hi ,
I want to monitor the power status constantly, and on Power status change launch a program.
I understand that using PowerStatus call in .net 2.0 would do that for me. What I cannot make out is how to keep the form containing PowerStatus call execute it over and over again. Should I do like a do loop for the PowerStatus call or is their a better method that would keep the method execute constantly till the form is loaded.

How about using one of the Timers built into the .NET Framework??
You might want to start with the Timer in the Toolbox and dropping it on a Form.

Sorry, me again...
I thought of something.
How would one go about loading data from a select statement... like this one:
<br />
Dim connectionString As String = "Initial Catalog=DBName;Data Source=InstanceName;Integrated Security=SSPI;"<br />
Dim cn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)<br />
Dim sqlCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM StagingEmployer ORDER BY StagingDate", cn)<br />
cn.Open()<br />
Dim TestRowset As SqlDataReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader()<br />
Into a dataset. Then you can close the connection to the database... and work with the sorted data in the dataset???
I need help on this matter please.
Thank you in advance

So now i can just change the connectionString to point to another server (i just used the same server to test on.)

May I STRONGLY suggest you read up on parameterized queries. Using string concantentation to build your UPDATE query is a severe security risk and makes for some very unstable code.
Read this...[^]

i am going to run this vb.net code in a ssis package (script task)... i will be running this package in a scheduled job on SQL... so i dont think the user will be able to add bits to the query... this is just to keep our db up to date with their live database. The user wont see the results of these queries as it does not return any values to them... i only updates our database if the staging tables (that are populated by means of triggers) have any values available.
(if i am wrong please correct me)
Thank you anyway

Even more of a reason to secure the code.
Support123 wrote: so i dont think the user will be able to add bits to the query...
All it takes is a screwed piece of data, that you're assuming is good, to screw up your database. You do know what "assume" really means, don't you?
Support123 wrote: The user wont see the results of these queries as it does not return any values to them...
Well, the database returns data to someone at some time in the future. The users will eventually see the results.

Hi all,
Please help me on the migration task from vb to that of vb.net
for that code is written in vb 6.0 and i want to it in vb.net .
visual studion 2005 environment.
Thanks

That's a very generic question covering an awful lot of ground. To start with, just open the VB6 project in Visual Studio 2005. Do not double click the projects .VBP file. You have to open Open the Project with VS2005 already started. This will automatically launch the upgrade wizard which will TRY AND DO ITS BEST to convert the code to VB.NET. Since there are lots of changes between VB6 and VB.NET code, chances are you WILL have errors and need to correct the code by hand to get it working.

Hi,
Please help me...
I am struggling to run more then one query on sql server 2005... i get errors and i dont really know how to get going.
Here is what i have tried now:
<br />
Dim mySQLConnection As New SqlConnection( _<br />
"Initial Catalog=DBName;Data Source=InstanceName;Integrated Security=SSPI;")<br />
mySQLConnection.Open()<br />
<br />
Dim mySQLTransaction As SqlTransaction = _<br />
mySQLConnection.BeginTransaction()<br />
<br />
Dim mySQLCommand As SqlCommand = _<br />
mySQLConnection.CreateCommand()<br />
<br />
mySQLCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM StagingEmployer ORDER BY StagingDate"<br />
<br />
mySQLTransaction.Commit()<br />
<br />
mySQLConnection.Close()<br />
Now... how do i get the Select * from StagingEmployer Order by StagingDate return values into a rowset that i can use???
Once there... how do i run a second query like for instance:
<br />
Update StagingEmployer<br />
Set EndDate = GetDate()<br />
Where StagingDate < '2007/01/01'<br />
Sorry... i have tried it but not like this... i can post my previouse attempt but i will do this in 2nd post... it is a bit large.

In this example the first Query is the Select * from StagingEmployer Order By StagingDate (this one works fine) the second Query is the Update... (not working) i posted this section before but without the ,cn in the 2nd query. Sorry.
This doesnt work???
I thought it should and i am not sure why and how to get this going? Sorry for the big post.

Okay, i see that it is advised to use the ExecuteNonQuery() rather than ExecuteScalar() in my second query (the update Query)... but it is still not working 
It gives an error : There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.
I think i know what it means but i don't know how to fix it... The TestRowset is still open (i think that is why the error comes up) but i can't close it right??? because it needs to read it to be able to go to next record and next record and so on???

Beside your error I give you the tip to exlude the database connections and the SQL code OUTSIDE your code. SQL code belons in stored procedures and db connections in a ini-file or registry. This enables changes outside your code if there are db changes so a normal user/db-admin can modify it.

okay, thanks... i will keep that in mind... i will change it when i get this working

hi guys,,
i want my application to run from my network in partial trust mode and also i want to access data with oledbpoviders but i get security exception if i am in partial trst mode unless i configured the intranet zone to full trust that what i dont want, is there any way that i can run this application in partial trust mode, how do i create custom permission set like stuff ,, thanks in advance
..
hello
|
|
|
|
|
this is rather complicated stuff (more administrator like )
Normaly the best way is to give your application a strong name and then use the .net MMC plugin to configure the security context for the signed assembly.
|
|
|
|
|
can u please explain in a brief detail or give me some helping link ..
thanks in advance
hello
|
|
|
|

To use the .net config tool just go to the command prompt and enter:
"mscorcfg.msc"
You will see a nice GUI and hopefully find the infos you need.
To sign a assembly you can use sn.exe to generate a public/private-key that you can use in your application
More help with google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=code+security+.net
This one seems a good start:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/02/CAS/
As I said: this stuff is rather nasty - to fully understand you might want to buy a book (there are several books - just search for security and .net - I think any of these will have one or more chapters concerning CAS)
