Heheh...That's why I didn't want to go that route. It's a lot of work that is for temporary use. Oddly, though, I had already set up a logging system for this program to write to a text file at key points in the code, so that any customers who buy my program could send me that file if they run into any bugs. The only thing missing are the time stamps. So, come to think of it, since it's already in place, it's not such a big deal to add time stamps.
As for the two profilers I located:
This one is free, but appears tailored to AMD chips:
http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-codeanalyst-performance-analyzer/
This company has a free version of their product, but didn't have time to check what it's limitations are:

hello everyone,
is there anyone could help me to this problem, I have downloaded a module file which is (exifReader), then I apply it to my system code. when I browse an image from a folder or file when I click the a button to show the properties of the image and put it to some textbox, I got this error saying " run time error 9 , Subcription out range",
this is the code for showing the properties of the image :
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Picture1.Picture = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Insert Image First")
Else
Text6.Text = CommonDialog1.FileName
Text3.Enabled = False
Dim objexif As New ExifReader
objexif.Load (Text6.Text)
Text2.Text = objexif.Tag(GPSLongitude)
Text3.Text = objexif.Tag(GPSLatitude)
Text4.Text = objexif.Tag(GPSInfo)
Text5.Text = objexif.Tag(DateTimeOriginal)
Text2.Enabled = False
Text6.Enabled = False
Text3.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub
//*******
and this the module part of code where the error shows.
Private Function InspectJPGFile() As Boolean
Dim i As Long
If ExifTemp(0) <> &HFF And ExifTemp(1) <> &HD8 Then
InspectJPGFile = False
Else
///this line is having error, subscription out of range///
For i = 2 To UBound(ExifTemp) + 1
If ExifTemp(i) = &HFF And ExifTemp(i + 1) = &HE1 Then
Offset_to_APP1 = i
Exit For
End If
Next
If Offset_to_APP1 = 0 Then
InspectJPGFile = False
End If
Offset_to_TIFF = Offset_to_APP1 + 10
Length_of_APP1 = _
ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 2) * 256& + _
ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 3)
If Chr(ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 4)) & Chr(ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 5)) & _
Chr(ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 6)) & Chr(ExifTemp(Offset_to_APP1 + 7)) <> "Exif" Then
InspectJPGFile = False
Exit Function
End If
InspectJPGFile = True
End If
if the codes are not enough to analyze please tell me and I post all the code for exifreader class module, any idea and help are really appreciated. thanks..
by the way I use Visual basic 6.0.. ^_^

You shouldn't be using VB^ for any new development as the language has been dead and unsupported for years now.
But, look at your For loop and the bounds you used. You're asking it to give you the upperbound of the ExifTemp array, and then you're adding 1 to it. Uh, it just told you that the upper bound is this value and you ignored it and tried to go higher than that. You cannot index into an array higher than the upper bound it just gave you!

hi
i'm doing the vb project
how to record the videos and saving the videos in vb6
please send the codes
|
|
|
|
|
Firstly you don't want to be doing this in VB6 - it's an unsupported language.
Using VB.NET would be better (I'd use C# but that's just my preference).
Secondly you can't record videos in any language ... but you can interface to a camera - exactly how may depend on which camera you use.
This article does some stuff with a webcam - it's in C# but there are plenty of ways of converting into VB for free (look on Google)

Hi All,
i have an Excel which contains 25 columns.Treating it as source file,i need to generate a report which needs to display 3 columns ,also i need to evaluate some calculations and need to display in a newly created column..
Requestname,status and validity.i need to display only these columns in my report.In addition to that i need to calculate the num of requests based on the status/validity values and need to display in seperate column "number of requests".
also we need to calculate the difference between the time based on two columns(format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm) and put in a seperate column to display.
If this is the wrong window,please suggest me the apt place to post.

Well, you have told us what your requirements are, but not what the problem is that you are facing. If you are expecting someone to write the code for you, you have come to the wrong place.

Hi everybody, am going to show you a sample program which enables to print the contents of a datagridview, the program works properly despite a minor error which occurs before the printing is done it says OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT, although it does not prevent the program from meeting the purpose. i would like to share it with you, and atleast we can discus on how to remove that error.
The program is based on the customers table of the Northwind Database.

