Because someone couldn't get out of their VB6 mind set when they wrote it.

What is the equivalent now though? If they were doing FileOpen(86, whatever) what is the equivalent in 2.0? Actually I dont understand how they were actually doing anything with that file by just opening it.

All the Stream-based classes under the System.IO namespace[^].
And they were doing anything with the file just by opening it.

I want the coding in Visual Basic to convert the wmv format to mpg format

Noone is just going to hand you the code, and it's not that easy to write either. There isn't just a couple of lines of code you can paste into your app and your done...
You might want to start by Googling for "VB6 DirectShow" or "VB6 Video Encoding" for some examples...

I am migrating the vb project from vb6.0 to vb.net framework.when i am trying to migrate the api function its showing the error in any the below function.
Declare Function CopyString Lib "kernel32" Alias "lstrcpy" (hdest As Any, hsource As Any) As Long
in this function vb.net dosent support any as keyword.give me some solution for solving the above problem..
pls reply me as soon as possible
|

"As Any" was a bad idea in VB6 and there is no need whatsopever for it in VB.Net - instead declare an overloaded version of the function for each of the data types you are going to pass to the API.

On top of what Duncan posted, CopyString has some SERIOUS limitations on it's use in the .NET Framework. Since an object can be moved at any time, CopyString can be passed invalid addresses unless the objects invloved are pinned in place.
What does this function do that you require the use of CopyString??

I ahve a rich text box on my form and I want it to, when you add text to it I want the program to dispaly the file size it will be when it is saved (hTM or RTF. i want it to display this on lblfilesize label.
In the end we're all just the same

|

About the closest you're going to get, without actually saving the file to do it, is to use the length of the RTF property.
Dim length As Integer = RichTextBox1.Rtf.Length

In vb6 exist a function called FileLen, who return the filesize in bytes, i don't know if this function exist in vb.net but i belive what yes.
Cuando salga el sol, no estare aqui...
|
|
|
|
|
Useless if the file was never saved.

I have made a program and it has a Rich Text Box. I have a button called "TblBtn" and when its clicked I want it to insert text at the cursor location on the Rich Text Box. Using VB 2005. Any advice?
In the end we're all just the same

You might want to try something like this:
rtb.SelectionStart = 100;
rtb.SelectionLength = 0;
rtb.SelectedText = "text to insert"

Dim stream As FileStream
Dim tmpstr As String
Dim myFileName As String
Dim myFile As System.IO.FileInfo
myFileName = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
tmpstr = path_name & "\" & myFileName
myFile = New System.IO.FileInfo(fileName:=tmpstr)
stream = File.Create(tmpstr)
Dim info As Byte() = New UTF8Encoding(True).GetBytes("hello")
' Add some information to the file.
stream.Write(info, 0, info.Length)
sream.Close()
it's wokin when im going to read "hello".
bt when im goin 2 read the file's content,instead of "hello".
it's nt done...
plzzzz giv me advice wht 2 do?

Uhhh...This is very confusing. The code you posted doesn't read anything. It writes a string of bytes to a file and that's about it.

hi. i am trying to read data from usb through vb.net but i am not getting any success. please write to me the code for reading data through usb.plz send reply to <ronaktamboli@gmail.com>

That's because you don't read anything from USB. It's a bus, not a port. You read data from the devices attached to the USB bus, but how you do that depends entirely on the device itself and what methods it's driver exposes.

I've not used Crystal for many years - but I seem to remember that there was an option for executing a "pass-through" query that would allow you to use native SQL-Server syntax (ie. "EXEC MyStoredProc 'ABC'").

I am trying to send an email using my program. How Many ways are ther to do it? Which is the best way, currently i have:
Dim m As New MailMessage(FromtextBox.Text, ToTextBox.Text, SubjectTextBox.Text, BodyTextBox.Text)<br />
Dim a As New Attachment(My.Settings.CurrentList)<br />
Dim c As New SmtpClient<br />
m.Attachments.Add(a)<br />
c.Host = ""<br />
c.Send(m)
My main problem however is that i have no host info, is there anyway to access the host information on the machine the program is running on and, if not, is there an alternative, other than manuel user entry?
