I got this solved, for anyone who wounders this is the deal:
you add the projects to the solution (right-click the solution and then 'add'->'Existing Project'
then you have to create a refference.
what i didn't notice before that in the 'Add Reference' dialog there is a 'Projects' Tab, you add a refference to the project from there, and the IDE will automatically create a dependancy.
Another thing to notice, click on the project reference item, and in the properties window there is a 'Copy Local' property, i think that it's best to set this proerty to 'False'.
That worked for me just great, namespace work and everything.
Hope this will help someone

Now this is a tricky one, as i am puzzeled about this,
i got BitBlt all figured out, i even wrote an article on how to use it HERE[^]
BUT!
It won't work if the source is not on the screen itself
you cannot use this code:
Dim tmpBitmap as new BitMap(...,...,)<br />
tmpGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(tmpBitmap) < graphics object
Now- Drawing to the Bitmap
tmpGraphics.DrawString("Hellow World!",myFont,myBursh,0,0)
Now Bliting
tmpHdc = tmpGraphics.GetHdc() < create a device context
BitBlt (TargetHdc ... tmpHdc )
it just wont work, it treats the source Hdc as an empty area in the memory, getting a blank image.
Note that if i'm coping from a context that is on the screen everything is working just fine, and then i can use the context in memory to copy to and from, but if i want the originating image to be created in memory and then use it? i don't like the idea of loading and drawing images to the screen in order for me to use them
Nothing worked for me and i have tried a lot of things.
You can download the code i'm using to BitBlt things, it's a class i worte, again here[^] it copies and pastes.
Any Ideas?

Hi,
This is my first post since I signed up today.
I would like to know as how should I proceed if I need to create a system tray in VB so that it can connect to my website.
You can see an example here of a similar software here:
http://www.helpcenterlive.com/winapp.php
The author of the program has created it to communicate with the Web Based live support system which he himself has developed.
I have downloaded the file and it contains files with extensions :
*.ocx
and found out following about the extension at:
http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=OCX
I would like to know if this could be achieved in VB. I have a site which is a Content Management Site and I would like to connect it with the program on my windows so that I can note as how many members have joined and how many stories have been published without opening up the browser.
Also, can you point me to the right direction as how to develop a Toolbar for a website which would run in IE browser such as Google Toolbar.
I have done programming in VB6 and Database programmingin pl/sql.
How different is VB .NET from VB6?
|
|
|
|
|
Just a basic side note, the OCX file is a component you can use,
just add a refference to it in yout .Net (or VB6) project, and then you would be able to use it.
And one major difference between VB6 and VB.Net is the intensive OOP that VB.Net offers, the CRL (Common Run-Time Language) usage, and multi-threading and much more, you can read all about it in the MSDN.

I will be using VB .NET. So Is there a path which I have to take to develop
a Windows Application so that I wont have to go to my website through the
Browser rather do all my changes and updates from the Application.
For eg. look at http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
Turbo lister which is an application through which you dont have to go to
ebay's website to sell products. You can login to your account from the
Application and make changes and sell etc etc.
This is what I want to achieve in order to control the whole Administration
Section of my Website.
Where should I start to acheive this. Is there any book, any website , any
tutorial's to learn.
What exactly is this called. Is it VB Net Programming, or Web Services , or
Window Forms Programming etc.
I need to have a better understanding in order to acheive the above, where
shoudl I start.
I have access to these three Books:
1 ). Addison Wesley Windows Forms Programming In Visual Basic Dot NET
2). MS Press 101 Microsoft Visual Basic Dot NET Applications
3). MS Press Microsoft Visual Basic Dot NET Step By Step Version.2003
Are the above books enough to begin with or am I off the track. I really
dont know what to look for.

