A .NET app typically requires the presence of a specific .NET Framework version, not just any version. And not all versions are compatible with Windows 2000, see e.g. here[^]

The bigger question is why you're still running Windows 2000?? It was end-of-life at LEAST 2 to 6 years ago, depending on workstation or server edition. No security updates or fixes are possible for it anymore.

Support from Microsoft for Windows 2000 ended in juli 2010, and that doesn't mean that the product exits reality altogether.
Some people don't upgrade "just for upgrade sake". If it works, then don't touch it.

Yeah, but upgrading keep security patches coming. If you want to keep a vulnerable system running, I guess you shouldn't upgrade. Well, it'll keep running until someone finds it and exploits the holes.

Actually that deserves a downvote (though I did not).
When the management of a company decides that the program must be able to run on such old Windows, a software developer working for that company must fulfil that requirement. If he refuses to do so, he will be replaced by someone else who is not so stubborn...
Generally, a decision for such old systems or for programming in VB6 is not a decision of the individual developer but by somebody else!

Yes, I know that. It's also up to everyone to maintain the security of the system. If managemnet is unwilling to change, they get replaced to. Especially if someone breaks into their system with known security vulnerabilities.
If customers find out, they leave and no more company.
I know the system works. I've been riding in it for the last 30+ years.
Hell, I know of a bank that still runs crap on NT4! Do you think I put my money in there?!

No! You have to install the .NET framework. Windows 2000 does not come with any version of the .Net framework installed.

Nah i got a problem here, call it mini MicrosoftWord.
The problem is, whenever I show the form with RichTextBox inside it, the program freeze for three second (only the first time).
To handle that, i show and dispose the form when i'm on the splash form (with progress bar) so that it freeze while progessing.
Is it possible to show form but user don't see it?
Yes i mean to make it invisible.
I tried this way,
Dim form As New form()
form.Show()
form.Hide()
form.Dispose()
and this one too,
Dim form As New form()
form.Visible = False
form.Show()
Thankyou.

You could use the Opacity property.
But I'd suggest to find out why the form "freezes" instead of trying to hide that fact from the user. What do you do in e.g. The Form_Load event?
|
|

I know of two popular ways to get such a freeze:
1. you are performing a lengthy operation on the main thread, either in the Form's constructor, Load handler, or Shown handler.
2. you are performing an illegal access to a Control from another thread, which is simply not allowed and may result in all kinds of odd behavior.
if #1, consider delaying the long operation, by putting it off to a BackgroundWorker. if #2, fix your code (maybe see here[^]).

no, i used other component rich text box and i think it's too heavy to load on the first time.
that's why i'm going to load it on splash screen.
btw thankyou for the help, problem solved.

This is the craziest problem I've ever seen. I have a text file containing a line of financial data for each minute of the trading day -- 400/day. I extract 4 data for each minute, calculate a ratio for two of these data points, and print what I've extracted plus the calculated value as one line, comma delimited, to a final text file. I do this process line by line. All variables are zeroed out between loops.
The calculated value is a ratio, and when the ratio is below 1, it erratically prints to the file with an order of magnitude error -- e.g., 2.567 instead of .0267. This happens consistently inside a any one file when I repeat the routine, but NOT consistently among days. There is no pattern of frequency of occurrence within the file other than when I repeat the processing, the same minutes show the error. The errors are spread throughout the day's data. The only common factor is that for files showing the error, the denominator of the calculation is alway larger than the numerator. It never occurs when the numerator is larger.
I've stepped through those days showing the errors, watched the ratio values as they are calculated, and never see an error. It only appears in the printed file. Have also tried all kinds of formatting statements and the errors always appear, for the same minutes. I've examined the original data file and an intermediate processing file and can find no irregularities.
I guess my question is what could be happening in the Print to file process that causes this error? It appears with both the Print and Write statements.
Thanks for any ideas.

You might like to add the code you are using to your question (edit the original) including the details of any string formats you are using.

Without code, we would also have to guess. Mine would be a formatting-problem, a wrong interpretation of the decimal-separator.

any suggestion and help is highly valuable for me.

There's an example here[^]. They're using XML, but shouldn't be too hard to replace that with JSON.

Hello
I've been looking for some help with regard to using the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.GZip library to stream read embedded gz files (i.e. File1.tar.gz has a.tar.gz, b.tar.gz, etc). I can use this library to successfully read .gz files which do not contain embedded .gz files but it's been difficult finding a solution to read embedded files. The following is a snippet of what I currently have. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
For Each fi As FileInfo In di.GetFiles("*.gz")
fullPath = dirpath + fi.ToString
Dim gzips As GZipInputStream
gzips = New GZipInputStream(File.OpenRead(fullPath))
reader = New StreamReader(gzips)
Do While Not readLine Is Nothing
readLine = reader.ReadLine
Loop
|
|
|
|
|
Why the StreamReader?
Dim zipInStream as ZipInputStream = new ZipInputStream(fileStreamIn)
Dim entry as ZipEntry = zipInStream.GetNextEntry()

Hello people,
I wondering how you could encrypt a string a text in a textbox in 128-bit AES and also 256-bit AES (if applicable), and be able to de-crypt it (like binary code converting). It would also help if it was a few short lines of code or short as possible (if applicable).
Regards

In a Microsoft product? But seriously, there are lots of links to .NET encryption around, including .NET Encryption Simplified[^] in the CodeProject Articles section.
