My Visual Basic 6.0 program allows me at home to Write to and Read from Random Access files and, and to produce in the end a paper sheet with results. In fact I entry the raw scores of a psychological test and after 'treatment' the program comes up with the results. I would like to make a website which I can approach from any computer to achieve the same. Is that possible and what means should I use?

Hi Pete,
Thank you for your fast reply. Really in the way computers should work
Allthough I learned a lot from it, it did not solve my problem.
Maybe I stated my problem in the wrong way.
Let me put it this way then:
Is it possible to upload a "normal" Visual Basic 6.0 program into the server of my webhost and make it approachable from my home computerso that I can entry data into that program and make it print results on my home printer?
I am ok with VB but a newbie considering web things
Thanks,

As far as I know, this will not be possible, at least not in the way you envisage...
VB6 requires a lot of run-time files, and there maybe other dependencies in your program too, which will need to be registered on every client that will access your program.
You will likely not get any assistance in trying to do this app with VB6 since it is now obsolete, so its best you shift over to some other language like VB.Net or C#.

Thank you ChandraRam for taking the trouble to answer my request. But I think it will be not be possible with C# too the way I imagine things. My idea was that it might be possible to upload a Windows application, be it VB or C#, to my web host, and then approach it from my home computer with some kind of HTML, or something like that. Why does it have to be so complicated
SIGH

Although there are easier ways to do this, you could do this if you create a setting like this:
1. You have to have administrative rights to the server / webhost machine.
2. You would have to install the application on that machine by remoting in using remote desktop.
3. The firewall setting on the webhost machine has to allow incoming socket connection on a specific port you choose.
4. You would have to create a listener / client application on your home machine to receive the incoming socket communication.
5. Items 1, 2 and 3 will have to also be valid for your home machine obviously.
A simpler way to do this would be:
1. Create a Web Service in VS.NET which would expose a Function, which would return a dataset to the client software.
2. Create a Client Application using VS.NET which would reference that Web Service, and would obtain the dataset. This would allow you to format the data in whatever format you see fit and print it out at home.
As you can see the second way is a lot simpler then what you initially intended to do. I hope this helps.

Hi ... i need a little help, please. This code works fine, but i'd like to convert it to use FilePutObject.
Private Structure myFriend
Public name As String
Public age As Integer
End Structure
…
Dim friendFileName As String = "R:\MyFriends.txt"
FileOpen(1, friendFileName, OpenMode.Binary)
Dim aFriend As myFriend ' Create a friend object
aFriend.name = "Laura"
aFriend.age = 29
FilePut(1, aFriend) ' Write entire structure to the hard drive
What would be the FilePutObject equivalent of the last statement (above)?
FilePutObject(1, aFriend) … does not do it
Thanks.

Use Print() function instead you can accomplish it by using the following code:
FileOpen(1, "File Name", OpenMode.Output)
Print(1, "Data to save")
FileClose(1)
Hope it helps !

You don't have to do this because DateTimePicker has this functionality built in. You just have to click on 'Month' for example 'November' to select month from the Menu appeared and when you click on the Year a numeric up down will appear to select a year either by clicking the up down arrow buttons or by typing.
Hope it helps !

Go to properties and set the "Value" property to specific date
OR write the following code
dateTimePicker1.Value = Convert.ToDateTime("1/1/2007");

Use Custom Action Editor and provide a Batch file under Install node which will install/Copy your database on client's machine.
Hope it helps !

Hi, I am facing problem with placing the controls dynamically with Autoscroll position. I am getting empty space in the form when I tried to place the controls runtime.
|
|
|
|

Can you display the code you are using to display the controls at runtime.

I had a requirement to dynamically place a number of controls on a win form. I created a custom control combining the 4 conrols I wanted and then added them to a FlowControl - this handled all the scroll issues
For Each oRow In oTable.Rows<br />
If oRow("Filename") <> sApp Then<br />
'Declare a new instance of the control<br />
Dim oApp As New ucApp(strApp)<br />
<br />
'Set some properties<br />
oApp.Left = 10<br />
oApp.Top = 100 + (20 * X) + (oApp.Height * (X - 1))<br />
'add the controll the the flowcontrol panel<br />
Me.pnlCenter.Controls.Add(oApp)<br />
X += 1<br />
End If<br />
Next

Use this code instead:
Dim proc As New Process()
proc = proc.Start("file name")
MsgBox(proc.Id.ToString())
Hope it helps !

Hi, AFAIK you should wait for the process to start before fetching its ID, so have
a look at Process.WaitForInputIdle().
