I owe you my gratitude !
I can't say I have it figured out completely yet, but you have certainly managed to point me in the right direction, and given me a little push to boot, thanks.

I've inherited a large VB6 project (with zero chance of moving it to VB.NET) that I am slowly refactoring, beginning with reading the .ini files. Never mind the way it currently works, I just want to read all the section names, then within each section name, read all the keys and values.
According to the documentation on MSDN, this should be simple. The GetPrivateProfileSectionNames function should give me the section names, then GetPrivateProfileString (with a null for key-name) should give me the list of key/value pairs within the specified section. But they're not working.
When the GetPrivateProfileSectionNames wouldn't work, I tried switching to GetPrivateProfileString and passing it a null for the section name (which according to MSDN should do basically the same thing as GetPrivateProfileSectionNames). Again, no luck.
I could copy all the declarations and usages here (and will if I need to), but was hoping someone else may have experienced the same thing and already recognizes the symptoms and knows the answer.
Any help appreciated.

Can anyone point me to an article or example that shows how to do the following,
i have a picturebox (sizemode = zoom) inside a panel
when double clicking on the picture, it increases the size of the image by a set factor (1.2 times current size each time its double clicked),
although i can scroll to a point after doing this, i want to scroll to the same point in the image. so if the user doubleclicks on an arrow in the image, after the image is made bigger, i want the panel to scroll to where the arrow is again.
any links or help would be great
thanks

Not sure, but maybe the code samples here[^] will be helpful, especially the Zoom In and Out, and Fit the image in the PictureBox according to the image's true aspect ratio one.

Hello to everyone
I receive the following error message when trying to do some simple remoting tasks on my computer. Can anybody tell the meaning of this message and, if any, suggest a solution please?
Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: Type System.DelegateSerializationHolder and the types derived from it (such as System.DelegateSerializationHolder) are not permitted to be deserialized at this security level.
Pleeeease ... don't tell me to search Google (as someone did before) because I have already done so, but it didn't do any better
I also tried typeFilterLevel="Full" ... but, no difference ...
Thank you.

hi all, i need help in extracting the time and date of different files. Example .ppt files... I need to compare the time date so as to know wat file i want to delete. Thanks....
|
|
|
|

Do you mean date and time of created file?
If yes you can use the FileInfo
Dim fil As New IO.FileInfo("Your File Name")
MsgBox(fil.CreationTime)

Yes almost there.. but the problem is that i need to use the creation time and date to compare with the time and date now and if the file is 4 days old i have to delete it..

The rest is so trivial, you really need a VB.NET book if you don't know it.
DateTime.Now is the current date/time. If you subtract one DateTime from another, you get a TimeSpan which has a days property.

Thanks for the advise. I have tried the code and indeed it can show the date but it needs specific URL. What i ask to do is to look through a folder and know all the date of the files inside.. I try edit to use .directory but was unsuccessful. Any other ways that i can do?

--> Its simple if you read the "File Handling" chapter in any book of vb.net..!
--> You are suppose to go through the folders and search files. How to do it. Its all in the above chapter...!

Summary of my problem:
I have a DLL which generates some messages. I want to pass back a message to a VBA in Excel with the callback function in VBA whenever the message is generated.
Here is what I tried, but encountered a problem.
I have a callback function implemented in a DLL, called Test.dll, written in C as
typedef void (*SHOW_MSG_T) ( const char *message );
void __stdcall SetShowMsg( SHOW_MSG_T func );
I declare the callback and call functions in the Excel VBA as
Public Declare Function SetShowMsg Lib "Test.dll" (ByVal pCallback As Long) As Long
Public Function CallbackShowMessage(ByVal strMsg As String) As Long
MsgBox strMsg
End Function
:
:
:
Dim lRet As Long
lRet = SetShowMsg(AddressOf CallbackShowMessage)
However, when the DLL calls back CallbackShowMessage, I get Microsfot Visaul Basic Run-time error '14': Out of string space in the VBA. I am not sure what's wrong. Maybe the strMsg string in the VBA is not initialized. If that's the case, how do I fix it?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Bill

When you invoke the callback from your C code, pass it a global char[] array rather than one that's been allocated on the stack in your local function. That solved the same issue for me.
In other words, instead of this:
int void __stdcall SetShowMsg( SHOW_MSG_T func )
{
char message[1000];
sprintf(message, "something");
func(message);
}
^-- bad
Do this:
char message[1000];
void __stdcall SetShowMsg( SHOW_MSG_T func )
{
sprintf(message, "something");
func(message);
}
Or you could allocate it dynamically (not tested)
void __stdcall SetShowMsg( SHOW_MSG_T func )
{
char *message = new char[1000];
sprintf(message, "something");
func(message);
delete [] message;
}

Where are you storing the data, and what date do you want to store. If you are storing to a SQL Server database if you use the getdate() function it will get the server time. I expect Oracle would work in the same way. An alternative would be to use the UTC date.

Dear All,
I would like to know more if there are anyway to write a program to detect if there are replication of data.

You can query the system tables in sql server, the information should be available in there somewhere.
Hope this helps

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Public Class Form1<br />
<br />
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load<br />
Dim pobjtype As Type<br />
pobjtype = Nothing<br />
Dim PobjObject As New Object<br />
PobjObject = Nothing<br />
Dim pobjButtons As New Windows.Forms.Button()<br />
PobjObject = pobjButtons.GetType()<br />

Next<br />
End Sub<br />
End Class<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,
amit

You assign Nothing to the variable pobjtype, and then you try to use it as if it referenced an object.
Did you assign the value to the wrong variable on the line before?
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Sorry I didn't get you. Can you please explain with the line code ?
Thanks

He means that you assign Nothing to variable: pobjtype = Nothing
and then you try to use it
for ... in pobjtype.GetMembers
