Hi, i want to change the width of the scrollbar programmatically. I found that using SystemParametersInfo API call, usingSPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS /SPI_SETNONCLIENTMETRICS , we can do that.
But i dont have the complete information.
Do you guys have some idea about that?

It would be great if you could provide me code or give me an idea on increasing the default scroll bar width because i dont have good knowledge on WinAPI stuffs.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to upload an *.xml file to my server and this is the code I'm using. The problem I have is that I get a 403 error every time, even though my folder permissions are correct and my authentications are correct as well. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong with my code.
If File.Exists("C:\Documents and Settings\Denis\Desktop\GetFileTest\test.xml") Then
Dim remoteUri As String = "http://www.site.com/folder/"
Dim fileName As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\Denis\Desktop\GetFileTest\test.xml"
' Create a new WebClient instance.
Dim myWebClient As New WebClient
myWebClient.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password", "http://www.site.com/")
Try
' The UploadFile() method uploads the current file to the Web resource-system folder.
myWebClient.UploadFile(remoteUri, fileName)
Label.Text = "Done!"
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try
Else
Label.Text = "No Go!"
End If
Thanks for any help

You're specifying the domain as a URI. What this parameter should contain in the domain of the credentials you type into the Username/Password/Domain box when it shows up, if you did this manually. The domain it wants is the Windows domain where the User account is stored, not a URI. For most public websites, the domain box is left blank. So, try it without the domain parameter.
myWebClient.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the explaination.  I did try it without the domain but it still gave me the same 403 error. I'm quite puzzled, this should work. Could it be something wrong with my server? I can upload files through an ftp program, is there a way to upload a file through ftp within the 1.1 framework?

I have a query regarding remote SQL Server Connection in VB.Net . Let me exlain you the scenario. A company has two branches in two different cities. Let it be CityA and CityB. CityA holds the Server Machine on which a SQL Server is installed and running. CityB wants to connect to SQL Server running at CityA. But make sure that both of these use only internet to communicate. Moreover, SQL Server is not running on a web server or intranet scenario. Please help !!!

This has nothing to do with VB.NET, but everything to do with your companies network infrastructure. You never, Never, NEVER expose an SQL Server directly to the Internet. You'll have a smoking heap of a server in about a day when every little script-kiddie recognizes what it is.
You always put these servers behind as much security as possible. If you can't get your own T1 line between sites, you'll have to use the Internet and setup virtual private networking between sites. This will keep the data going between sites, including SQL Server traffic, secured and hidden from the prying eyes of the Internet.
Setting up the hardware and software for a VPN connection is way beyond the scope of these forums.

Hi,
I am working on ASP application and I want to send a scheduled email by daily. Can any body help me to sort out the issue.
Thank

You have posted into the wrong forum, but to answer your question, you can't. You could add a task to your windows scheduler the executes daily that launches an asp page which in turn sets the email to you, or write a windows service and install in on your server.

I often see postings in this forum, where it is stated "I am developing in VB6". Why are they still developing in VB6?
It seems to me that any new developments should now be done in VB2005/8 and if it is a new or replacement module/class for a legacy VB6 program, then still write it in VB.NET and make it COM visible and reference it from the VB6 app.
Am I missing something? Are my assumption wrong?

Possibly they have no choice. I see often job postings where companies are asking for VB6 skills (I even got one yesterday). So until companies give it up people will still need to ask questions on forums.

Companies have large code-bases written in VB6. They see the short-term expense of rewriting that code in VB.NET and don't migrate because of it. Though, they also ignore the ever increasing costs of maintain legacy code too.

You would think the "drunken lemurs" ( errr, managers ) would look at the short term cost of porting to VB.NET be more cost effective than maintaining the VB6...

Wish it is that simple.

Until the guys who's paying for the system are convinced and willing to redo the system...
Look, we have a system, written in Delphi 5, each sub module is one exe, and there are hundreds of them, from A01 to G99, that are used by a few branches in different country, each having different business logic, and as such each branches are having the similar but not the same A01.exe-G99.exe, same for the database, enhancement is done by copy the exe and change from there, every queries are embedded in the form, and you must look at each form to look at the SQL statement, the way of passing variable is to make in-memory temp tables, then call SQL to retrieve the values from the temp tables, the database field are all user defined type for no apparent reason and benefit, date is stored as integer, money is stored as integer after mutiplied by 10000, rates are stored as integer after multiplied by 100, 10000 or 1000000 depends on the mood of the programmer, language support on a platform that doesn't support multi-languages, functions are duplicated all over the places...
Simply put, the style of the system was done in the fashion in the dBase era.
I would make a new system in a heartbeat, if I have the say. But until the people who's paying for the system are ready to remake that pile of doo-doo, the system needs to be maintained as it is.
Good thing I am not the one who's maintaining it....

Even if you quit, someone else would be hired to maintain it.
Systems are usually replaced when it can no longer support the business, or the cost of maintaining it is way too high. Rarely it's due to "it's written in horrible language".

Only the businesses can estimate that. I was maintaining a 16-bit VC++ 1.5 app. only 4 years ago. How long ago was that a dead product?

It is not always easy to rewrite an application in such a fashion as to behave identically to an old one. If end users have grown accustomed to all sorts of little nuances in an old application, it may be difficult to ensure that all such nuances come through in a rewrite, especially if the earlier inclusion of such nuances was not done systematically but rather on an ad-hoc basis.
When doing such a rewrite, it can be hard to avoid a sort of 'limbo', where customers whose system works are reluctant to switch to a comparatively untested new system. Without customer assistance in testing the new system, it may be difficult to get it to the point that customers are happy switching to it.