Sorry, this doesn't answer your question but it's a problem on a related note:
when I use this in the Paint event of a form the program hangs when I call DrawString
<br />
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height, e.Graphics)<br />
<br />
Dim hdc As IntPtr = e.Graphics.GetHdc()<br />
<br />
Dim gMem As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)<br />
Dim memHdc As IntPtr = gMem.GetHdc()<br />
'<br />
gMem.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, x, y)<br />
<br />
Dim SRCCOPY As Integer = &HCC0020<br />
<br />
BitBlt(hdc, 0, 0, Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height, memHdc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY)<br />

Don't worry, I've just worked it out
Dim memHdc As IntPtr = gMem.GetHdc() was in the wrong place
I knew as soon as I posted this I would solve it

How can I center text on a form using the Graphics.DrawString method?
Using C++ I would write:
pdc -> DrawText(cs,cr,DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER | DT_SINGLELINE);<br />
where cs is the string to write and cr the bounds rectangle. Is there a similar method in .NET?
Ican write in the form easily enough but I want to center the text in the middle of the form, also how doI stop it flickering when it repaints it?
Thanks in anticipation.

See the Graphics.DrawString method. You may also have to center the image on the form yourself. To get the length of the drawn string use Graphics.MeasureString

Thanks, got that working. Is there anyway to stop the flicker?

You did not mention when do you see it flicker (i.e. When do you re-redraw,
In what rate and how many objects etc.)

Essentially i am using forms as controls on a parent form - i draw some text on the child forms in the Paint event because the forms can be resized - it flickers when I resize it.

I have not done it in .Net yet but in the old VB you need to set a reference to: 'Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.7 for DDL and Security'. You many have another version than 2.7 but you get the idea.
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim sch As New ADOX.Catalog
cn = New Connection
cn.ConnectionString = ConnectString
cn.Open
sch.ActiveConnection = cn
Dim t As ADOX.Table
Dim c As ADOX.Column
Set t = sch.Tables("TableName")
Set c = t.Columns("ColumnName")
Debug.Print c.Type

Does anyone here know a way i can draw over a picture box?? And i mean draw (anything such a rectangle or so), not place a picture!

In VB.Net you can draw on almost anything, using this simple syntax:
Dim MyGraphicsObject as Graphics ' Creating a graphics object Holder<br />
MyGraphicsObject= PictureBox1.CreateGraphics ' Getting a graphics <br />
' object for the PictureBox
Note that you can create a graphics object using the .CreateGraphics on almost anything
and for images use :
MyGraphicsObject = Graphics.FromImage(MyImageObject)
to get a refference to a graphics object.
now you can do whatever you want, like
MyGraphicsObject.DrawArc
Or
MyGraphicsObject.DrawRectangle or .DrawString
and so on.
just dont forget to use
MyGraphicsObject.Dispose()
when you're done

You didn't ask any specific questions so it's hard to help you with any problems...
BUt, I've got one for you. What do you mean by "run in the process"?
Are you using VB or VB.NET? VB.NET is easy enough. Just create a Windows Service project. When you install the app, make sure it is using the Local System account and 'Allow service to interact with desktop' is checked.

Hello all,
I have to read the html string from email, and display it back on the internet explore.
I have no problem getting html body of the email. but displaying back is giving me trouble.
Here what I do, (i'm using vb.net)
1) read the html body from email. ebody = mail.HTMLBody
2) write to the file in two ways regualr text string and binary string so all text (in any (i don't care)language that was able to view on internet explore). As soon as I read the htmlbody, I take it and write it to the .html file so it can view on internet explore.
<br />
1) <br />
Dim objStr As StreamWriter<br />
'creating html file<br />
objStr = New StreamWriter("c:\afile.html") ' location could be changed<br />
objStr.WriteLine(ebody) 'writing to the file<br />
objStr.Close() 'close the file<br />
<br />
2)<br />
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\afile.html", FileMode.Create)<br />
Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fs)<br />
w.Write(ebody)<br />
w.Close()<br />
3) display the html file with internet explore
<br />
Dim ie As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer<br />
ie.Visible = True<br />
ie.Navigate("c:\afile.html")<br />
However the text are not displaying right if the text was written in different language other than English. Let's say the sentence is written in Chinese, then it display boxes.
I tried to write the string in both binary format, and regular format.
How can I write to the text file not changing all the text font and format?

Hi!
I want to bind a custom collection to a datagrid. The collection inherits from CollectionBase. The binding is no problem, but I want to see a "add new" row at the end of the datagrid. How can this be done? I know this is no Problem if you use a datatable. But I don't want to copy my list to a table. There must be a way to do this with a collection, right? I even tried to implement IBindingList. No difference. Do I have to implement ITypedList, too?
