Anyione can tell me the easiest code of threading. Including functions as CancelThread etc.
Maybe a nice class somewhere?

The .NET framework offers a ThreadPool class, you should use it.

Well a nice class is definitely a start in the right direction. But if you want to use threading, you need to learn enough about it to actually do so - and a good way to start is to write your own class, rather than look for one.
As far as the NET documentation, let me make an analogy.
Suppose I had a 9mm and an ingrown toenail, and suppose further that the only understanding of either I had came from a NET Walkthrough. Now, armed with this impossibly limited knowledge and some of my own basic cognitive ability, I might just put 2 and 2 together and decide that sitting down at my kitchen table and blowing away my big toe was actually a pretty reasonable way to combine my limited knowledge of a problem and a tool to achieve a "solution".
Now, assuming a I got very lucky, and all that was missing was my big toe, I would immediately realize that the MSDN never explained about how much a 9mm recoils, and that I was damn lucky I did not accidentally fire a second shot that either blew my head off, or worse still, blew my goober off. And it would only be upon further investigation that I learned that after taking off a big toe, a 9mm round would also penetrate the nearest wall leaving an entry hole about the size of a quarter and come out on the other side leaving a hole I could easily stick my head in. etc, etc, etc.
The moral of the story is you'll need a lot more than just an article. You'll need to look at a lot of example code, and more importantly experiment on your own a lot.
Cancelling a thread is a perfect example. The Threading class provides an Abort method, and sure, that will work - but only if you are doing something equally useless like a typical walkthrough that calculates prime integers.
If a real-life thread is not using something like db resources, file system resources, printer resources, etc. then you probably should not be using a thread in the first place. So any real app needs to terminate threads in a controlled manner. Usually a primary thread sets a flag that tells a worker to cancel a task. Only you can write the appropriate code because only you know what your thread is supposed to do, when the appropriate times are this it should check it's cancel flag, and how it should clean up after itself.
Threading is a journey, not an article...

Dear All Engineer,
Anybody can tell me how to create a registry during the Setup deploying time? I want the User can select which database folder they want to keep.
The example is create a windows registry folder as "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CompanyName" with
Name = "Database Folder"
Type = "REG_SZ"
Data = "C:\CompanyName\Database"

Hi folks,
With VBCommenter i commented my source code from a project, that works fine.
But i don't get intellisense info from the classes etc in the same project that i am working on.
The same problem occurs with other projects in the same solution that referenced this project.
When i reference the dll instead of the project, intellisense works fine.
But then you get other problems (ambiguous classes, etc).
Does anybody have an idea? 
Thanks...

Hello all,
I have ddlA that loads another ddlB on a postback. I AM Able to get ddlA to load in the page load event;however, i can not get the ddlB to load from the selected value from ddlA.
Can someone please help me with this.
* I am very much open to all solutions for this issue. IF YOU have a better way or an easier way of doing this, by all means, please share it with me!
Erik.

I don't see any code that attempts to load the second list - could you point it out for me please ?

That is where i am getting stuck. I thought that this is where the second ddl should load.
Private Sub LoadList()
ddlCompanyName.Items.Clear()
ddlCompanyName.DataSource = GetData(ddlCustomers.SelectedValue).CompanyName <---HERE...
ddlCompanyName.DataBind()
End Sub
I am still working on and off with this tring to get it to work, or get some information that can explaing how to implement something like this. IF You know of a good url please send it my way. i need to find the answer to this one before to long...

I'm not sure what the .CompanyName property is supposed to do here, but a getdata function that takes the selected value and filters on it is the right idea.

I want to make a program which doesn't allow any how to go focus out of him not even the mouse cursor goes out the window and I even want to trap the message ctrl+alt+del,so that my process can't be killed.

There are more ways to stop a process than just pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. Perhaps if you tell us why you want this functionality there may be a way to do something just as well but with a different solution. I know I'd feel pretty irritated if I used a program that forced the focus to it and didn't allow me to stop it running - the only reasons I can think of that you'd want to do this are not good reasons.

While this may be a good idea for a kiosk application, it's just plain idiotic to do it in any other circumstance.
Also, you can't trap Ctrl-Alt-Del, unless, that is, you want to write a new GINA.DLL...

I want to hide my executing process in task manager.How can I?

|
|
|

You can't!

You just hide your appications in task manager's application list not in process list. you just have to do
form_load
app.TaskVisible=False
end sub
|
|
|
|
|
That only works in VB6 and only if the application doesn't show an interface.
If you read the documentation:
The TaskVisible property can only be set to False in applications that do not display an interface, such as ActiveX components that do not contain or display Form objects. While the application displays an interface, the TaskVisible property is automatically set to True.

I want to know how toexecute the program in v.b. before the login screen appears, and how to abort the system shutdown , I uses the abortsystemshutdown function but it works only in win98 and even in win 98 after calling the function the system shows the message not responding.

This is a Windows Service application.

Why on earth would you want to do this? It's a VERY bad idea considering the only way you'd be able to shut down the system is to power off the machine. This, of course, runs the risk of corrupting Windows, the pagefile, the file system, ...

I have been working on this problem for the last couple of days and have not been able to come up with a solution. This is probably due to my lack of experience building composite controls.
I am trying to fill the objMonthEvents array inside the CtlCal_DayRender handler then use that array in the CreateChildControls sub procedure.
The idea is to build a second control that would detail information gathered in the CtlCal_DayRender sub.
Thanks for any help in how I am trying to accomplish this or correcting the code detailed so it will work!

 I am new to .Net and am programming in VB.Net.
Printing a Form in a report fashion (release 2.2)
By sylvain2222 is code in The Code Project.
I tried to download the demo code and use it but I keep getting compile errors as these below:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintingFormDemo\FormPrinting\FormPrinting.cs(45): The type or namespace name 'HorizontalAlignment' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintingFormDemo\FormPrinting\FormPrinting.cs(61): The type or namespace name 'Windows' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?).
I am not a C# programmer but I would like to use slvain2222 code in my VB.Net project. However, I cannot even get the demo to compile.
If I ever get it to compile, how do I incorporate it into my VB.Net project?
Thanks for any help given.
