Re: Raise a number to a power? Dave Kreskowiak10-Mar-04 1:10 Dave Kreskowiak 10-Mar-04 1:10  It's much easier than it is in C++. Just use: result = number ^ exponent   value = 10 ^ x RageInTheMachine9532 Re: Raise a number to a power? Roger Allen10-Mar-04 2:01 Roger Allen 10-Mar-04 2:01  Thanks for that.

Getting CD name and file list in VB.net Julien Burgaud9-Mar-04 13:22 Julien Burgaud 9-Mar-04 13:22  Does anybody know how to get the cd name, (volume name) and to get the files list in the directory? to pass it in a dataset... Re: Getting CD name and file list in VB.net Mike Ellison10-Mar-04 6:39 Mike Ellison 10-Mar-04 6:39  Hi Julien. Well, you can look at the FileInfo.Name[^] documentation for an example of getting the list of files in a directory. The Dir() function, though a carryover from VB6, is also available in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. As for the volume name, you could try this (where E:\ is your CD drive): VB Dir("E:\", FileAttribute.Volume) or I suppose you could add a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime in your vb.net project and use the FileSystemObject's GetDrive() method.

I have managed to launch a few processes on the server, but was unable to attach to them - and I had to reboot the server to kill them. In a nutshell: I use a series of databound pages to locate a device on an intranet. From there I want the user to be able to press a button and either PING the device or TELNET to it. It is suppose to save the user time...instead of having them opening up a DOS window and typing "PING -t mydevice" I want to send the command for them - and show them the results in a standard DOS window. Please help! Terry Re: Execute DOS commands on client Dave Kreskowiak10-Mar-04 1:16 Dave Kreskowiak 10-Mar-04 1:16  You'd have to use VBScript or Javascript code in the webpage that the client uses, not the server. Search for the WshShell object on MSDN. RageInTheMachine9532 Re: Execute DOS commands on client toboyle10-Mar-04 5:57 toboyle 10-Mar-04 5:57  Thank you Dave - I found the information. Now, here's the rub... I need to pass the device name from VB.NET to the script (VBscript or Javascript). And let me be specific: I need a button on an .ASPX page that grabs the device name (that was dynamically created from a dataset in VB.NET - take that name and pass it to the WshShell object as a parameter. So I can execute the following on the client machine: ping -t <device_name> Okay - I know I am close, but I want to make sure I pull this together correctly. Thanks again, Terry Re: Execute DOS commands on client toboyle10-Mar-04 6:10 toboyle 10-Mar-04 6:10  Dave, Quick correction: ping -t device_name I used greater than and less than on the first post. Terry Bootstrapper Settings Button Disabled vister729-Mar-04 10:45 vister72 9-Mar-04 10:45  Hello, I am using the standard VB.NET and when viewing the Property Pages of my build application (Project / Properties), the Settings button for the Bootstrapper option is grayed out. I do have the option of choosing None, Windows Installer Bootstrapper, and Web Bootstrapper. Is this because I don't have the professional edition? Vi Re: Bootstrapper Settings Button Disabled vister729-Mar-04 10:48 vister72 9-Mar-04 10:48  Hello, Never mind my question. I was being an idiot. The Settings is only activated for the Web Bootstrapping option. Thanks! Vi Deployment Question vister729-Mar-04 10:17 vister72 9-Mar-04 10:17  When building a setup program, is it better to set conditional statements such as having the setup program install certain components needed in order to run the application. For example, if deploying an application, would it make more sense to have the setup program search the user's computer for required components such as the .NET framework. If the setup program does not detect this, it would automatically install on the user's PC. Also, what is the standard practice in software development and whether there is a downside to doing this? Or is it best to let the user install the missing components on their own? Vi How to Apply Icons to an Application vister729-Mar-04 7:08 vister72 9-Mar-04 7:08  Hello , I'm using VB.NET 7.0 and would like to apply a customized icon to a small application. I was able to apply the icon to the main form, however, I would like to apply it to the application when the user installs it on their computer. Currently, the user sees the default white window when viewing from Windows Explorer. Could someone please direct me to the proper area for this? Thanks so much! Vi Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application Dave Kreskowiak9-Mar-04 9:34 Dave Kreskowiak 9-Mar-04 9:34  Simple. Open your project, and go to the Project menu. Click on <projectname> Properties at the bottom of the menu. In the left navigation pane click on Build, and you should see on the right 'Application Icon'. Click on the '...' button and you can pick an icon file to use or you can select from the drop down list an icon file that you already have as part of your project. Click OK and rebuild your project and your done! RageInTheMachine9532 Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application vister729-Mar-04 10:08 vister72 9-Mar-04 10:08  Thanks so much Dave. Your instructions were extremely clear. I found it right away. Vi Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application vister7211-Mar-04 15:56 vister72 11-Mar-04 15:56  Hi Dave, I tried exactly as you had instructed and saw the the icon file as added to my project. However, after building the solution and running the setup on my Win 2000 machine, I'm seeing the Paper icon instead (looks like the default). Is there another step or setting to go through? Vi Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application Dave Kreskowiak12-Mar-04 4:29 Dave Kreskowiak 12-Mar-04 4:29  A single icon file can store several icons in many sizes and color depths. Do you have copies of your icon in 16x16 and 32x32? It the only thing I can think of. I haven't run into he problem your having. RageInTheMachine9532 Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application Steve Pullan2-Jun-04 20:09 Steve Pullan 2-Jun-04 20:09  Vi, Did you ever resolve this issue? I am having a similar problem (shows default application icon when switching via ALT+TAB), but have also 'done everything right' as far as specifying the app icon in the VS 2003 build properties and have 16x and 32x icons. ...Steve Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application Anonymous3-Jun-04 2:07 Anonymous 3-Jun-04 2:07  Hi Steve, I was able to resolve this issue. I had to go into the (I forget what it's called because I don't have the program on this computer) setup of customizing the installation where you could customize the program to install on the desktop and the start menu and add the icon there. Once I did that, the icon did appear after I installed the program. I hope you're able to resolve your issue. Vi Re: How to Apply Icons to an Application Steve Pullan3-Jun-04 13:43 Steve Pullan 3-Jun-04 13:43  Vi, Yes I was able to fix it. It turned out to be the ShowInTaskBar form property which I had set to False. Changed it to True and all is now as it should be. I used the False setting because I am minimizing the form down to the task tray rather than the task bar. Obviously the Windows O/S sees that and decides not to display the application icon during an ALT+TAB operation. I can live with that and work around it programatically. Thanks for your help. ...Steve Help me access cellphone memory & edit it stevemwangi9-Mar-04 4:40 stevemwangi 9-Mar-04 4:40  Accessing cellphone memory i.e phonebook, phonecode, IME NO. etc Re: Help me access cellphone memory &amp; edit it Dave Kreskowiak9-Mar-04 5:10 Dave Kreskowiak 9-Mar-04 5:10  A bit more information would be helpful, like the model of the cell phone and what OS it's running.
