Is the config file in the same folder as the page that is trying to read it?? Are you sure you don't have more than one copy of the web.config file in the app? If you get "nothing" from these statements, it's because there either is no web.config file where it is supposed to be, is named improperly, or the XML document in the file is not written correctly.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. All yours points makes sense but none of them seem to be the reason behind my particular problem. This is a web service as well so it's not a page accessing the web.config file. The config file itself is in the correct folder and having reviewed the XML in the config file it appears to be correct.
Any other suggestions, at this stage, would be very welcome.
Thanks again, J

Hi all,
anyone knows how can I store a file into a blob field in Oracle? I'm using VB 2008 and adodb (v. 2.8) and oracle ver.9.2.0.1.0 I tried with some example downloaded from internet, but no one works fine. Any suggestion will be really appreciate.
Below you can see an example found in internet:
Public sub ImportFile(ByVal sFile as string)
Dim rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim st = New ADODB.Stream
rs.Open("Select * from doc_allegati where matricola = " & gMatricola, oConn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenKeyset, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockOptimistic)
st.Type = ADODB.StreamTypeEnum.adTypeBinary
st.Open()
st.LoadFromFile(sFile)
With rs
.AddNew()
.Fields("ID").Value = 1
.Fields("Documento").Value = st.Read
.Update()
End With
rs.close
st.close
end sub
This not work; when I try to open the recordset vb give me back an error message such as: 'data type not supported'
Thaks in advance for your help,
Filippo

Lucky me - I don't use Oracle at all.
But, a quick Google reveals a bunch of possiblities. Results...[^]

Hi Dave,
you are right, but into the example I need to use ODP.NET. Is it possible to manage this kind of field without install this?
Thanks,
Filippo

|

So, you looked at one example that used ODP.NET. There are others in that list that use other database providers that work with Oracle.

Keep reading through the results list and find out. This is what is called "research", and it's an integral part of any programming job.

Hi,
We have 'Primary Interop Assemblies' folder at the following path:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies"
How can we install them? or with which product we get these assemblies installed? any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,
Raheem MA

Primary Interop Assemblies would be supplied by the application that you want to interact with, such as Office 2003 or 2007. You can also download the PIA's seperately from Microsoft and run their installer.

Here is the IDL definition
[
object,
uuid(DAFB7D76-0158-452F-8FD0-FF97A683DEA3),
helpstring("ITest Interface"),
pointer_default(unique)
]
interface ITest : IUnknown
{
[helpstring("method GetString")] HRESULT GetString([out,retval] BSTR* pVal);
};
[
uuid(E768DC15-A19B-407C-ACF9-C420D6FDB1BE),
version(1.0),
helpstring("TestServer 1.0 Type Library")
]
library TESTSERVERLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
importlib("stdole2.tlb");
[
uuid(788571BD-030B-49CC-8C0A-2DF74E58331A),
helpstring("Test Class")
]
coclass Test
{
[default] interface ITest;
};
};
The ATL COM Library uses APARTMENT threading model.
And the VB.NET windows service code fragment
try
Dim obj As New TESTSERVERLib.Test
Dim s As String
s = obj.GetString()
Catch ex As Exception
WriteToLog(ex.Message)
WriteToLog(ex.InnerException.ToString)
End Try
When the code executes the following error occurs:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'TESTSERVERLib.TestClass' to interface type 'TESTSERVERLib.ITest'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{DAFB7D76-0158-452F-8FD0-FF97A683DEA3}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
But the same code works in VB.NET forms application.
Can anyone please explain the reason.

It appears that the problem comes down to the threading apartment model being used in your service app and your Windows Forms app. They appear to use different models.
You can check this by calling Thread.CurrentThread.AparmentState. It's either going to be STA ot MTA. Your COM component requires one threading model, and gets it under the Windows Forms app, but the service is using the other threading model.
|

|
|

The Apartment model in the VB.NET windows service is MTA. Whereas in the VB.NET forms application it is STA.
I experimented another method. I wrote a ATL component of type IDispatch interface. It works in both VB.NET forms application as well as VB.NET windows service.
The VB.NET windows service which I am going to write for my customer is a COM library using APARTMENT threading model. QueryInterface fails for all interfaces of type IUnknown. Can you elaborately explain the hidden details of why QueryInterface of type IUnknown fails in a VB .NET windows service and help me to make it work!
Thanks in Advance.

I have no idea. The internal working of COM are not my strong suit.

please help in this regard. give the visual basic code for this as soon possible.
calculate difference between 2 dates and 2 times and display in years, months ,days,hours minutes in vb 6
for eg: if start date is 01/01/2008 and statr time is 10.45 am
end date is 02/02/2009 and end time is 11.45 am
it should display as 1 year 1 month 1 day 1 hour 0 minuts

Nobody is going to do your homework!
I can tell you that you need to use DateDiff function.
Good luck

If your course is in VB6, you should abandon it, it's a fair sign that your teachers are clueless morons.

It keeps amazing me that there still are schools teaching this.
Couple days ago I answered very similar to you

Yeah, given that VB6 is obsolete, and VB.NET is free, I can only assume these guys are like the guys who used to teach C++, when they only really knew C.

I got the codes to send sms using VB and i came across these two sample codes.

Next, i have also copied the following codes below into my windows form. I'm not sure if i've pasted the codes in the write place but that is wat i have done.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SMSEngine = New SMSCOMMS("COM1")
SMSEngine.Open()
SMSEngine.SendSMS("919888888888", "SMS Testing")
SMSEngine.Close()
End Sub
The problem i faced is that the SMSEngine was not declared. How do i solve this?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

If you took the time to try and understand the code instead of just Copy'N'Paste what you don't understand and expecting it to work, then you would realize that this code uses a Postgres database for something that probably has nothing to do with sending SMS messages. It looks like you can get rid of those two lines and not worry about them.

haha. Thanks for your help. I'm new to visual basics and started only a few days ago, so i dun really get what some of the codes are used for. Sorry. haha. I need to use these codes to do a project.
Am i doin things the right way? like where i placed the codes in my program? How do i define or declare the SMSEngine in the codes? thanks

I have no idea hwere you placed any of this stuff in your app.
gjx_junxian1989 wrote: How do i define or declare the SMSEngine in the codes?
What SMS Engine? Your code snippet doesn't mention anything about an engine. Or are you saying that the code you posted IS the engine? If so, then your problems do not lie in knowing VB.NET, but the basic concepts of object oriented programming. These are design issues that I really can't walk you through in a forum post.

Hello,
We have a VB.Net program that uses GetObject() method. While executing the program, it gives the following exception.
"Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject(String PathName, String Class)"
The same program is executing successfully in our production environment but not in one of the development environment. We came to know that the program referring to STDOLE.DLL which is not there on the development machine where the program fails. Even if we copy the same dll on that machine, it is not working. How can we install Primary Interop Assemblies seperately? we do not want to install Visual studio.net.
Please let me know what are all the dlls required to use GETOBJECT() method in VB.Net program?
Thank you in advance,
Raheem MA
