At this point I have a NullReferenceException
The MonthCalendar starts to draw on my Test Form, but then I get the errors.
It points to line 73, 58, and 50
73 is in this function
Private Sub ConvertedAnonymousMethod2(ByVal [date] As HighlightedDates)
Dim g As Graphics
Dim backgroundRect = New Rectangle([date].Position.Y * dayBox.Width + 1, [date].Position.X * dayBox.Height + dayTop, dayBox.Width, dayBox.Height)
If [date].BackgroundColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using brush As Brush = New SolidBrush([date].BackgroundColor)
g.FillRectangle(brush, backgroundRect)
End Using
End If
If [date].Bold OrElse [date].DateColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using textFont As New Font(Font, (IIf([date].Bold, FontStyle.Bold, FontStyle.Regular)))
TextRenderer.DrawText(g, [date].[Date].Day.ToString(), textFont, backgroundRect, [date].DateColor, TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter Or TextFormatFlags.VerticalCenter)
End Using
End If
If [date].BoxColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using pen As New Pen([date].BoxColor)
Dim boxRect As New Rectangle([date].Position.Y * dayBox.Width + 1, [date].Position.X * dayBox.Height + dayTop, dayBox.Width, dayBox.Height)
g.DrawRectangle(pen, boxRect)
End Using
End If
End Sub
Line 58 is this line
highlightedDates.ForEach(AddressOf ConvertedAnonymousMethod2)
Line 50 is this
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As Message)
MyBase.WndProc(m)
If m.Msg = WM_PAINT Then
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(Me.Handle)
Dim pea As New PaintEventArgs(g, New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height))
OnPaint(pea)
End If
End Sub

Again, nowhere do you actually create an instance of a Graphics object. Normally, all of your painting is on in the Paint event and you get your Graphics object from the PaintEventArgs.
smurfman87 wrote: highlightedDates.ForEach(AddressOf ConvertedAnonymousMethod2)
Again, either highlightedDates is Nothing, or ConvertedAnonymousMethod2 is a delegate that points to Nothing.

I have no idea what you're doing with this code. This is normally handled by the base WndProc for you, so you're just reinventing the wheel here.

This was a sample of code that I found, I don't fully understand what is taking place. How would I avoid re-inventing the wheel,  any suggestions.
Regarding the overall code, it was originally written in C#, but I converted to VB - one reason was to understand it better, but even when trying to impliment the code in a C# example, it would not compile.
I found variables not defined and others defined that didn't need to be present.

This example was one where the g.FillRectangle was reporting that g was not defined. My mistake was adding the Dim g as Graphics.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
'Dim backgroundRect As Rectangle
highlightedDates.ForEach(AddressOf ConvertedAnonymousMethod2)
End Sub
Lets say I wanted to move the logic of this function "ConvertedAnonymousMethod2" in the OnPaint event calling that function and where the g as graphics is obviously flawed, and I wanted to move it into the OnPaint Event... what could you suggest?
Thanks

