There would be no form present when watching for mouse clicks. This is why I have suggested using a mouse hook.

I have a form that has ftp information entered and the program connected to the website. The next time a user starts the program, I want that info to be in a pull down for them to select. Eventully, the pulldown will have several websites ftp info stored in them. I was thinking of storing the info in an xml file but I realize this is not very secure. Is there a better way to store this information.

Just encrypt the sensitive data. The only problem then is encrypting the encryption keys, and encrypting the encrypted encryption keys......
It's all a balance of how much security you need but the .NET Framework's System.Security.Cryptography namespace will help you out, there are assymetric and symmetric algorithms there including RSA and TripleDES.

Hi there.
You can either save the information in the registry or in a XML file, but you should incript the data to make in more secure. There is DLL's and source code available to encode and decode data. For example CryptoAPI.cls. This is a VB6 based class module that I use to encrypt data.
Hope this will help you in some way.

I am wondering what is an xml editor and if an application provide that, what can you do with it?
|
|
|
|
|
its edits xml files duh!! lol .. well u have to look up what xml is first.If u know xml(i doubt it) , an xml editor smartly allows u to edit xml files.For eg.
if u have this piece of xml in an xml file
<question status="answered"> What is XML?</question>
normally u could just edit it in notepad , but an xml edit would allow u to 'smartly' edit the file as in it would be able to change the value of status or the node value etc,, if what i'm sayin is bouncing of your head i really suggest reading something on what xml is.And its really helpful nowadays , a lot of things are based on XML.

Hi
The first set of source code is the class for a combobox in a grid,
hopefully. In the second set of code we try to use the combobox class, but
the grid is empty.
I don't understand how this works. The first set of code I downloaded from
internet and when i tried it, it worked fine. But when I changed the second
part of the code it started to give me trouble. Before I changed the code
they used Datacolumns,Datarows and Datatables and added them to the Dataset
which they used to the Datagrid and it worked fine. I don't understand what
is wrong know that I'm using a table I haven't "made" myself but a table I
got from a connection. As the third set of code showing, when using
comboboxes you can set the Datasource to a table you have connected to with
a connection and it works fine, so I think the second part of code should
work, but the grid is empty when the program starts.
If there is anyone who understand my problem and have a solution, please
give me an answer.
Thanks

Uhhh.... What?
Are you asking how to move a form by holding the mouse button down on a control on the form??

I have code for that.
Put this at the top of your form class(in the declarations area):
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Integer
'UPGRADE_ISSUE: Declaring a parameter 'As Any' is not supported. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/dv_commoner/local/redirect.htm?keyword="FAE78A8D-8978-4FD4-8208-5B7324A8F795"'
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByRef lParam As Integer) As Integer
Private Const HTCAPTION As Short = 2
Private Const WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN As Short = &HA1S
Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Short = &H112S
And put this in the label_mousedown sub:
Dim Button As Short = Button \ &H100000
Dim Shift As Short = System.Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys \ &H10000
Dim X As Single = (X)
Dim Y As Single = (Y)
ReleaseCapture()
SendMessage(Handle.ToInt32, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0)
Now when you hold the mouse down on that label, you will be able to move the form around.

Even Better:

Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Integer
'UPGRADE_ISSUE: Declaring a parameter 'As Any' is not supported. Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/dv_commoner/local/redirect.htm?keyword="FAE78A8D-8978-4FD4-8208-5B7324A8F795"'
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByRef lParam As Integer) As Integer
But Put the rest in a public sub named MoveForm:
Dim Button As Short = Button \ &H100000
Dim Shift As Short = System.Windows.Forms.Control.ModifierKeys \ &H10000
Dim X As Single = (X)
Dim Y As Single = (Y)
ReleaseCapture()
SendMessage(Handle.ToInt32, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0)
And in your label_MouseDown Sub call the MoveForm Sub:

How do you make your program run other executable programs, i have tried open but it doesn't work. I tried to structure a process, but am not sure how to do it properly.
I am using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (Version 8). The executable is called "Install.exe" but the method i used to locate it holds it in a sttring called objFile.
Thankyou in advance.

Hi, to all
I am trying to retrieve HDD serialnumber.
I is fairly done in DiskID32 (just google it if you do not know what DiskID32 is) with differet methods.
I am trying to simulate same functionality in VB.
I am not doing anything new just trying to convert DiskID32 to VB.
I have written lot of code but stuck with DeviceIOControl.
There are two functions
1. ReadPhysicalDriveInNTWithZeroRights
- to read HDD SN without admin rights
In this function DeviceIOControl fail with errorcode 1306
i.e. "Indicates two revision levels are incompatible."
2. ReadIdeDriveAsScsiDriveInNT - to read HDD from SCSI Back door
In this function DeviceIOControl fail with errorcode 87
i.e. Invalid Parameter value

Hi,
There is a requirement to insert data into Bulk like 20,000 - 30,000 rows into database.
Description:
I have to get one number from text file,bifercate that number and from 1st 5 digit i have to find out ID from sql server 2005 table and then go for second number of that number ,find out ID from sql server 2005 table,this process happens for 4 times for that one number and i have to do same process for 20000 rows.
Once i get all those IDs into variables into vb.net from sql server 2005,i have to insert those into one physical table and than one package will run that insert those records into another table.
Here main problem i am feeling is speed issue,to process 20000 rows for getting ids and inserting back into sql server takes somuch time.
So can some body help me out which way to go to insert records into database?
thanks

Could you clarify the issue of getting the number from the text file and looking up other numbers from it? Do all of the four numbers look up an id from the same table or different tables? It sounds like it might be possible to do this with a clever SQL statement, but without more information I can't help you.
Another thing, it sounds like after you get all of your data you insert all 20,000-30,000 rows individually. I think it would be faster to input all of the data into a DataTable and use a DataAdapter to update all of the rows in one step.

Sorry for late reply...
Let me clarify all more clear.
Could you clarify the issue of getting the number from the text file and looking up other numbers from it?
Ans: Actually i am having one text file,now there are one column which stores information like a unique number :
example: ABC1234A12B243C334 Now from this type of number i have to slip this number like ABC1234 and find that number in one table in db get the according id of that which return 1222 for that row,store this value some where,Now go to another number of same full number that is A12 and find the id from table (yeh definatly all the tables are different not from same table) then store this value somewhere and go on for this number "B243"
and find Id from another table and store value somewhere do same thing upto end of the same number (till C334).
Tables are different not same.
I have to do the same thing for 20,000-30000 rows of that text file.
If i do one by one than it takes lots of time becoz in that case i have to take like 20,000-30,000 connection on that time appication may hang up.
Once i get all the values(i.e. all the ids) need to insert into one table.
Can you pls. tell me that how to do bulk insertion??

HIE,
I 'm making a address book type application and i need to add an export to word function.I want to be able to write data into a table in a word file.Is this possible and how would i go about it?? if it is possible??
I had a wierd idea .. what if i made the table in a richtextbox (i dont know how to do that~!)And then write that data into a .doc file?.
also what about just printing the table .. what do i have to look up to just make a File->Print fuction that would have the table printed!??
i really need this please , this is the third forum i've put this question on!!
PS . i need to know how to do this in VB6 code cuz.. i'm still not very clear with .NET concepts!
Thanks
Gideon
