well, thank you for the link. i tried it this way but something i seem to do wrong ...

here the code:
Public Sub _getClientScreenShot() Implements IServer._getClientScreenShot
Dim user As IClient
Dim path As String
Dim screenShot, screenShotTemp As Bitmap
Dim screenGraphics As Graphics

For Each user In _clients.Values
Try
user._captureScreen()
path = "\\Matrix\Kunden\" + user._computerName.ToString + ".bmp"
screenShotTemp = Image.FromFile(path)
screenGraphics.FromImage(screenShotTemp)
screenGraphics.DrawImage(screenShot, 0, 0)
screenShotTemp.Dispose()
screenGraphics.Dispose()
Me._schoolMain.Screenshot.Image = screenShot

Catch e As Exception
Me._schoolMain.Info.Text = "Exception in Screenshot: " & e.ToString
End Try
Next
End Sub

unfortunately, the failure got worse. the application that calls this function hangs up...

what did i wrong?

First, you don't need to call .ToString here. _computerName is already a String and doesn't need to be converted to one.

screenShotTemp.Dispose()
screenGraphics.Dispose()
Me._schoolMain.Screenshot.Image = screenShot

Second, you're doing alot of unecessary work and this is where your hanging up. All you need to do is load the picture into your screenShotTemp and make a copy of it using a new Bitmap object. Then use the copy as your PictureBox source image and release the original image in your temp variable.

        Dim screenShotTemp As Bitmap
        Dim path As String
.
.
.
        path = "\\Matrix\Kunden\" + user._computerName + ".bmp"
        screenShotTemp = Image.FromFile(path)
        Dim screenShot As New Bitmap(screenShotTemp)
        PictureBox1.Image = screenShot
        screenShotTemp.Dispose()

The Bitmap class has about a dozen different constructors. Read up on them here[^].

I am trying to print a mschart from a vbnet project.
In vb6 it was easy:
MSChart1.EditCopy
Printer.PaintPicture Clipboard.GetData(), x, y
But vbnet no longer has a printer object.
I have tried:
Clipboard.SetDataObject(Me.MeanChart)
e.Graphics.DrawImage(Clipboard.GetDataObject, Y)
DrawImage does not take the argument.
Need help
Thanks ahead

This information is only available using the WMI Session Provider, which is only available on Windows XP and Server 2003. The client machine that reads the information must be XP or better. There is no support for other Windows versions.

You'll have to P/Invoke the WTSEnumerateSessions[^] function, along with the supporting functions, like WTSOpenServer[^], and WTSCloseServer[^] to get the information you need without the limitations of operating system version and WMI. These links should give to a good start for working with teh Terminal Services API.

You can't do the GUID = ???? thing, but you can create a new GUID contant using one of the Guid structure constructors.

Dim myGUID As New System.Guid("{CA761232-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}")

See this[^] page for the complete docs on the Guid structure constructors.

XML wasn't really designed to handle binary data like an image, but it is possible to do. Check out this article[^] by CodeZX to see how it's done. It's written in C#, but converts easily to VB.NET.

storing data client side

Hi!
I am new to .net.
I need urgent help with some coding.
What I have to do is to display the data, entered by a user, in a data grid on the same page, when the user clicks on the save button.
But I can not access any database for this purpose.
se I have created a datatable to load the datagrid. But my problem is that every time the save button is clicked, the previously entered data is erased. This means that my datagrid is effectively displaying only one row at any time.
I read somewhere that hidden fields can be used for this purpose. But i know nothing about them.
Can someone tell me how to go about this?
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanx.

Your question would be better answered in the ASP.NET Forum.
I think about the only place your going to be able to store any data is in the Session object. But that's just my opinion from limited experience.

It really depends on what the application is doing at the time.

I think you should be more focused on finding out why the application is terminating and fixing that instead.

Timer stops automatically

Can anyone help?

My timer stops automatically. Does anyone know why the application run but suddenly the timer stops?

Within my application, i have a timer which act like interval of running program, for example, 5 seconds. Then within 5 seconds, it will do processing inside. But from time to time, my timer will stop automatically within any action that caused. The time it stops is not consistence. Sometimes 5 mins after the application runs, sometimes 15 and sometimes longer.

Thank you.

There's got to be something else going on that is disabling the Timer. There are no known problems with the Timer classes.

Are you disabling the timer in your Tick event handler, then re-enabling it at the end of the handler? Does this handler have any Try/Catch blocks in it that might be bypassing the enable code?

A code snippet showing your setup of the timer and its Tick event handler might help.
