I have setup my EXE(it's like a main menu calling other apps or assemblies) to use mutex for checking if another instance of the exe is running...this all works correctly. I have another access point into the mutex logic from the browser -- it runs different logic having the original exe start the requested application. This works correctly 90% of the time. On occasion even though the original exe is running, the TCPChannel will become disconnected -- without explanation. The only location that the actual disconnection logic exists in the code is in the dispose routine. I put logging in there marking sure that routine wasn't being called and it is not.
What is disconnecting the channel? Is there some unknown timeout I didn't notice?
Thanks.

I am saving data automatically each time a user steps off a field. However, if the user wants to exit using the X button and is stepping off an unsaved field to get to the X button the data just entered is disregarded. Stepping off to any other field is no problem...just the X button. Its like once the X button has been keyed then it overrides the leave event (where I am saving the data) to just exit the form.
Any suggestions. I have fiddled with the Form Closing and the Leave event on a datagridview to no avail.

Hi Luc...This is the first time I've posted here. Thanks for the really fast reply. I'll go back to the FormClosing event and give it another whirl.

Yes, you can. You'll have to save the sound file as a binary type, and pull it out and work some magic

Hi Niraj
Bellow is the code for scanning a document from a scanner attached to the system. You have to reference the a file 'wiaaut.dll' which u can get from the internet.
Enjoy scanning without drivers loaded.
Imports System.Reflection
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Imports WIA
'Inside the Scan Button write the codes below.
Dim Dlg1 As New WIA.CommonDialog
Dim Scanner1 As WIA.Device
Dim Img As WIA.ImageFile
Scanner1 = Dlg1.ShowSelectDevice(WIA.WiaDeviceType.ScannerDeviceType, False, False)
Img = Scanner1.Items(1).Transfer
Img.SaveFile(strpathandfilename)

I dont understand enumerators. Why are they used instead of normal variables...there has to be a benifit? What exactly are they? Does anyone know how to break this topic down for me...i searched MSDN2 and that was way over my head. I just need to know what they are and what are the rules and reasons that they are used. Any help would be great

Enumerators are just objects, just like normal variables are objects.
imonfiredammit wrote: there has to be a benifit? What exactly are they?
They limit the range of possible values that can be assigned to a variable with the specified enumerator's type.

Hi Colin, well, actually not all normal variables are objects. An integral type (Int16, Int32, etc.. ) is a value type, and it is not stored as an object (reference type) UNLESS it is needed to. It all depends on your code's syntax.
This automatic conversion between value types and reference types is managed transparently by the .net platform by means of two behind-the-scenes processes known as "boxing" and "unboxing" respectively.
Boxing implies first creating on the heap a new instance of an object "compatible" with the original value type (involving dynamic memory allocation) then the actual variable's value must be copied to this new instance.
Unboxing implies dereferencing the value stored in an object instance and convert it back to a value-type.
Dim o as Object
Dim n as Integer
Dim m as Integer
Dim al as New ArrayList
o = 5 ' the value 5 is converted to an object (boxing) before being assigned
n = 0 ' the object's value 5 is dereferenced and stored back in n as a type value (unboxing)
' This means that n holds a copy of the value stored in o (5) not an extra reference to the same object refered by o
m = 10 ' The value 10 is directly stored in variable m as a value type, no heap memory allocation has taken place
al.Add(m) ' The variable m is converted to an object (boxed) before being added to the collection
Some languages like C++ can't treat integral types as objects for the sake of efficiency, other languages like Smalltalk effectively treat every variable (even integral types) as objects, which results in memory allocation/deallocation overhead for every single variable. The .net platform gives you the best of both worlds: on most cases, integral variables will be treated as efficiently as C++'s integral variables, but if needed to, they will be *transparently* converted to an object by the automatic "boxing-unboxing" process, giving you the full benefits of object orientation.
Cheers,
Gerardo