Here is where I am at.
I re-wrote the OnPaint Sub and included the logic from the ConvertedAnonymousMethod2 and changed the code the for the highlighteddates.foreach(addressof ConvertedAnonymousMethod2)
This is what I came up with...
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
'Dim backgroundRect As Rectangle
'highlightedDates.ForEach(AddressOf ConvertedAnonymousMethod2)
For Each [date] As HighlightedDates In highlightedDates
Dim backgroundRect = New Rectangle([date].Position.Y * dayBox.Width + 1, _
[date].Position.X * dayBox.Height + dayTop, _
dayBox.Width, dayBox.Height)
If [date].BackgroundColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using brush As Brush = New SolidBrush([date].BackgroundColor)
g.FillRectangle(brush, backgroundRect)
End Using
End If
If [date].Bold OrElse [date].DateColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using textFont As New Font(Font, (IIf([date].Bold, FontStyle.Bold, FontStyle.Regular)))
TextRenderer.DrawText(g, [date].[Date].Day.ToString(), _
textFont, backgroundRect, [date].DateColor, _
TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter Or TextFormatFlags.VerticalCenter)
End Using
End If
If [date].BoxColor <> Color.Empty Then
Using pen As New Pen([date].BoxColor)
Dim boxRect As New Rectangle([date].Position.Y * dayBox.Width + 1, _
[date].Position.X * dayBox.Height + dayTop, _
dayBox.Width, dayBox.Height)
g.DrawRectangle(pen, boxRect)
End Using
End If
Next
End Sub
So the whole thing compiles and I can add my ExtendedMonthCalendar as an object on my test form. And it draws a calendar - with no errors.
So this becomes where I am totally dumb.
The control appears on the form, but I can't do anything with it. Ie, I have non of the original functionality of the MonthCalendar control, and I can't even code into my form the adding of dates.
The other whacky thing is that the Hard Coded Date example in the New sub, ie December 1, 2008 is always at position of top left of the calendar control and is behaving weird.
As always I apprecaite the learning.

I have inherited a web scraper where I work that scrapes down information from a site that we work with a lot, so we don't have to always log into the site and download/upload information manually.
It goes out and grabs the web page, and loads it locally into an mshtml.HTMLDocument. The company that keeps up this site has apparently added AJAX to the website, so I am now getting an error (ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load.) when trying to write to the HTMLdocument, which appears to be coming from the "if (typeof(Sys) === 'undefined') throw new Error('ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load.');" line on the page.
Private Function GetHTMLBody(ByVal pHtml As String) As IHTMLElement2
Dim myDoc As mshtml.IHTMLDocument2 = New mshtml.HTMLDocument
Dim elmBody As mshtml.IHTMLElement
Dim elmBody2 As mshtml.IHTMLElement2
'initialize the document object within the HTMLDocument class...
myDoc.close()
myDoc.open("about:blank")
'write the HTML to the document using the MSHTML "write" method...
Dim clsHTML() As Object = {pHtml}
myDoc.write(clsHTML)
clsHTML = Nothing
elmBody = myDoc.body()
elmBody2 = DirectCast(elmBody, IHTMLElement2)
myDoc.close()
Return elmBody2
End Function
Above is the function that is causing the problem. The error occurs on the "myDoc.write(clsHTML)" line.
If anybody could give me some direction on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have stripped this down to a very basic html page of the following:
<pre><html>
<body>
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="PortalLogin.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fportal%2fetaportal.asp%3fapp%3dCWA" id="aspnetForm">
<script src="/ETASSOPortal/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd?_TSM_HiddenField_=ctl00_RadScriptManager1_HiddenField&compress=1&_TSM_CombinedScripts_=%3b%3bSystem.Web.Extensions%2c+Version%3d3.5.0.0%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d31bf3856ad364e35%3aen-US%3a94b8a2b4-5efc-4f4c-9641-d912b698978d%3a52817a7d%3bTelerik.Web.UI%2c+Version%3d2008.2.1001.35%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d121fae78165ba3d4%3aen-US%3a9638cb27-0c96-4947-a8f4-d97afe664a61%3a393f5085%3a34f9d57d%3a5edc7ae2%3a251a9451%3a526d426%3a81330300%3ac6335cbd" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
if (typeof(Sys) === 'undefined') throw new Error('ASP.NET Ajax client-side framework failed to load.');
//]]>
</script>
<strong>Looky Here</strong>
</body>
</html></pre>
And it appears the actual line that is causing the problem is the line of "<script src =......". When I added this line, my small example produced the same error as my original post, and then when I take it out, the error goes away.
Anybody know what might be causing this error?

The System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class is what you need.
There are several articles about it here on CP.

It is not too bad for a first message. You even managed to publish formatted code, something that is rare in the VB forum for unknown reasons.
[EDIT]Breaking up your SQL statement to reduce the source width would have made things more readable though...[/EDIT]
FYI: you can still edit your message, after you have posted it. And you can reply to it if you want to add information. There is no need to start a new thread at all, keep it all together, that is easier to all of us.

