Last night I woke up and figured Richard's answer myself, but this is the "one-liner" that I was after.
Thanks Eddy !
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

So I have not looked at VB since before linq was invented.

How do I keep a class object "alive" in a Windows Service?
I have a simple class object (clsWatcher) that monitors a folder using an instantiation of the FileSystemWatcher class. It works great. When a change is made to the folder being "watched" it triggers a log entry.
When I use the clsWatcher as a form-level object in a standard Windows Forms EXE, it works perfectly as long as the windows form is open. When the form closes, it dies and no watching is done. Perfect.
When I transfer this class to a SYSTRAY application, it continues to work correctly. As long as the SYSTRAY application is not exited, the clsWatcher works properly. When I exit the SYSTRAY application, it dies and no watching is done. Perfect.
When I transfer this class to a Windows Service, it does not work as desired. The service starts, the clsWatcher instantiates, and then the service "finalizes" and the clsWatcher dies even though the service is still "started" and no errors were logged (I have an Application Log feature to send messages that can be observed during start up and errors.)
How do I keep the service/application "running" in order to keep the instantiated clsWatcher object alive?

What does that mean? Does the service crash? Is yourservice.exe still in the list of processes in the task manager ("show processes of all users")?

Create an infinite loop (and exit if Windows is shutting down). A service doesn't have a loop that keeps the app alive until someone "closes" it, as it should not be closed.

I have a very similar windows service that does exactly what you are describing.
Dim watcher As New FileSystemWatcher()
watcher.Path = gsWatcherPath
watcher.NotifyFilter = (NotifyFilters.LastAccess Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite Or NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.DirectoryName)
watcher.Filter = "*.txt"
AddHandler watcher.Created, AddressOf OnChanged
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = True
Private Sub OnChanged(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As FileSystemEventArgs)
Call ProcessFile_Master(e.FullPath)
End Sub
Once you instantiate the FileSystemWatcher, there is nothing else to do, no loops, nothing extra.
The Sub, OnChanged, gets fired for each file that is changed in the "watched" directory.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to write code for multiple if/and statements, but don’t really know how. Any help would be very much appreciated!
I need the code to loop through these statements and enter the correct information in cell M5.
IF C9= ”SHIP EXACT” AND G13<c13, then="" m5="”ENTER" remake”
if="" c9="”" no="" backorders="" on="" stock="" unless="" zero="" were="" shipped”="" and="" g13<c13,="" remake="" required”
if="" ship="" tolerance”="" g13="" c13="">10%, then M5= “ENTER REMAKE”
IF C9= ”5% Ship Tolerance” AND G13/C13>5%, then M5= “ENTER REMAKE”

First, phase them in your natural language, such as English:
If I score 90 and above,
then my grade is 'A'
Else If I score 80 and above (but below 90 - this one can be omitted as it would have been considered in the first if statement)
then my grade is 'B'
else If I score 70 and above
then my grade is 'C'
...
Else (last condition no need to have condition, it is understood to be none of the above)
the my grade is 'F'
Finally, print out my grade
Once you are satisfied with these statement, then translate them to vb.net code.
refer: If...Then...Else Statement (Visual Basic)[^]
|
|
|
|
|
You should use
if [condition] then
[result]
else if [condition2] then
[result2]
end if
Since when is being together a prerequisite for being in love with someone?

on my previous post, i'm asking help for making .gif using different images in one picturebox. And to my latest post, i'm asking how can i save .gif(in picturebox) as .gif to mydocuments/computer. It's totally different although its related to ".gif"
|

You could use the following code to save a GIF image in a Picture Box(PictureBox1)
PictureBox1.Image.Save(SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments + "\MyGif.gif", ImageFormat.Gif)
Note: Import the following
System.Drawing.Imaging
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO
|
|
|
|
|
Where in the above code is the part that saves the image? Please do not just dump a lot of code and expect us to work out what it is supposed to do; provide proper detailed explanation.

No. That's not how it works around here.
We'll help you with problems with YOUR code, but not write it for you.
You're not writing our code for us while we're writing your code for you, so...

Hello !
I'm using Entity framework 6 with Sql server 2008r2.
But I have noticed that even a small query ( with only 2-3 records ) need about 25 seconds to execute.
This happens everytime when I execute a query for the first time.The second time is more fast. But if I open another form and execute another query , there's again a delay.
what can I do ?
Thank you !

This was a problem with EF 6.0 that has been fixed in the latest update, I believe it is 6.0.2 that fixes it.
Open the Package Manager console in your project and type
Update-Package EntityFramework
|
|
|
|
|
Hello !
I have update it , but it's the same situation.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case I have idea what it is.

Hello !
I thought to use Pre-Generated views.
I have installed "Interactive Pre-Generated Views for Entity Framework 6 "
- On Console Manager : install-package EFInteractiveViews
- On my main form I have this :
Imports InteractivePreGeneratedViews
Private Sub IntViews()
Using ctx = New MyEntities()
InteractiveViews.SetViewCacheFactory(ctx,NewFileViewCacheFactory("C:\Myprog\MyViews.xml"))
End Using
End Sub
Now I get 2 errors :
Error 104 :
Error 105 : Type
What can I do ?
Thank you !

I have no idea. I've never used that.
I'm still on EF5.