Use your debugger to locate the exact point at which the error occurs and then show just that portion of code (within <pre> tags), and the content of all the local variables. Although, the debugger will clearly show you which object reference has not been initialised.
Use the best guess

We have samples on datagridprinters in the Article-section. This isn't a sample, it's a code-dump with a question. Let's focus on the question and solving it, shall we?
Instead of showing "exc.Message", try "exc.ToString()"; that way the messagebox will show on which line the error occured. That'd be easier in tracing the exception than reading the entire code and checking each line.

My class is now over. I had an issue with the the assignment. I couldn't get the program to find and display the duplicate random numbers. I've looked for almost two weeks for an answer and I'm hoping that someone here can help me.
This was the assignment:
Present the following report – (you will modify this based on user input and the actual rolls.
Number of dice:2
Number of sides:6
Number of rolls:2
Dice 1 Roll 1 = 5
Dice 2 Roll 1 = 6
Dice 1 Roll 2 = 1
Dice 2 Roll 2 = 1
Number of rolls where all dice were the same: 1
I got everything but the number of rolls where all the dice were the same. Can someone please advise me as to how this should have been done?
Here is a snippet of what I did:
'Start the randomization process
Dim RandomClass As New Random() 'Our random number generator
Dim vRoll() As Integer 'User entered variable for the array
ReDim vRoll(nDice) 'dynamic number entered by the user
Dim cntDice As Integer = 0
Dim myArray As New List(Of Integer)
Dim temp As Integer
myArray.Clear()
'Get the number of rolls and the number of dice and then randomize the rolls.
For i As Integer = 1 To rRoll
For j As Integer = 1 To nDice
temp = RandomClass.Next(1, dSize + 1)
LST_Items.Items.Add("Dice " & j & " Roll " & i & " = " & temp.ToString)
If Not myArray.Contains(temp) Then
cntDice += 1
LBL_Same.Text = cntDice
Else
LBL_Same.Text = "0"
End If
Next
Next
So if anyone is willing to give me advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

First, you don't need that List. You're not trying to remember every single die roll.
Second, you never compare the roll of the first die to the roll of the second. Once you do that, you simply increment a counter that tracks how many times both dice are equal.
Third, you don't need two for loops, just one.
|
|
|
|
|
You could also sort the list first, then duplicates would show up next to each other.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't need the list at all. Gen the first number on the roll and remember it. For each subsequent die, check it's value against the first die. Finding a non-dupliate is very easy. If you get through the loop withouting finding a non-duplicate, well, you know.

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to have a list/collection of objects that inherit from a single base object without losing Intelli-sense?
Here is an example of what I mean...
Public Class baseblob
Private _position As PointF
Property position
Get
Return _position
End Get
Set(value)
_position = value
End Set
End Property
Sub New()
position = PointF.Empty
End Sub
End Class
Public Class blob
Inherits baseblob
Sub moveRight(ByVal Distance As Single)
position = New PointF(position.X + Distance, position.y)
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Form1
Dim blob As New blob
Dim blobs As New List(Of baseblob)
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
blob.moveRight(10)
MsgBox(blob.position.x)
blobs.Add(blob)
MsgBox(blobs(0).position.x)
blobs(0).moveright(10)
MsgBox(blobs(0).position.x)
End Sub
End Class
... but of course in the above example i get
'moveright' is not a member of 'oopTest.baseblob'
So it wants me to use
Dim blobs As New List(Of Object)
So it will compile and work as intended...
I just wanted to know is there something I'm missing here? Why can't I just let it know that it's a base object and to list all the possible methods/properties etc of the base class and also any objects that inherit the base class? Give me the lot!
To me it doesn't sound like such a hard thing to ask of the compiler/dev environment... why cant it do it ?