Hi Erica
It's not clear in your post if you are asking about enumerations or enumerators.
They sound similar, but are totally different concepts. However, since you are asking about the difference between them and "normal variables" I assume you mean enumerations.
Talking about Visual Basic (at least with version 2003), their purpose varies depending whether you are compiling with Option Strict On.
With Option Strict Off, there is little difference between an enumeration and and integral variable. The enumeration simply helps the editor's Code Completion engine to suggest possible values for a variable (something really helpful). However, with Option Strict On, they allow you to program more robust applications since you will be creating a new data type that will have a restricted number of possible valid values.
To illustrate the enumeration's superiority *when used in an Option Strict On context*, imagine you are writing some sort of media player application. Most probably you need to control the player's state (playing, stopped, recording, etc). One valid way of doing it using normal integral variables as you suggest would be the following:
<code>
Const psStopped As Integer = 1
Const psPlaying As Integer = 2
Const psPaused As Integer = 3
Const psRecording As Integer = 4</code>
Then, you could somewhere in the code have a variable for controlling the state
<code>
Dim state as Integer
...
...
' Set the player's state to Playing
state = psPlaying</code>
This works, however, since the state value is held on a variable of type Integer, you might inadvertently add the following code
state = 5 ' oops this is an undefined player state
This is valid code and will compile without a fuzz, yet you might put your application in an invalid state and get unwanted results since the value 5 is a valid Integer value, but it is not an expected player state in your app's logic.
However, if you rewrite your application using an enumeration AND compile with Option Strict On:
<code>
Option Strict On
...
Public Enum PlayerStates
Stopped = 1
Playing = 2
Paused = 3
Recording = 4
End Enum
...
Dim state as PlayerStates
...
...
...
state = PlayerStates.Playing;
...
state = 5 ' This will give a compiler error, but ONLY IF compiling with
' Option Strict On
</code>
In this case, the compiler helped you avoid a possible programming error by disallowing assigning an invalid player state, according to the values defined in the PlayerStates enumeration.
This and other "defensive programming" options are available when compiling with Option Strict On, which is something I would recommend in the long run.
Hope I have clarified your doubt.
Cheers,
Gerardo

but when i try to add same supplier for say EUR and and usd then it creates the proble actually it add
both which should not happen .
Pl update me.
Thanks

You didn't listen to anything Colin told you[^] when you posted this question yesterday. I hate repeating myself, let alone repeating what other people say.
But, I will add that this code shows you don't know the basics of VB.NET, such as how subs and functions work. You're using "global" variables all over the place. I seriously recommend you pick up a beginners book on VB.NET and work through it. What you've posted here so far is in desperate need of a rewrite - desperate.

Hi,
I am using .Net 2003 with C#.
Pls provide me sytax of C# for Sending Mail throug Crystal Report.
I am using following code for generation report.
cRpt.ReportFileName = Application.StartupPath + @"\Reports\ABCReport.rpt";
cRpt.WindowState = Crystal.WindowStateConstants.crptMaximized ;
cRpt.Connect = "PROVIDER = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = " + Application.StartupPath + @"\Database\DB123.mdb;Persist Security Info=True";
cRpt.Refresh();
cRpt.Action = 1;
Thanks & Regards Ketan K.

I suggest that you post this question in the C# forum
DO NOT DELETE the post here (makes for very messy forums) but you might want to put a message in the subject (something like 'wrong forum','moved','deleted',...)
that said I don't know if its possible to send mail with crystal report (I know it isn't possible with the crystal reports deliverd with visual studio maybe with a newer version it is).
What is possible is to export you report to a file and then attach that file to the mail message.
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.
The only way we learn is by making mistakes.

how to pop up a window in windows application?

hi
before you post, you need to think and plan and ask your self if people will understand what you going to ask.
Number one, this is the way understand your unclear question.
you want to Display a form when something happened in you other form lets say you MDI, e.g when a button is clicked then you want to popup a form(Window). if so you need to understand that in .NET we are now OOPs orientated, so you have to create an object of the form that you want to display and use the show method to diplay your form. it seems you have not learned the Basic's of vb.net, i suggest you buy a book, or here is an E-book that will help.
