Hi Seyyed,
Seyyed Mohammad Hassan Naji wrote: please link a clear and obvious way to connect to an SQL Server DB on server. I'd searched a lot before asking in this topic
Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but the connectionstrings website is what I use.

I want my program to update, change, read, delete and do everything (updating is the most important) with a SQL Server database that is on server. It can take the username and password of host control panel, the username and pass of ftp account (if needed), and of course the username and pass of the SQL Server database.
The connection string of accessing SQL Server with IP address doesn't pay attention to the username and password of host. Are they really trivia? Don't they help us when connecting to DB?
In other words are the username and password of SQL Server database (on host) enough to connect to database and do everything with that?

No. You still need username and password. SQL Server has the default 'sa' username and it is strongly suggested not to use this username from your apps. Pretty much all of the connection strings on the website I suggested, require username and password.

You should have your app do the updates/read/create/delete and an ftp account is not really necessary. Take a look at the numerous excellent articles on this site that show how to do database driven apps

Hello, I made an application that browse through a list of urls and i was wondering to make it multithread. i need some help with that im a litle confused convining Multithreading with the axwebbrowser events. thanks, Mike

The webbrowser control will only open one URL at a time. You can't send it multiple URLs from different threads and have them all be retrieved.
The only way around that is to use one webbrowser control for each thread. But, this gets VERY resource intensive. If all you're doing is downloading a single page, without care about any images on that page, then you might want to consider using the much lighter weight HttpWebRequest[^] class to fetch the pages instead.

I have a requirement to import data from an Excel spreadsheet file into some legacy software within in a language called Retieve 4GL, which has limited support for non R4GL files. Basically it supports CSV files.
I therefore need to convert an Excel Spreadsheet to a CSV file for importing. I would be greatful for any pointers as I have little experince of Excel integration. Ideally I would write a console app in VB.NET 2005, which I could shell to from R4GL, to convert the excel spreadsheet. Excel 2003 is installed on the PCs which will be running this task.
I guess what I need to do is start an instance of Excel, load the file, then force it to save in as a CSV, or is there a better option.
Thanks in advance for suggestions

This was just cropped from an old VB 6 application, but should get your started in the right direction...
Dim excelapp As New Excel.Application
Dim excelWB As Excel.Workbooks
Set excelapp = Excel.Application
Set excelWB = Excel.Workbooks
excelWB.Application.DisplayAlerts = False
excelWB.Open LTrim(<your file="" path="">), UpdateLinks:=3
excelapp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _
"<your file="" name="">" & ".csv", _
FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False

I want to test how long it takes to load a form with 150 buttons with a background image(on each button) and test how long it takes to open a form with 150 buttons without a background image(on each button)... I have never worked with a timer control and Im assuming that is what I will want to use. I have built three forms, the first form has two buttons, one to open each of the forms with the buttons. The next form has 150 buttons each with a background image, the last form is the same except each button does not have a background image. That is as far as I have gotten, can someone please explain to me what I need to do from here. Thank you...

Since this is a test, you don't have to do it perfectly.
Create a global variable called dtBuild as date
Dim oFrm as form1
dtBuild = now
ofrm.show
In the activate event of form1 put this code
MsgBox((Now.Subtract(dtBuild).TotalMilliseconds) / 1000)

I just get a message box with a zero in it BEFORE the form loads. The msgbox comes up, i click OK and then the form loads... Any ideas????
|
|

Try this instead
1) put a dummy label on your form.
2) dim a variable at the form level
Private dt As Date
3) code activate with the result
Private Sub Form2_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
Label1.Text = (Now.Subtract(dt).TotalMilliseconds / 1000).ToString
End Sub
4) code the handlecreated event with the start of the "timer"
Private Sub Form2_HandleCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.HandleCreated
dt = Now
End Sub

OK cool, that worked, I THINK....
Do you think its possible for a form full of buttons with a background images to load faster than a form with the same amount of buttons that do no have a background image??? because that is what I am getting...
|
|
|
|
|
actually nevermind, it doesnt work. I mean it shows how long it takes for the form and the label to load. The label appears before the buttons all are loaded. I need to to appear after the buttons are loaded...
|
|
|
|
|
how about moving the code from the activate to the paint event...?
|
|
|
|
|
that worked!!! thank you very much for your help...

Hi,
I am trying to download multiple file names of the same name from 100 differant locations to a single folder on my local server. To avoid over writing the previous file with the same name i want to append the ippaddress of the source file to the file name...... can this be done??
I hope someone can help me - i seem to be chasing my own tail here!!
Regards
Mac

you should be in total control of what you name the file that will be saved on your harddrive. Do a dns lookup per location to get the ipaddress and append it to the name of the file before you attempt the download. or is there more to it...?
the source may be xxxxxxx.txt but download method should let you rename it to xxxxxxx_999.999.999.999.txt
|
|
|
|
|
I know all of the ip addresses, i just want to automate the renaming to include the ip address it came from. And i have no idea how to do it in VB...
|

Pass each location into this function and append the result to the filename.
Ex:
Dim sFile as string = "downloadfile.txt"
sFile = Mid(sFile,Instrrev(sFile,".")-1) & "_" & sGetIP("www.yahoo.com") & _
Mid(sFile,Instrrev(sFile,"."))
sFile will equal "doadloadfile_209.73.186.238.txt"
Private Function sGetIP(ByVal sWebSiteName As String) As String
Dim o As System.Net.IPHostEntry = System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(sWebSiteName)
Return CType(o.AddressList.GetValue(0), System.Net.IPAddress).ToString.Trim
End Function