The method shows up.
In VB.NET, the default access modifier for a class method is Public. In C# it's private.
You'd be better served by not depending on the defaults but explicitly declaring your access levels. Also, your naming convention isn't exactly clean and understandable either. In your example, how do to tell the difference between a variable called blob and your class called blob?? It should look more like:
Public Class BaseBlob
Private _position As PointF
Public Property Position
Get
Return _position
End Get
Set(value)
_position = value
End Set
End Property
Sub New()
Position = PointF.Empty
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Blob
Inherits BaseBlob
Public Sub MoveRight(ByVal distance As Single)
Position = New PointF(Position.X + distance, Position.y)
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Form1
Private blob As New Blob
Private blobs As New List(Of BaseBlob)
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
blob.MoveRight(10)
MsgBox(blob.Position.x)
blobs.Add(blob)
MsgBox(blobs(0).Position.x)
blobs(0).MoveRight(10)
MsgBox(blobs(0).Position.x)
End Sub
End Class
You can't tell Intellisense to show all members from every class inheriting from a base class. It's not showing you the members of Blob because you told it the collection was a collection of BaseBlob, not Blob. Do you see a member on BaseBlob called MoveRight?? Nope. So it's not going to show any members that inherit from classes that inherit from BaseBlob because none of them are valid! MoveRight is not applicable to a collection member of blobs because you're are treating the objects in the collection as if they were BaseBlob object. It's telling you that if you try to use one of those members, the compile will fail!

Thanks for the naming scheme advice. What I use for my project is a lot easier. It was just a quick example. I should have made it easier to read, sorry.
My primary issue is that I need to have multiple class objects that behave differently (playership, enemy drone, missile etc) held in a single container so that my main loop can enumerate through them all.
For example.
For i as integer = 0 to blobs.count - 1
blobs(i).AiTick
blobs(i).Move
blobs(i).Draw
Next i
The only way I could find to do this was to create a base class with the ai/move/draw methods in it and have different classes inherit from the base class and over-ride the base class's methods.
The main issue i have is that these classes that inherit from the base class occasionally have extra methods. I would like to see those when i'm coding things like blobs(0).ExtraMethod like i can for the base class.
I guess what i'm asking isn't possible.
If ClassA inherits BaseClass and ClassB inherits BaseClass but ClassA also has an extra method called "ExtraMethod" then I already run the risk of accidently executing ExtraMethod on the item in the collection that is ClassB and causing an exception. I deal with that issue already in my code, so i don't understand why the dev environment is perfectly fine with me making a list(of Objects) and running List(0).ExtraMethod ... however when I ask it to have a list of BaseClass it doesnt goto the effort of listing what's availiable in any classes that inherit from BaseClass.
I guess I will just continue to have a list(of Object) instead of a list(of BaseClass) and continue running extra methods from classes that inherit from BaseClass as I currently do by first checking the object type.

It's not possible because you're trying to violate Object Oriented Programming principles.
You're putting the Move method in one object, when it actually applies to all of the objects. You have to Move the Player, Move the Missle, Move the EnemyDrone, ... Don't use a rather specific MoveRight method. It should be Move and take some kind of value(s) to tell it where to or how far to move. That should go in the Base object that these other objects inherit from.
The same is true for the Draw method. Every object should draw itself, so you pass in a Graphics object that it uses to draw itself on. This is common for every object you mentioned, so it should go in the Base object they are inheriting from, not the specific objects.
By the way, in your case, if you try to execute a method on an object that doesn't implement it, you don't get an exception. You get a compile-time error as the code will not compile.

Thanks Dave.
Quote: The same is true for the Draw method. Every object should draw itself, so you pass in a Graphics object that it uses to draw itself on. This is common for every object you mentioned, so it should go in the Base object they are inheriting from, not the specific objects.
The PlayerShip class draws a circle, the Missile class draws a triangle and the EnemyDrone class draws a square. How would i know how to depict each different class type if the drawing was done in the base class? Instead of having a MustOverRide .Draw method in the base class that each of the child-classes over-ride ?

You either have to have that "must override" method or you have to have an interface that every object implements that says justabout the same thing.
You MUST implement something that tells the compiler that "this method is expected in this class" so that you can call it no matter what the class really is.
The drawing is NOT done in the base class. It just provides a "must override" method so that each class can implement it's own drawing code, but since each drawing method implements the exact same method signature, outside code can call it without knowing exactly which type of class it is.

I am currently trying to convert a String that is gotten from an input box to an Integer using the Try Parse method. The integer is then supposed to be used to fill an array named international. Here is the part of the code that pertains to this:
Dim Count As Integer
For Count = 0 To international.Length - 1
international(Count) = Integer.TryParse(InputBox("Keep entering the sales for each month. If nothing typed, will be interpeted as zero", "New data entry"))
Next Count
I am getting the error message: Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'TryParse' accepts this number of arguments.
How do I fix this?
