Please anybody who know and tell me the simple program for insert, edit, cancel and delete using ADO in VB6, I have to learn it from the first, but currently I use the Data Control for insert, edit,cancel and delete. The provider = microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0.

Simple? Anything but... Articles and samples concerning VB6 and ADO are becomming increasingly difficult to find over the last three years. They've been pretty much replaced by VB.NET and ADO.NET. Your best bet is to pick up a book on it. Believe it or not, "Visual Basic 6 Database Programming for Dummies" has turned out to be pretty good on the subject.

Sending e-mail in VB .NET

I read on www.visualbasic.net[^] that I could send mail messages by using the objects available in System.Web.Mail, so I tried including the line Imports System.Web.Mail at the top of my code, but there was no System.Web.Mail! Confused | :confused:

So is there any way to send e-mails using a different method in VB .NET?

In order to use the System.Web.Mail namespace, you have to add to your project, a reference to the System.Web.dll assembly. Go to your References folder in the Solution Explorer, right-click the References folder, then click Add Reference. On the .NET tab, scroll down the list until you find System.Web.dll and double-click it. The reference should appear in the bottom window of the dialog, then click OK. Now you can add the Imports System.Web.Mail at the top of your code.

Events fired up on focus change.

When I shift to a tab page and turn to the previous again, selectedIndex changed event is triggered for comboboxes on newly focused tab. When I shift to another program and come back to program form key up events are fired! To prevent this I used boolean flags but isn't this behaviour stupid? There must be a more elegant solution.

Thanks a lot.

How to change the color of the text of a DateTimePicker??

Hello all,

I'm trying to change the color of the text of a DateTimePicker, just the text that appear in the control after we clicked in a date on the calendar.

I've already used the ForeColor and it didn't work and I tryed the CalendarForeColor and they changed the color of the calendar, not the text that I'd like to.

What should I do.

Thanks.

file access problem

tommy_tanaka27-Aug-04 5:32

27-Aug-04 5:32

hello there -

i have two applications. the first one save a bitmapfile to a certain directory.
the second one just reads this bitmapfile into a picturebox.

the first time everything works fine.
but as soon as the first application wants to write again the file to the same path and filename, an exception is thrown. i know why, because application two seems to have the bitmapfile protected from overwriting, because it uses it in the picture box.

but i want to have the actual bitmap in the picturebox. any idea how i can solve my problem?

Save-Function of Application 1:
picPath = "\\Matrix\Kunden\server.bmp"
getScreenShot._getImage.Save(picPath)

Read-Function of Application 2:
path = "\\Matrix\Kunden\server.bmp"
Me._schoolMain.Screenshot.Image = screenShot.FromFile(path)

thx for any help.

tom

Your having this problem, not because the image is shown in a PictureBox, but because the Bitmap object in your 2nd application is keeping an open file handle to the image file that your loading.

The workaround can be found here[^] on MSDN.

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.

user._captureScreen()
path = "\\Matrix\Kunden\" + user._computerName.ToString + ".bmp"

screenGraphics.FromImage(screenShotTemp)
screenGraphics.DrawImage(screenShot, 0, 0)
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[^].

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.
