />
If System.IO.File.Exists(sSubstr) = True Then<br />
Try<br />
System.IO.File.Delete(sSubstr)<br />
'MsgBox("File Deleted")<br />
Catch ex As IOException<br />
Label1.Text = ex.Message<br />
Finally<br />
End Try<br />
End If<br />
Next
i didn't catch any exception while debuging but it fails to delete the file, when i go to the path (where i the file is) to delete the file manually, windows tells me "Canot delete File: Access is Denied. Make sure the file is not ful or write protected or currently in use". Any idea how to fix that?

Try Disposing the SmtpMail object before you try to delete the file. There is no other method to "force" the filehandle to be released.

can you show me on how to dispose off the smtpmail object? because i couldn't find any dispose method or close there, thanks alot!
|

I'm sorry, it should have been the Message object, not the SmtpMail object.
Message.Dispose()

Hi,
I guess this one maybe a bit tough, but, does anyone know how to create a virtual com port? Or have any idea on how this can be done?
The aim is to create 2 ports with a virtual connection between them so that I can send data out one port for testing a program that recieves data from the other.
Thanks..

I want to access the "Data Link Property Layer" during runtime so that i could create a connection during deployment without editing the connection string value which is saved in a text file (which I usually do).
Anybody has an idea on how will i access Data Link Property and display it during run time?

First of all, what are you calling a "Data Link Property Layer"?? You can't run any of your applications code in the middle of its installation. Any configuration options should be stored in the apps config file. Your installer should ask for different options, install the app, then modify the configuration file(s) of the app.

"modify the configuration file(s) of the app."
I want this to be done in a GUI which is I thought It would be better if I can access the "Data Link Properties" GUI, from which I can select the Provider and the Data Source and save it to a file (might be .INI file or .XML file), so I don't have to edit the configuration file (app.config) file during deployment, which is also risky if you let somebody do the deployment because he might modify accidentally the other elements.

Are you talking about a dialog in the Visual Studio designer for setting the properties of a Connection object?
No, you can't get to it during the install. You have to provide some interface for this yourself.

Somebody know how to generate crystal report in vb.net programmatically!!!
I just want to know the codes on how to create a report from vb.net having a back-end ms access and using ado.net
|
|
|
|

i have also been trying to create crystal reports programatically like u. i s'pos what u mean is that u want to create a crystal report using the dataset u created and populated with data at runtime.
i think the only thing u can do is create the dataset by placing an apapter object from the toolbar. and populating the dataset using the fill method. then creating the report using that dataset.
if u want to do it programmatically i think u have to use temporary tables. wht i mean is u create a temp table in advance in your database then insert the data u want to display in the report at runtime. then create the report and display the data.(assume u know how to do it)
there is no other way to do it. i think. i have been trying it for some months now and i decided to finish the project i am doing the way i said. it works. so go ahead.

I have an existing vb.net application that runs on a local machine in our company. Currently, you must be at that machine in order to control it. I would like to add the ability to control some simple features from a browser on other machines on our intranet. However, I do NOT want to have to rewrite the application as an asp app or have it run on a web server. I also CANNOT break out the internal classes of this application into dlls.
Is it possible to *add* asp-type capabilities to this existing vb.net app? Any examples of a simple vb.net app doing so are appreciated.

So are you saying that you want to create a web app that doesn't run on a web server ? Your other alternative is to write a web server. That is a/ a lot of work and b/ meaning you'll still be running on a web server.
smarr wrote: Is it possible to *add* asp-type capabilities to this existing vb.net app?
The way to do this is to reuse your business logic, and write an ASP.NET presentation layer. You'll need to 'break' internal classes into a new project, if you can't put them in a dll, you'll need to just copy them. The resultant app will, by definition, need to be on a web server.

I believe I understand what you are saying--that adding asp capabilities to an existing vb.net app is not trivial (or possible?) and the "guts" of the app will need to be moved into an asp.net application. Correct?
I can live with a web server, and could probably incorporate one into the machine which is running this app. However, the application is far too complex to be easily ported to an asp application (or any other type, for that matter). The core logic is deeply ingrained into the application and could not be moved (easily) into a dll.

Mostly. It is in fact possible to add a web app to your existing project, but you'd have two vbproj files, and I think it's too messy to do it that way
smarr wrote: The core logic is deeply ingrained into the application and could not be moved (easily) into a dll.
I guess that makes this a lesson in application design Any half decent app should be written so that the business logic is easily divorced from the presentation layer. Too late for that now. If you can't seperate the two, then I guess your best bet is to build a web app and then add all the code you need from your application, so that you can access the business logic from the web pages.

If I have a dialog that has been opened from my main form using code such as this:
Dim frm As New frmService
frm.ShowDialog(Me)
how do I prevent the whole application being minimised if the dialog is minimised?

Set ShowDialogInTaskbar to true, which is the default.