Hello experts,
I am really stumped on this one. I have a VB6 front end tool to log in customer queris and the corresponding resolutions with start and end timestamps, customer name,email, phone number etc. Each customer interation is logged into the database via the application into the database and needs to be tagged with a unique ID.
The requirement is that I need to generate the ID every time a new case is logged in the program and save the information to a temporary table first and then push it to the main table. this is ecause there are multiple users for the application and in order to avoid dupliation of the Case ID I have used the "idReturn" sub procedure to find the last updated ID and increment it to log a new case in the table.
The problem is that the new case ID does not enerate in spite of the procedure I added , because the query in subprocedure "cmdUpdate_Click()" does not update the main table form the temporary table. Easch user would run an instance of the application from his or her own systema nd according to the a parameter set from the login form, another field called "RepID" will be updated in the table whe they log a case by clicking on the "Update" Command button after which the next Case Id should be generated. i guess I am kinda looking for a Token system to make sure that when a record has been updated with a unique case ID, the next user to press the update button to log a case should e given the next new unique ID dynamically created to store in the database.
Any suggestions? Or could someone please direct me to some examples of Multi_user database programs in VB6 with similar record lock criteria?
I can send anyone the source code if they wish to analyse it further.
The database record would look like this
ID Date Month Weekday Time Originator CustName.. etc

The problem with generating the case ID first is that two users can get caseIDs before either one is written to the database. Your primary key shouldn't be generated and should NOT be calculated until the record using it is written to the database. You don't checkout a case ID first, you get it last, after certain minimum data is written to the database.
Also, Access is NOT a good candidate for a multiuser database. Yes, there are people around here who will argue that point, but I've supported too many of these and had to fix too many problems with them to given these people any credit.

Hello Dave,
Thank you very much for your input. I tried it. First, I had the user form update the temporary table via ADODC control and then wrote a query to insert the record to the main table from the temporary table. Then I used the data1.recordset.delete method to delete the temporary table.
The problem is the data is not transferrin from the temporary table to the main table but the temporary table is deleted. The result is that there is no addition to the main table.
Could you help me with this please?
Regards,
Kumar

Simple, don't use a temporary table. You're just needlessly making more "round trips" to the database and doing stuff that isn't really buying you anything.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I just created a record off the fly and used it to retrieve the ID with minimum value and "Flag=N" meaning it has ot been used for ay update. Then , I insert the data based on the text fields in my form. then I change the "Flag" field to 'Y' to say that this particular record has been used and use the followind method. Then I used the "idreturn" method to return the lowest value of ID with Flag=N. Worked like a charm!!! Absolutely no multi-user conflicts since each user would be opening a different record at the same time.

Thanks for your support.

That's all well and good, but what if a second user runs the same query and it shows up exactly between the time user number 1 runs that query, and then runs the query to change the flag to 'N'? Trust me, it IS going to happen. Flags like this just don't work in a multiuser environment. If the operation requires more than a single step (query) to "checkout" an ID, you will end up with this problem. Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but even a year from now, it's bound to show up. The chances of it happening also increase with the inevitable increase in the number of users using this database.

Hello all,
I need a small help in resolving an error

I am usingthe code,
MkDir ("c:\moved\PK3\" + str(Hour(SystemTime)) + "." + str(Minute(SystemTime)) + " " + str(Day(Systemdate)) + "_" + str(Month(Systemdate)) + "_" + str(Year(Systemdate)))
for creating a folder inside " c:\moved\PK3\ "
Most of the time its work fine. But some times an error will come as "Path/file access error".
Its not happen often . How to resolve this error?
Thanks and regrds

Post the full exception detail include the full message, stack trace and everything else.
From the info you've given my best guess is that you are trying to create a directory that already exists. (because you've already run the method once in this minute)

Ya Simon, U are right. whn i tried to run the code in minute less time only the the problem come..Thanks for your information
