I believe it is a command line argument. The problem is how do I pick it up once my app starts. What is the command to access it?
|
|
|
|
|
From the Main method (all applications have one - unless VB is different) which will be on your Program class (in VS2005).
Alternatively, from anywhere else in the application:
Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[^]

Colin,
First, thanks for your help. When I drag my file on top the the program it starts and I can read the arguments, but it only lists the executing program. The file I drag onto the program to start it is not listed. Any ideas?
|
|
|
|
|
I've just tried it myself. It works for me. If I drop a file onto the shortcut on the desktop, it will have the file name as the second argument (ordinal position 1) in the array.
|
|
|
|
|
This is what I am using:
Dim arguments As [String]() = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
For i As Integer = 0 To arguments.Length - 1
MsgBox(arguments(i))
Next
I drag the picture on top of the program shortcut and only get the executing program. Does the above code look correct?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it should work. I used a For Each in my test, but it should be at arguments(1)

When you say you drag the picture. Do you mean the icon of a file in explorer? Or a picture from a running program? (e.g. A bit of clip art in power point)

C#
public class MyList<T> : IEnumerable<T>
{
public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator()
{
//DoSomething1;
}
System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
{
//DoSomething2;
}
}
How to change the C# code to VB.net source?
Thanks!

VB replaces <t> with (of T), I believe. Notice how VB uses () for everythng, thus making it illegible ?

(via Instant VB):
Public Class MyList(Of T)
Implements IEnumerable(Of T)
Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator(Of T) Implements IEnumerable(Of T).GetEnumerator
'DoSomething1;
End Function
Private Function IEnumerable_GetEnumerator() As System.Collections.IEnumerator Implements System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator
'DoSomething2;
End Function
End Class

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make an update patch for a VS 2005 window project.
I have developed a CRM for some customers. However, the customers want some more development to it.
I am wondering is there any way you can create an update patch that will only install the changes or add-ons that you have made. Currently the users have to uninstall and then install the new setup.
I have used MSI to create the setup.
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Steve

Do you want to just deploy some dlls and not the rest of the app ? Or do you want to send out a 20 kb file that updates a 2 MB exe ?
Either way, to do it automatically, you probably need to use an installer that supports such a thing. I don't think MSI's, do.

How can I use a custom font in a project that the user has placed in a folder.
|
|
|
|
|
This question doesn't make any sense at all. What project? What folder? What's the fon't got to do with anything? Why are you changing the font?

You forget when you're working on a project that it makes perfect sense, unfortunately only to you!
What I have is a game, where users will be able to navigate to a folder and all the images for the game will be taken from that folder, I would also like for the score,lives time etc to be in a font that is also contained in the folder.
I guess the best description is skinning.
Hope this makes it more understandable.

You might want to go for a skinning library. A little Google reveals these[^].

i don't know if this may help but it's something to look at
textbox.font = new font ( fontname, fontsize, fontstyle)
where
textbox = is the textbox, label, or any object with a font property
fontname = the name of the font as a string
fontsize = the size of the font in points (single value only)
fontstyle = options like bold, italic, and underline, but the options have to be fontstyle objects (no strings)
what this does is makes anew font object and sets the textbox (or whatever you use) font property to the new font.
most of this stuff can be stored in an ASCII file (just make sure to convert your fontsize value from string to single)
hopes this helps

Hello,
vs 2005
I have the paths of documents in a datagridview. The documents can be different types, e.g. excel, word, paint, photoshop. However, most will be word documents
e.g. Path - c:\documents\job.doc
c:\documents\task.xsl
c:\documents\schedule.jpg
All these are in a database and are loaded into a datagridview.
The user will want to print all the documents that are contained in the grid.
So they will click a button and all the documents should print out.
Can anyone time me the best way to achieve this.
Many thanks for your time,
Steve

One way to do it is to loop through the datagridview and then call the System.Diagnostics.Process
Something like:
dim p as System.Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
p.StartInfo.FileName = "putthefilenamehere"
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true
p.Start()
'might need to wait a few seconds for the print spooling
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
p.Close()
Hope that helps.

Hello Ben,
Thanks for the code, it worked great.
Just one thing, about the system.threading. Is this the main UI thread this is sleeping?
What would happen if you don't set the sleep, before the close?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hey Steve,
It is the main UI thread that is sleeping. If you don't set the sleep and close the process before the print job has spooled then the print job will be canceled.
If you want the app to still be responsive you should do something like thing:
For i As Integer = 1 To 10
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500)
Application.DoEvents()
Next i
So you only sleep for 1/2 a second and then process any windows events.
Hope that helps.
Ben

Hello !!
I installed Windows 2oo3 SP2 yesterday. Everything works just fine but one thing so far.
I develop asp pages that call COM objects in VB6 but since I installed SP2 I'm unable to launch the COM object from VB and set breakpoints and such... IIS sends the following error '80030019' on the CreateObject line which I don't understand since it's related to seeking records...
(Server.CreateObject gives 'ASP 0177 : 80030019')
Any idea ??!! Am I good to uninstall SP2 ? 
Thanks !
